Some places I want to see someday.

As the year come to an end, I ponder about what I have done.  Well making my house a home was definitely one of my major accomplishment.  But since I was so busy with my house and work, I did not get a chance to travel abroad at all.  There was a time when I would travel abroad every 2 years.  It has been 5 years now since I was last abroad.  So for my new year resolution, I would like to travel again in the coming year or next.  Australia, Africa, India and Egypt are a few in my places to see.

Happy Christmas 2014

Ghetto neighbor

This is the front door of one of my neighbor.  As you can see, they used an area rug to cover the hole on the door.  Evidently, the glass portion of the door was shattered and they had not had the chance to get it fix or change the door.  Well the thing is, this situation has been going on for a year now.  It was like that since I move to the neighborhood over a year ago.  Too poor to get it fix?  Perhaps, but I do not think so.  It would probably cost several hundreds at the most to get this fix but they choose not to do it.  Instead they used their money to throw loud backyard party at night almost every other month.  They have 3 teenage boys and they often have those loud unruly parties on weekends.  Rap and hip hop music blaring pass midnight with underage drinking on the streets.  There would always be a lot of empty beer cans or bottles littered on our street the next morning after their parties.  So if they have the funds to finance parties that often, why can't they fix their door?  I say their priorities are in the wrong place.  A perfect example of ghetto behavior.

Candy Cane lane of Santa Clarita

We recently went to check out the Holiday Lights on the houses at Santa Clarita.  It's called "candy cane lane".  There were a lot of people checking out the lights so we were not able to park the car and walk around.  We just drove slowly around the street.  Here are some pictures.

Not so tacky.

Here are some Holiday lights that are simply and not so tacky at all.

 

Tacky Holiday lights.

I like this season for the Holiday lights that most houses put up.  I myself put up a good amount of lights on my front yard.  But when it comes to Holiday lights, I find blow up characters tacky.  You be the judge.

Who are cuter? Cowboys or soldiers?
