Day One, 2023

It was raining on New Year’s Eve as I drove home. I arrived home about two minutes to midnight. The neighborhood was west and dark. As the clock strikes midnight, I heard noises from outside my car. Suddenly people were out on the street, in the rain, cheering for the new year.

I exited my car and immediately greeted by a neighbor, handed me a cooking lid and a large spoon. Sounds of pots and pans can be heard along the new year’s cheer.

We were all somewhat dancing in the rain and wished each others well for the year to come.

We did not need a fancy party In-N-Out neighborhood, just good neighbors.

To all of you, welcome to 2023.

Quietly Fading to Black

It is December 12, 2022 morning. Hearing sound of thunders as rain drops wet any surfaces it touches. A moment of clarity surfaces, bearing neither bad nor good news. The distance between two minds slowly turns into barriers. Now the colorful conversation is quietly fading to black.

Series of Dreams

Sometimes it feels that my life is just a series of dreams, one after another. My dreams felt so real and made more sense than my waking life at times.

Maybe I long for something out of reach.

Back in the day, a Metallica “Snake Pit” pass didn’t cost car payment for a year.

I’m excited about Metallica upcoming tour, but my bank account disagrees. I had to earn my “Snake Pit” pass instead of throwing a bunch of money to get one.

Metallica “Nothing Else Matters” Snake Pit Experience

New song, new album, and World Tour… Metallica is sure to sell out the tickets. As much as having Metallica as one of my all time favorites, I would have to choose between attending the shows in style or use the money for some luxuries such as food for the whole month or three.
