Reflection Eternal
Reflection Eternal Analyzing my life, I viewed my surroundings and people to the cause of many problems only to have realized that I was part of the problems I complained about and stirred away from. Living in such a small bubble concerning myself with my past- past relationships, work, resentments, thoughts, views, actions and outlook- shortened my vitality, patience and happiness. In sharing...
Eyes Wide Open
I traveled the last 3 weeks, and feel very lucky in what I have seen, who I met and what I have experienced. From traveling with a selfless and caring good friend (love you B- couldnt and wouldnt have been able to do it with out you) who I see as a brother, to drinking coffee on Sugar Loaf in Rio overseeing fog walk over the mountains and statue of Christ, to seeing the bullet hole and drug...
The Death Of Passion
As I roamed through South America the past few days- one thing was prevalent every where- public displays of affection. From the mid fifties couple making out in the middle of the sidewalk as they groped each other from the teenie boppers making out at the bus stop. S Americans know how to show their significant other how they feel- no matter where it is. This is something I agree with. We as a...
Buenos Aires- 6 Days in One Paragraph
From the wonderful people, unimaginable city infrastructure brushed with a heavy influence of Spanish and Euro touch, to the unimaginable amount of alcohol abuse that would make Amy Whine house proud, walking out of the club at 7 am and stumbling over to local parks with old and new friends to catch the sunrise, to sipping cafe espressos in cups that could fit in my nephews palm, nibbling on bland...

Cafe y Empanadas
After waking up in the after noon, voices ruffled and head ringing from the night before, me and my persian friend got ready for the day. We strolled through the city- admiring the european influenced infrastructure, story boarded gorgeous parks, public affection of couples that would put the French to shame, and cafes every third shop and empanades in literally every location.
Argentina is a...
Chubby
So after meeting two Argentines we befriended at the bar- we hopped in their car and headed some place. As the highly intoxicated chubby argentine got behind the wheel and told us to hop in- like the intelligent and logical people we are- we did.
We ended up in a huge wherehouse club party and jumped around for a few hours befriended two wonderful Argentine ladies- vicky and sofia (Ill come back...
Niggas In Buenos Aires. Ball So Hard MF Gotta Find...
After Dinner, Me and Borna walked down in the direction towards the Cemetary (where all the bars and clubs are) we kind of figured out through internet less GPS via his phone and broken spanglish that would embarrass a Spanglish Professor.
As we arrived in the area, as Borna gave me a tour- as if he had lived here- in a persian accent blended with spanish and English. We had a few Mojitos in...
BA Day 1
We headed out to the city and had lunch at a beautiful cafe on the Recoleta. Fresh Grapefruit and Vodka washed down our Margerita Pizza under the warm and pleasant sun. As we ate, a random old lady walked by and yelled “Soy Gay.” Confused by it, me and Borna both began laughing.
We walked around for about two hours roaming the Florida Street.
We got back to the apartment, slept...
Buenos Aires Chapter 1
As we sped past the airport, our driver began arguing with the cab driver next to us- keep in mind our cab driver was a 40 something year old, 250 lb argentinian with a Scorpien tattoo on his outer forearm. Goon.
We got to the apartment, greeted by a cute old man who was the owner.
If I get to his age, I want to be like him.
The apartment is small but beautiful. We are looking out to the...
The Journey
We began the flight from LAX to Lima, Peru. We took LAN airlines in which the check in was so easy and so fast. As my middle eastern friend Borna quickly passed through security, I was pleasantly stalled, fondled and got my bag checked twice through security since once was not enough. Vegan protein powder is a threat to national security.
We got on the plane and had a great flight, considering...
The Night Before
The last few weeks has been an interesting experience of my life. My work has been up and down. My relationship fell apart. I moved out of my apartment in downtown LA. I began changing and taking a step back in my life and realized there are certain rules I want to live by moving forward. They are as followed:
1. Passion. If you are not passionate about it, you dont do it. If you are not...
