Houston

I’ve decided to start painting. I’m trying to stay home more and not spend money. Currently I’ve had crazy writers block so I’ve been trying to be creative in other mediums to try and keep juices flowing. So when I get writers block, I paint.
P.S. I have no clue what I’m doing

Comparing Houston weather and LA weather is an extremely one sided discussion. It’s great here, it’s technically winter and we’re having a high/low of 70/55 on a regular basis. It cools off in the night time, it heats up and is sunny during the day. There is almost always a breeze. And most of the time I just keep a window open because it’s so beautiful I don’t need AC or even a fan. I want what it’s like outside to be the temperature inside. It’s always great outside. On rare occasion there is rain, really rare occasions.

Naturally that’s a good thing. Rain isn’t something you really wish for (with few exceptions: droughts…maybe that’s it). And saying that I will miss bad weather while I’m in beautiful weather sounds sarcastic, however I mean it…to an extent. It rained a bit last night and I found that I was a bit more relaxed all of a sudden. It’s been a bit of a stressful, transitory time in my life. There’s a lot on my mind and when I heard the rain outside everything just stopped for me and my mind was filled with countless memories of home.

Houston isn’t known for great weather. It’s constantly raining randomly. There’s tropical storms and hurricanes. It’s practically summer year round with the hotter months being unbearably hot. Then there’s the humidity. The overwhelming humidity that slowly eats away at a man’s soul. Yet, this is the place that I proudly call home. This is what I grew up with and have grown accustomed to.

Now, I’m surrounded by good weather, for once, and I’ll never complain about it or take it for granted. But last night when it rained and I feel asleep listening to rain drops playing light percussion on my window I felt a little closer to home. I realized, rainy days and thunderstorms are just a part of me in a strange way. As a kid looking out of a window at a rain storm was discouraging. Now, it brings me back home.

So I watched the Academy Award winning documentary The Cove. If you have not seen The Cove I highly recommend it. Earlier this week the seasonal slaughtering of dolphins began. The main thing this cause needs right now is exposure so tell your family, tell your friends, tell your enemies about the thousands of dolphins that get brutally killed. I know there are so many evils and atrocities in this world that need attention but this one is fairly unknown so raise awareness if you see fit. Watch the PSA and then go watch the movie. Thanks!

Take Part

Who knows with some extra time on my hands I might be able to blog again. Or I’ll just be lazy, there’s about a fifty-fifty chance.

I check Twitter constantly now, Facebook is always at my fingertips,I can Google anything simply by speaking into my phone and now I have found out I can blog while sitting around waiting for my haircut appointment.

Useful technology or just another way to look like a nerd in public? Only time will tell.
