Pretty good year, dudes. Went to Spain with my wife, which was the best. Did a lot of fun stuff, like surfing tons and playing my guitar. Got a new kitten that my other cat has grown to tolerate. Also, my President won the election (you're welcome). Pretty psyched about going home for the holidayz. The beginning of the year was kind of shitty- lost some beloved family members and hurt my knee pretty bad playing basketball. So, I suppose it started out Kitsch and is ending up Tatum.
1. Beverly Hills Cop. As a slight aside, I always reflect on how that movie inspired me to become a musician. Actually, it was Harold Faltermeyers "Axel F" theme song- on which, as a child, I thought the synthesizers sounded so cool.
2. Sheila E.
8. Yes please.
9. Officially, the WMOAT on The Butterfly Effect, but many more before we had required log-ins.
10. Protein smoothie, turkey sando, orange, vanilla yogurt, apple.
I got my haircut today at lunch because I'm going to my wife's office Christmas party tonight. Yes, I will be trapped on a boat floating around the harbor with dozens of lawyers for a couple hours, but really, the jokes will just write themselves. And hopefully they have eggnog. And I listened to the new Scott Walker album a bunch of times because I was the only one in the office and it was great.
I'm fine I suppose, but like Gabe said, it's kind of rainy & dreary. I went out to a nice dinner with my mom & wife last night and had a way-too-unhealthy fancy pizza. I have a new kitten at home that we rescued from the streetz and I keep having strange worries about the horrible things that could happen to her while I'm at work, even though I know I shouldn't. But I did get to enjoy the kitten sleeping on my lap while petting my older cat on the couch the other night. Living the dream.

4. Dear Chris Trash: sorry but I don't have any books to recommend (except maybe The Omnivore's Dilemma or Kitchen Confidential, but those aren't really workout-related), but I do have some anecdotal advice on vegetarianism. I was a vegetarian for about 15 years. It is very hard to not become fat, unless you are super careful. I got in a LOT better shape once I started eating animal protein, and my workout regimen was nearly identical. Take that as you will.
But really, Tuesday was a pretty rad day, and not only because I am a Dirty Bleeding Heart Godless Liberal.
Let's review: I helped a really nice guy who looks exactly like an older Seth Myers with his books. Then I watched Taj Burrow win a surf contest. He's a cool guy. Then I was productive at work. Then I went to get a surfboard fixed & the guy was blasting Duffy like he always does which is hilarious. Then I got a "Turkish Latte" and was inspired to buy cardamon for my spice pantry. Then I went & voted but did not get one of the cookies they were giving out. Bummer. Then I went home and made pasta. Then I watched election results & laughed at twitter. Then I drank whiskey. It was nice.
Well, my boss was gone most of the day and I got a ton of work done, AND looked at stuff on the internet., so: pretty, pretty good.
Also I have some new guitar pedals waiting for me when I get home, so pretty psyched on that.
This is not a entry into the caption contest. I just wanted to mention that you KNOW Brad Pitt has always wanted to have dreadlocks and thinks they are the coolest thing ever.
Gabe Delahaye, professional surfing enthusiast? Hey Gabe, what are your thoughts about Dane Reynolds quitting the world tour? What about the cancellation of the Jeffery's Bay event? How does Kelly Slater feel about TV Recaps?
