epic teen angst.

As I was channel surfing...Sixteen Candles happened to be on TBS. Classic John Hughes film that I absolutely adore. I couldn't help, but stop and watch with commercial breaks and all. Contemporary retro take on a happy-feel good ending romance. It's strange how quotes like "Donger's here for five hours, and he's got somebody. I live here my whole life, and I'm like a disease" and "She's got her period. Should be an interesting honeymoon" can be so relate-able. Who doesn't have that one boy or girl they have a crush on in fear of rejection if they confess their feelings? Overall, I think its a pretty damn hilarious movie. The Geek is triumphant in spite of teenage awkward social skills. Reminds me alot like myself. My favorite moment is when Jake and Sam celebrate her forgotten birthday! Makes me swoon for a boy who can be thoughtful to a girl he adores.  

session beer.

I am rarely in the mood these days for a boozy or remotely heavy beer.  I'd rather be able to have a "session" without feeling loaded or tired. Furthermore, there is something very special and sophisticated about a well made session beer, which is not an easy task for a brewer! I'm on a mini-mission to expose to people the beauty of a low abv, drinkable ale or lager. Bigger is not always better.

bayou art fest.

had a lovely time with my favorite peeps at the bayou art fest this past weekend. it was a definite mind fuck to see all these different interpretations of what people find humorous, beautiful and fascinating. whether it was on canvas, organic, a sculpture, or a photograph...it was amazing! i was lucky enough to be invited by Yelp Elite to attend the VIP tent and lunch with the Mayor of Houston. free booze and food sure adds depth into looking and appreciating art. i highly recommend looking at art while inebriated with people who have a sense of humor especially those who don't have the same mind frame as you.

sincerest form of flattery.

be suspicious of flattery. the desire to be liked and appreciated makes people vulnerable to flattery. how charming. how utterly winning that someone you hardly know has lavished you with compliments or humbly confessed complete admiration. watch out. you're wonderful, but not that wonderful.

beer gear.

with the season to give coming up...why not give that special companion of yours a beer holster? a practical gift.
