Start my morning by my cat kissing my face and snuggling me…pretending he loves me. He just wants to be fed.
LIFE.
Black on black.
I have a wonderful espresso machine which I start up and take 2 shots before I function. Then I have my SUPER fancy coffee machine I luckily found at my local Target… did I mention I am fancy? I grind my Oakland Coffee beans and brew it up then my day starts.
Sunrise for sure! When I drink my coffee and the sun comes up… my day starts. I usually am sleeping before sunset. Or surfing. One or the other.
YES! I love reading and I collect books. Apparently I publish books too now. I have never owned a television before. Right now I am reading the autobiography on Bruce Springsteen and WOW he is quite amazing!!
Punk rock music, surfing and amazing people in my life and amazing human. People that chase their dreams no matter how wild they seem…. Inspire me constantly.
Since the pandemic I adopted Chestnut the Cat so I have a lot of new hobbies. I like to pet him, talk to him, comb his hair, style him with bowties, play with his tail, read bedtime stories to him, take him on walks and hopefully this summer I can teach him how to surf.
San Francisco! Geary Street to be exact. I am unsure of the room number at Kaiser but I can ask my Mom. I think my Dad fainted when I was born so he won’t know.
I used to drink fancy weird lattesmochachinofrappamamalatamilk and now I drink black coffee and espresso. I blame my trip to Cuba on this.
Oakland Coffee… that’s food right?
“The idea is not to live forever… but to create something that will”
HOT. Like my coffee and my man.
ET (is he dead or did he just go back home?) and Richard Branson!
Surfing with my cat this summer.
