it's a shame now, baby, you can't see yourself, and everything you're running from.

so another year went away! that's cool. it was a lot better year than i let it on to be that's for sure... but the more i think about it-it may have been the best year ever. things that happened last year seemed soooo long ago that i didn't even think of it as last year like salton sea, amboy and burning man. and seriously it was the dodgers best season in 20 years, i was employee of the year for the state of california and in general i rode my bike around SF, SD, SLO and the greater los angeles area more than ever! holy crap man. seriously salton sea feels like it happened 3 years ago and i'm going back in a little more than a month! crazy. but yeah a lot of the stuff that happened last year really changed my life and view of the world for good. damn good i must say.
christmas was nice. it was good to be back at home again. last year was just weird in hawaii. the siblings, e and jeric took over the livingroom and played guitar hero world tour scaring away all of our relatives. that was pretty funny but maybe mean at the same time? forget that. that was rad! how rad is guitarherorockbandworldtour2!? yeah. new years was at marinos with most of tren way! that was pretty damn fun too having 6 new years in one night. i think it's 2014 already. some people were missed, you know who you are, but i still had fun.
the weekend after awakened my brain to snow. serious snow. twenty two of us rented a cabin up in big bear! it was serious epic opium den forecast snow in your brain. i loved being outside and bruised the fuck out of my shins running, sinking into the snow and hitting my shins on the top layer of ice. soooo much fun though! i saw my first literal snow flakes! the weather was perfect. clear on the way up, snowing saturday and clear on the way down... sooo rad. out front we had a whole entire hill area to ourselves where we just sled! one night esther, pc, zuko and i went exploring in this big clearing. i couldn't make it all the way where e and pc kept on until pc was walking around on the lake! i'm glad he's alive but yeah that place is sooo dead silent at night. it was eerily nice. i want to go to snow cabins all the time now!!! e and i just need to get a car that can handle that shit coz i ain't from no DC (erin drove a 4 door sedan around in that shit!)!
so what else? i went to a kings game against my favorite team the devils. the kings got wailed on and the best part was that we had third row seats behind the glass!!! sooo rad and probably the best seats i'll ever sit at, haha. i'll have pictures of that and all this shit later in my flickr. the game is totally different from up close though... how many dumb faces!!! then after we had some serious birthday karaoke jams for (happy birthday!) tashina and jose! i don't remember singing much in fact i think esther sang more than i did but i still had a fun time. it took me a day to recover though under the watch of esther, aw, she's the best :) i didn't make it to part time punxx sadly. oh well. next time! speaking of next time, there may not be a next time if i keep eating this woven bacon cheese wrap! we had our first Tren Dinner and how much food! my heart almost gave out because of the clogging from the bacon and cheese combo with a irish coffee overload. yeah fun stuff!
