Fall Weddings

My friend's Lin and Bradley got married this weekend, one of the most romantic weddings I've ever been to. They deserve each other . 

To My Twenties

My buddy prescribed me this poem today: 

To My Twenties

by: Kenneth Koch

How lucky that I ran into you
When everything was possible
For my legs and arms, and with hope in my heart
And so happy to see any woman—
O woman! O my twentieth year!
Basking in you, you
Oasis from both growing and decay
Fantastic unheard of nine- or ten-year oasis
A palm tree, hey! And then another
And another—and water!
I’m still very impressed by you. Whither,
Midst falling decades, have you gone? Oh in what lucky fellow,
Unsure of himself, upset, and unemployable
For the moment in any case, do you live now?
From my window I drop a nickel
By mistake. With
You I race down to get it
But I find there on
The street instead, a good friend,
X— N—, who says to me
Kenneth do you have a minute?
And I say yes! I am in my twenties!
I have plenty of time! In you I marry,
In you I first go to France; I make my best friends
In you, and a few enemies. I
Write a lot and am living all the time
And thinking about living. I loved to frequent you
After my teens and before my thirties.
You three together in a bar
I always preferred you because you were midmost
Most lustrous apparently strongest
Although now that I look back on you
What part have you played?
You never, ever, were stingy.
What you gave me you gave whole
But as for telling
Me how best to use it
You weren’t a genius at that.
Twenties, my soul
Is yours for the asking
You know that, if you ever come back.

Halloween

A few pictures from last night's Halloween Party

I went to a WWII party, but people didn't really obey the theme, I wish I had pictures of my outfit it was so rad, I wore my grandfather's Army jacket and hat. 

Thursday the greatest day

Today was a great day, got to be in the college times, ate lunch with an old friend, drank too much coffee, and celebrated a new friend's birthday. 

Camping tomorrow for my Outdoor Survival Class, so stoked.

Blow your whistle for peace! I found out about this foundation through a good friend that rents out the lofts that their interns live in, based out of LA. Slowly this foundation is growing, 100% of their proceeds from these whistles and T-shirts are going to rehabilitate the rescued children in the Congo. This deadly war has been going on for 10 years, and roughly 6 million people have died from it. The whistles were their weapons when they were forced beyond their will at the front of rebel lines as a temporary barrior. They had the choice: die, run, or fake their death. Each of those options end in death within a short amount of time. I've never heard of a story as touching as this one. Go to their website to learn more about the non-profit organization and order your whistle.

I really enjoy making petite bagel treats.

This whole wheat bagel has a cream cheese spread, honey roasted turkey, provolone cheese, and cucumbers. My parents gave me a bunch of nice looking cucumbers from their garden, I can never eat them in time. 

Breakfast- bagel cream cheese, egg friend in coconut oil, and some fair trade coffee.
