Did a 50 mile bike ride today, yesterday I did nothing. I’m sooo dead today. Ok. I’m out. Nothing important going on here. Just waiting for Ben to call me. Ugh.
Wow this weekend has been busy!
Friday, Ben, Sirin and I met up with Jess in WeHo for his birthday! Had a great time at OBar and then went down the street tot his piano thing. It was a really fun night. On the way home Sirin and I got to talking and are going to try and figure out a way that we can buy our building. So all weekend I’ve been really excited about that and what not. Sadly I got online this morning and looked it up and the guy has increased the price by $600,000 for the building!! So now each unit is $325,000. 🙁 I’m not sure I can afford that much! But I’m still going to make a few calls and see what’s going on.
Saturday Ben and I got up, I dropped him off at home and went to a business meeting. After that we met up again and went hiking in Red Rock Canyon and then hung out in Santa Monica area for a while. Went back to his place and had dinner. We laid down for a 15 minute nap at like 8:30 and didn’t wake up again till 8:30 Sunday morning! Opps!
While I was out driving in LA on Saturday I found a gas station that was at $3.45 for REGULAR gas! Insane!
Sunday we got up and headed down to my place. Went for a bike ride and then hung out in RB area. Lots of crazy stuff going on at the Pier. It was an amzing weekend 80 degrees and what not. He left about 4ish and then I spent the rest of the day relaxing on the couch.
As always, photos from the weekend are up on the Photodump
Halliburton is planning on moving it’s head quarters to Dubai. I really think that if they do make this move, that EVERY government contract they have should be revoked. They have access to WAY too much sensitive information.
Remember the game You Don’t Know Jack?. Well you can now play them online! These games wasted away MANY hours of time at BSA staff camp every year! Soo fun

Time Sensitive CSS Switcher. This idea has been around for a LONG time. I remember in HS having a website that printed out “Good Morning”, “Good Afternoon” etc depending on the time. But this is a realy cool implimentation of that idea.

Omg.. SOOOO much pain from Tour De Palm Springs!
Sitting up to write this.. PAIN!
Driving in the car… PAIN!
Laying down… PAIN!
Walking… PAIN!
The weekend was tons of fun though. After work I drove out to Palm Springs and chilled with the Aunt and Uncle types. Traffic getting there was horrible. The first 80 miles was STOP…. GO… STOP.. GOO! Very annoying. And then I got lost. Ugh.
So I get there and they tell me we’re going to the club house for dinner. I didn’t bring clothes for that so I had to borrow mu uncles clothes… Straight outta the 70’s. Horrible! The food was good, they got drunk again like normal, etc…
Got done with that and went straight to bed. Got up at 5am and showered, dressed and then headed out to the bike ride.
Overall it was fun. The first 50 miles were no problem. About mile 67 I started to really cramp up, thankfully shortly after that I got a flat tire, so that gave me a chance to stop and streatch and take a break along the road. Got to the 72mile SAG stop and took my time. There was a nice grassy spot that I laid down on for a while and stretched out. By the time we got to the 92 mile SAG stop I just wanted to get the hell to the end! So the last 10 miles I really cranked it out and averaged 20mph for that part. It helped that I was following this really cute 20-something with a nice ass! 🙂
The first 20 miles took 1 hour and 20minutes, the second 20 miles took 45ish minutes…. Over all riding time was just over 6 hours. Total time on the course was just over 8 hours.
Total Miles: 102.9
Average Speed: 15.7mph
Max Speed: 46mph
I got back to the house about 4ish and showered and then laid down on the couch. We went out to dinner that night and I had some drinks. 🙂
Sunday I got up and was in TONS of pain. Drove home, which was PAINFUL from sitting for so long. And it was raining like a MOFO! Got home and spent most of the night on the couch. Ben came over and we did go out to dinner to Versailles Cuban and had a good time.
As always, photos can be seen on the photodump. And Here’s a map of the route:
Today I’m doing MUCH better, but my tail bone still hurts a ton when I sit. 🙁 I’m not sure if I should go to the gym tonight or not.
Adios.
So I was listening to the radio the other day and “It Wasn’t Me” by Shaggy came on the radio. It got to the line where the song goes:
now we were both caught making love on the bathroom floor
and instead of that it now says:
now we were both caught love on the bathroom floor
Umm. WTF?! Since when did “making love” become something you can’t say on the radio!? WHAT!? Are you serious!? This has to be one of the most ridiculous things I’ve ever heard!
So then. Friday night I was supposed to go out to Weho with people but everyone backed out at the last minute and it was just annoying. Instead I spent the night working on some stuff for one of my contract jobs and I just couldn’t get it figured out. The View is returning 4 rows and I need to take data from the two identical rows and join it together…. Well, it’s harder then that, I’m just not explaining it right. Either way I couldn’t figure it out. I went to bed about 11 and woke up around 9ish Saturday.
Got up and went to Ikea and the SouthBay Pavilion. GHETTO! Ikea was good. I spent $65 there, got a shoe rack, a rack for the bathroom, some spoons, and a huge coffee mug for the newport beach office. Came home and put things together and cleaned.
So remember the camera I lost? It’s STILL not found. I have spent 15-20 minutes every day looking for it. Today I pulled EvERYTHING off my desk, out from under my desk, out of the closets, turned the couch up side down, moved the coffee tables, I even searched through my underwear drawer!! It’s GONE. I’m really starting to think I might have thrown it away or something, but I went out and searched through the two bags of trash that I’ve taken out in the last week.. NOTHING. So now I have to find a new one. I’ve been WANTING a Digital SLR forever, but I think that’s just way too much to spend on it right now. So I don’t know what to do. I’m thining the Canon Powershot SD630. It looks like a really nice camera and I _love_ the 3″ screen! I really want to have a camera before this weekend’s ride.
I also went out and did a quick bike ride. That was good. Less then one week till my 100 mile ride.
Saturday night Robert and I hit up Weho. Had a really good time, and checked out a few boys. 🙂 Fun fun! Surpised we didn’t run into you know who. But thank god. The lines at HERE were HUGE! Something special must have been going on. Either way we had a great time. Got home about 3am and crashed.
Sunday got up and looked for my camera a little more. But there’s really no where LEFT to look, but I just know that as soon as I go buy a new one, it’s going to turn up somewhere.
Went flying in the afternoon with Jason and Carlito. We flew inland over downtown LA, up to Santa Monica, south over LAX and then back into Hawthorne. While we were flying up towards downtown LA we came within what seemed like a couple hundred feet of an Airbus A320 that was coming into LAX. They said that they were really low or what not. Either way it was COOL and scary at the same time being that close to such a huge jet.
After that Jason and I went over to Torrance Airport and talked to a guy who knows the guy who was in a plane crasha over the weekend. Pretty amazing story. Now that’s a real pilot!
Ben came over that afternoon about 3 hours after I had expected him, but either way we had an enjoyable evening talking and watching Scrubs.
Well. I had a big long post here yesterday and for some reason it got deleted when I went to save it! Ugh!
Anyways, Wed work was horrible after only getting 2 hours of sleep! I was just so not very createive and the boss was asking me to be. It was horrible.
That night Ben came over and he was very talkative and we had a great time. As I said, we watched babel. We had a good time. He’s going home this weekend, so I won’t get a chance to hang out with him again till Mondayish.
Thursday was good. Work was typical, I guess our VP was in another accident so a bunch of projects that I should have been working on, I didn’t have the information for, so nothing got done on those. Made headway on another list that I’ve been putting off for a while though. Went to the gym after work and biked for 45 minutes. I went pretty easy and it said that I burned 300 calories. I wonder how accurate that is to being moved over to the real world. Because I typically go about twice as fast as I was at the gym, and for twice as long. I wish I could have a cal/heart rate monitor for my real world biking. Maybe I’ll go buy one this weekend.
Had one of the worst dates of my life that night. It was VERY VERY awk, the guy says he’s only 27, but he looks 37. I kept trying to talk to him and he just kept giving one word answers and shit. Very annoying and stupid. I got there and like 5 minutes into it I txted Jason. “Save me!”. lol. UGH!
Trying to find stuff to do for tonight. I’ve invited 3 people out, of course they are all maybes. So yeah. Who knows. I’d really like to try and get to meet up with some of these people I’ve been chatting with online. It’s just so difficult because our schedules never mesh damnit!
I downloaded a ton of Japanese language classes from this site. So I’m going to start listening to them in the car. I’m a bit annoyed though because there’s no easy way to get them in the correct order on my iPod! For some reason it’s all messed up! I’m getting really scared for my class!
I was sent this link the other day from “Love God’s Way Ministries”:
1 – Gay Bands
2 – Safe Banks
OK. Anyone notice that A) there’s WAY more “Gay Bands” then safe bands? And B) I think there’s more ACTUAL gay bands on the “safe bands” list! haha. Stupid gay haters!
So last month my blog had TWICE the number of unqiue visitors over the month before. Kinda strange considering that from 01/06 – 12/06 there’s only about a 300+/- difference each month and then from Dec06-Jan07 the unique people doubled! It’s just a bit scary and cool at the same time. Hopefully some of those people will continue to come back! 🙂
Every day that goes by I want to txt Mayko and just say. “Are you serious”. This is really annoying.
I went to the store the other day and was carrying a big heavy box out. I opened the door and was walking out when the door SLAMMED into the back of my hand. I now have a HUGE bruise across the back of my hand and it really hurts to move it too much.
Sayonara!
