Too Hot To Do Anything

I should probably be the last one to complain about the weather, living in SD and all, but damn it’s been hot and humid. Anyhow, here’s a cool shot of the bros in the boat in Hawaii (I love flickr). I'm gunna end this post short now because I'm breaking into a sweat just typing it.

Aloha Friday

How's it bra?? That's how people talk out in the islands ya. I went to the beach today and this pic makes it look like I was alone on some deserted island. But there were lots of people around, including a large school group with a large woman who blew a whistle very loudly... "whreeeeew!! (that's my whistle sound) children!!! don't swim out too far!!". Nothing's quite perfect I guess. It's midnight on the mainland now, but only 9:00 out here and the bars stay open till 4:00 AM. I guess I'll venture out. When work sucks, take a vacation.

Load Ass Woodstock

Summer in P.B., you gotta love it. But at the same time, it’s kinda out of control. The traffic is insane, the parking sucks, and there’s people everywhere. I must be getting old. P.B. on a sunny summer day is a sight to see. Now, there’s talk of banning alcohol from the beach and I never thought it would happen, but now I can see it in the future. There are just so many people getting hammered. I love to have a few beers on the beach, but now there’s people stumbling around and just getting shit faced. I witnessed a guy making jungle juice, ingredients: a heavy pour of cheap vodka, one frozen juice concentrate, and three miller lights. Now that’s a recipe for disaster. It used to be a bunch of students having a good time, now it’s like a Woodstock for load asses. We met some people from Tennessee and from Ohio who had already gone to college and then just moved out to S.D. just for the good times. Plus, when everyone leaves, the beach is covered in trash. I spent 15 minutes or so walking around our general area trying to pick up. It’s just an example of how a good thing (drinking on the beach) can be exploited by a few people (people taking it too far, and coming solely to party) ruining it for everyone (especially me).

Going Back to Cali

Quick Vegas Recap

I was going to talk all about what happened in Vegas, but I then remembered, “what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas”. But I will say that I was hung over until 4:00 Thursday and that I had a spectacularly fun time. Highlights included, but were not limited too…

Flying in with DKJ while listening to my ipod and sharing headphones. Selections were held to mainly 2-Pac in honor of his place of death. As well as this one song by big L in which he says “Cartier specs, GS Lex, Nautica sweats…”

Watching TD show up with 60 Coors lights on ice in a rolling cooler.

Joe taking pics from the 17th floor of the “foursome”

Waiting in the wrong line at “Light”, only to find out our name was on the “List” so that was another line.

Having DKJ call me at 9:00 AM and demanding my presence at the suite for room service champagne.

Calling GBZ from the IP pool (sorry bro, had to do it).

Hitting on midtown with all the guys after dinner at the Cal. Best ten bucks I won all weekend.

Sitting with TD, Joe, and Tom for hours at the stages.

Having TD almost walk out on me at the teahouse (I’m just glad he didn’t hurl).

Anyhow, that’s all for now, there were many more highlights, and I could go on and on (I’m sorry if my highlights didn’t match yours. I think I remember these the most because I was the most sober when they happened) but I’ll end by saying it was an awesome time and I was so happy to spend time with each and every person who came. We gots to get back there soon.
