Weekend E.A.T. – Ambitionz as a San Franciscan

2014-06-06 08.57.27 copy

In the crossfires of every-day life, we tend to be conditioned to think, re-think, and over-think. Especially in a place like San Francisco, too often we are looking for the next big thing, which can mean anything from the next match on a dating app to the hottest new restaurant.

I’m guilty of having all of the aforementioned thoughts and wanted to spend this weekend removing myself from that mentality and instead experience life in its breakdown of moments. In the span of a weekend, I wrapped these moments around amazing people from New York to Austin. Only in San Francisco can we watch an amateur wrestling match in Oakland one night, brainstorm a rap-themed t-shirt company the next, and walk around for 4 hours aimlessly yet with such clarity and purpose the next. This how we ride through the city and it make it all happen.

They can’t do nothing to a G.

    That salmon at Campton Place looks amazing! And I love what you shared about over-analyzing and looking for “the next thing right now.” So important to appreciate and take life as it comes – just like you said, moment by moment.

      It definitely is an interesting experience, but fun as long as you realize that at some point, you have to step back and just let things happen. The costumes are entertaining too!

    I could live on all the carbs alone at Bar Tartine. Seriously, a slab of any of their breads, plus those fabulous smoked potatoes, and I’m in total heaven.

    Hi admin, i found this post on 14 spot in google’s search results.
    I’m sure that your low rankings are caused by hi bounce rate.
    This is very important ranking factor. One of the biggest reason for
    high bounce rate is due to visitors hitting the back button. The higher your bounce rate the
    further down the search results your posts and pages will
    end up, so having reasonably low bounce rate is important for increasing your
    rankings naturally. There is very useful wp plugin which can help
    you. Just search in google for:
    Seyiny’s Bounce Plugin
