So I went to Yosemite for spring break. Bass Lake, more specifically. Ann-Mari's parents let us use their cabin up there. We went down to the valley almost every day to enjoy the beauty, despite the many attempts by mini vans to slow us down. The first day we just got used to the altitude and did lower Yosemite falls. The second day was the ( Read more... )

Today (and when I say today, I mean Monday) I woke up in Nor-cal to enjoy one last day with my pops. We went to breakfast together, and then went to find the geocaches that elluded us the day before. We found 3 out of the 4 that we missed, which is pretty great considering we didn't actually have a gps unit and were just using google earth from ( Read more... )

"The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed." - Albert Einstein ( Read more... )

So, after 19 years, I finally went to Disneyland again. Ann-Mari treated me to it, which was really sweet. We got there late, and it was kind of a dreary day, but it was still a blast. We went on all the big rides (Space Mountain was a lot of fun) and some of the little rides (Jungle adventure was my favorite. "The elephants might charge us. I ( Read more... )

Got back from Tahoe last night. 6 hours driving back, and then another 6 hours driving back to So-Cal tomorrow night. Ugh... It was fun though. I like being in the snow at least a couple times a year. Didn't snow board, which sucked, but I got to spend some good time with my parents and Daniel. I even went to a club both nights. The second ( Read more... )

what an amazing weekend! The only thing that was supposed to happen that didn't was getting to see Derrick, which I understand and will make up for when I go up north next week. I went up to Idyllwild on Saturday after lunch with Ann-Mari to visit my dad and grandma. I love spending time with both of them and it was such a beautiful place. We ( Read more... )

Ugh, Heather and I got into it the other day. I'm done with it. I tried being nice for 2 months, but all it does is make her think we'll get back together I guess. I finally actually got angry at her. Still am, a little bit. Hopefully now she can just move on, preferably without talking about me behind my back to all my friends I introduced her ( Read more... )

So I was saving a grand to go to Brazil in January and visit my brother, not to mention clear my head a bit, but the tickets turned out to be almost double that. Where to put $1000 of saved up money? Scuba diving, baby! I figure the middle of winter is the perfect time to get drenched in the ocean again. Who knows? Maybe this time I'll actually ( Read more... )
