Ebell Street

Note: Ebell is pronounced "E-bell".

Have you ever played hide 'n seek
In the Summer twilight on Ebell street?
Swarming unafraid the cul de sac,
Little children and cats of black.
This neighborhood song plays on repeat
disturbed only by shouts of "car!" forcing a quick retreat.

With no parents in sight
All is set for another Ebell night.
Running 'round in bare, dirty feet,
Miscellaneous siblings will compete.
Starting with, "Bubblegum, bubblegum, in a dish!
How many pieces do you wish?"

Then counting all the way to one hundred
"No peaking, or else!" instills the proper dread.
Longing to hide with the girl from next door,
Dodging her eyes, you're never sure,
Thoughts of a kiss are so sweet,
Until the one who is "it" you suddenly meet.

Soon giggles and panting give way to a new round
There's still one kid who can't be found.
But first, common law rulings: there is distress!
Is it a tag, when it's the hem of a dress?
And little Paul can't be "it" alone.
Take turns teaming with him, or he'll go home!

The game must end soon and the Sun has long gone
making scary certain parts of the lawn.
Friends and enemies turn into silhouettes
Recognition requires being within a few steps.
Fear of darkness, faith in Ebell Street!
Maybe it's time to perform your greatest feat.

She stands off with her friend,
Sharing secrets that will never end.
Approaching her, now is your chance
For true love, often dismissed as childish romance.
But alas! The girl's parents call her in,
A new round starts, but who'd wanna play hide 'n seek again?

I wish

Comback fail.

Cover up fail.

a few advantages of running around paris with baby physicists:

-- really good at converting local currency

-- rapid ability to locate positions of persons, places, and things on maps

-- concise reports of possible entertainment value of various things to do

disadvantages:

-- no significant understand of french of french history

-- we probably didn't look terribly attractive to french girls

dang it

srsly

i am a poor champion of "bane of banality", but at least i aim for it. and it is a worthy, worthy thing.

i think not going to biola university is the biggest regret of my life. however, it might have taken not going to biola university to realize that.

max said to jon, "i often have like an inverse sour grapes reaction. i guess some people call this optimism."

I don't think any of us will ever get used to aging.

Do you think young, male, Asian drivers drive so speedily and loudly and annoyingly because they're afraid of being pegged as typical Asian drivers?

Also, there's nothing like a simile.

Go Dog Go

I painted this in a few hours on the weekend. It's a greyhound and it's ok.

Danielle Goes Down

This is not good.
This is not efff good.

So I called my New Year's Eve date and left her a message last night.
She hasn't called back

So what am I doing now? I'm on facebook. I add Danielle M. as a friend. She confirms about 15 minutes later. She posts twice on my wall saying she likes my new haircut and ish. I start chatting her on facebook. Who is this Danielle M.? For one, she's named Danielle, which is trouble. For two, she's the cute little sister of Sam Morabito and she now goes to UCI. For three, she's part of the triathlon club at UCI, which I might be joining, so she also looks all toned and ish. She's pre-med. She's Catholic. And finally, there's a picture of her on facebook with like a huge-ass tattoo on her back.


Who said it's better to show, not to tell? (She's on the left, btw)

Dimebags of Penny Candies

So I was going to call the arena soccer place to find out what time my game was. I have an entry in my cell phone for them, named "Arena Soccer." I opened my cell phone, I went to contacts, I hit 2 on the keypad to get to the a's. Then I thought, wait a minute, the alphabet starts with "a"! So I hit the clear key to erase my "a" and proceeded from there.

I think I'll make it to my game tonight. Go Dimebags.
