cruising down near-empty streets and highways at night with either the sound of the road or a nice song in the air - catching up with friends - tasty food including the carne asada tacos in santa ana (para chuparse los dedos), musha, maison akira, sam woo's (on valley), lola's - shooting hoops and shooting the breeze - avoiding the crunching sound of snails underfoot - challenging myself with culinary or home improvement projects - exploring the intricacies of wine, especially napa valley cabernet sauvignon (it all started with that bottle of 2001 provenance)
I'd like to meet:

Your Theme Song is Beautiful Day by U2
"Sky falls, you feel like
It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away"
You see the beauty in life, especially in ordinary everyday moments.
And if you're feeling down, even that seems a little beautiful too.
What's Your Theme Song?
