There's just something about Seattle boys..

Wanna take a ride with me, wanna get high with me..

Awww Yea. Venice Beach. Someday Salt and Najea will be famous Hip Hop artists - remember where you saw them first... Stacey and i even got autographed copies of their albums! heh heh

Today i gave platelets again for what seems like the 50th time. (could be, actually) I found out that I'm once again a directed donor. Some cancer or lukemia patient who knows where is a perfect match with my blood. It's amazing how that made me feel. This person would not survive without numerous transfusions from a specific blood type and subtype. i don't even know how it all works. I just know that with 2 pricks of a needle and a couple hours time, i've saved someone's life. Plus i get to watch a movie and eat cookies afterwards. heh.

Such a great trip! I'm still in pain from landing on my head repeatedly while snowboarding. We played tennis on nintendo Wii all night while drinking and playing poker. Ahh to be young. and of course it snowed on our way OUT of town.

Old Yeller!

I haven't seen this movie in 20 years. ahh hell. such a great film. reminds me of when i was a kid and i used to ride Dixie around the backyard.

Mini Road Trip

Stacey and I took a drive up PCH yesterday (thanks MLK) and ended up in Santa Barbara. We took a little tour of La Conchita along the way. Pretty sad, the homes are still buried, with crosses marking the spots where there may or may not be bodies. There is a simple chain link fence around the mountain of debris. It kinda made us sick to think about it...

We had lunch on the wharf in Santa Barbara, then drove back down PCH and climbed this mountain of sand just before sunset. sooo, THIS is why i live here! I've been trying to figure that out for quite some time. The beaches, the mountains, the gorgeous deserts. heh.

Kubrick

I spent the whole day watching Kubrick films. The Shining, A Clockwork Orange, Full Metal Jacket




Stanley, You are the man. RIP

Mali-Bu!

Who'd have thought that Malibu had so much to offer?! Stacey, Kevin and I went on a five mile hike yesterday... whew. We decided that next time we'd find a way to arrange for some cold beers at the top and then build our own zipline back to Kevin's roof.

Mi Familia

Mom, me, brother, & sister in-law. I love the holidays. whah. whah. whaaah

It's a new year!

Playa Del Rey @ sunset

new year's eve. it was fun, but also a lot like any other night. nothing special. maybe i shouldn't have such high expectations! we drank, we danced, we cheered at midnight. i talked for 2 hours with a guy whom i'm pretty sure is gay. then we went to del taco and ate crap. i'll admit that i'm glad it's a new year. 2006 was a rough one for me, but i think all of those changes were for the best. forward HO!

A couple of nights before new year's was by far the better night. It's great when the unexpected suddenly lands in your lap. you're not even looking and it just sneaks up and sparks an 80's dance battle. I had the best time on Friday! really hope to hang out with him again, cuz all i can imagine is an even better time in round two. It's funny, but at the beginning of the night I would never have imagined it ending the way it did. But as i look back, no other ending would have suited us better. He's really funny, with a personality to match, but also a deeper side to him - very intriguing. (something about Madagascar) oh, and he's kind of gorgeous...

breaking up

over and over again the doors are locked and the windows are broken.

someday, someone out there will be different.

Death

Today i realized that i'm not ready to die. death is for suckers. and shit, if i'm gonna die, it's gonna be a fantastic death. not some car crash or disease. it will be Spectacular. maybe eaten alive by a lion in the Sahara.. or i'll lose control of my single engine plane over some small villiage in Paraguay. It's not that i'm inviting death home for dinner, but i'm definitely not afraid to check it out from across the bar....

Mark's B-day

ME!

So, August was a big month for me. I turned my life completely upside down. Got a new job, moved to a new city and am now newly single. i'm scared as hell, but also extremely excited. I said goodbye to a lot of things and people... and hopefully i'm opening doors to a lot of new experiences. so far so good, eh? Playa Del Rey rocks, Pictage is pretty sweet, and aw hell - Becky's on the prowl! I'll try to be good :)

Henry & Nikki's wedding!!

I was a groomsman (maid) in Henry and Nikki's wedding. So much fun pretending to be one of the guys. Luckily i got to wear a dress, so at least i looked like a girl!

CABO!!!

Pretty much the most self-destructive 5 days of my life... but oh sooooo worth it.
