Damn it is hella hot again in NorCal. Don't try this at home I was at a parking log going 15 mph while I took this shot. But man it is really really hot today. Good thing I put on the AC in my car. I have no AC in my 3rd floor apartment. Damn it I really need to find a hot older woman AKA a "sugar momma." A brotha' just wants a little AC in his life. On some other notes, some of my friends are going to Kenya to spend 11 days with a Christian pastor helping out the refugees in the eastern boarder close to Somalia. Man, all my bitching and moaning the past couple of days is really trivial compared to other situations in the world. The unbearable heat, the "maybes" for some an art show. It's all trivial. But yeah God is good, God is great, God is love.

Crazy colorful flower, another one of these morning walk photos. So the art show is in a few days. I am a bit anxious, because a lot of work people will be there. But it should be all good. One pet peeve I really hate is when people say maybe to invites. I don't typically throw parties and what not. I am really not good at being the center of attention, but anyways, when I am at the center of attention people say maybe, just really pisses me off. Maybe it is because I am a type of person who says what I mean, and I mean what I say. I just don't know, saying maybe when you are in your 30s is a pretty childish thing to say to someone. I mean sh*t yes or no my feelings won't get hurt if you say you can't make it. I probably shouldn't take this personally. But I don't know it's my stuff. I just don't get it, people say oh "I love your work Jonathan", but then when I have a show, people say "maybe." But whatever, I am sure it will be fine and I will always have a good time with people who are with me at the moment, All the maybes just missed out.

This is my nephew looking out to see his doggy being washed by his daddy. He has a some island boy culture in his blood, so I like to see him chillaxin' I mean he probably just had his diaper changed, he is watching his doggy get washed, he is laying under the hot California sun on a Sunday morning, and all he is saying in his head is probably life is good.

Too bad he didn't smile for the camera. He is probably sick and tired of having his picture taken. He has the deer in the headlights stare. He has hella big chubby cheeks like ours in the family. This is me and the nephew :-D

Well I had to make something out of the spinach from the leftovers. So here it is a nice healthy spinach omelet. It was a very good healthy alternative. No cheese, just spinach, salt and pepper and 2 eggs

Ok so I have been going to a workshop trying to play the banduria for a rondalla group from Kawayan. Kawayan is a non-profit organization being run, by former Filipino-American classmates in college. The banduria is a small 14 string instrument. It is pretty difficult to play because I have fat fingers. As you can see it relative to my mac book pro and my 19 inch flat panel monitor. Anyways, here are the wikis and links below for some Filipino knowledge and what nots...
