There's another thing on my mind, but I'm chilling on that one. One day at a time.

With so much happening I desire rest more than anything, but my drive to always want to be doing something pushes me past my limits at times and I become exhuasted... but I keep going. Gotta push on through right? Even God says we need a day of rest, but I cant bring myself to want to chill for a day, since I spent 2 weeks in bed more or less.

Things are getting a little brighter as the days go by. Life is an experience and I intend to live it up to the fullest. Risk taking is a part of it. Throwing yourself out there is part of it. Having your heart broken is part of it. Dealing with things that are out of your control is past of it.

But...

Its nice to know you got friends around to help you through it all. To pick you up and herlp dust you off when you fall. To bring you food when you are sick. To have dinner with you and chat it up about whatever. To be real and keep things at eye level. To go to car shows with and to go climbing with.

I see what so many people have told me over the years finally taking shape in me...

I cant do it all on my own. I may try and make it so far, but I wont finish without people helpping me along the way.

Plus, whats the point of finishing all by yourself.... its lonely...

Be true. Be real. Be open.

Most importantly... Be You.

Okay so I've been sick since May 2nd Friday night.

I havent been this sick in years.

I havent spent a weekend in bed since.... well I cant even remember... well before high school, so like at least 12 years...

I havent ever spent 2 weekends in a row in bed ever... well.... I dont remember if it ever happened

What I have been through so far:
 Fever, Conogestion, Sore Thorat. (All pretty much healed)

Things that suck worse:

Imflamed Gums, Canker Sores on bottom lip, and
Folliculitis. => no sleep for the last 3-4 days =(

Funny thing is antibiotics cant kill a virus... they kill bacteria...

That's right. Not Your Mother. Not Yo Mommy, but YO MOMA....

Yo moma jokes seem always to be funny and as I have been reflecting and capping on my friend while remenising in the past and the Yo Moma jokes... I would like to share a few of my favorites:

1) Yo moma got a wooden leg with a kick stand!
2) Yo moma look like E.T. with an Afro

I came up with this one the other day in the bathroom:

Yo moma like the koolaid man... Always full of sugar talkin bout "OOOOO YEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAA"

I made myself laugh.

...I watched a helluva lot of DVDs.

I usually maybe sit in front of a TV and watch abotu 10-20 hours a month tops, unless playoffs are on then I watch a lot more, but for the most part I dont sit and watch the TV too much.

But... I got sick this last friday and so I watched TV during the weekend (Saturday & Sunday):

In this order:

Lord of the Rings: All 3 Extended Versions (681 minutes)
Princess Mononoke (134 minutes)
Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon (120 minutes)
Once Upon a Time in China (134 minutes)
Once Upon a Time in China II (113 minutes)
Once Upon a Time in China III (112 minutes)

Total Time: 1294 minutes = 21 Hrs 34 mins

Still Sick too...
I hope I get better soon, otherwise I might have to buy some new movies...

I just answered this Featured Question, you can answer it too!

An Honest and Real way. Just be real about the situation and tell them how you feel, no buttering things up, just say what is on your mind. It may be blunt or mean, but it's best not to sugar coat things and just speak from the heart and mind.

Just to make those who liked the last photo of BBQ food, I have decided to make you drool further... =D Enjoy.... or will it be tourtue?

The College Years:

More Steak and Potatos with Green Beans.

O man those were the days. I loved College eating.

Summer time is the best and a many of things. I think that BBQs are great. You dont need a reason to throw them. You get to have a good time and meet new people and see old friends. The sun is shinning out and in the Bay Area its beautiful! O yea you cant forget the food!

This is from last year at my house.... O man I look forward to many more to come! =D

I like most xanga blogers are keen in checking our footprints from time to time, if not more often to see who stops by to say hello, or poke their head into one of our articles. I have seen on a map or heard of most places before but, "Cote D'Ivoire" pop up today from some wandering visiter and I was like "where is this?" It turns out that Cote D'Ivoire is The Ivory Coast Region and that made a lot more sense.

 On a side note I love Google maps... thats how I figured this out. =)

They say we learn something every day and I beleive it is true.

I won my first car show this weekend and it was fun. I usually dont post too much about my car or anything on this but I think that my readers may enjoy a few shots here of the last show I went to.

System Specs:

20 Speakers: 4-12s (subs), 8-6.5" (mids) , 8 1"(tweeters)
4 Amps (One missing due to repair at Atomic) Total Power (4800Watt RMS.. about 9600Watts peak)
26" LCD
Xbox360 Elite
Rockband

Just something for fun...

Cars are fun toys... but I'd Rather be Climbing outdoors! =D

Monolith one day.... El Cap @ yosemite one day... on day....would be sweet!

I had an awesome dream last night which I didnt want to wake from. It seemed to last months in real time, and when I awoke I had trouble thinking if I was still dreaming or not since sleeping was also part of the lengthy dream. I was so happy and I wish it really would happen.

Sorry no details. Just hoping that something magical will happen.

Please.

It is now my new "happy place."
