Top O' Da Mornin Te Ya!

Last year I met Ethan and Mearii randomly at DTAW. I just remember getting gangbanged with FREE WINE by Mallory into meeting up with her editor at Citizen LA... at an establishment called Puss and Pooch mind you! Next thing you know Kyle and I are all Apliiq-ed up and interviewing Mearii at Royal-T for my LA 150 with Coolhunt.

Anyway, Stellar Magazine recently published my interview in their April issue. Yeah... Stellar Magazine of IRELAND!!!

When I grow up...

The summer after high school, I went to The Hollywood Bowl to see Feist. We were high up above the nose bleed section and just a little bellow us, there was this woman with all her girlfriends having a mini bachelorette party.

She had champagne, plastic wine glasses, strawberries, chocolates and a lot of other things.

She was just so classy and graceful yet oh so lively... regardless of her age. I remember telling myself... "MAN! I want to be just like her when I grow up!!!"

Well today I was at The Hollywood Bowl to see The Swell Season with all my girlfriends and we were drinking champagne, eating baguettes, cheese, blueberries, grapes and strawberries. We even had plastic wine glasses.

I think I'm growing up too fast.

French Day!

Changing of the Guards

Everything is changing. For the good. For the bad. I can never tell. It seems the same, but it's different.

Everyday we meet people. And everyday we are never the same because of what we learn from people. It's not drastic, but rather the little things. Things you never mind on a day to day basis. Until one day, after a certain time, a certain accumulation, you realize everything has changed.

It makes me sad, but hopeful at the same time.

I look at my friends and see what kind of people we've become. What different lives we're living. What different perspectives we're seeing.

It amazes me how much little time can do to alter a person. To become the persons we are all now. And in another year or two, we are different persons yet again.

When summer no longer means what it once meant. The carefree joy of loving a youthful life. When summer becomes the realization that everything changes. No matter how hard you try to hold on to it. To keep it, until you realize that it's not the same and the only thing left is for you to accept it and move on and hope...

In chromosome 2, locus 12... there is a gene called LRRTM1 that determines handedness. Left handedness to be exact. It also is correlated to Schizophrenia. Now I wonder, do all left handed artists have this gene? Without it, will creativity exist? If you mute it, can you eradicate art?

Which brings me to the question of genetics. Back in my mother's time and my grandmother's time, Catholic nuns would correct the lefties and force them to be right handed. I heard that it was even considered evil... just like the red heads. Now, there is a medical program more popularly known as designer babies in which parents can pick which genes to pass on to their children. Mutation, to simply put it.

Now how do you handle these two extremes? You've got the Church stating that we are the children of god. And then you've got Aldous Huxley's Brave New World in which genetics eradicates the humanity in humans.

Again, you've got the Church manually correcting the lefties and then you've got these designer babies being artificially corrected.

So my question is... WHATS THE DIFFERENCE?

no! ...No! ...NO! ...NO!! ...NO!!!

Summer Camp

I'm Swedish...

This is the last project I worked on for Cool Hunt and it actually got published in Epicure Magazine It has been a great run and I've learned so much from Cat and Dana, the coolest editors you can ever have.

This is the only published article I've written that isn't translated in Chinese, Japanese or Korean. So it's pretty awesome to be able to read it. (ego boosters and all)

And if anyone asks... YES! I've been to Stockholm! I'm actually local... YAH!

Sweets and Bottega

You might not know, but I used to write... properly commercial mind you. I wrote these articles last year and apparently got published just recently in Self China.

Bottega Louie is probably my favorite restaurant in Los Angeles because if you were in town, I would definitely take you there.

Sweets for the Soul is a shop specializing in brownies. Not just any brownies... SUPER BROWNIES!!! Sadly, it's not a sit in shop, but rather more focused on private orders and special events. Lily LaBonge (Yes the same Tom LaBonge set on destroying the Los Angeles food trucks) owns it. But please don't let that fact discourage you from ordering brownies from this lady. I would hate for you to miss out on those HOTTER SHOTS!

Summer is life without growth

I usually dislike the summer season because...

1. It is hot

2. It is too sunny

3. It is life without growth... according to Eleanor Savage

But Andrea and another blogger made me realize I should be a lot more tolerant.

I went biking yesterday and it made me thankful that I live in Los Angeles (Torrance), despite the fact that I hate a lot of things about it.

Cliff Diving

So yeah... that's what we did last week.
