Random 4th of July Links

Lately, I seem to have lost some steam with the blog. It just doesn't feel like it used to. I've considered deleting it because it seems to be missing awesome. It's not that I don't have anything to say but by the time I get to the computer to blog all the things I thought I'd want to write about go away. Even these top 10 posts are getting kind of lame. This was the best I could muster this morning. Some aren't so bad.

• Happy 4th of July, preserving the Declaration of Independance - WIRED.
• The fattest states in the US - nom nom nom.
  
• I would not want to be on this train.
• There should be more bloody mary's in our lives. These mixes look promising.
• Checkout this Vimeo video showing off some fixed-gear biking goodness. I'm inspired to get a road bike and a fixed gear bike. Priorities, priorities... sigh.
• ffffound.com is a pretty cool site. I found this photographer's site off of it. This is one of his pictures. I think it shows a beautifiul young moment of love.
• Awesome Soup of the Day!
  
• The coolest outdoor sport's spaces. Of course it's in the Netherlands.
• I remember seeing a lot of these posters in college.
• My favorite pizza.
• The most badass wolf t-shirt belongs to this guy.
  

Today's Top 10

• This looks like it JUST happened.
• My friend's family restaurant was selected as Miami's Best Seafood by the Miami New Times: Boater's Grill. I need to go.
  
• The best home parking space.
• Geeky graffiti.
• I enjoyed this, Bob Dylan cover.
• Travel for your mascot: Petairways
• I had a databank once. These are fancy.
• Facebook vs. Twitter [pic]
• Iranian Election Crisis, some content not suitable for everyone. [link]
• Advertising FAIL

Not much of a top 10. Seeing as I haven't made one of these in a while and am rusty these will only get better since I've been posting more. Trying to get back into the swing of things.

Saturday Morning Top ...

Today's list...is in....
no particular order...

• William Shatner became an element of comedy at somepoint in our culture. Can this ever become comedic? Personally I think they're trying to rip off some of the awesomeness from the new Batman movies. I don't mind much anyway...

• Next Bike Miami is March 14th.
  
  
• Pretty cool Hong-Kong based design house: AllRightsReserved
  
  
• Cool pic of a car speeding through a tunnel. I like how the car, which is stationary in reference to the camera is SHARP.
  
  
• Trying to finish reading Watchmen today. Silk Spectre isn't the highlight of the movie but here are a collection of kick ass shots of her.
  
  
• I guess if you're going to visit a nude beach, it might as well be one of these - who's with me!?

Saturday Morning Top 10!

It's been a while. I haven't done this in months. My inspiration comes from being wide awake. Somehow I am. Last night I went to a friend of mine's birthday dinner. We dined at a hidden gem I had never known till 12 hours ago. Actually I can't believe it - I just found that they, in fact, have a web page, Jesus, how have I never known of this place?.

My first time having Korean food. My metaphor to describe it comes out to - teppanyaki BBQ with kimchee - which translates to delicious in my books. Anyhow we had plenty of Mutsu-OH (my favorite cold junmai sake)and Sapporo. After dinner there was a 3 hour Karaoke session that drove all the restaurant's customers out. Perfect.

This morning Miami is like an excited, wet, and young vagina - angry, hot, wet, and keeps you in.

Now it's 8am or so, I'm up. Now the list:

• Bill O'Reilly lays the smack down once again!
• Palin's daughter has the right idea.
• Giant penis crop circles exist.
• Best ground based image of Jupiter ever.
• Cheeseburgers with grilled cheese sandwiches as the bun - here.
• I need to go here someday.
• Iron Man Ultimate Two-Disc Edition Blu-ray disc, to buy or not to buy - that is the question.
• I bought this shirt and this shirt - I need new t-shirts.
• Imagine Havana Before Castro...checkout some photos(these are not related to the previous link).
• A translation that is not so good.
• Florida is weird - then again denial of sex can be tough.
• Hotties from the Olympics - pics here.
• This site is dope - www.behance.net

Ok so there's more than ten...

Change is good.

At this rate things will never be the same. I'll be turning 29 in September. The end of my twenties. Sure lots of people say that the 30s are really cool. But who are those people? Don't get me wrong I appreciate change. My head nods when people say "change is good" or "embrace change." I don't have a problem.

The funny thing is that change can occur for several reasons. Humor me while I create this subset of reasons:

• time
• A decision is made
• chance

We're all way too familiar with time so I won't spend any time on that one - with time your fountain soda will get full and your crows feet will get large. There's also chance, which is what happens when it starts raining, you get a flat tire, and whatever you were going to do next is now in the hands of time or an outside force. What I find most interesting is change by making a decision. Here time and chance are completely uninvolved. Like if I quit my job and went on a 6 week walkabout with some friends in South America. That would make for change by decision and would specifically address a behavior not likely once into the 30s or so I'm lead to believe.

So I have no choice but to train myself to welcome the upcoming time frame, it's implications, joys and consequences.
