back to the whale's vagina

I'm heading back to San Diego (aka the Whale's Vagina) this weekend to see Mr. Spicy Meat-a-Ball himself and the Whale's Vagina herself. We will have a lot of fun and we will get really drunk.

And we'll probably make some BLD's.

UPDATE - Thought I'd put up a pic of Ashley since I'm stoked to see her also. It's not as entertaining as the one of Dave and I.

No one messes with the Dog

The Mad Dog is coming to LA. Wahoo!

Cherie (aka Mad Dog, my loving nickname for her) informed Jon and I the other night she plans to visit with us over Memorial Day weekend. Needless to say we're all very excited about this.

Winter Time

I've spent a fair amount of time talking with friends back in Michigan and other parts of the Midwest and I always hear the same thing at some point in the conversation. The weather sucks right now.

I am now responding to this by telling people they are dumbasses. That's right, if you live there, have graduated college or are old enough to dictate your own life, and bitch about the weather you are a dumbass.

I too bitched about the weather and hating how I would freeze my ass of walking to class, going to the bars or going to work. But then I did something about it and moved to Southern California. I was proactive about my miserable state and decided I'd go where the sun shines year round (well, 90% of the time and we have a few smog days).

Most of my friends are at an age right now where this is the prime opportunity for them to move somewhere else in the country. Yeah, it sucks to leave family behind and I do miss mine everyday but I'd also be miserable there with the weather.

I'm not saying you have to live somewhere else the rest of your life, but at least adventure out of the Midwest some and learn a little about yourself and see other parts of the country. Or at least go somewhere where it's nice year round and doesn't snow.

My main point is quit bitching if you aren't going to do anything about it. You better have a damn good excuse for staying there and if that is the case you've accepted the weather that comes with your condition. Suck it up and deal with it.

Slacking

I've been slacking. I know.

I've been fairly busy with work the past week and a half and over this past weekend I was busy golfing, sleeping strange hours or helping Corey and Tyne move.

The girl I went on a date with a couple weeks ago, Amy, beat me at my own game and called things off before I got a chance to. I was really only interested in her for hooking up purposes and she probably caught on to that. I'm not known for my subtlety.

Dave apparently has a miss spicy meat-a-ball that he's been hanging with. Ashley has stopped talking to Nick allegedly which has been great news since he was a giant douche and on the verge of making her a soulless loser.

Finally had my development meeting with Bridget and I think we came up with some good ideas and she had good insights into some of my projects. She didn't offer up much on her work (I'm convinced she doesn't have anything quality and just trying to latch on to my greatness).

Pete, Jon, Corey and I are looking into golfing this weekend. Hopefully the weather will be nice and we can get out and play a real round.

I will try and come up with some posts soon that are more intriguing and maybe a touch on the controversial side. I really need to stir the pot some, it's been awhile.

Oh, and I need to get smashed and make a BLD. Badly.

The Miracle Poster!

Jon and Pete officially kick ass. They went above and beyond in a way I never expected them to for my birthday. They got me a poster for the movie "Heat" (arguably my favorite movie of all time) in a really nice frame and it was autographed by MICHAEL MANN!

The autograph says "Happy Birthday George!! - Michael Mann" I got two (!!) exclamation points! I had a Mr. Spicy Meat-a-ball size shit-eating grin on my face all night (Dave always walks around with a giant, shit-eating grin on his face. Probably because he considers eating shit a delicacy).

Michael Mann is the director of the movie and one of my favorite directors if not the top favorite. From what Jon and Pete told me it was quite an adventure to get the poster signed. For them doing that I will probably now do anything they ask of me short of certain illegal activities (not all though).

I'll get a pic of the autograph up soon. It's a thing of beauty.

p.s. Happy Birthday Michael Mann!! (it's his b-day today and just thought I'd return the favor)

One Year Older

Today is my birthday and I am now officially 24. Don't worry, I still act like a 12 year-old (the pic below is evidence of that).

This was a very delicious birthday cake Jess and Sarah made for me on my 21st birthday (or 22nd, but I'm pretty sure it was 21st).

I got a gift basket from my parents this morning before I left for the office and the key ingredient was a 12-pack of Samuel Adams, one of my favorite beers. I plan on consuming a couple of them with Jon and Pete tonight after I get out of work and go for a run.

In this 24th year of my life I plan on spending more time writing, doing more multi-faceted work outs as well as crossing a few things off my bucket list (maybe a full marathon?).

I plan on getting drunk this weekend to properly celebrate. I foresee blacking out in my future and one or two BLD's.
