so, not to make this short guys, but i'm in the middle of packing to go home and its getting really late but i know if I dont update now, i wont do it for another month so here goes. Not to mention the power went off in half of the suite and my suitemate flicked all of the circuits in the breaker box, completely obliterating the entire post i had here before and almost wiping out my computer for good (nothing a lil safe mode and some gentle coaxes wouldn't fix), so here i am for the second time.
OAKgrove was wonderful. I had a great time as I made new friends, found new risks to take (went to a new panel) and forged some already dwindling friendly relationships. I came back from this oakgrove with a good sence of being and I am proud of council and Naomi for pulling it off wonderfully. I want to thank all of you who not only watched the skit I partook in, but also did something about it and came back and posted your hearts out and commented on others. I swear i had the happiest lil' feeling seeing all those comments on errybody's journal saying add me, add me. Good times guys and gals. Much cowbell was needed in this oakgrove but that is a story for another day.
In other news, Fall 2004 semester of college is over and done with. I am proud to say that i am not at all scared like i usually am at this time of year regretting my activities of the semester past, but this time i am looking forward to January 3rd when i can see my grades. I think i did a spanking good job. In the nature of girlie boo, i was going to describe the methods used to "kill/batter/rape/sexually assault" my finals, but i figure i can save that for another time. I will say that i most definately wrote the nastienest of memorandums to head of fiscal management demanding that he put me in for the Fortune 500 top 10 startups of 2004, but only after i wreaked havok on the science final like humans have been devastating the earth for as long as they have been in existance, and then, only then will i be able to tell everyone my triumph of becoming mayor of i>watashi no yume no machi ni wa baa ya, atarashii no suupa ya, hadaka na umi ya, garufurendo no uchi ga arimasu.</i> I love finals.
and now it is time to say goodbye to the CSUMB network for one month's time in order to see a better place, a place where i can see the past and look forward tot he future. I'm coming home guys, lets hang out??

See the thing is, i haven't had a camera of my own since july of 1998. It was then that I embarked on a month long journey to Australia. Among the gifts and things that i recieved from various family members and family friends was a $160 shiny yellow APS (advanced photo system) underwater camera. Oh boy oh boy, i WAS the coolest kid on the block back then. That camera was soooooo fresh. It was APS so i could take pics in either the normal 4" x 5" size or a larger 5" x 5½" or an astounding panoramic 12" x 3" size. For 1998 this camera was waaay cool, and I used it and abused it on that trip and had a great time. After that one went out of commision sometime in 2000 i was forced to rely either on instant cameras or using my granda's 35mm camera. This meant that while my friends all had cameras and were enjoying themselves with memories to keep forever, i hardly ever felt it was worth the trouble getting 2 sometimes 3 instant cams so i did without. I even had to use my grandma's camera (which was not easy cuz she never wanted to part with it, my mom ended up having to sneak it out of the house for me) to take Photo A at Venice High School with Mr. Shapiro.
Man o man, i would have loved a camera back then... but then, i got to college. Oh did the wonderful candid moments that i would love to enjoy forever in a preserved state stop happening? Nooooooooooooo. They got better. everything from the first drive up here to Monterey, to the beaches, to the unnecessarily drunk times with various police agencies, the military might shown around campus, the other incidents that cannot be spoken of **, to all of the places i've travelled since being up here like friscoe, Jackson, Sutter creek, Madonna Inn, SB, Santa Cruz, and all the others in between. Of course brooke had her digital camera with her most of the time and often allowed me to take a lot of the pix but it still didn't feel completely perfect cuz i'd always have to go to her house and e-mail the pix i took to myself. this is not to mention all the time when i've had to shout "e-mail me those pix" after having a cool photo session or getting my picture taken.
Anyways.... to make this long story short, i was glancing through the office max catalogue of items on sale the weekend after thanksgiving and after passing it off as a typo more than 3 times i finally decided to inquire further and I found out that yes they were offering a 5 Megapixel, 1.8" LCD, (32 mb card included) Digital Camera for 148.99. Holy shit, i nearly sniffled. I told brooke and then when we got back to her house i immediately called my mom and told her that if i didn't get anything else for my birthday/christmas (2 days apart) gift then I would not be sad as long as i go tthis camera. She was contemplating and told me to check some account info for her and call back in 10 mins. So i ran upstairs to brooke's computer and began looking for the bank website. Brooke comes up like 5 mins later and says that i didn't need to call my mom and that things had been taken care of... She tried to suprise me but i wouldn't let her get away with it, it turns out in the few minutes i was upstairs checking the bank, she was conspiring with my mom's voicemailbox, and her roomate and she decided that she would get the camera for me as my gift.
OOOOOOOOOOHHHHHH YEAH!!!!! So now i am the proud owner of a fancy new 5 MP digital camera that came complete with 8 recharable batteries, and a charging station with a DC outlet and car charger!!!!!!! All for $150. Holy shit, i looked on the Best buy website and the 5 MP's are like $299 at the least. Now i know that a digital camera is probably small fish for a lot of you and may not even be worth a huge LJ entry but i'm fucking excited cuz i haven't a camera in such a long time!!! I love my boo and she loves me. So you'll be expecting a lot more pix from me in the future and more cafepress items. Come chek out my still growingstore on CafePress!
thanksgiving was great, had a good good time, ate some food loved some people. I love my family and my one day extended family. Talk to you guys later!

I was sitting here reading about what CBS had to say about the "War for fallujah". Notice how news agencies continuously change the headline from "war against..." to "war for..." to give the impression to unsuspecting Americans that we are helping the people over there. Hmm.... As some of you may already know, U.S. coalition forces have cut off all roads and access to Fallujah on the basis that it is a strong insurgent stronghold. On almost every single page of the CBS website having to do with the war, the captions include phrases like "after heavy bombings..." and shit like that. Ok so just to clear up any confusion. Fallujah was a major populated city with a lot of Iraqi citzens who made it their home. The US took it upon itself to storm the city with over 10,000 soldiers using tanks, humvees, and simple manpower. They were careful to get the citizens out first right?

An Iraqi family carries a green flag as it tries to flee fighting in the center of Fallujah, Iraq, Nov. 12, 2004. Hundreds of men trying to flee the assault on Fallujah have been turned back by U.S. troops following orders to allow only women, children and the elderly to leave.
So what happens to all of the men??? Maybe they all get together in a group and try to flee the city together. Keep in mind, the people i'm talking about are not the insurgents. I'm talking about the men like in the picture below that only want to be with their familes. If they are turned back by U.S. forces, then what happens to them?
Maybe this is what happens to them?

pffffff.... i'm just drunk as a muthafucka. peace
(shoot the shit)
the 10-day weekend begins now. lets see how much trouble i can get in by next sunday
(shoot the shit)
This turned out to be a wonderful weekend. Oscar called me and said "what about me coming up to monterey tomorrow" i was like fukyha (pronounced: phuuuhhh-kyaaahh). He came up and arrived friday night. That night we went to IN N' Out, had an impromptu tour led by me, and then we pulled some money out of our asses and attained some alcohol. I dont remember exactly what we had but somewhere along the lines of 2 12-pax, apple twist vodka, raspberry twist vodka, bacardi limon, and you know some of the other shit. Either way we were all down for a nice college bonfire to re-affirm oursleves with the water and long story short, we get to the beach, come up on an abandoned bonfire complete with already lit fire, meat for the roastin', tortillas for the grillin, and not much else. We set up shop, got real drunk took some pix and brooke and I went for a piss. coming back we didn't see the cop standing there by the fire and all of my friends standing in a circle around him. He asked who'd been drinking, after almost an hour of shit talk and us being this close to all getting arrested and going to jail, they finally let us go on the grounds that (they appreciated the fact that we had DD's and a warning was suffiecient)... which is cop talk for we cant do shit like call your parents like they threatened cuz we're all at least 18. that was fun.
The next night we smartened up and stayed in the suites to drink. We had caitlin bring us alcohol and she almost got what we asked for (not). She brought us some Bacardi Razz (with sugar flakes floating in it) and some pretty good Arbor Mist Strawberry White Zinfindel for my boo. We ended up drinking pretty fattyliciously and it was a great time. Since we had to wake up early the next morning, brooke and I went next door to my room to go to bed. I hear from oscar tho that a lot more drunken debauchery went on without us.
Next day went to Frisko for Brooke's Angel Island field Trip. We were horribly disgusted by that experience but for all the wrong reasons. Lets just say that we live in a wonderful wonderful country ladies and gents. Afterwards we had dinner at Rainforest Cafe and got this close to getting alcohol from the waitress. Brooke got her testicoveries up and staright up said we're underage and we wanna drink. Like i said, this close. Had fun in the Skoe and then drove home. Cant wait till next time. Thanks for coming buddy.

So I dont exactly know where to start.
Had a good Halloween with my baby. We had the most fun of anybody this year around. I cant tell you exactly what we did but i can tell you that it did involve massive amounts of sheets, blankets, a CPAP machine,and way too many alarms. Good times.
As of now, Ohio stands to be taken by Bush, and he will more than likely get Iowa as well. So, regrettably i must say that John and John did not win the presidency and vice presidency respectively, but they did give one kick ass concession speech. Edwards came on stage first as a show of respect and admiration, then Kerry took the floor and gave his choked up, but "to the point" speech. He explained that the United States would really need to find a way to unite and remain strong as one despite coming changes. He further went on to explain that he did not give up the fight when people doubted he would even have a chance against the president, and he was not about to quit now. He remained steady and unwavering as he got towards the end of his speech and began thanking all of his supporters, including his wife Teresa, his daughters, his campaign manager and all others. He thanked us too, and thats what made it cool. He said "No matter what happens, we will still wake up tomorrow as Americans"
Now, onto that "whatever happens". I'm not one to sit here and praise Kerry and backlash against Bush, but i do know how to pay attention to whats going on around me. Some of you may be aware that congress has approved increased military spending within the last year. In addition, now being developed under a contract modification awarded by the U.S. Army Armament Research, Development and Engineering Center at Picatinny Arsenal, N.J., to Alliant Techsystems, the XM8 Lightweight Assault Rifle will along with the XM29 will ultimately replace the current M16/M4 family of weapons as the standard issue weapon for the military. We do know that they dont develop new guns for nothing.
And just so that i dont feel like I'm broing you by telling you a bunch of poilitcal shit that wont effect any of us one way or another, i have to tell you whats been going on across the pond. As some of you may know, Great Britain's Prime Minister Tony blair has supported President Bush throughout both the Afghani and Iraqi Campaigns. When i say "supported" i dont mean he came over and read Bush bed-time stories, I mean he sent in British troops to fight in both wars, War on Terror, and Iraqi Freedom. Just like here in the states, Tony Blair was receiving a lot of negative attention from his own people for his actions in supporting our wars. In a speech he made to both the British Parliament and to President Bush congratulating him on his win, he stated that while the war in Iraq remains a priority in everyone's lives, it is time for the United States to live up to its responsibility and begin the challenge of increasing safety and secuirty in other parts of the Middle East. He was strongly refering to the Palestinian /Israeli crisis. Tony Blair sent a message to the United States this morning, and it says Now it's your turn to "support".
In all of this war-ism, i do have to say that we dont have to expect a totally shitty time. Bush was elcted and enough people thought he fucked up before, now he has to fix his problems. This is gonna be a really cool 4 years.

Had a great time this weekend. Went over to Santa Cruz to see my boo. She made us all dinner of survivor chicken and Josh Soto and I headed off for mikey's at the bottom of the hill. We stayed there for a while, smoked a bowl, rolled a Fattie J and left for Frisco. We sparked the J in the car on the way and mikey got us to SF safely and high. We got parked and went in to say Hi to everybody, then we had a session. Afterwards the guys (Brian, Mikey, Josh and I) all went to Del Taco and after i had my #8 with the fry upgrade, i never wanted to have fast food again.
Went back tot he pad and smoked and went to bed. Next day woke up and headed for this really happenin' resturant for some grade A breakfast. Then it was off to Amoeba records in Frisco, but not before going down Haight Street. Haight street looked so cool from my window, i wanted to get out but we had places t go and shit to see. There was a strip club every like 10 structures and I also my first cannibus club buildings. We passed by the Vapor room and the Golden Tiangle. Medicinal marijuana all the way! Ameoba was chill. I found some pretty cool documentaries and a couple cool albums. After spending a while there we were off to Berkely. We crossed the bridge and got to berkely at like some time i dont remember. We met up with Alyson Iwamoto, been so long since i seen her. She was way chill as always and for the second time in the same day we headed for Ameoba records in Berkely. I found some pretty cool stuff at this one too. i finally found the eddie murphy standup comedy that RON played for us all in the 10th grade, but i didn't buy it tho. 'm gonna mail alyson some money to pick it for me later. Afterwards, it started raining pretty hard again so me and brian went to the car and began rolling the last Joint of the wknd. Brian, mike and I all put in and made a joint that was perfect for the occasion. We smoked it without thinking in a parking lot next to the University and we were all happy. Afterwards we went back to brians to get our shit then headed back to Santa Cruz to get in about 10 pm.
So in one day i went from Snata Cruz, to San Francisco, to Berkely, then back to Friscoe, and back to Santa Cruz. Brook got her stuff together then we headed to Salinas for some In N' Out and back to my house in Monterey. Good times sleeping and cuddling with my boo. This morning we went to cannery row for candy apples and now i'm here doing LJ and kinda hw too. Great weekend with the bologna crew + brian. Cant wait to do it again. Oscar come up soon.
i hope you've enjoyed this selection from comme dans l'histoire. See you next week

Here is the e-mail the school sent out to everybody this morning at around 5 am (September 28, 2004).
Today, Tuesday, September 28,the campus will be involved in a mock earthquake exercise beginning at 10am.
There are two components to the exercise; First, the entire campus community is asked to participate in a "Duck, Cover, and Hold" drill, promptly at 10am and concluding at 10:03am. Whether you are in class, in a meeting, or in your residence, please stop what you are doing at 10am and DROP, COVER, AND HOLD. You can prepare for the drill by clicking on the links below and watching a film, produced by several CSUMB TAT students, staff, and faculty.
The second part of the exercise will be a mock emergency. In order to test the emergency preparedness of CSUMB, we will conduct an exercise that presumes that a large earthquake hits campus September 28 at 10:03, immediately following the Duck, Cover, and Hold drill. In this exercise, Residence Hall 210 and the Media Learning Center will be impacted and the campus quad will be the center for triage and emergency services. In this drill, the Otter Sports Center will become the emergency shelter.
Please be aware - and tell others - that the purpose of this drill is to ensure that the emergency preparedness team on campus is as well prepared as possible should a real emergency hit the campus. Although we hope that the drill simulates reality as much as possible, please do not be alarmed. All of the people acting injured and being treated by medical personnel are simply participating in the drill.
The Presidio of Monterey's fire department and American Red Cross will join CSUMB's emergency preparedness team to make this drill as realistic as possible.
Please feel free to contact Dino Latino, Manager of Emergency Preparedness, with questions.
Thank you for your cooperation in this very important activity!
Here is the e-mail sent out at 10:45 am. after the real earthquake occured.
At 10:15 a.m. today ( 9/28), during the campus Emergency Earthquake Drill, a 5.9 Richter Scale earthquake occurred near Parkfield, California. This trembler was felt throughout Monterey, San Benito and Santa Cruz counties. No damage has been reported at this time on campus and we are awaiting further reports relating to damage, and recovery from County and State emergency officials.
The site of the 'real' earthquake is reported to be approx. 7 miles south of Parkfield according to state emergency officials.
Thank You California State University Monterey Bay Police Department
My school fuckin' rocks!!! yeah what kind of planning was that. Nice!!!

Last night was a good night. I went to a college party just like the ones on TV. There were tons of people (at least 300) and a slip n' slide, and even a bounce house. They came and took the bounce house at around 11 tho but the fun carried on. I had a really great time, i was pretty stoned and and was surrounded by cool peeps. A lot of people asked about Brooke and wondered why she wasn't there. She'll be here in 3 days tho, so its ok.
BAYWATCH. Do you guys remember the greatest show ever called baywatch. I was researchiong it yesterday and at one point, not only was it the most watched tv show in history, but it was broadcast in 178 countries and on every continent except antartica. And i'm not talking about the chicks. When i think of baywatch, i think of Mitch Buchcannon and his son Hobie and the way that they tried to write in real-world problems intot he script. And since it was 90's tv (1990-2001) the black character didn't show up until 1998 when the show was already doing badly. Well there was that Tracy Bingham chick, but she didn't really act, she was just there to be another chick. I'm looking for the DVD's but i can find. Aww well.

Moved back into school yesterday. Came in called mom, called brooke, then went bac down to the car to get more stuff. The drive only took me about 5? hours. I didn't get sleepy or pull over to take a nap the entire way down. Thats pretty nice to say that i only had 1 hour's sleep before driving. Hmmm.... I wonder how he did it ;-). It was very nostalgic driving up. I recently replaced my old broken down cd player with a very cool one. One with a motorized face and yes, i still have a remote. I had the VERVE PIPE playing when i came in the front entrance. Made me wanna cry, almost. Got here, checked in and everything was cool. I took the larger side of the room because i see it as fitting. Turns out my roomate is also a sophomore nd he doesn't speak very good english but thats never stopped me before. I made my desk into the dreamdesk area. I'll post a pic as soon as i can. I even have my new mini webcam poised in such a way so that i can watch my front door (i'm around a corner and cant see it when i sit down), or out the window, or just my bed***. everything is slowly getting put in place, but speaking of putting stuff away, i'm gonna go do that now.
My room is missing one element though. I'm going to get my extra map of california out of the car soon and i will put that on my wall as well as my holographic skechers poster. I even have stuff to mont my strobe light But all that wont come close to what this item does to the feeling and aura of the room. that element is Ms. Brooke Baxter. come here boo.
Peace, love, and pum pum

Although its only my third one, this is the best job i've had. In N' Out was nice but it was a lot of hard fast work, and Falcon Foam was the worst job i've ever had so of course that leaves this one. I've pretty much got my own office space and computer and shit so things are good. Today while delivering packages, i took 3 20 minute breaks. One to smoke a stoge with Jeff Wienberg, son of the company's Chief Financial Officer "CFO" as they say in the business world. Anyway, he invited me on a trip with him to Colorodo next month but i think i can go cuz its a 3 week long trip to go snowboarding and when the last time you saw some fat black fool on a snowboard that wasn't trying to steal it from Sport Chalet. In addition he also went on some trip to San Frisco and he along with 100 other UC students had 4 house boats and has 26 kegs between them. He's a "little" wealthy. He's having haveing a going away party tonight on the strand in manhattan beach and he wants me to come but i dunno. He looks a bit coked out. But hey, that could be fun too...
In other news, Rick James died today. They say it was of natural causes. um hmm... natural crack cocaine. Well anyway, when the next Dave Chapelle Season 2 DVD comes out, it's gonna SELL!. Peace.

so for last couple days i have been high to put it bluntly. Hahaha, i love naughty puns. The skechers job doesn't drug test and in fact i'm on the skechers computer right now. I like my job. I came up on like at least a half eighth for 10 bucks from these little gangster kids who dind't know what they were doing when i said gimme a dime sac. I had enough to make 5 blunts from swisher paper and a well stuffed one out of peach paper. damn. also oscar has been smoking with me. but...
Also, because i know Oscar checks livejournal comments more often than he does voicemails, i called his house last night as he was leaving for the beach to take pix of the moon cuz i changed my mind and wanted to go. His parents tried to catch but couldn't, in the end i tried calling his CELL phone 8 times then thought it would be a good idea to see if i could just catch him at the beach. Did it work going ALL the way to DOCKWIELER beach to look for him...? FUCK NO. See this kind of thing used to happen all the time in the middle ages, friends would tell King Arthur, hey i dont wanna mount my steed and go rescue Guinivere and then K.A. would go but then that friend would change their mind 2 instants later and decide to go looking for the King in hopes he can catch up to him and smoke a blunt or rescue the princess or something. In the end, the fair friend would waste all his horse gas and die en route in the thick forests. BUT THEN!!! In 1784 a man by the name of Samuel Van Buren CallaNigg invented the cell phone. This made it so that this problem would never happen again until one day someone named Oscar Ogaldez invented the "I leave my cell phone off for no reason because i dont want to talk to certain people even thought those people's numbers are unblocked on the caller ID so i can clearly see who they are and just not answer the phone!" Wow.
i'm out.

So here i sit at work on my lunch break.
So last time I informed you, i was possibly getting a job at Victoria's Secret. I want to first thank you guys who left me comments in support of my decision to work there. That was cool cuz it WAS a good idea. But sadly, that all it turned out to be. I went in for an interview, looked real spiffy, got some excellent feedback from Alicia (store manager), and she even gave me a guide to working there and an extension to the corporate office to further the process along a bit. Unfortunately when i called back 4 days later like i was instructed to, Alicia told me that she was sorry but they filled the position and she had to go. I didn't have any hard feelings. I figure i can always try again at another location, preferabbly up north.
So i loitered around the house for about 2 weeks then went to this employment agency called TeamOne. To make a long story short, I was there for 5½ hours, and i took a total of 5 tests, one being a comprehensive math test. The agent there came out of his office into the waiting room where i was beaming from ear to ear, and said "I haven't seen a 100% in a very long time". Haha, i gotta admit, the test was pretty easy. probably used the math skills i learned up until the 10th grade. No Trig, Stats, nothing. So he then told me that he was gonna (in the lingo of business preofessionals) "throw my resume out there and see who the hell bites" Hehehe, he told me about this job working at a factory in Compton (i know, i dont like it either). The hours were 6am to 2:30pm making 8.75/hour. I did thsat miserable work for about 3½ days when Todd my agent called to inform me that he had found for a better position and instructed me to leave right away. I was so happy to comply.
And that brings us around to today. I now work at the Corporate Headquarters for Skechers U.S.A. in Manhattan Beach! I make $11/hour and i mostly sit on my ass. I get my own PDA and workstation to work on recieving and shipping packages. I also handle all the international mail and parcels and i get to drive the company van wheneveer i want. Holy shit, its the best job i've ever had! In fact i'm on my hour long lunch break right now (more like an hour and half) and when i get back to work and i just have make some fed-ex labels to send to china, japan, and italy, then I'm pretty much done for the day. My supervisor is chill and loves to curse and there is no drug policy. Am I in corporate heaven? I think so.
Till next time,
The hardest working man in Shoe business.

So the events up until today.
Been here in Los Angeles for about 3 and a half weeks. Visited friends and family who i haven't seen in years. Noticed Adonis and MOnet are both growing up waaaaay too fast. Adonis will be going to the 8th grade in september and he is taking two couses at a junior college this summer (just like his older brother did). Monet is graduating from the 6th grade thursday and my Venice peeps are also graduating that same day. I think its gonna be a great summer full of celebration, love, and lust***.
I have been unsuccessfully searching for a job ever since i got here. I have applied to 17 places interviewed for 2 and i haven't recieved word back from any of them! I love this! And its not like i go in the looking like shit either. I always have my hair pulled back in a pony tail with a nice shirt, slacks and powerful looking tiw, no matter where i go to fill out an application. I dont know what it is.
I caught a bit of a break yesterday while searching for a job with Brooke. She went into the fitting room of the Victoria's secret in the Marina. While she was trying on stuff i noticed that the store manager was standing across from me, so me being the unafraid speaker I am, I told her that she should start hiring more men to work at Victoria's Secret because i know from experience, when going in there to buy underwear for your girlfriend, its kind of intimidating to talk to one of those female associates. However, If a guy worked there, he could help out the other guys and possibly make their time in the store a little less tense and wierd. Can I get an amen? Who knows, i might even be able to bring in MORE sales. A bit later the manager (who turned out to be a manager for the perfume and cosmetics dept. next door) went and got me an application and said to drop it by to her personally one day soon. She gave Brooke an application too. We were in line and about to pay for stuff and Jessica (the manager) came back up to me and said you know what, could you possibly fill that out now and give it back to me, i'm going to be here shopping for a few more minutes and i wanted it before i went home". I was like oh of course, and me and Brooke went outside and filled them out in a hurry. We went back in 30 mins later and thats when Jessica paked up her stuff and prepared to leave. She seemed happy to see us and she took our apps and started looking them over right then and there asking about our availability and how soon we might be available to work. She said she would look over it more with the other managers and she was definately going to contact us and that she was glad that we had applied. Whatever, long story short, Brooke doesn't like the idea of me working in a women's underwear store and for some understandable reasons. I told her that I would only consider the lingerie side if the one on the perfume side didn't work out. But, with this being the only job out 17 that has given me positive feedback (really positive), i dont think i have a choice. I need a job really badly and here's the opportunity. If another arrizes that pays as much as Victoria's Secret, then i would without thinking take it, but until i get another job, I will be working at Victoria's Secret if i get hired.
What do you guys think?
about me working there... brooke's reaction... my attitude towards the job... ???

Had an ok time yesterday. I was able to put my endless seach for a 2 month job here and L.A. on hold for the time being to help my baby unpack because she came home from college yesterday. Oscar came along and we spent our day getting shiot out of the car, sitting, having dinner aat C&O, getting brooke boba, and then going home to talk, catch, up, make out a bit and go home. It was interesting to see how some things haven't changed. Good times were all around.
Peace.
P.S. As a sidenote, i want to be buried like Reagan gettin buried and I want the same guest list at my funeral. Most of you are invited, talk to me personally for a complete invitation. There gonna be good food and plenty of gossiping about my great achievements in life. And hopefully Bill Clinton will fall asleep while somebody is reading some speech about me! Hahaha, i love our presidents.
