I know Long Beach has been on #Boardwalkhenge content overload, but I decided to go out there again for night #3. So here's one last Boardwalkhenge shot!! Thanks to @jaybelsky 's epic shot from Tuesday’s sunset, the boardwalk was full of mesmerized spectators. 🤩 And a big shoutout to mother nature for another amazing show!

Don’t let this calm set of sunset photos deceive

Don’t let this calm set of sunset photos deceive you. Before I took these shots, I walked down to the water and took off my flip flops by a giant gathering of geese, ducks, and a swan. I would assume they thought my sandals were loaves of bread because the gaggle of water birds then began to chase after me aggressively and tried to eat my sandals. The Jurassic Park theme song played quietly in my head. I have zero photo or video evidence of this event because I was busy running for my life. It took about 10 minutes for the birds to waddle back to the water and I was able to retrieve my flip flops. There really is no moral of the story other than STOP FEEDING THE MF-ING DUCKS BREAD because they literally forget how to duck, they get spoiled, and it’s not even good for them. 🦆🦆 Quack.

It’s impossible to forget 9-11-01. Somewhat conv

It’s impossible to forget 9-11-01.
Somewhat conveniently timed, I recently found this memorial drawing I made in high school (probably from 2001) while going through some old notebooks. I wasn’t going to post this today, but I felt like it could make up for the words I’ve always struggled to find every year. It’s not really about the art; it’s about the feeling. The emotions that will live in me forever. The infinite love and sadness I feel for anyone directly affected by the tragedy. The confusion over how an event like this could have taken place in real life. On September 11th 2001 I discovered the harsh truth about the magnitude of hate that existed in the world we live in. I also learned a new meaning of the words unity and compassion.

On September 11th 2001 I didn’t really understand left vs. right or blue vs. red. I was honestly just trying to understand the value of X and the concept of polynomial functions. Everything shifted that day and suddenly it was no longer about me. It was about US. I always thought; maybe if I actually tried harder to figure out these math equations I could somehow successfully travel through time and erase the events of 9-11....but nah. Nothing can erase that day.

Here we are, 19 years later, in the middle of a pandemic in 2020. Tragedy and panic (in a different form) has occupied our world once again, and we are more divided than ever.

The given equation: Humanity + x = peace ✌🏻
So what is the value of x? I used to think it was love or kindness, but I think the answer is understanding. Understanding that we are not all the same, yet we can coexist despite our differences in lifestyle and opinion. I hate that we need 9-11 to remind us of the importance of unity, but here it is once again, and we’ll #neverforget .🗽
