These Days

IMG_0026a copy I'm 34, single and trying to get thru life with doing mostly freelance gigs. I never thought I would end up like this at 34 but I guess that's the problem when you don't plan for things.

I'm more or less living day to day. Sure I have an ultimate goal for life but so what? I feel like I"m just floating down a river. I'm moving along like I'm paddling down the river but in reality it isn't doing much.

What do I want to do? I'm not quite sure. I flip flop a lot. I want to move to London, Tokyo or even Hong Kong but New York feels comfortable. I want to be a full time photographer but this desk job feels comfortable.

I know...I'm not doing as much as I want or should. I should be on top of a mountain and screaming my name out. I keep waiting for things to happen but instead I should be making things happen.

Why is turning old so annoying?

In March I will turn 35, I hope by then something in my life will be different than right now.

I don't care what you think of my taste in music or what you think of Bon Jovi but "These Days" is probably the one song I have on repeat the most times.

Keep on reaching for those stars people.

"I was walking around, just a face in the crowd Trying to keep myself out of the rain Saw a vagabond king wear a styrofoam crown Wondered if I might end up the same There's a man out on the corner Singing old songs about change Everybody got their cross to bare, these days

She came looking for some shelter with a suitcase full of dreams To a motel room on the boulevard I guess she's trying to be James Dean She's seen all the disciples and all the "wanna be's" No one wants to be themselves these days Still there's nothing to hold on to but these days

These days - the stars seem out of reach These days - there ain't a ladder on the streets These days are fast, nothing lasts in this graceless age There ain't nobody left but us these days

Jimmy shoes busted both his legs, trying to learn to fly From a second story window, he just jumped and closed his eyes His momma said he was crazy - he said, "Momma, I've got to try. Don't you know that all my heroes died? And I guess I'd rather die than fade away."

These days - the stars seem out of reach But these days - there ain't a ladder on the streets These days are fast, nothing lasts in this graceless age Even innocence has caught the midnight train And there ain't nobody left but us these days

I know Rome's still burning Though the times have changed This world keeps turning round and round and round and round These days

These days - the stars seem out of reach But these days - there ain't a ladder on the streets These days are fast, love don't last in this graceless age Even innocence has caught the midnight train And there ain't nobody left but us these days

These days - the stars seem out of reach These days - there ain't a ladder on the streets These days are fast, nothing lasts There ain't no time to waste There ain't nobody left to take the blame There ain't nobody left but us these days" - Bon Jovi

My New Favorite Fried Chicken Sandwich

Fried chicken sandwich, spicy b&b pickle slaw, and rooster aioli. Son of a Gun 8370 W. 3rd Street Los Angeles, CA 90048Son of a Gun

While I didn't get to have a proper meal at Animal (a restaurant that I have been wanting to go since many...MANY people having been raving about it), I did get a chance to have lunch at their sister restaurant, Son of a Gun. Son of a Gun is a seafood centric restaurant but their fried chicken sandwich was crazy good. Toasted buttered buns, tangy slaw and a perfectly fried piece of chicken...I wouldn't mind driving an hour just for that.

The day started off with brunch hours in front of Susan Feniger's Street and some guy bought everyone in front of him 1 cone so that he could cut the line short.

We had few hours to waste before heading to our final spot at Faultline Bar, so we took the truck around LA for some photo ops. And lucky for us, a Chick-fil-A was just blocks away from us. We just HAD to swing by for some photos. While we were plotting our next move, couple Chick-fil-A employees came out (I thought to kick us out) asking if we were open. HA! For them, yes.

Faultline Bar was the truck's very last LA stop. Did you know that even zombies like ice cream? Doug brought Mila Hermanovski onto the truck to critique Gen's fabulous outfit and later all of us chowed on bacon wrapped dog topped with onions, parsley, mayo and mustard from Rosie (the main reason why the truck was parked there).

Thank you everyone for coming out and supporting the Big Gay Ice Cream. Doug, Bryan, Gen and Martha really kicked ass during this weeklong pop-up and hopefully they'll be back soon!

Last night we parked at the parking lot diagonally across from the restaurant Animal and it was non-stop cones/sundaes/paletas serving for the fearless Bryan, Doug and Gen.

We had to close the line early so that we could actually leave on time. With a 2hr long line that stretched to the back of the parking lot, the school (they say they own the lot) had the LAPD come to kick us out. In the end, we worked everything out and was able to finish the night without having to leave.

Also Andy Richter tried to steal the truck.

Also if you're going to stand in line for 2hrs, you might as well just order the whole menu.

LA people! Today is their last day out. Be sure to check their schedule and of course their Twitter for any changes.

Power tip: COME EARLY. DON'T WAIT TILL THE LAST MINUTE! We're expecting Faultline Bar to get real crazy.
