Missing my Madre, worrying about my Step-Dad and my Little Brother, winter, late runs with Toph, brushing my teeth, concerts in the car, ellipses, giant robots, Rip Hamilton's face mask, Manute Bol, Mark Cuban's wherewithal, the fine line between sanity and lack of the same, self-doubt, sleeping in, THE Dallas Cowboys, The Triplets, Honesty, writing, Irreverence, Conviction, conversation, music, film, tattoos, the Wrongful Life and Wrongful Birth causes of action and why they go largely unrecognized in our courts, the thought of new running shoes, couch time with the Toph and the Bun, avoiding shark attacks, stuff that glows in the dark, coffee mugs, big drippy anime eyes
