Last night I went up to LA to a rave called Nocturnal. The main draw for me was the chance to see Infected Mushroom play there, which is something I've wanted to do for many years. In fact I turned down a Vegas trip with my always beautiful and amazing friends CG + JG to get to this rave instead. I went with JB, his girlfriend S, and some of her ( Read more... )

As you might know from my previous posts, I'm looking for new housing due to my roommate's eviction. I found a really nice house with a room for rent, and I gave them the deposit today. The drawbacks: it's a chunk more expensive than my current room, and farther away from the beach (though closer to work). The upside: very modern and luxurious ( Read more... )

My roommate TO got arrested last Sunday night on a battery charge after a fight with his girl JK got out of hand. I wasn't totally sure where he was or what was going on, and I had no idea how to get in touch with him (tried his cell phone but no response). Apparently he was taken to prison, where, distraught by his situation, he tried to kill ( Read more... )

So, I have this roommate who is a little bit crazy. I didn't really know him when I moved in; I just knew his girlfriend JK. My first hint that something wasn't quite right with TO was a story he told me about a party he threw a few months back. There was some dude there who TO found annoying, and TO promptly demanded that the dude leave. The ( Read more... )

I haven't posted in weeks, but now I'll try to give a quick sense of some of the things I've been up to ( Read more... )

I adore female beauty. Hell, it's the only reason I'm not gay. If I was gay I would understand better what I was up against and I would probably get laid more often. But lately I wonder if I appreciate female beauty as simply as my fellow men ( Read more... )

Summer officially started today, and I realized I hadn't been swimming in the ocean in the entire eight months I've been living in California. I had to fix that, so I stripped down to a pair of shorts and waded out into the sea. I didn't go out too deep, but it was fun experimenting with different techniques to jump into a wave and try to ride ( Read more... )

I enjoyed the last drum circle at Black's Beach so much that I decided to go again.  This time I went with my 21-yo friend Runy, his 17-yo girlfriend Sophie, and a few of their friends (the same crew I will be going to the Electric Daisy Carnival with next weekend).  They're all a bit younger than me, and they seem to look up to me with this odd ( Read more... )

I looked at two potential apartments today. One was in Encinitas, with the large perk of being walking distance to work. The house was beautiful also, but the current tenants are a 50 yo twice divorced woman and her two teenage kids. I don't think I'd be very comfortable there; they seem to have a very high standard of cleanliness and I would ( Read more... )

Phew, it's been a long day. After getting home from work last night after midnight, I got up this morning and went to a five hour class on being a literacy tutor, followed immediately by another eight hours of work. The tutoring class was entertaining to me because of the demographic represented; of the eleven of us who showed up to volunteer, I ( Read more... )
