night drive

one thing to know about me... if you want me to be instantaneously calmed&serene, get me anywhere near an ocean. best tranquilizer there is. and probably the most beautiful thing in the world to me.

i like to go sometimes and get off on the torrey pines state reserve exit and begin on a miraculous drive up the historic pacific coast highway, also known as highway 101. it's kind of my thing to do by myself or with company. i like to drive and admire how God plays with color and creation. i think the coast and the skyline combined make the most beautiful sight in the world. and i love how man can't ever properly recreate it. even for movies, they have to super impose and image of the ocean that was taken with a camera. :]

on the drive up to irvine i hadn't realized that we were driving by camp pendleton until i looked to my left for a quick second and saw nothing but pure black. i remembered that the ocean was there and it just set me at peace. i don't know what it is, but yeah... i love it.

call me beach bum, i guess. :] if it fits.

swing dancing last night at atomic is exactly what the doctor ordered to remedy a less than satisfactory week, & with lauren for company, it was more than i could have asked for. always great company, great conversation, toss in enough sass and sarcasm, and you've got a full proof great time.

i complain about driving a lot on the outside. but i never care. i love driving.
and i'd prefer it be me driving all the time... for other reasons than the fact
that i like it.

*sigh* i'm content.

happy factors:
- my dad
- atomic
- long drives
- the coast
- God's creations
- night time
- slumber parties
- Lauren
- falling asleep to John Mayer
