June 4th

I accidentally slept through my alarm today.  I was up late last night studying for my project management test I have at the end of this month and must have just not heard it. Good thing my boss /work is cool.

I had good lunches today with my chicken breasts I cooked on Sunday and some not so healthy but extremely tasty pasta salad I'm thankful I had.

I skipped out on lunchtime basketball but it looks like most everyone else did as well. I'm shooting to play on Thursday but that will mean I have to get to work early. I'm sore from yesterday but looking forward to working out tomorrow.

My project management partner has her frumpy face on tonight but I'm still glad I have her to help my through this because I don't have the dedication to get through it myself. The test in three weeks and I don't know if I'm optimistic or apathetic at this point.

June 3rd

Today felt how you might expect a Monday to feel. Things took too long to get done and more and more kept popping up. The next few weeks should be a challenge. Because I don't want to talk about work all the time,  I thought I'd list some of my favorite movies:

-The dark Knight
-Pay it forward
-The green mile
-the shawshank redemption

May comes to a close

This weekend flew by,  the short ones always do. I try to save most of my time on Sundays for chores like laundry,  cooking, grocery shopping and other domestic activities. This weekend I caught up on some much needed rest by means of never seeing saturday morning. Saturday afternoon I watched the heat-pacers eastern conference finals with my buddy Ryan.

After the game Colton,  Ryan,  Kathryn,  Jacob,  fatima, shireen and I went to olio pizzeria for dinner and Dargans after for some drinks. I like Dargans a lot and also like the people I was with. I see myself hanging out with them more as the months go on.

I got a low intensity workout in Sunday in order to mentally ease in to getting up early this week to workout. Afterwards,  Kori and I ate dinner together since everyone else was down in Pasadena.

I have high hopes for this week. I look forward to working out,  getting off work before dinner,  going line dancing,  and having a long weekend in sb.

It's the little things . . .

. . . that make someone special. Make sure you don't overlook them.

Memorial Day

Today is memorial day and it is one of those holidays that people need to stop and think about its significance for a while. This is one of those days that I'm happy I took so many history classes in school and have and understanding of how much sacrifice has taken place in order for me to live the life that I do now.

So a special thanks goes out to all those who have fought on my behalf and given a part of their life so I may live mine.

Ride on Josephine

I recently hit a big milestone in my car.  We've had a good six years together and she's been an amazing car.

Beer Festival San Luis Obispo

After my trip to the bay, I stopped in San Luis Obispo to visit my college roommates. Beerfest was going on at the Madonna Inn. There were soooo many people!

It was 80 bucks for a ticket and then all the beer was free. They provided water and bread to eat as well. The live music wasn't bad either.

One thing I really noticed was how many beautiful young people there were. I should go meet some of them in Santa Barbara.

San Fran the redemption

Last weekend in the bay for bay to breakers ess rough on mind body and soul. This weekend I'm looking to have a much more relaxing time.

Today I hung out with my my old roommate and good friend Deanna Elias. We got lunch, played corn hole and got dinner together. Once her boyfriend and my old roommate Trevor got off work we went to nightlife art the science museum. It's a Thursday night activity and this week was disco themed.

There was so much cool stuff! There was a full simulated rainforest, a full aquarium, and lots of music and cocktails.

Fleetwood Mac at the HP Pavilion

Last night my old roommate and I saw Fleetwood Mac at the HP Pavilion in San Jose. Cory, my roommate, lives up north but I left early from work and drove up from Santa Barbara.I also took Thursday off so I could have an extra long memorial day weekend.I'm liking forward to the break but I'm a little nervous about how much works waits for me when I return.
