trying to take my mind off this funky mood i'm in so i'll share some photos.  they're from last weekend when i went walking around the neighborhood with my brother and poa-poa.

hydrant and hibiscus

i really liked the crusty looking paint on the hydrant.  it was the only one around the neighborhood that wasn't painted silver, and the hibiscus caught my eye because of its pink, ruffly petals.

daisies

these daisies were so vibrant and reminded me of little sunflowers.  actually, i think the two might be related.  besides my orchids and desert rose, i also love daisies and one day i'll try to grow them, again.  i didn't have much luck the last time i picked up a gerbera plant--it died after a couple of weeks.

poa-poa and red beer bottle

poor poa-poa was exhausted from the walk.  it was a typical hot day and she was panting so hard i thought her little body was going to give out.  well, as we made our way back to the apartment, she collapsed on the grass and refused to move.  after a few minutes we started walking and then i noticed a red budweiser bottle on the ground.  i hate litter but i thought the bottle was funny because a cold beer would have been so refreshing at the time.

networker

and on the way back through the pedestrian gate, i saw this bizarre looking spider web.  it wasn't the typical spiral web pattern i was used to seeing, it was like window screening instead.

there's a lot of interesting things to see in my neighborhood...

i'd see it again.  probably will since the jerk behind me kept talking and kicking my seat last night.  i never felt like slapping someone as bad as i wanted to smack this guy.  probably because i asked him to stop twice?  anyway, despite the distractions, the movie ROCKED.  i thought it was as good as the first "die hard" movie which, in my opinion, was the best.

Audio: Share the song that will get you dancing...every time!

i know it's overplayed so here's a video that will help you understand why i love "temperature" by sean paul.  that song gets me dancing EVERY time.

btw, this video is hilarious.  not only am i dancing, but laughing at the same time.

i don't know what i would do without it.  i usually sprinkle cinnamon on fruit, yogurt, cereal and ice cream, and sometimes i'll use it when i'm brewing coffee.  but today when i made my mid-morning snack of toast with peanut butter, on a whim, i decided to sprinkle some cinnamon on top.  i'm not sure if anyone has tried this but it is SO GOOD.  do give it a try.  if you like spicy foods and can't see yourself putting peppers on everything, go for the cinnamon instead.

and some photos for inspiration...

to the couple driving down the wrong side of the road this afternoon: sidewalks were made for pedestrians, not your car.

driving on the sidewalk AND on the wrong side of the road?

un-believable.

Show us a minor indulgence.

What do you absolutely refuse to eat?

not that it's an option, i can't think of anything other than people.  now if my life depended on it, i'd have to reconsider.
