Rock Climbing & Camping!

I’ve been very active this week and yet I feel as though I’ve done nothing! Oh my. Work has been crazy busy, my personal life has been packed. Things are crazy!

So Wed night I went rock climbing with Mok. That boy has some HOT legs! Oh my. And the other boys there at the gym. I thought I had died and gone to heaven! We had a great time, it was only $20 to climb and rent. We went to this place called Beach City Rocks. The first wall that I did was very hard, so we moved over to the easier walls. Which were way toooo easy. Also the movements required were hurting my arm/shoulder and hip a lot. Especially the landings on the way down. After about 4 or 5 times up the wall I couldn’t do it any more. Mok kept pushing me, and I tried a small wall got up it fine, but then you just jump down and the landing killed me. This morning I couldn’t walk at all. After that we went to this really good place called Rice Things and then back to his place to hang out.

The camping trip is really coming along and we are now officially turning people away! How exciting is that. When I first signed up for it I was planning on maybe 3 or 4 people. We now have 8 people who have said they are HIGHLY interested. Of course this doesn’t mean that they WILL be coming, but it’s a great sign. I really think this will be a great group as well. Mok is going to try and book a second camp site because the one I have is filled up. I looked for a group site there, but it is gone already. πŸ™ The only issue right now is…. HOW TO GET EVERYONE THERE! We are only allowed 2 cars up there and everyone that’s coming only has tiny cars! Damn LA! So I looked into renting a van and the prices are insane! Like nearly $250 for the weekend. I’m hoping to keep the price per person to below $80!

Thursday afternoon I got off work and got home and it was just the most beautiful day we’ve had here in a while. The skies were clear, the boys were out. You could even see Catalina clear as day! So I had to get out there and enjoy it. So I changed into my biking gear and headed out. It was very painful, but the day was just too perfect to miss. I did about an hour of riding and then headed home. OH my god, the beach boys were just gorgeous.

Friday morning I woke up in some pretty bad pain, so I didn’t come into work till late. Which kinda sucks cause I wanted to hang out with Constantine that night. I got a lot done at work and still have tons to do though. I put in a bid on ebay for a truck, I won the bid, but it was below the reserve by about $6,000.

Friday evening was quite scandal filled. I picked up Mok about 10 and we headed out to Weho to meet up with Constantine. We got there and went to Fiesta Cantina. It was two for one, so I just got Mok and I a double vodka cranberry each. Well little did I know that he’s never been drunk before! Opps! Lets just say that he was very drunk after that. We only spent about 20 minutes there because Chad was at The Abbey and txting me to come over there and hang out with him. We head over there and meet up with him. Well apparently the only reason he wanted me there was to make out! Which would have been fun, but not with friends there. So we split ways and got more drinks and then hung out at The Abbey the rest of the night. Met up with Jason and Steven and a bunch of their very gay friends. Jason was plastered off his ass which was very entertaining. Some cute guy even came up to Mok and they exchanged numbers! πŸ™‚ We left about 1:45 and grabbed pizza and then headed home.

Saturday morning I slept in till 9 and then did Laundry for the morning. That afternoon I headed down to Laguna Beach to see Pageant of the Masters. But first I met up with Nick and Dustin. Nick was hosting a little get together for a bunch of ALC people. That was really fun and met some more good people from the ride and we all talked and shared stories. After that we all headed over to the Pageant. We met up with Nick’s friends Steve… Steve and I actually talked about a year ago via AIM for a while and then we just kinda stopped talking cause he was always too busy to hang out. All I have to say is that I should have kept trying to hang out with him because he was adorable!

The Pageant of the Masters was just AMAZING! You would not believe it till you saw it. So if you’re in the OC/LA area, you MUST GO SEE THIS! If you aren’t in the OC/LA area.. GET YOUR ASS HERE AND GO SEE IT! Very very cool!

After the Pageant the 5 of us went back to Nick’s house and chatted for awhile and shared ALC pics and just talked. I left about 1:30 and came home.

Sunday morning I again slept in till 9, got up and got ready for brunch at Ocean Diner. Constantine, Sirin, Robert, Mok, Adam (The guy from Weho on Friday) and Eric were all there. Brunch was tons of fun and we got the ball rolling for the camping trip. I think that this group will be great and very nice. I sure hope that everyone gets along. I can’t wait for the trip. After that we all headed down the street because I wanted to buy a hat. It’s very cute! I wasn’t sure about it at first because it’s not at all the type of hat I would wear. Not that I even wear hats!

From there we all headed back to my house and went to the beach. Erick joined us and later on Jason and Steve were there as well. A big old group of homo’s on the beach. Two of them in hot speedos! πŸ™‚ How can that not be fun! We were there for like 3 hours or so. Once the evening clouds rolled in we all broke from there and headed over to the Dominator Shipwreck which I’ve talked about before. It was of course tons of fun. However we did come across three dead seals. πŸ™

Asshole online people!

Oh My god.. I just ran into one of the biggest assholes online ever!

So I get a message from this guy on hotornot.com asking if I have MSN. I message him back and give him my SN.

Well today he messages me on there, we chat for about 2 seconds. Total. First off the whole time he gives one word answers. .. What do you do? … “Chemical plant”. What the fuck does that mean?

Anyways, so then I go to ask him where he lives… And this is what happens….

3:39:15 PM me: Cool, so where are you located?

3:39:27 PM mattmci: edmonton ab

3:39:29 PM mattmci: u>?

3:39:43 PM me: where’s that?

3:39:48 PM me: I’m in Newport Beach, CA

3:40:03 PM mattmci: canada

3:40:16 PM mattmci: wheres ca?

3:40:19 PM me: california

3:40:26 PM mattmci: wheres that

3:40:42 PM me: are you serious?

3:40:50 PM mattmci: u dont know where ab is

3:41:10 PM mattmci: yet u expect me to know all yur states

3:41:15 PM mattmci: fucking americans

Changed status to Offline (3:41:30 PM)

3:41:30 PM mattmci: Matt has removed you from his or her buddy list.

Ok, seriously. Anyone read that and automatically think AB = Canada? Around here, AB = Airforce Base. Not fucking Canada. And then seriously. Even if you are from Canada, who doesn’t know where California is? It’s only the home of 8 million TV shows, movies and recording artists. And I mean hello the GDP of Alberta is only $215 billion, where as the GRP of California is $1.5 trillion (2004 numbers for both). I can totally understand people not knowing here Iowa is, but California?!

So I emailed him back on hotornot…. Let’s hope he replies!

All My Songs!

So I just completed listening to EVERY song I own. It only took me since March 8, 2007. So just over 5 months! Oh my!

I’m working on a quick little PHP script to do some cool shit with my iTunes Library information to produce some statistics and what not.

So last night I hung out with Constantine again. We had dinner and then came back to my place to watch a Meet the Fockers. It was funny. I also met up with some lady to buy my coffee table and bookshelf I have. They have always both been way to big for my place. So she comes with a cargo van and the thing doesn’t fit at all. She just bought the coffee table. But the point is that she would not shut up! blah blah blah blah blah. Omg. Crazy woman. I gave her directions to get back to Santa Monica via the coast.

Today I had lunch with Nick, Dustin, Robert and two other people. Dustin was wearing a greyish t-shirt with an elephant on the back and these really cute plaid looking shorts and some flip-flops. He also didn’t shave. πŸ™‚ I don’t think his private clients would enjoy that feeling!

I’ve been insanely busy at work. Too much to do. Adios!

Some Random Links

So I saw Sicko the other day, as I mentioned. Then today I found this great interview with Michael Moore on CNN. I love how he just goes off on this rant. Very hilarious.

Also check out this very interesting Google Earth pics.

Everyone knows I’m always looking for new ways to work out. Well the other day I stumbled upon this exercise page. You click on a muscle group and it tells you what exercises you do.

I love the TV show Kyle XY. But you have to give a huge props to the music director. They always have amazing music that’s just perfect for the scene that’s going on during the show. I found a site that lists all the music from the first season. Hopefully they will soon have one for the second season!

ALC posted a new video to honor the roadies. Go and check it out here.

Want to buy me something? Get me the This is why I’m hot t-shirt! I love it!

I found this cool app a while back that’s call the Google Image Ripper. I was able to find these sweet photos from it:

Grocery Store

Cool Desktop

Hot Super Heroes (Semi-NSFW)

Mmmm Football (NSFW)

Nude Heath Ledger (NSFW – Yes, I know these are OLD!)

LA’s Fault Lines… Ok, I believe we’re going to fall into the ocean after seeing this!

I love crazy modern art things… Check out this cool Gravity Bookshelf

Ok, enough randomness. Adios!

America’s Healthcare!

Oh my. It’s been a busy weekend for a boy is who broken!

So Friday I went into the office and worked. No surprises there! I got a lot of stuff done, but still feel like I have way to much to get caught up on. I must start learning our new product and learn it fast.

After work I went out with Dustin. We ate at The Veggie Grill again and then went and saw Sicko. Such a good film. I think it’s the best Michael Moore film so far! I was crying at the end of it and just sooo pissed off. After the movie we were talking to one of Dustin’s friends about it and he mentioned starting like a credit union for healthcare. That’d be a pretty cool idea! I wonder what it would take to do? I just can’t believe that healthcare is so bad here in the US. It made me want to move to the EU even more. JT? When I can I move?

We also had ice cream and saw some really gay Irvine boys. What a mess.

Came home after that and talked to Constantine for a short while. We made plans to hang out Saturday.

So Saturday I get up and head up to Santa Monica to meet him. I was just going to park my car at the office up there and then we were going to go to The Huntington. Well I got to the office and went to park… “Card not found”! WTF! The bastards canceled my parking card! πŸ™ So now I can’t go up there at all! I wonder if I can still get into the office itself.

Anyways, so we went to the Huntington and had a great time. Lots of pretty flowers and what not. But it was ungodly hot and sweaty. After that we came back to my place and showered (separately) and then hung out here and talked and watched movies. We saw this one called Fabuleux destin d’Amélie Poulain, Le. It was a very good movie. Although a little crazy and it had subtitles which we all know I hate! Apparently he says it’s famous? So if you haven’t seen it, go watch it!

Some random Asian guys came over about 8:30 and bought my camera off me. So Constantine and I went out to HTGrill to celebrate. Yay for getting money! πŸ™‚

He left here about midnight and I went to bed. Got up Sunday at 8, laid down on the couch and then woke up again at noon! What’s wrong with me!!?

Sunday evening Dan came over and we hung out. We went to Good Stuff and then watched Romancing the Stone. I didn’t really like that movie very much.

Also, it took me three years, but my bed is NO LONGER sitting on the floor! How exciting is that!

I’ve also booked a camp site at San Simeon State Park for July 27-29. Let me know if you want to go. One of the days we will be going to Hearst Castle. Should be tons of fun. And the more people we get to go the better!!

I also found this hilarious convo on bash.org. Oh you crazy religious people!

And lastly, check out this amazing coordinated dance thing:

If only marching band were more like that! πŸ™‚

Of course pictures from the weekend can be found on the photodump. Hopefully I will soon be adding more once Constantine get’s me his from his professional camera! Also, be sure to check out the other new galleries. Which include pictures of my ass, and the trucks I looked at.
