Slacker McSlackeyPants has not checked this website in AGES (yeah, that's right, that's me). But anyway, I can relate to you both on the missing home front. Remember when I moved to Fresno? Yeah. Same thing. I wanted more than ANYTHING to be able to drive over to my friends' places and watch a movie. It never happened, though. And while we got down here occasionally for day trips (read: getting home at 3am for work in the morning) when we got a car, nothing in Fresno could replace what I could only find here in B-town. Maybe my first mistake was looking for some way to replace it, eh? What's nice about the separation though is that it really forces you to realize how much these everyday fixtures in your lives actually mean to you. I make way more of an effort now than I ever used to, and even when there is insanity happening in all of our lives, we've got the net to keep us all together (lame, but true!). Even here in our little armpit of California we've got empty spots. I've never found anyone that I can sit and giggle hysterically with quite like Chris and Alyssa. Crystal is still my best bitching-buddy, even from 300 miles away. But you know, I probably would have never noticed had we not done so much city-hopping after high school. So in that respect, it's good. We all still share the love. Bakersfield, LA, Fresno, or San Diego can't take that away. So does this mean we're doing Vegas this year? :) Wow.

Anyway... I know you all keep thinking that I finally got out of Bakersfield. But the truth is I miss it a lot. It’s been a year and I still call it home. I miss the familiarity, I miss working at Delano, but most of all I miss the people. There is not a day that goes by where I don't think about my Bako- peeps (and yes Crystal I’m including you in “Bako- peeps” so deal with it). I miss you guys so much. I miss going over to see Chris's family when I'm bored as hell. I miss Mom's cookies; I miss making fun of Chris with Dad; I miss playing dominos, monolopoly, or whatever game with Art and Rose. I miss listening to Joe talk about the latest nerd thing or KR (I wish I was around to get to know you better you seem like such an awesome person). I even miss living with Anthony. I miss staying up late drinking and talking about the most intimate details with Anthony and JD. I miss doing really weird things (like Toe-Foo Fish Face and being road kill at Halloween) with Crystal. I miss running into Paul at Wal-Mart or where ever, and talking for a half-hour, saying I have to go, then talking for another half- hour. I miss bullshitting about everything with Linda. And I miss going over to Nacho’s house and talking to his mom (I always loved the way she calls me meja) and sister right before falling asleep on his couch. This isn’t to say LA isn’t without its charms, but I am defiantly having a hard time adjusting. I don’t know what I’d do if I didn’t have Chris here with me… But I guess at this point I wouldn’t be here with out him.  Well I guess that’s it--- is it a bad sign when my comment is almost as long as the blog post in the first place? Am I trying to take over Chris’s blog or what? So I was going to reply to this a long time ago, but it’s stupid why I didn’t, so I’m not going to explain…
Anyway…

I hope you get a more steady job. That's what I'm looking for too, but it has to work around my school schedule. Miss you guys! :) I totally agree with you on the death cab for cutie itunes session.

Either way, you're one of the people that make the move totally worthwhile. Now if only we didn't live 60 miles away from each other. I guess this is just a case of the right post at the right time?

People are just a little more cold...a little more "asshole-ish". I guess there are times where i find myself being a dick here and there. To be honest.....i just get tired of negative energy around me....it doesnt help me what-so-ever. Most of the time i think how to turn alot of my negative energy around me into positive motivation. Remember this....the only constant in life is "change" and "death"......sorry to be so dark. I think your move to SoCal is just another chapter in your life where you are moving on. These rites of passage are here to make us great.....and you're daring to be great. We all go thru changes and phases.....even tho they can be awkward at times. At the very least.....you met some cool people down here (i hope...only you really know that)......I really dig this post dude......your right....love people.....i need to tell that to myself more often.....thats including certain ppl in drumline as well.....to be honest...this is the right stuff for me to be reading right now. You are wise beyond your years bro....stay the same and be how you are.....whoever doesnt like like....send them to me....i'll bash some balls. LOL. I will continue to try to make my voicemails more entertaining...... See you on the field.....sidenote to Alyssa.......(YOU ROCK MY SOCKS!!!..so does chris ;-) ) Its so funny to read this blog and somehow i feel the same way about Southern California….I remember thinking to myself that i really do think that there is something in the water down here.
