i like to think i know what's best for everyone and to tell them so, but i do it out of love! i recently moved back to san antonio from living in los angeles (for 5 years) and have resumed my love affairs with good flour tortillas and lone star beer. i want to be my own boss someday soon. i like to tout the benefits of living in san antonio vs. austin, but only to assuage my own jealousies and doubts.Thriftstores, Painting, Drawing, Finding photographs, Listening to people's conversations, Drinking tall boys, People watching
