So here I am.  I have been back in my hometown of San Francisco for a full year since living in Shanghai and traveling across South-East Asia.  I never thought I would really have a reason to write a blog about life here, because everyone is already doing it and what do I really have to add anyway other than the same banter about hating our transportation system and joking about Ganja treat man at Dolores Park (DP for short – not “dolo”, come on folks.  But whatever, really)?

Then I thought “well that’s pretty silly!” (is the theme already apparent?)  And I decided that I have a bunch to add and everyone is different and we are all special and la-di-da but in a very intentional way. Feel me? Tu me sens?

Cool. Très cool.

So I hope we are all getting started on the right foot, and maybe I can enlighten you (and honestly myself) as to what will happen in these frequent musing that will pop up on this page and hopefully your inboxes (no spam! I swear!).

If you like travel, the outdoors, fun times, style, stories and arguably most importantly, San Francisco, then this is the spot for you. Is this what a lifestyle blog is?  I got myself into this one. I know.

This blog will very much be a reflection of my personality: not usually focusing on one thing because I like so many things and want to know about everything, almost always embarrassing myself (if only you could see my big red cheeks right now), not really taking myself too seriously, loving hyphens too much, probably a good amount of surf talk even though I’m not very good at it, and being silly.  Oh, and SF pride (a.k.a. $F).

So let’s just start out there, shall we? I must say right here right now, I am always open to suggestion – if there is something you want me to write about, let’s talk about it! Want to collaborate? Even though I’m not sure what I have to offer but I’m so down to offer? Awesome, let’s do it. Want to write something for the blog? FANTASTIC.  I also may contradict myself, saying that I hate this city, when I actually love it.  But I’m sorry. MUNI. Seriously. The. Worst.

On that note, now for something completely different.
