Something New: Week 13 – Birthday Under A Southern Cross
by Ranil on May.07, 2009, under Nostalgia, Points Of Importance, Something New
Being unemployed is the pits. Being unemployed and sick is even worse. Don’t get me wrong I don’t mind sitting around doing nothing – outside of applying for jobs and reading an inordinate amount of news – but one eventually misses the routine provided by work. In all the chaos of finding a job and getting set up down under its easy to overlook ones birthday. But this year unlike most years I will be spending my birthday in a place I haven’t had a birthday in for almost 18 years.
Life underneath a southern cross (aka The Road Less Travelled Tour)
by Ranil on Apr.18, 2009, under Life List, Points Of Importance, Tours
The things I’ve seen and the things I’ve done I wouldn’t change for the world. I’ve seen beauty and sadness. I’ve jumped from waterfall and swam in blue ocean waters surrounded by white sand. I’ve met strangers who became family and strengthened ties with far away relatives. But my heart still belongs to LA and the faces that I left behind.
Vacation Time In Borocay

I flew on a prop plane a few days ago to an island in the Pacific Ocean. I watched sailboats sail into the sunset. I swam in clear blue waters and played in white sand. I snorkeled amongst coral reefs and para sailed over it all.
New Years Eve 2008

New Years Eve 2008 found me in Redondo Beach celebrating it with dinner, drinks, and lots of beach fun. We celebrated the end to a very strange year for me and toasted to a brighter year filled with adventure and the unknown.
How do you measure a year?

A thousand cups of coffee later and the year draws to a close yet again. As the cold settles in over California I sit outside and brave the weather in search of cigarettes and inspiration. With 2008 ending and 2009 only a few hours away I sit and write this retrospective. What did I do yesterday?
