Memorial Day

MEMORIAL DAY 

For a day dedicated to the memory of those who have passed away in war, this was a fun memorial day... The best Memorial Day, I can actually remember.  I began the day cleaning up Roxie vomit, and the house in general.  Relaxed a little, then it was time to party.  I made a quick appearance at my buddy Blakes'.  He is a good friend from high school that I don't see as often as I would like.  His house was great, the party was great, overall a good vibe.  Mike called and it was time to head over to meet up with him and Rachel to make our way to a party, a little north of Pasadena.  I wish I could have stayed longer at Blake's, but I knew party II would be fun.   So, I meet up with them and after a very beautiful drive through areas I have never been we arrive at the house.  We passed huge mountains and had a great view of L.A.  I knew I would enjoy this.  After being warned about bears in the neighborhood, we made our way into the house.  There was delicious food, friendly people, raffles, a hot tub, and anything you could ask for on a memorial day BBQ...except for the sun.  But the hot tub felt great in the cool mountain breeze.   We stayed  for a few hours, and afterwards we headed back home.  We saw a huge trash can fire on Silverlake Blvd.  I went home briefly to change, then headed over to Spaceland to check out the monday residency.  I was not impressed with either band I saw, but still, its free live entertainment.  Not much to talk about there.

LOVE

I am extremely jealous of the happy couples I see everywhere I go.  I wonder why I can't keep a happy stable relationship.  I realize I am at fault for the majority of my relationship problems.  I seem to take advantage of being in a "couple", and tend to neglect all the needs of my partner.  I learned a lot from my most recent relationship.  I know what mistakes I have made and how to correct them.  I am just waiting for the next lucky girl. haha.  I feel like I am kind of over the dating scene.  Its boring to me I guess, and I miss the comfort of having someone who is there for you.  I have my friends, and all of them are great, and I am sure would do anything for me.  But, the dependability in a relationship is quite different.  As young as I am, I feel like I am ready to settle down.  I dated a lot through college, and it's not really my thing anymore.  A lot of my friends are getting married, or are already married. It's not that I feel like I need to keep up with then, I just thing I am in that place in my life where I can see myself doing that.  Of course I will have to be with the girl for a few years before I pop the question.. I just want to meet the girl who could one day see themselves marrying me. Future me is a good catch!  I am going to be a successful, good looking, fun dude!  I am already some of those now. haha.  But, you find someone when you least expect it. So rather than rush it, I am going to take this opportunity to better myself.  I am going to focus on my career, my body and my mind.
