The point is we’re waiting, not how comfortable we are while waiting. Paleolithic man waited by caves for the realization of why he was there, and hunted; modern men wait in beautified homes and try to forget death and birth. We’re waiting for the realization that this is the golden eternity.
16, The Scripture of the Golden Eternity by Jack Kerouac

Men of a certain vintage ought moisturize. I recommend visiting Koreatown Galleria in Los Angeles and consulting with the brilliant ladies of Palace Beauty Galleria. But at the very least do the following:
After you wash and rinse your face with cool/cold water:
All of this skin care is non-sense if you are not eating proper proteins and particularly, collagen. The retinol, niacinamide and moisturizers cannot revive flesh thats lost its natural elasticity.
I recommend buying collagen by the six-pack and sharing it with those you love. Collagen is a helpful add on to coffee or tea, and this type of protein helps with skin and joints. I recommend Great Lakes Collagen, buying bulk because it comes down to 18.75 per canister, which is a great discount.

Black Sabbath’s War Pigs at Karaoke is the best thing ever!
I learned a new anti war song called Enola Gay by Orchestral Maneouvers in the Dark.
This may have a very deep cut for karaoke.
I’m resisting the urge to post to Facebook and Twitter. So I’m blogging.
My brother is in a web development bootcamp and its inspired me to read about CSS. My weakness is front end web development. Database and backend is my preference but the most prominent part of an app is its UI. My primary focus on design, usability and accessibility driven by data means I spend hours in databases, and squinting at mocks but not coding the front end.
That has to change.
Found a nice CSS reference. I will code something fun.
The Byzantine Empire had a thousand year history that requires proper attention to understand Orthodox and Catholic Christianity, the Crusades and Islam.
In the spring of 2003, I took my last undergraduate history course, an elective on the history of the Byzantine Empire, taught by Maria Mavroudi. The class was excellent, and against the backdrop of the occupation of Iraq that occured in March of that year, a lesson in the rhyming patterns of history.
Professor Mavroudi was awarded a MacArthur grant in 2004 to further her study of the two-way exchange that occurred between the Byzantine and Islamic cultures.
The book we used in the class was The History of the Byzantine State by George Ostrogorsky. Worth a read.
For the last eight years I’ve been going to Judd parties, part French salon, part Burning Man, uniquely Los Angeles. Within the last few years, as his business interests moved into the legal cannibas domain, he’s began holding industry events at his home. The new focus has upped the surreal entertainment, lighting and costumes.
Had brunch with a couple couples. Afterward I walked around the Arts District and Little Tokyo. It was slightly rainy so I just used my camera phone.
