good evening everybody,
Once upon a time...
what a nice three day weekend this has been! drunken phone conversations (see previous post). A reoccurence of the drunken phone conversation but sober this time... and i met delia's cousin's wife this time too! fun times! this was of course saturday night...
ok lets go back to saturday... i woke up, and just hung out that was quite nice. Played a little guitar. then i got really hungry, so i decided to get some lunch but something terrible happened! i couldnt figure out where to go! This town has many great eateries and to pick just one was too difficult... so i wound up going to two places... i went to splash cafe- amazing clam chowder and pretty darn good sammiches. but i had a strong craving for chicken tenders on top of the tuna melt on Pesto Foccacia bread that i ordered from splash... so i venture across the street to Franks. They have great burgers and as i discovered amazing chicken tenders! not quite as good as gelsons but certainly up there. So with my schmorgasboard (sp)? of food i went home and had a feast. well i was too full to really do anything else that day so i just sat around an played guitar. I need recommendations for songs to learn because i know what i want to play but i also want to know what you want to hear so let me know. then at around 10 or maybe it was 11 pm i dont remember... i wanted dinner because lunch finally wore off. So i called up my buddy Anton and we went to Taco Roco... some damn good mexican food... busted some taqueeters as dustin and nate would say and i must say they were muy delicioso... so my friend Anton doesnt know the city too well and he wanted to learn. so i let him be navigator and our quest was to find our friend Cole's house... now i know where Cole lives but it was up to Anton to find it... so after having me go in the wrong direction for about a mile we finally turned around. He wanted to go to a certain cross street because he had a better idea from there. We got there and then just as i thought we were gonna make it to Cole's, he didnt tell me to turn at the street so we passed it... After going down Foothill blvd. for maybe 2 miles he finally told me to turn around and about 5 minutes later he got us to Coles... the whole adventure took about a half hour when it should only take 3 minutes at most. that was fun... then home to conclude the night with SNL's Best of Alec Baldwin... funny stuff.
Sunday... a fun-filled day of even more guitar, more mexican food after much debate between that and subway with myself, hillary, shawn and sasha... yeah that was quite obnoxious of me... sorry everyone but thanks for helping me with the decision! i didnt regret it at all. So i went to Chilie Peppers and ate a Burrito that was quite tasty... (this weekend was Brian gets to be a fatty weekend)! and thats just because i love food and it loves me back and i think were getting married... ok that was a little weird... its probably better if we just stay friends... yeah... ok so back to my place... even more guitar was played and then i decided to walk to school to practice trombone... id normally drive but i needed some form of exercise to burn off all of this amazing food ive been consuming... so i practice trombone for a little over an hour... my friend Ryan scared the crap out of me while i was playing some scales... D-flat major to be exact... he bangs on the practice room door...NOT COOL! but its all good. it was the first time i had played since thursday and so my practice session consisted of lots of exercises to get my tone, technique and overall playing back in order... it felt good... then back to the room. Hillary called while i was walking back so that was cool. so i was back at my room again playing some guitar and i get a call from Anton that some of the frat bros are having a bonfire at Avila Beach! so i go and pick up a bunch of them and the excursion begins... First to Dan's house. then to albertsons to get some beverages (both types) I could not, nor did i want to partake in the "beverage consumption" because A) i drove and B) i didnt feel like it. So at albertsons i picked up my dinner which consisted of really dry pita bread and Greek Style Hummus!! mmmm! then off to ralphs because they had a good deal on candybars and we wanted to make smores! then finally we made it to Avila... i brought my guitar and we sat around the fire and i played and we just hung out and had a good time! it was a beautiful night too. came home at like 1ish and watched Ocean's 11... ive seen it a million times but i was just in the mood for it. and that was sunday
Monday was nothing special... showed my friend Jose the house were living at next year, had rehearsal... and the chapter meeting. thats it.
And they lived happily ever after...
I hope you enjoyed the story... all in all it was a pretty boring weekend... but it was nice. i needed that time to just relax and not really think or worry about anything.
So on another note! last week of classes! then next week finals! and then HOME! and then i come back up for 5 more weeks of school...
Id really like to go to the CHS concerts this week but i cant make it down in time to see them. Im sure everyone will do great and all of the senior solos will be great too!
Mike wants to do a kickflip! just thought id let you know! speaking of mike... hes back on the market now ladies! speaking of on the market wheres my lady? oh wait i dont have one either. mike says cream of wheat is better than oatmeal... ill have to agree with him on that one.
ok so theres this song i like and its this one right here...
Title: “Just Like You”
Artist: The Littlest Man Band
When I fall in love again she’s gotta be just like you,
Graceful and delicate cause nothing else will do.
A special something hidden behind bright eyes,
The sweetest tenderness that never dies,
And now I realize.
That I’ve been looking in all the wrong places,
Looking at all the wrong faces,
When all I really want is you
When I fall in love again she’s gotta have a sense of humor,
Can’t get her kicks by spreading gossip and rumors.
That petty stuff drives me up the wall,
I won’t stand for that kind of thing at all,
But now I recall.
You had mentioned that the day you’re back,
So at the risk of being attacked,
I could never have asked for more,
What the world am I waiting for,
When all I really want is you.
thats the song... its a good song. very jazzy.
ok that was rather unnecessary. it just took up way too much space. sorry.
I think ive just beat my record for longest entry ever for me at least... i hope you didnt succumb to the extremely boring rant of this entry. If you did i apologize, for it had nothing of real significance to anything important. Im sure you probably feel dumber having read it. Why cant i write meaningful entries? i dunno well i think its time for me to go before i write even more. have a great night!
Until we meet again...
