It Was a Cool Pool Party

I was not sure what to expect out of yesterday.  I had to wake up really early to go to the airport, But I didn't want to come home and sleep all day and be lazy.  The apartment was unbearable, so I headed over to the Yach's to soak up some of that sweet sweet air-conditioner.  I rode my bike across town and was exhausted from the heat and a little de-hydration.  We chilled in the cool air of the apartment for a little bit, while Lindsey and I waited to go to the House of Blues Pool Party.

THINNER:

 As I was using the restroom at the Yach's, I noticed a scale in the corner.  I haven't  weighed myself since the beginning of 2008.  I stepped on, and nearly freaked out when it said I was 145 lbs.  I asked Lauren if the scale was correct and she said it was 5 lbs. over, so I actually weighed 5 lbs. less.  140 lbs!!!!! What was wrong with me???  When I moved to L.A.  I weighed 180.  I have lost 40 lbs since I have moved here.  I felt it was kind of unhealthy that I lost that much weight.  But my stomach is tiny and I can't eat much.  PLUS I ride my bike a lot.  Well, I am going to use this lack of weight to start working out harder, and tone some muscle.  I plan on checking out some of the gyms in the area this week.  In a couple months I will be in the best shape of my life!

POOL PARTY

It was now time for Lindsey and I to head over to the H.O.B. pool party on top of the Hyatt hotel on the Sunset Strip.  This pool party was phenomenal.  The rooftop view was more than breathtaking.  You had a 360 view of  the entire city and the hills.  The pool felt amazing.  Swimming is one of my favorite activities in the world, and I hardly ever get to do it here.  I need more friends who are as gung-ho on swimming as I am.   If I spent everyday on top of the Hyatt rooftop pool, I would be a happy man :)

BE KIND REWIND

After the pool party, I went back to the Yachs and watched Be Kind Rewind.  A film I have wanted to see for a while.  It was a quite enjoyable movie.  I guess there was only so much you could expect with the concept.  But, I love Michel Gondry, and whatever he dips his fingers into, usually has a hint of gold.  It reached near genius in their movie re-enactments, with their ability to pull off "special fx".  But overall, it is a film you can watch over and over again, but does not necessarily have any depth like Gondry's previous films.

MIKEYS BIRTHDAY

Last night we celebrated Mikeys birthday party with a huge Cinespace bash.  This is a club/restaurant on the Hollywood strip that has potential to be really cool!  The atmosphere was awesome, but a lot of the crowed consisted of douchbagery.  These douchbags are the pretty boy hipster crowed.  God, how I hate the pretty boy hipsters. Their clothes are worth more than the majority of my possessions, and they stand poised with that asshole expression across their face. They use sleaze-ball tactics to pursure every woman in the bar, and in this crowed it works for the most part.  Its not that I am a bitter person, or jealous in any sense.  I am open to every-type of person, and give everyone a shot.  But, when you bare witness to douchebags like this, bathing in douchebagery, you can't help but feel a little since of loathing.

ANYWAYS,There was an open Vodka bar,  in which I partook in.  It's a rarity to see me drink. haha.  Lemon Sun played as well.  It is always great getting to watch them.  They are such a talented and fun band to watch! Overall, despite the douchebags, it was a VERY FUN evening!  Maybe I will even check out Cinespace again (after I get my pretty boy hipster routine down. ha.)

You know, my Birthday is coming up.... Here is a list of a couple things on my want list:

3. Lasik eye surgery
