Shot of the sky yesterday as I drove home from work. Yes, just something to replace that big eye that's been greeting you as you visit my blog =)

Random food-related post. Ok so it defeats the purpose of eating a banana as a healthy snack, but I'm eating a banana with some cadbury mini eggs and it's pretty good, hehe. Anyone else enjoy bananas with chocolate?

You know you're hard up for interesting things to blog about when your brain starts fabricating things in your sleep to write about. Problem is, when you wake up you realize none of it was real and half of it doesn't make sense anyways. But if you were thinking "I'll blog about this in the morning" while asleep, you know you've been thinking about blogging too much.

I was once good or at least decent at writing. That was back in my late teens / early 20s, when instant messaging wasn't what it is today, and when I would either be writing analytical essays for school, writing lengthy e-mails to friends (I used to love e-mail... now I'm lucky if I respond to them), or writing letters/e-mails home from Korea. Writing was always thoughtful and I seemed to be able to organize my thoughts more easily and naturally.

I think I subscribe to my friend Schmidt's theory that you get dumber as you get older. It honestly takes a lot more mental energy these days to form a well thought out analysis than it took 7-8 years ago, and it's a task I'm not often up to anymore. Blog entries are often spontaneous and hence not very well thought out and poorly written. It also seems like logging on to create an entry is an instant mental block-- I can't remember anything I wanted to write about within the previous hours.

Maybe part of it is that for the last few years my studies have been focused mainly in the right-brain area (creative). It's not like I spent 14 years focusing on left brain or anything, heh. I still think about things and analyze them in my head, but I've just become less and less adept at expressing those ideas or thoughts, and so I refrain from attempting to write about them.

Another problem, as you can already see in this post, is that when I do start writing I often tend to ramble on and on about nothing, I go on too long.

So I leave you with this thought for the day:

I like orange Hi-C.

A Fajita Grilled Steak salad at Cafe Rio

Of course this topic is only relevant to people who live in, may have lived in or visited Utah, as this chain is local, but it's fascinating nonetheless.

Cafe Rio is this Mexican grill that seems to be enormously popular in Utah. I use the word "phenomenon" because I'm not really quite sure why it's so popular and so addictive. Why is it so?

Everyone has their toys-- this BMW motorcycle is one of my dad's.

So I decided to watch Shawn's Lacross games today as they were a couple of his last. His team won both games, by the way. In the process of watching the first game, which went from about 11am to 1pm, I managed to royally toast my face, scalp (thanks hair gel), arms and knees. I'm just grateful it wasn't my back or chest, I wouldn't be able to move.
