Fisherman's Wharf, In-n-Out, Inception, San Francisco, Supper Club

Another day, another dollar.

Don’t ask me why I just said that, but it was the first clever one-liner I could think of opening this post with.

Sitting at my crashpad in New York, I just realized I was recently inspired & didn’t take advantage of it. I just finished up a two-day trip from here to San Francisco and back. Many people give me weird looks when I’ve said it was my first visit to California, but it’s true. Needless to say, I was not disappointed.

First off, the weather was AMAZING, even in the chill of night. The crew and I ended up at the hotel around 11:30pm, but I secretly had other plans. My friend Bobby formally from Chicago ended up picking me up with his brother Jesse for a “quick drink.” A visit to The Parlor, The Supper Club (two thumbs up!) and one of their buddies’ house, I ended up laying my head back in the hotel around 5:30am (8:30am eastern time). I was beat, but didn’t let that deter me from exploring in the city the next day.

I got up around noon, took a refreshing shower & headed out to get lost. I decided to tackle Fisherman’s Wharf and its surroundings during this visit. Although I hate seafood, it was an experience like no other. I’ve shared some visual highlights of my trip below. To make a long story very short, San Francisco is definitely one of the most beautiful cities I’ve ever visited. The people were all very friendly, the food was good & the architecture all around the city had me completely in awe. The buildings reminded me of the one scene in “Inception” where the city folds up on itself. I walked around expecting the same thing to happen as well.

Speaking of “Inception,” I don’t know if you can call it inspiration or not, but it’s been a while since I’ve had a dream like I had last night. It was definitely vivid and realistic unfortunately. Normally I would say this was a dream I did not want to wake up from because it was all going so perfect. However, once I realized it wasn’t real and I awoke in my bunk, it was a bit disappointing to say the least. I won’t go into too much detail about it, but I’ll leave you with a quote from my favorite movie that felt very appropriate as soon as I woke up:

Ariadne: Why is it so important to dream?
Cobb: Because, in my dreams we are together.

At any rate, I hope to be inspired once again within the next few days. My 10-day vacation is coming up next week & I’m hoping to do a LOT while I’m back home. I may just try to rent a car so I don’t have to depend on others to drive me around. I also hope to spend a lot of time with friends & family as always. For my Orlando people reading this, you should all have my phone number so let me know when I’m penciled into your schedules. In the mean time, I won’t lose sleep over any it. I’ll make plans one way or another.

Stay tuned…
