Gotta love the stache.....

Recent fires on Catalina Island...

Many people don't realize that as a Los Angeles County Lifeguard we do a lot more than just sit on the beach and check out hot chicks. Last week, gnarly brush fires ravaged through Catalina Island and nearly hit the small town on Avalon. The entire island was evacuated, except the emergency service people.

My friend Joel G. has been a Los Angeles County Lifeguard for over 20 years and took this picture while fighting the fires on Catalina...

Nice work guys!

Its been a couple weeks now....

Day 4

Day 3

A Picture a Day...


Day 2

Time to introduce you all to someone...

C...we met on Sutter and Stockton.
She's fantastic and I am for the first time in a very long time, totally and completely stoked about a situation like this.
So..now to intro you all to the best thing ever...C!
Just got back from Regina Spektor at the Warfield. We really had a blast! There is something to be said about having the best seats in the entire venue. Lower Loge, Row AA, Seats 102 and 104...
You may recognize her from her recording for Weeds.

I just saw these guys last night and they were incredible. Although I have had their albums for a while, its the first time I got to see the live.
Epic!

I haven't had a cigarette or a dipper in 16 days. I recently attended my first show without a cigarette ever and I have been to hundreds and hundreds of shows. I recently realized that I don't wheeze or get out of breathe easily.
I don't smell like horrible stale cig smoke everyday. My breathe doesn't stink all the time.

Its still tough and gnarly, but I am done with tobacco forever.

ew.

Hey Ya (Acoustic)...

Easily...the hardest thing ever...

Today is Day 5, and today sucks ass. I woke up to two text messages from Layla and Chloe, reminding me to part of the reason why I am not smoking now.

Its been really nice to have the support of my friends but it hasn't made things any easier.
I want a cigarette.

Its been 4 days now without a single drag from a smoke. I can't believe that I have made it this far. Some of you may think that 4 days doesn't seem like a long time. Ha! It feel like its been at least a few lifetimes since my last drag.

I don't miss it though. That shit is horrible. I am glad to be tobacco free for the past 4 days...I hope to never smoke another cigarette again.

The real deal...


What happened to music like this? Lyrics that you can feel...

Don Imus is a fucking bastard....

California...

Besides the epic surf, world class mountains, and some of the best stuff on Earth, one of the best things about living here is the camping. Let the season officially begin!

Dude...
