I am doggy sitting my sister's dog this weekend and I managed to capture him yawning. It was a real big yawn. He loves his bed. And this is where he usually sleeps. Dogs are pretty fun.
I like paradox phrases. I am a math geek and I likethese kinds of sayings which make you think. For example.
"Nothing is better than Apple, but Microsoft is better than nothing."
"These words aren't real."
Anyways, I can't believe I have accomplished 173 days of photos. Damn, that's a lot.
There was just something really beautiful about these flowers during my morning walks. I must have looked pretty crazy taking pictures of random flowers on a lazy Wednesday morning. But sometimes you gotta stop and take pictures of life all around. I don't know there is a lot of dis-continuous theories in our world. My claim is that communities are close but not continuous. What do I mean by all this? What I am trying to say is that a rich affluent community can live 5 miles away from a poor community, but they have no intent or want to be connected with that community. But the reality is that people are all connected, because life is continuous until death. What happens to a poor community will ultimately have an effect on an affluent community. A clear example of this is with elementary schools. I live right by an elementary school which is relatively in a "poor" (less affluent) community, and I have friends who volunteer and help out an elementary school teacher from that school. Anyways, what I really don't get is that why does an elementary school have to struggle for its kids when a city like Mountain View, CA has a big ass corporation like GOOG in its city limits? Why can't the city just tax the hell out of them to fund the local elementary schools in their community? They make BILLIONS of dollars a year right? Pretty easy solution to tax GOOG right?
I usually go for easy morning walks these days ranging from 1-2.5 miles. It roughly takes 20-45 minutes. I like it a lot. It energizes my day. This means I crash around 11pm at night which is a good thing. My goal will be to walk about 10.0 miles a week till the end of the year. Why walk? Because I hate running. I was never good at running. One time I tried to run for track senior year in high school and I could not for the life of me run 4 laps. That is 1600 meters and that was like a warm up. I will stick to ping pong and video games for after school activities. Maybe some day I will run a marathon. But for now I prefer to walk every day. You gotta walk before you run.
This is stuff is awesome. I drink this tea after breakfast these days. I got hooked on it during the visits in Turkey. It is sweet and refreshing. I don't think I will be able to find this in the US. Anyways, the cruise high is now gone. It is Monday and reality is now sinking in. All good things must come to an end I guess.
Yup this is me with my paintings at the Sagi Studio's Group Art Show. The bottom is Thelonious Monk and the top is Baron Davis dunking on Andrei Kirilenko. There were about 15-18 students who displayed their pieces. This is my 3rd or 4th year attending this annual spring event.

I like the eyes and the curvature of the body. I don't know why this painting was being sold at the Asian Festival. The painting looks more like a naked African woman. But eh go figure it is San Francisco after all.
We get free lunches at work every Friday. It is not as good as Google's, but free food is always good. It looks like a mess, but it was pretty tasty. I am trying to eat well these days, so I only got a small piece of chicken and a small piece of beef. Also, I am trying to walk about 1.5 miles every morning these days. Thus far I have been able to do it for most of the week. I got inspired because I used to walk the observation deck on the cruise ship as a daily routine. My goal is to hover around 180 when I turn 30.
