This Aggression Will Not Stand, Man
At Sunset Cliffs today, a bit of swell showed up, though definitely a few notches below what we’d been expecting from TS Fabio. The lineup vibe was fun, about 10 people out, all thankful for an...
an argument in defense of female professional athletes
Samarria Brevard is now pro for enjoi , much to the chagrin of some cranky bros on the internet. I have to admit, I’ve noticed a considerable drop in hostility, and much more positivity and sup...
Shark Week
It’s shocking how little people seem to know about periods. We have the vast expanse of human knowledge available at our fingertips, and yet here we are, arguing over whether or not women can s...
We haven’t known each other long, but I continually find myself...
We haven’t known each other long, but I continually find myself drawn to her energy. She manifests all of the virtues I hold dear: creativity, empathy, and an unwavering love of the sea. I st...
Mourning in the Mission
Walking up 25th street, an old woman dressed in a black felt hat, black dress, and black sweater smiled at me as we approached the corner. “It’s hot out today!” I smiled back and sa...
Pieces of a Public Challenge
BACK TO THE IMPORTANT STUFF: I SET ABOUT THIS BLOG WITH THE INTENTION TO WRITE ABOUT PEOPLE I ADMIRE, SPECIFICALLY WOMEN WHO ARE DOING INCREDIBLE THINGS LIKE MAKING ART, SURFING, PLAYING MUSIC, A...
Day 13: Re-evaluations.
After writing for months and posting for just under two weeks, I’m questioning my practice and insistence on posting every day. While it’s quite an undertaking to write and put something out ...
Day 12: Belinda May
When I finally get around to putting together that synchronized swimming crew I’ve never talked about before right now, this song is going to be our main act. I put this on and daydream about b...
Day 12: Fun Things
Today I did a lot of things that made me happy, but the best one was getting on my skateboard and riding down 18th street to the Mission. It’s the perfect slope from my block down to Dolores Pa...
Day 11: Great Friday
Today is not just Good Friday, it’s Great Friday. The 6th Annual Great Friday, in fact. It’s a friend-focused holiday of sorts started in 2012 by my friends Liz and Ian and I, and we’ve mad...
Day 10: Oh, Evelyn
When I lived in Costa Rica, I taught one-on-one English lessons to a couple business owners in town. One of them was Philippe. He owned a restaurant and bar in town, and when his only waiter quit...
Day 9: Glass Beach
In February of 2016, my buddy Ian asked if I’d like to go to Fort Bragg. I didn’t know anything about the place, except they have a tourist attraction known as Glass Beach. Fort Bragg sits in...
Day 8: Marisa
I started riding a bike in Philly a few years ago, but was never big into the cycling scene. I haven’t invested in any of the gear and attitude that seems to be such an important part of appear...
Day 7: Jeffrey
I decided to go for a walk yesterday evening, with no particular destination in mind. While waiting for a light to change, I struck up a conversation with Jeffrey. One thing I like about living...
Day 6: Honesty
I want to write honestly here because so much of social media presence is manipulated to only show the best in someone’s life. Even when I’m living where I’ve wanted to be my entire life, I...
Day 5: Keep on keeping on
The doubt begins to creep in. I didn’t go to the beach today, the waves have been terrible all week, I didn’t go on a hike or a nice bike ride, and I’m debating whether or not to even leave...
Day 4: Dreary Days
The rain isn’t quite ready to give up here in the Bay Area, and I’m looking at a soggy weekend forecast once again. It was a long, (relatively) cold winter, and I find myself missing the East...
Day 3: Walk to Work Day SF
Today is Walk to Work Day, encouraging everyone in San Francisco to commit to traveling by foot for at least 15 minutes of their commutes. It took me about an hour to walk from my house to my off...
What to Do
I jumped on the 100 Day Project yesterday on a whim, with a sense of what I want to accomplish. It’s overwhelming, trying to get over the feeling that everything has to look a certain way, go t...
First, You Have to Start
For a long time I used the burrito blog as an excuse. “It still counts. I’m writing,” I’d tell myself. “Better to write something than nothing.” I wrote it because I like it, but most...
