ive been on spring break mentality for about a month now. Got an A on my anthro midtermtho. the real, time allocated, spring break was fucking awesome. Went with some peoplefrom the co-op to Big Sur. Even though I hadnt really hungout with them all too much it was so much fun. They were all really chill and we had an epic day on the beach and the cliffs and late night signing around the campfire with pabst. It was cool cause another co-op loth actually biked down there and met up with us. So we all played music into the late night. After camping I came back to berkeley and got some shit done,cleanedup the house and laundry and what not.It was really nice having the whole house tomyself.I just balst my music and walk around naked and eat everyones food haha. So then my rents picked me up, they were pretty drunk once they got here of course.We wenttosome Indian food from Udupi which was bomb. When back in windsor i wen to phils house where i was warmly welcomed by a large group of drunks.it was great! what a welcome.the next couple of days were spent getting jimmy legal, hanging at nikkis, riverfront,and badger creek. was able to see almost evryone in windsor whoch was coolforhow short i was there.Then that weekend Jimmy, Tanya, Katie,Tucker, ian, and Gosia allcame to berkeley to party it up. First night we played beer pong and mario cart.smokin bowls like no other.next day we went to get fat salads fromIntermezzo and brought them tomemorial glade to eat them in the sun. It was a really beautiful day and we brought frisbee to throw around which was great. After we hung out at the co-op and then headed to Lake Anza.it was so chill just hanging out by the lake on that big rock drinkin beer and just enjoyin everyones company. except katie fell and hurt her leg, but all was mended with paper towels and a plastic bag. That night we hung out at the co-op drinkin playin cards and talkin to people. It was really chill. The next day Jimmy accidentally locked Tanyas keys in her trunk and from there a whole fiasco happened with bullshit locksmiths and 275 bucks down the hole. Lesson learned: keys should never be put in the trunk, and check the background of people you call to help you out. They ended up staying another night which was fun for me. The next day they left and I headed to work. I found out i was down 12 hours for workshift and the fining period was sunday. So i worked my ass off. Including naked workshift. i was doing IKC (intensive kitchen clean0 so i had to wrap clear wrap around my lower half to prevent unwanted hairson places we put food. But since I was naked i got double hours! which really helped me out. The week flew by and beforeI knew it it was bar night.I went around collecting peoples piss for the victory garden. We need to find a way tokeep away deer so they say to use human piss or hair cause it smells like humans and scares them away. It was pretty funny having to explain that to a bunch of drunkpeople, but aton ofpeople were down. Friday I had work and the headedto the victory garden topaint signs,make a flag,and build a bullitten board. The garden looks so good! Its so awesome just hanging out there with people. Once it was dark i helped mellissa the head of the garden bring tools back to her house.she gave me some bomb quich that wasnt vegan but really bomb and a nice jesture. That night the co-op next to CZ had a phycadelic timewarp party so a bunch of us snuck through the airlock into the party. I drank about five shots of whisky before so i was feelin pretty good.But i needed to use a bathroom. Soi aks around and im told its by the front door. So i go over there and the guys watching the door were like "hey i dont recognize you, did you pay." I tell them "no man my friend let me in but i dont have any cash on me.literally no cash ( as i open my wallet and show em). "Do you guys smoke weed tho?" "Hell yeah!" they say. so i end up smoking them out and they become hella nice guys saying i could bring all my friends and giuve them stamps too.apologizing and stuff. it was fuinny. The rest of the night I spent dancin my ass off. Its really funny how people are so self concious.Ive totally lost all care for how i look when i dance because i just like havin fun and if they're checkin me out then im doing a good job. So when everyone was just standing around in the dance room id run up to them and just start dancin like a fool.for a good while I took alexis' robot helmet which was fun. It was a good night. funny shit went down. On saturday we harvested!which was great. made out pretty well and now i have so much more knowledge for the future! good first grow. Then sat night i had to keep up my good timesso i went to the co-op for open mic. there were a ton of good acts and it was fun drinkin wine and yellin shit out. John Mar read his crazy stories about God and dead puppies, Matt Tucker rocked out on the guitar, Nargy free styled which was some of the funniest shit ever!, there were some drunk poets and then of course Alex who tries to do his trickof fitting his entire body through a hanger and gets stcuk! he had to get someone tohelp him get it down his shoulders and then of course he "had"to get butt ass naked to get it fully off.haha sooooooooo funny. I woke up today with Matt tucker climbing off his loft and stepping on my stomach on the couch below. When he realized I was there he screamed and asked how the fuck i got there.the funny thing is i dont know how i got there.so we both really confused.haha, i figure when i was drunk at the co-op i have three good places to pass out ditas room, matts couch,or amandas couch. funny way to wake up tho.
ahhhhhhhhh ive written somuch. but i must talk about Albany bulb! So for my physical science class which is on restoration of the bay area me and a friend fromthe co-op whos in the class with me had to go to this park that was once a landfill but has regrown over. Whats so cool about this place is that all the metal and concrete slabs are used by artists to create some fucking awesome art. theres tons of paintings, statues of drift wood and scrap metal, things hanging off trees and even this crazy house a homeless man made named Mad Max. Aparently he only worked at night and he built this crazy concrete house with a room and a spiral staircase that goes to the roof.the best part is that its right on the bay and the view fromthe roof is a clear view of the city and the bridge. So fucking cool!!! So for our project ourpart was to take picturesof the art and talk about how its important for thecommunity. A fucking legit project if you ask me! So Anna and I went today with our friend Jesse and explored the area taking tons of pics. We smoked a joint by the shore and waited for other people to comefrom CZ. Once everyone was there we chilled at the house drinking beer smokin froma bong and laughing at everything.It was such a great day.god dam.sipping some blueberry ale hitting a bong and looking out onto the shiny gimmering wate rwith the cityin the horizon with a bunch of really cool fun people.
Im just really diggin life right now, im so goddam lucky. I wish everyone in the world could enjoy life but i know all around the world people are suffering. I try to reuse whatever i can and buy good products but i know thats not going to end allthe fucked up shit going on. Theres no way one person can solve these things but I just try to be the most positive person as i can and i try to motivate people to care and want to make things better. anyway if you read all this you rock and if not well i guess it doesnt matter youd never get to this part......
Hope all is well with everyone else. I be sendin you good berkeley vibrations
