Chillin on the Pacific

Angel's buddy Bill invited us out on his brother's boat yesterday. It was completely relaxing and exhilarating at the same time. Thanks guys! I had a FanTAStic time :)

North

Driftwood? anyone??

henry & surfer girl. no, that's not me.

Rincon Beach

Nobody was around.. we think it was a social experiment.

Santa Barbara - we give it 3 thumbs up!

Finally found North ;)

little seal, do not feed

coolest pier ever!

Stallions, yea, we smoke 'em.

So... i felt the need to get out of LA this past weekend... and Henry, being the awesome pal that he is, volunteered to go on an adventure! We decided to drive North. Yea, no idea where we'd end up, we just started going north. Found some cool beaches along the way and eventually ended up in Santa Barbara, which was absolutely gorgeous. On a side note, candy cigarettes can eat up hours of your time. When Henry and I get together we always have a blast, so Saturday was no exception. It could not have been a better day. Thanks buddy!!

Bear

Hi Bear... mmmmmmmmmwaahh.

The Vegetarian Question

Why? I like the taste of meat, the smell, the full feeling. I don't think that it's wrong to eat animals - given that they were able to live a full and happy life. That's all i would ask you to grant any human, so why not give that same courtesy to a harmless animal? I don't agree with caging up any animal, forcing it to live in cramped quarters, feeding it sub-par grains rather than natural foods, etc.. My heart hurts when i drive past farms with sick cows staggering around helplessly. I just want to save them from their existence. They deserve to roam free. So do pigs, so do chickens, so do fish.

If one is out in the wilderness, lost and beginning to starve, i see no fault in killing and eating an animal. It is then a necessary action, a survival thing! (in addition to the fact that this animal probably lived a sweet life:)

It has taken me a few years to finally give up eating meat. It takes a lot of willpower and self control, but after a while you don't even miss it. Other foods just seem more appealing now to me. I have gone from being a plain meat and bread kind of girl to a try anything (except meat) vegetable lover. I feel better about my choices. This day will be my last day eating fish. Many of you know that this is what i love the most, so it will be difficult for me. But I can't be a half-assed 'pescetarian' anymore. It's official folks, Becky's done with meat forever.

Fort McArthur Days

Zee German
What a sweet location for a base..

Maybe Angel can try out next year
man down!

DUDE!! The guy at the WWII store in Torrance was right! Angel and I went down to San Pedro on Sunday for Fort McArthur days, where we experienced every war we could think of. There were battlefield re-enactments, cannons, guys dressed as Romans, Frontiersmen, Spaniards, you name it. We had a blast :) It happens every year the weekend after the 4th. I recommend it with two thumbs up and a big smile!

:)

the 4th

Dad took me to see the Rose Bowl show this year for the 4th of July, which pretty much rocked. Super hot, super crowded, but they put on a pretty awesome show. I also *finally* got to meet the gal he's been spending time with. Lorelie was a sweetheart! It's nice to see dad happy and i'm glad he's found someone who's worth it :)
