I’m not one much for the future. The internets are mostly lost on me. I have to give most (okay, all) of my credit for anything internet or ipod related to my buddy Jeff. That being said, I have recently discovered podcasts.
Read MoreThis past weekend my girlfriend Mal wanted to head up north check out the University of Santa Clara. I hadn’t been to the bay since new years and additionally it was my boy Russo’s birthday weekend so I thought it would be a great time to return. We drove up Friday after work and made it to San Jose by 9. That night we drank some brew dogs and caught up with each other.
Read MoreThis past weekend Jeff and I headed to Phoenix Arizona to catch some Spring Training Baseball. Being a huge baseball fan, it was kind of amazing that I’d never been to Spring Training before. I’d gotten two pairs of tickets as a Christmas present from my girlfriend. We planned the weekend out and figured we’d drive and leave around noon on Friday and return Monday night after that day’s game.
Read MoreFrom March 4th through March 8th it was Los Arroyos 10th year anniversary celebration. Los Arroyos is a very delicious Mexican restaurant in downtown SB. Year after year they are rated in the top 2 salsas in SB. Anyways, when I heard that they would be rolling their prices back to 1999 levels on some menu items I was pretty excited. I began spreading the news to friends, acquaintances, and whoever would listen. At first my housemates and I weren’t sure what the savings would really be. I mean, 1999 wasn’t that long ago, how much would we be saving? When we went on the opening night of the celebration we ordered food for four people and the total was $28. That was a pretty good deal seeing how I’d taken Mal there a couple weeks ago and it was that much for two people. The gist of it, select items were about half off, but still 100% delicious! After that first night, my roommate Jeff D. announced that he would “fully explore” their menu and was planning on eating there everyday until the prices returned to their less favorable 2009 levels. Initially we all laughed at him, but I was down to go along for the ride.
Read MoreRecently one of our kitchen cupboards has been taken over by moths. At first it was kind of funny and a running joke in our house, but now its straight up ridiculous. I'd been keeping a head count but lost track after 30+ confirmed kills. Today, Jeff D and I went extermination on them. We completely emptied the shelves out and found some fucking cocoons. There were little white balls all over the place along with full grown moths swarming. After we sprayed hella simple green and vacuumed any lingering moths and cocoons, I'm feeling we've seen the last of those fuckers. I'll keep you all posted if we find anymore. I guess we all learned a lesson about the cycle of life. Rasin bran becomes maggots, which ultimately become moths. Up next, we need to kill all of those damn silverfish that live in our walls.
I was down in San Diego a couple weekends ago visting my sister. We were having some good San Diego / Pacific Beach times together. We'd just returned from going to a concert in Oceanside (North County). It was a good show, my friends brother was playing in it. They're called Strike Twelve and were opening for the lead singer of Unwritten Law, Scott Russo. In an ominous sign, Scott's house completely burned down two days prior. It was crazy he was even playing the show. So, it was about 1:30 am, and I was hungry. My sister made me a delicious sandwich which I was planning on consuming with a tall glass of diet coke. As I reached to grab the glass, it began to fall. My instincts kick in and I use my ninja like ability to try to catch the glass. As the glass is falling, my left hand is trailing it... I might be a little too slow to catch it in time. Next thing I know, there's an explosion of glass. The pint glass had hit the counter top. I yank my hand away immediately. As the glass shatters I feel it touch my hand. As I turn my hand over to see the damage, then blood begins pouring out of the left index and middle fingers.
Read MoreMy sister invited me and a couple friends to participate in the 2nd Annual 12 Bars of Christmas pub crawl. So Jeff, Mal, Katie and myself headed down to beautiful San Diego. It started at 2pm at the Silver Fox, we made it around 2:30. My sister hooked Jeff and myself up with a couple of sweet christmas sweaters. The rule was to have at least one drink per bar and spend no more than an hour at each bar. The first bar was pretty packed, especially during daylight hours. There was probably about 30 of us wearing sweaters and ready to have good times.
Read MoreAfter about 21 months and one jaw surgery later I finally got my braces off. Simply put I am pretty stoked about it. I am mostly excited about not worrying about getting food stuck in them all the time. I will be consuming some ribs, chicken wings and corn on the cobb soon too. I was pretty suprised how many people didn't realize I had braces in the first place. Some people just couldn't tell while others thought I was wearing a retainer. I recommend getting the clear braces if you don't want people to notice. The last thing face related would be hoping for feeling to come back in my lower lip. It's still numb from the jaw surgery. I guess you can't have it all. Thanks to everyone at Dr. Wright's and a special thanks to my girlfriend for dating me even though I had braces. That's paid off nicely for you, hasn't it?
