1. Lightwriting
I do not have the words to describe how much I enjoy seeing lightwriting. My eyes are dazzled.
2. The Kills
The Kills produce a sound that I enjoy – gritty. The kind of sound that hits you while listening to them live in a small bar or in your headphones while on the train.
3. Limeade
For a time, my heart belonged to either a tall cold glass of mango nectar or freshly made lemonade; yet, for the Summer of 2010, my drink of choice is limeade. The marriage of sweetness and tartness does wonders for my thirst. I’m also fond of mojitos (when I make it the drink become a ‘kojito’), but I do not think it proper to drink mojitos everyday and risk being called an alcoholic. Limeade is enough to satiate my lime cravings during the summer (and fall and winter and spring).
4. Naruto Shippuuden
I know that I’m a grown man, but this show is a hard habit to break. I’ve always been a fan of animes and mangas, and Naruto is #1 on my list (Sorry Bleach). I’ve watched every episode and read every manga (500+ and counting) of the series. Maybe it’s the fact that the show’s protagonist, Naruto, is the perpetual underdog with a dream. Maybe it’s the fact that Naruto remains positive despite the hard childhood that he endured. Maybe it is the fact that Naruto never gives up despite the odds against him. I don’t know. Maybe I just simply love the show.
5. Oatmeal Cookies
First of all, I do not like chocolate chip cookies. As a child, I once consumed all thinks chocolate without abandon (cake, chocolate chips cookie, chocolate milk, etc). Honestly, I think that I overdosed on chocolate at such a young age that I now have an aversion to most things chocolate. In my eyes (and mouth), oatmeal cookies trump any kind of cookie any day of the week. I does not matter if the cookie is plan, frosted, with raisins, without raisins, soft, or hard. I will eat every oatmeal cookie within a one mile radius. Oatmeal cookies have that right kind of sweetness. Sometime a cookie can be too sweet. The sweetness of an oatmeal is subtle (which I like).
6. House Hunters International
I watch a fair share of travel shows – Anthony Bourdain’s No Reservations, Andrew Zimmern’s Bizarre Foods, Dhani vs. The Globe, etc. Yet, House Hunters International surpasses them all. I’ll tell you why. It’s one thing to encounter a travel show leaves you wanting to travel to distant locales; it’s another thing to encounter a show that leaves you dreaming of living there permanently.

Photos on the Wall
|
All of these photos were found in my phone’s photo gallery. Some of these photos go as far back as 2008. Do not expect Leica, Canon, or Nikon photo quality here (though some photos were modified with the help of iPhone photo apps). Indirectly, the photos document my time spent in New York City. A few of these photos were taken in Las Vegas, Chicago, and Houston; but, essentially, these photos pay homage to the city that both challenges and rewards me.
