This past Christmas was really nice. I should post up some of the recent pictures. problem is, I've taken so many photos that I don't know what to put up. I do have a great story from church service on Christmas Eve that doesn't have a picture to go with it. Man what I would've done to get a picture of this. I went to church with my family. A Lutheran church in Fullerton. I had been spending a lot of time with my friend and his wife who was sick in the hospital. That's peripheral to my story, but it did make me value my own life, and I guess value traditions... like going to church on Christmas Eve. The director of music at the church is supremely talented. Chris played the piano and organ, sang, the whole nine yards- at all four services that night. Keeping everything together, all his soloists and choir members and everything running smoothly. You could tell he'd been there 20 years and knew his !@#$. except you can't say !@#$ in church. You know. Gotta be on your best behavior. Well, this old lady in the third service was certainly not behaving herself. After she took her communion, she turned right to walk along the pew before turning right again at the piano to head back to her seat. But as she passed the piano she leaned over and gave Chris a little hug wrap around the shoulders, then a kiss. Chris managed to keep everything flowing and I don't think anyone in church noticed a thing. We did, though, since we were sitting right there. Then we found out later that the old woman was not only hugging and kissing our gay pianist, Chris, but slipping him some tongue! Merry Chrismas

watching the Lakers at home on a Monday night. Glad to not be closing. Staying 'til ten each Monday was rough. I took full advantage and was home by around three today. I had ambitious plans to ride to the beach, but imagined I did from the comfort of my sofa instead. dramatically different Laker season this year. they're playing the Grizzlies, who were such a surprise last year, but have been having drama of their own. umm, yeah. I don't know. I feel stale, like a rusty blogger. Luckily I have some of the pictures I've been using for my gramma's present. take a look at what iPhoto exported for me. my superhero riding buddy, the slough, the beach, sandart, and my neighbor Zack, and his pimp-ass beach cruiser. Zack's cruiser has a surf-board rack made from one of those 20 dollar black lamps and a handle from a snow shovel. Of course, now that they're covered in astro-turf you'd never know it.

happily enjoying life after the fall semester. Rather than study or work on Credit Union Orientation, I woke up and started watching a movie. Terminal. Its always fun to watch Tom Hanks on screen, though I'll admit I probably liked his character even more since it reminded me of Borat. Nice! I've missed blogging. its going to be my christmas present to myself. I hate keeping my great stories and adventures of life to myself. I never seem to be able to return to stories after a few days. Today's looking like another great day. I'm going to go hear what this "daylight" is. I've heard so much about it. I hardly ever go out in it. I'm off to the beach. its relatively cold right now. i have to wear a light sweatshirt over my t-shirt. I'm going out taking pictures for my Grandma's Christmas present. She had cataract surgery this year. Now that she's got more vision, I've decided to put together a tour of San Diego. She'll never make it out here, so I say. Why not bring Ocean Beach to her? Yes, I'm sweet. Adorable actually. I'm campaigning for my family's annual "offspring of the year" contest. I think this may be what puts me over the top.

i actuallyhave the time to sit around and watch football today. I had last night's USC UCLA game on tape. watched that amazing game this morning and am now watching a pretty good one with my two favorite nfl teams, the chargers and the broncos. the game yesterday so good. the rainy southern california weather has made for each of the games to be full of turnovers.
