Where to start..KARMA! As of the last two months or so it has been coming and going around nicely. I’ve bought lunch/dinner for friends and at the same time from other friends, the favor was returned. I woke up this morning, made my cacao/banana smoothie and drank some water as I watched some new TED.com talks. This is such a great web site, you should really check it out if you haven’t. Headed over to Kiva.org, found someone in Lebanon, and made another donation.

Christmas eve consisted of a bowl of Pho and some Cafe Sua Da. I like how I have managed to be able to walk in to my friends restaurant after they have started shutting it down early for Christmas eve and still manage to have soup. It was nice not having a single customer in the restaurant, just me and the owner shooting the shit over great food. I didn’t buy anything for anyone, and there is nothing that i could possibly want. I still have a gift I’m going to get for a close friend of mine who has came in and out of my life over the last 2 years, the last year being one that brought us closer.EcoReno will be getting a visit, along with a purchase.

Part of me questions the whole Christmas thing. I’m not bitter about it, I just don’t understand it. This Americanized holiday that is supposed to bring you closer to your loved ones. This time of year seems to remind people that for the last 9 months or so you have taken much for granted, now take a day or two off and remember what you have, then go back to work and forget about it. All the random stuff that is made to be wasted on December 25th. Wrapping paper, gift bags, bows, where does all this stuff go the next day? How many people recycle it?

I went to a corporate piece store a few days ago to steal some more Polaroid film, that stuff will be like gold soon. Acroyoga tonight, friends, and hopefully I can squeeze some Indian or Ethiopian food in my budget over the next two days.

Take good care.
