Yours Are the Sweetest Eyes I’d Ever Seen

A Morning with the Rock
I’m staring at Alcatraz challenging it to stare back, while the moon stares at the back of my head. It’s 5:54 AM on a brisk 48 degree Saturday morning. I’d fallen asleep by 10:00 PM, a far cry from my younger days of starting my night at that time.

The story of Pearl Jam is the story of friendship. It’s the story of love. It’s the main reason why they have been among my favourite bands as they have spanned my college years thru young and old adulthood in Chicago. They have spanned my high school friends, among my best friends to my post-college friends, among my best friends. Continue reading Pearl Jam with Derek — 20 August 2016
New Years Eve 2016
Throughout the day, my mantra was a wish that I was saying to myself over and over again, like a record playing my favourite songs — I wish for those that I love, health and love and peace and happiness. 2016 had been a good year. Continue reading New Years Eve 2016
