VIVA LAS VEGAS!

neil sent me a text on monday sayin, "vegas tomorrow (tuesday)?" i half way thought he was joking until i saw inter-web remnants of him wandering the strip (ie: fights and "nice smelling t-shirts"). he was a persistent little fish and asked me again on tuesday, "you should convince papa dave to come to vegas tomorrow (wednesday)..." i sat in my towel, fresh from a shower with wet hair and all, pondering what bad could come from this idea? little crossed my mind and i actually thought this could be a REALLY good thing for all of us.

so what did dave and i do? WE DROVE TO VEGAS AT 9 AM YESTERDAY! bada bing, bada boom. we arrive to the party at 1pm with plans to leave at 6am. to make a long story short: 18 hours seemed like a weekend, mike law loves to party, i get emo sometimes, dave knows how to fucking gamble, neil loves getting rough with lamp shades, vegas is the definition of desperate and ive never seen so many bros in my LIFE. needless to say we evacuated that shit hole at 6am, THIS MORNING, making it home by 10. i waltzed into my 12 o'clock meeting like last night never happened.

lesson learned: SORRY FOR PARTYING! im out like a trout - neil talk.

warped 09.

ladies and gentleman, i have reached an all time record!!! i managed to stay at warped tour for a whopping 3 hours this year. i saw a specific few people and managed to make it back to casa de la darkness by 12:30! im patting myself on the back.

i had a chance to see COURTNAYY!, jimmie (+ the rest of that gang <3 those kids!), the HTL doodz, boner, dylan and a few other solids. i managed to avoid the avoidable and have an overall pleasant night (aside from the wicked stomach ache in-n-out gave me, thanks). if you want to see more just click on any of the photos below!













anndddd, so sadddd...

i miss my fwenddddds!

you CAN teach an old dog new tricks!

bp has this awesome computer and has never used photo booth!!! i guess the hours of face melting giggles that application produces has been taken for granted on my account. after a really treacherous day i broke shit, then we had therapy at the frolic room and polished things off with some photo booth laughs:





(no hes not in pain...)

travis' birthday!!

august is SO birthday filled... how i love those leos ;)! for travs big day we headed to the infamous bjs for some good pizza/brew/friends. it was fun to see everyone again after my brief hiatus. mainly posi vibes were spread and several hard laughs were had - in all it was a fun filled night. not to mention i got to see these babes!



how the time flies, i remember turning 18 and celebrating my birthday with travis at chuck e. cheese! thats almost a solid 10 years that ive known this man! so travis, buddy, this post is dedicated to you and youre beautiful little soul! thank you for standing by me through thick and thin... not to mention putting up with all of my bs!















i polished the night off with a quick stop at king's fish house on my way home for some healthy eats and some quality time with more of my faves.

stormy stormy high.

everyone knows you reach high and low points in life but whats in between? i really wish i could pin point what my feelings are at the moment. its kind of like this emotional mush pot of crazy and every day is a new ingredient. friends are vital at this point and if youre out there i just want you to know that i need your company and words more than ever. im working a dream job, living in a loft that is unreal and backed by some of the strongest friendships ive ever had. to each and every one of you, i love you. i also owe a huge part of this little rant to kimmy, dave, brian, nemo and bp. without you guys i would be a lost puppy.

medieval times!

one of my bestest friends, david flores, turned 26 two days ago. i had the pleasure of organizing a barrel of monkeys into going to medieval times. i knew dave was into live entertainment and eating with his bare hands so off we went! it really helped ease my mind in these awkward times. bp also happened to turn 33 a few days before, so it worked out nicely.

ill sum up the night; this place tried to slang a $20 photo to us that we all look haggard in, m.t. sucks at puns, chunk gave the boys new tubes, dave got knighted (no big deal), i had money on how quickly this crew would be kicked out, our knight gave me a flower followed by a sash tied to the tip of his joust <--- no, for serious and i think we all went home that night with humongous grins on our faces.

misguided angel.

life has been overwhelming as of late. i cant process the thoughts passing through my head but i promise im 100% in tact and happy (to anyone who is concerned). im flying under the radar and trying to calculate the future. i think if booger and i match brainpower this will be a much easier task....



"i said mama, hes crazy and he scares me
but i want him by my side
though hes wild and hes bad
and sometimes just plain mad
i need him to keep me satisfied..."
