Pasty Finger

High

Southern California can be kind of nasty in August. The kinda heat that makes even leaving to get into your car seem like a bad idea. Luckily my friends feel the same way. Instead of venturing outside we stayed in and enjoyed home made ‘brownies’, watched: one psychedelic inspired film and a band and nature documentary, played Chinese poker (13), and worked on a crossword puzzle. The movies were good, the poker seemed to be good for everyone but me and the crossword puzzle was maybe 15% completed even with the combined brain power of 5 college students. Nonetheless I’m am reminded on a daily basis how important friends can be.

I am not going to lie. I really like being unemployed. I have so much time to work on creative projects, music, writing and what not. Plus my friends are always willing to hang out and do stuff. Yesterday I went to the beach and played in the surf. I have been doing some hiking in different parts of my neighborhood. I really don't want to to find work, and I think I have been stopping myself from looking for a job. Any ways I want this bike.

Paint the town

To summer dreams.

Considering that this summer is only half over I am amazed of how many changes have and will happen. Best friends moving away, re-kindling friendship’s with past flings, friends breaking up with their significant others. For me personally this has been a great summer. I went on an amazing trip, have spent some great time with my friend before he leaves for SF later next month. I have been to countless great shows and ran into old friends and met new ones. I’m excited because even though things are changing rapidly the people all around me seem to be taking charge of their life and demanding only the best from it. That excites me and gives me the pushes that I need occasionally to chase what I want out of life.
Looking forward, there is much in the next month: more great shows, a joint birthday celebration with my friend, possibly a new job with a really cute girl, and just trying everyday to be as productive as possible.
