weekend events...

Another great weekend under the belt. Sort of feel like this is the final hoorah for a little while. I have 30 days to get 10 working days in on the beach this summer. I waited until the last minute. This means I am gonna have to skip out on some weekend activities in the Bay Area. Its ok though, cause I need some time in the tower. They can assign me to Dockweiler, Del Rey, Manhattan, or Cabrillo, I dont really care. Ideally, they will stick me at Cab, so I can kick it with some of my old buddies and where I can enjoy some ocean workouts.
The engagement party for (bh) and (bw) went very smoothly Couple of friends from Seattle and San Diego suprised all of us too, which was a nice bonus. Didn't go out Saturday night though....ended up feeling a little down and out, so took it easy.
Woke up early on Sunday am, cleaned the shit out of my room and apartment cause the rents are gonna be crashing in my room for 6 days. Sketchy! Had to make sure that I got any incriminating evidence out of the room. Then went to a going away party for (kgk). Bittersweet night. (kgk) is simply one of the most wonderful, fantastic people I have been fortunate to meet. She makes other people feel happy and good, which is important, and she is a rockstar without a doubt. If we knew each other when I was a rockstar, we would have torn this town a new one! She is gonna be in SLO, and working with inmates at a medium security prison. Fricken shrinks....
I wish her the very best...and SLO is only like 4 hours away.

This leaves me with the idea of friends. What is a true friend. I always talk about how rad my friends are and how much I love them. I am lucky because my group is so huge and tightly knit...but how many of them would sacrifice something for me? When I truly think about it, I am sure more than what I believe would do it, but it also points out to me who I really care about and to what capacity. Don't get me wrong, I am not trying to talk shit...just saying that friendship is not something that should ever be taken too loosely. Emotions, feelings and the human pysche are too valuable to take friendships lightly.


I've got a box full of letters
Think you might like to read
Some things that you might like to see
But they're all addressed to me

I wish I had a lotta answers
'Cause that's the way it should be
For all these questions
Being directed at me

I just can't find the time
To write my mind
The way I want it to read

You'll come back again
And I'll still be your friend
