  • Hair Care Products: Summer 2017 Edition

    Here is a list of my current mainstay haircare products: Redken Curvaceous Low Foam Moisturizing Cleanser This is a great hair cleanser. It leaves the hair highly conditioned. To use it I dispense the product into my palm then disperse into both palms and work it in the hair starting with the roots. There’s an…

  • Wow.

    Stressful day. Had a lot going on. Felt pretty wiped out in the morning and decided to go run. Felt good but then more stress in the day. Got home later and the afternoon Sun was glowing brightly, as if inviting me. Put on my running clothes and hit the street again. The run was…

  • The Collapse of the City

    I went out on my bicycle a couple days ago through the city. I pretty much stopped bicycling but there were a couple errands I needed to run which I knew could be done fairly quickly on a bicycle. Still it was a mistake. It’s wrong to bicycle in this city. In fact it’s probably…

  • Poison oak honey

    In some areas around where I live there is a lot of poison oak. It is one of the hardiest, most well-adapted plants to this area. Sometimes on an otherwise barren hill there will be no other plants growing except for some poison oak tenaciously clinging to the soil and rock. One thing about poison…

  • Finally came up with a plan for my hair

    So in my process to transition back to natural the past months have been difficult. After bleaching my hair several times it became lighter, but still not light enough to match my natural color. The disparity between the color treated hair and my natural color is too high. I did try to color my hair…

  • Really enjoying Pike Place Roast

    I know maybe it’s cliche or something. Starbucks stores are everywhere. But anyhow a couple nights ago I went to a store and finally actually bought a bag of decaf Pike Place Roast pre-ground. I’ve now made pour-overs of it at home several times and can easily say this is the best coffee I’ve ever…
