What's up with the New Things?

I think i answered this, but this is just what's on my mind right now. i guess it's because i'm just thinking about life and stuff and not only asking the questions, what am i doing with my life? or what's the meaning to my life? something esoteric and bigger than me kind of questions. i hope that by not only doing new things every day and more importantly record them, i can get a better understanding to find the path to answer these questions - which is only by opening up new possibilities. there's more to this answer, but i think i'll keep that to myself. if you wanna delve further into my philosophical madness (actually it's quite peaceful feeling) of the moment ,lemme know.


New thing #10: I went to a new restaurant for lunch. As usual, very random, because i was planning to go to Buckhorns for their roadhouse salad (yum!), but i turned a street that led to the parking lot of the Capitola Grille in Emeryville. Was still craving an Asian style salad because I was craving it last night, but other intuitions said to get the BBQ Southwest salad from the mex restaurant in my neighborhood. At any rate, the salad was pretty good, but it was pricey for a salad $11.99. But the cool thing was that Mark Curry from Hangin' with Mr. Cooper sat a couple of booths away. I was trying to make sure that it was him, cuz he kinda looked like Jay-Z. I know that they don't look ANYTHING alike, but that's why i had to look closely. He was with a female companion, so she was blocking my way of confirming his mug. So, I kept bobbing -and-weaving my head around her shoulders to catch a glimpse. I'm never too slick, so when he looked in my direction, i tried to play it off by quickly putting the fork in my mouth and look down. Unfortunately, I didn't have anything on my fork at the time, so I just ended up looking like a dork with a fork. At the very least, I got enough of a glance to see that it was indeed Mr. Cooper!

New thing #11: I'm at starbucks right now at Bay Street with my Green Tea Soy Latte (I know I should try something new instead of this, but I love it too much to try something different yet. later maybe.) with a slice of Red Velvet Cake. I know that i'm watching what i eat, but i couldn't pass up trying something with a decadent moniker as this! it's okay. the cream cheese frosting kicks ass though!
