Time flies when your having fun. And inversely, time goes really slowly when things suck. With that said, depending on the desired pace for your life you must budget your intake of “fun”. If you wish to live a long and average life there are obvious precautions that you must take. Avoid run-ins with the law, thus avoid participating in activities that would peak the interests of law enforcement. Kinda like that “How not to get your ass kicked ” bit from the Chris Rock Show.

Staying home or being an accountant are other safe ways to live a slow and average life. But, if you so choose to live a short and fun-filled life then by all means DO NOT PRE-PLAN ANYTHING. Live impulsively and in the moment. For this type of lifestyle there are no rules. Activities involving drugs, crime, sex with std-ridden prostitutes, and base jumping are all encouraged. Careful, father time might play a trick on you and allow you to live longer than intended. You may be stuck with the consequences of your previous fun having activities. These consequences include Emphysema, Liver Failure, Mental Illness, Depression, a bad back, or ugly looks. WARNING: Those who take the slow route are not except from these consequences. All is fair in love, war, and life in general.

And finally if you are a middle-of-the-road type you will have to do a bit more fun budgeting than the two aforementioned parties. But, fret not, the middle path can be both rewarding and enjoyable. Simply, if you would like time to speed up it is you duty to engage in your definition of “fun”. If you would like things to slow down, you need to somehow bum yourself out. If you would like for things to move at a medium-pace, then you simply need to have what I like to call “medium-fun”. Mmm.. Medium. There are an infinite amount of medium-fun combinations. I will leave that up to you to decipher.

Reflections in mirrors and digital pictures are varied - add lighting, angles, etc and you have an end result that is SO varied than you can hardly tell what you really look like. When you see an image of yourself and become depressed due to your haggardness do not attempt to retake the image. You will most likely fail in restoring your confidence. The memory of the previous distorted picture still lingers. Instead, find a celebrity who you feel you resemble and every time your confidence is running low imagine a low quality photo of this celeb. Know that when people see you they are seeing a lesser attractive, but socially acceptable version of this celeb. You might go as far as making this into a career. Trust me honey, you ain’t that bad. You kinda resemble so and so… really.

Since a summer road trip with the family back when I was 11, I’ve been somewhat obsessed with the stretch of coast between Monterey and Pismo Beach, also known as Big Sur. I try to visit parts of it or drive through Big Sur any time I’m in California. When I heard about this book coming out I was excited on the concept and the potential coverage of The Sur. They cover the entire coast, but I’ll be picking up this publication to see the Big Sur content. Plus the photography is amazing.

THE CALIFORNIA SURF PROJECT

“The California Surf Project is the fully illustrated travel diary of two surfers who took this trip of a lifetime. Chris Burkard, a talented photographer, and Eric Soderquist, a professional surfer, cajoled their Volkswagen bus along Highway 1 from the Oregon border to the Tijuana Sloughs and discovered everything the Golden State’s legendary coastline has to offer.

Relive their incredible adventure of surfing perfect waves, sharing campfires with total strangers, and keeping the bus running with duct tape and prayers in more than 200 gorgeous photographs, soulful text, and a professionally produced thirty-minute DVD.”

Hard times call for creative measures. Let’s do this. Yo Luke, is this the 3-pack you were talking about?

There sure are a lot of music sites. Pandora is OG and for a stubborn music listerner like myself it works pretty well. They ads are kind of a bother, but manageable. I have stations for every musical era of my life. It’s neat how we associate certain songs with certain memories. My Lucas’s Car station reminds me of working at NHS in Santa Cruz, CA with my homie CJ. Lucas is an illustrator for SC and Indy. He is this big tatted guy with a shaved head. Only listens to 2pac and NWA tapes in his car. He was always down to drive somewhere for lunch. He was a bruiser, but man was he nice. Talented too. Ask somebody.
