There has been a song lately that has resonated with me. The song? Switchfoot’s song from their CD Vise Verses – Thrive.
Been fighting things that I can’t see
Like voices coming from the inside of me and
Like doing things I find hard to believe in
Am I myself or am I dreaming?
I’ve been awake for an hour or so
Checking for a pulse but I just don’t know
Am I a man when I feel like a ghost?
The stranger in the mirror is wearing my clothes
No, I’m not alright
I know that I’m not right
A steering wheel don’t mean you can drive
A warm body don’t mean I’m alive
No, I’m not alright
I know that I’m not right
Feels like I travel but I never arrive
I wanna thrive not just survive
I come alive when I hear you singing
But lately I haven’t been hearing a thing and
I get the feeling that I’m in between
A machine and a man who only looks like me
I try and hide it and not let it show
But deep down inside me I just don’t know
Am I a man when I feel like a hoax?
The stranger in the mirror is wearing my clothes
No, I’m not alright
I know that I’m not right
A steering wheel don’t mean you can drive
A warm body don’t mean I’m alive
No, I’m not alright
I know that I’m not right
Feels like I travel but I never arrive
I wanna thrive not just survive
I’m always close, but I’m never enough
I’m always in line, but I’m never in love
I get so down, but I won’t give up
I get so down, but I won’t give up
I get so down, but I won’t give up
Been fighting things that I can’t see
Like voices coming from the inside of me and
Like doing things I find hard to believe in
Am I myself or am I dreaming?
Am I myself or am I dreaming?
Am I myself or am I dreaming?
Thrive, thrive, thrive, thrive
No, I’m not alright
I know that I’m not right
A steering wheel don’t mean you can drive
A warm body don’t mean I’m alive
No, I’m not alright
I know that I’m not right
Feel like I travel but I never arrive
I wanna thrive not just survive
I wanna thrive not just survive
Yeah yeah
Feel like I travel but I never arrive
I wanna thrive not just survive
I wanna thrive not just survive
I wanna thrive not just survive
Feels like I travel but I never arrive
I wanna thrive not just survive

So as I said, it’s a good song. If you want to – I’ve added the song via youtube on here. It was a rather addicting song for me.
The last week or so has been weird to spend without Maryia. With most of it consumed watching the news after the Boston Marathon Bombing. I must say that the Yankees showed so much class and support.

The whole week has been wall to wall with news about Boston being in a lock-down state and then just yesterday they ended up catching one of the suspects from that whole ordeal. Craziness.
So last weekend my parents wanted to go for a drive and we ended up going over near Oxnard, CA. While in the area we decided to go to the spot where back to the future 3 had the car crash scene with the train. Don’t know what I am talking about?

That should refresh your memory.
Anyway, I am a big fan of all the BTTF movies. There are various sites set up throughout the internet that has each location that they filmed at. They pretty much did it all over California. This part however was in Port Hueneme. Can you make out that its the same place?
If you have a hard time seeing it, the next one should be easier.
Now can you see it? Yeah. I thought it was the best thing since sliced bread. Especially since this is pretty much a legendary movie.
This location is no less than a short walk from the beach. So afterwards we made a quick pit stop before heading back to LA.
Overcast or not, gotta love the beach.
Fast forward a few days… and I received a call for an interview. That was somewhat of a problem for me as I haven’t gotten a haircut since the wedding, and haven’t shaved in months. I had to shave 🙁 but I found a way to get around a haircut.
See below for a before/after photo. That’s right, I rocked it at the interview too.
I reminded myself of something like Pat Riley (former NBA coach), so it won’t be going that way for now on- but until I land an actual job that is the style I’ll have.
Had the interview on Wednesday and they said I should know in a week or so if they are moving forward with me.
I haven’t heard anything yet, so – time will tell.
I’ve started to try new perspectives of things I do or see everyday.. and today I grabbed my phone and snapped this shot.
I like how it turned out.
Anyway I suppose that is all I have for this time. That was a lot of photos for me to post – so I hope you enjoyed it.
until next time,
just Pray
