Dead Dogs and Earthshakes
May 18th, 2009 by Danny
It’s been an interesting pair of days. My equilibrium has been jostled by last night’s little diddy of a quake. Something about those initial first milliseconds of movement throws me off pretty hard. It’s an inner-ear thing. That always reminds of the surgery I underwent as a child to save my hearing. Thinking about that time has always been really hard for me because it was such a scary experience to be a child and notice your hearing disappear. Recently however, thoughts of my ears have brought up worse memories. A small revelation was made to me not that long ago by my mom about why my ears did what they did. I almost wished I hadn’t been told. Without saying too much, it wasn’t something that just happened, but more a result of something that was done to me. Last night’s little shake, and the effect it had on my equilibrium became a pretty fucked reminder. As a result there’s a shit load of feelings associated with it now. On top of the headaches, and the slight nausea, there’s a great deal of anger that’s sitting like a knot in my stomach.
On a lighter note, I’ve been tracking the decomposition of a poor dog on the side of the 710 that I saw about a month ago freshly killed. This morning it has officially lost it’s doggy identity. As horrible as seeing this K9 thrown off and disregarded has been, seeing how long it takes until it no longer looks like a dog has been awkwardly fascinating.
That’s all for now. Stay safe, pack some water, keep your shoes by the door.
Bike to Work Day

["Podium Bike to Work Day."]
Last Thursday was Bike to Work Day, so I did just that. Ok well I cheated a little. I rode to my friend’s place and left my car there. From there it was a solid 18 miles to work. It has been quite some time since I ride that distance (40 miles by the time the day was done). But why not? I was down for sure. The trip out there was beautiful. Riding along the beach in the morning is a beautiful thing that I highly recommend to everybody. Nothing like it.
The ride had it’s rough spots. Some pretty steep hills and assholes cutting you off on the street once you leave the path weren’t too cool, but that aside it was amazing.

Mother’s Day

["Me, mom, and little brother."]
Today was a very nice day. I got to spend it with my favorite lady in all the world. Mom. She wanted to go to the beach so we packed up and head down to Zuma to walk on the beach. It’s been a long time since I spend some quality time with my mom, especially since I moved out. She was all smiles all day.

["The setup."]
We head out to Hermosa Beach today for a day of fun, sun, and relaxation. It was a time for team building, moral boosting, and of course, beer.
