Richard got hit by a car the other day. what the hell. stop letting this stuff happen. He's okay thankfully but his front wheels donezo.
I rode out to pacific beach this morning and ate breakfast outside in the fog by the water. that was nice.
I'd enjoy wining the lottery if possible. both Vanessa and myself have fallen into funks with work. Don't really wanna go there anymore. so yeah the lotto could help that.
Think if I can save a few extra bucks i'm gonna go up to LA in a week or so and see pat. or maybe he can come here. either way, i'd like a few extra dollars to have a good time with.
BLAHHHASKLAJGFS i think im goin nuts sometimes

Jet Setting
The month of September has been a large blur. Seems to have flown right on by. But for a reason i suppose. Vanessa and I spent the first week of it in NY. We were on Long Island the whole time. Visiting family and friends and going to our friends Jeff and Becca's wedding which was amazing. The week consisted of lots of hangin and lots of drinking. and I left feeling as if i would not want to journey back to NY anytime soon. For, being home, especially when there are lots of people around down to hang every day and all sorts of fun things to do. It makes me miss it there. When i'm gone for a while its easier to put those ideas aside. So that was my plan. Not go back untill the time was right. Ahhh but then it happened.
3 days after Landing back in San Diego, I got a text with devestating information about a friend. Tracy, a friend since the 9th grade who has been living in Boston for some time, Fell off of her Bicycle. She hit her head, And never again woke. This happened on wed. But they kept her going untill friday. Sept. 11th 2009. I was able to get a ticket for a very low price to fly home tuesday and back to San Diego Thursday night. So thats what I did. There was a wake at the funeral home tuesday night which i missed but two on wed. and the funeral on thursday. I was able to be there for all of that.
I spent my days home surrounded by All the people I surrounded myself with whenever I was with tracy. Surrounded by friends I havent felt so close to in a very long time. we were there for each other we were there for the family. There is no worse circumstance to have a reuinion with friends. But that aside. it was beautiful. Tracy was such a beautiful person. Full of life and full of optimisom. I know no one that could ever say a negative word about her. And we as friends and family celebrated her. I left thursday afternoon to fly back to California with emotions raging. emotions so sooo strong. Heartbroken over the fact that A 22 year girl that impacted so many peoples lives, That wasnt afraid to do what she wanted and be who she was and was so freaking good at making people smile, is now no longer with us here on earth. And at the same time so thankful and happy to know I have lived a lucky life. filled with amazing friends. Friends from the past and in the present. And these feelings are the very things that make the future seem so bright.
So much love. Tacy, I hope u saw the way we partied for you. You're gonna live forever for no one could ever forget you. Thanks for everything.

Two Years Ago...
Vanessa and I rolled into San Diego after driving for 4 days from New York.
we spent the next week sleeping in my car. eating free breakfast from a hotel we did not stay at. and napping all day on the beach. That week combined with the first week of September were the hottest I have yet to see since my time here and not here in San Diego.
Today's really hot though, so maybe this is just a really warm part of the year here in southern Cali...
We spent 9 months here. living downtown in a small studio apartment only blocks from where we were both working. we made some good friends but it was short lived. we headed back to New York June 1st.
After 8 months in new york. which felt like the equivalent of years. We knew it was time to put it all behind us again and get back to where our hearts really were.
So here we are now, back in San Diego. Its been almost 7 months since our second coming. And it has been an amazing 7 months. The time spent here the first trip and the time spent in New York were all amazing in their own ways as well. Neither Vanessa or I would have what we have and be who we are if it weren't for those time periods. But I feel more at home now then I have in a long time.
Moving across country 3 times in two years is a lot of moving. We dont have many personal items out here. Now more then ever. When we relocated this 3rd time, we flew. This made it impossible to bring anything more then the bare essentials... Clothes and bicycles.
We've been able to aquire more things here and there. we've done quite well actually. We have this sweet loft bed that lets us have a good size bed without losing any of our precious floor space. which is precious when living in a studio apartment! we now each have more then one bicycle. We own a TV, no cable, no chanels at all actually, we get to watch all sorts of DVDS though. no internet. we use starbucks for this. we got some pots pans, plates ect. some of this we bought some was given to us. and lots of art on the walls.
All this stuff is great. But we still refrain from gathering to much because of the underlying feeling that its still not forever. we will eventually be picking up and going again. We havent yet beaten that adventure bug out of us. When that time does come maybe we'll get a kitchen table or a couch! now thats livin...
So yes, 2 years have come and gone. Ive had my highest highs and lowest lows. I truly believe the whole "time flys when you're having fun" thing. These last 7 months have flown by.
We get to go home and vist New York nex week. I cant wait to see all the family and friends. It will be really nice. Those people are the only thing that make living here so hard. Its the one reason I wish i had more money then I do. So i could fly them all out every week to hang out. I've got the best friends in the world. on both the right and left side of the country. And i've got real family now on both sides.
I am lucky to be here now and to have been there then.
Here's to the best Two years of my life and being able to share it all with A girl I love and friends that have become family.

I've been waking up early latley. well earlier then I used to, perhaps its because I havent been spending every night out at bars lately. Either way, even on my days off of work I wind up getting out of the house by 9am. It feels good though. to get out and get some stuff done and get back home before the hour I would typically be waking up a few months ago.
So far summer has been real good. Rob Hotte is here right now, tattooing at marlins shop in north Park for a week. He stayed with us the first night and with Marlin last night. He'll prob crash with us again. At some point this week Vanessa's gonna get a sweet Unicorn Tat on her arm. I have faith that Rob will do a great job on it. He's really been killin it the past year or so.
Vanessa and I got tickets to fly home for a week. The first week of september. 1st-8th. Beca and Jeff are getting married on the 4th. thats our main reasoning for comming home. But its good timing. As of september we will of been here in San Diego for 7 months going on 8. So a visit to see friends and family will be really nice. We've been fortunate enough to have as many visitors as we have had but going home is compleatly different, I'm excited to see long Island again. Being away makes you apreicate the little things back home very much. I love NY I miss New York, But like Vanessa said the other night... New York is Great, But so are so many other places. I am excited for a future filled with all sorts of places.

sometimes when we go out to certain bars there are people who walk around all night with nice cameras and take pictures of people getting down. its a good concept. everyone wants to know how funny or great they looked the night before. even more so when u have consumed large amounts of alcohol and don't remember munch...
ps. a kid who i never met named Thomas just came up to me and offered me a pair of vans... i said okay, and then he hoped on his bike, rode away and just showed back up with them for me. they seem like they may be a little big but what the hay. i guess he just didnt want them anymore?
back to my point now.
