Ok so I'm not sure who came up with these first, but I just wanted to post them up for the world to see! What were we talking about? I'm not sure ... Tony and I were driving Will to the airport last Tuesday and I think Will and his propositioning techinique fell under scrutiny. Next thing we know "giggoho" and "mangina" come out. WHAT?! Well you see, Will isn't the most successful person in the world and looks the part. All his efforts to stay in the States have been thwarted by Big Brother. Talk about getting the shaft! In any case, we thought it best to relocate his profession. Hence ... giggoho! And mangina! I'm sure you are all smart enough to know which words these came from ...

Congratulations to Tim and Grace! What a huge reception! I think there was close to 800 people in attendance. I saw friends I haven't seen in years! Also, congratulations to Courtney on your recent marriage! Pics are up in the Photo Gallery. I wish I got more pics, but little Timmy liked the camera so much I couldn't take away his favorite toy!
It was good seeing everyone ... especially catching up with everyone at Tim's place. But man am I tired!!! I had little sleep with too much partying and not enough hours in a day to do everything I wanted to do!!!! But it was a fun filled weekend! Stay tuned for a race report from Big Willow!
Family and friends are hidden secrets to a happy life. The line between them gets blurred which comforts me. Why? My family is back home in San Francisco and I've been "away" from home for quite some time. So my friends are my "family away from my family". I dearly miss you all and I hope for a safe flight/drive home.

Went to Sea World this past weekend with Kaith. She loved it, but we had to leave a little early to get back home in time. The new Shamu show ("Believe!") was good, but Tony and I agree that the Marketing Department at Sea World is working overtime!
Kaith was trying on an XS helmet at BK's shop ... the day before! Check out the pics! They are so cute! She almost fell over because the helmet was too heavy. I guess that's how Jen feels when riding ... ;P Didn't get a chance to ride down, but next time! Bought a Fun Pass to Sea World so we have to go at least once more before the year is up!
Janet's BBQ was some of the best Kalbi I've had in awhile! Thanks to Janet and Jen for taking Kaith in the pool and the jacuzzi! You definitely don't want to see me in a speedo! And the pool was cold ... talk about shrinkage!
Overall the weekend was splendid and need to do it again! I miss San Diego and all their inhabitants!

Took a trip to San Diego to visit a few friends and change out tires on the motorcycle. Saw Bryant's new shop location off Miramar Road. What a nice place! The show room floor is really nice and the fact that they have a 27" TV connected to a PS2 with Tourist Trophy permanently in the drive! A big thanks to Jae for letting BK sneak out early to hang!
Tried to hit Palomar on Saturday afternoon, but it rained! Can you believe that?! I mean it rained on the way down, but it wasn't too bad! Rain, hot, and humid! Like we were in Florida or something!? Weird! In any case, got to ride around San Diego a bit ... too bad Palomar was rained out, but at least got to see Jen and Tony's bikes! And Jen, yes you did handle the R1 rather well ... but for Pete's sake! Use the left hand!!! Right hand 99% on the throttle! Can't wait to see you guys at Big Willow!
Seeing San Diego for the first time in a long time was awesome! I can't say how much I miss San Diego! Lots of things have changed, but alot has also stayed the same. I wish I could've spent more time down there, but with all good things ... must come to an end.
Someone once told me, "True friends can not see each other in a long while and behave as if time stood still until next they meet." Thanks Tony! Out of all the things that we talked about ... that has to be one of them that I hold closest to heart! There are other stories, but I can't divulge them online on a public forum ... :D
Old friends, new friends, old places, new places, familiarity, friendship ... family! It doesn't matter what stage in life I'm in ... doesn't matter where I live ... I know I'll always have a family away from my family anywhere I go. What's the true meaning of friendship? I can't tell you ... I have to show you.

So Kaith turned 4 July 20, 2006! Yeah! She had a birthday party at her new school with all her new friends. I took her to Dave and Buster's with Pauline, Tony, Pauline's kids, Carlos, and Carlos' kids. She had tons of fun. One of the balloons got stuck in the fan mechanism and one of the workers was trying to get it unstuck. Crazy! Provided 20 minutes of laughter and fun! Kaith had so much fun she crashed on the coach with her birthday balloon!

So it's finally colored in! Got the tat shaded and colored! Now all that's left is healing ... no sun or swim for at least 14 days!

Relationships are like plants. I would say flower, but that's a little cheesy. Seriously though! Relationships are very similar to plants. First you got to choose the right seed. You don't want to grow something that doesn't agree with your sinuses. Same with any relationship. Then you choose some earth and a pot. A nice home to cultivate your would be relationship. That is unless you are growing weed in your dormitory with a hydroponics setup. That would be the equivalent of tweaked out crack whore! But you could be in to that sort of thing. Pete! What comes next? Well, just enough water not to drown your relationship and lots of sun for that much needed photosynthesis! Wait a bit and see what you have created!
That only works for people with "green thumbs" like my uncle. Not the metaphor ... the real thing. He's got a huge garden in a relatively small space and he seems to have been growing plants ever since the dawn of man! Can't build a greenhouse to save his life (or his house for that matter), but that's another story!
Growing plants sounds simple? Not many steps and even children can do it. So why are relationships so much harder! I'll tell you why ... the answer to this question is very simple. Women are too damn complicated!!! Ok, I take that back ... maybe it's just me. No ... I don't want to take that back women are complicated and they take too much time to decide ... anything! That's why most men don't have "green thumbs" ...

Ok so we finally agreed on a school for Kaith. She started this week Monday and everything seems to be going well. She was a little hesitant yesterday about going to school and today she was hesitant about taking a nap, but I think things are looking good. I expect her to be a little hesitant especially during this time. But I think she will eventually like the school. She showed me the sand box (she loves the sand box) and the big slide they had. Plus, they have a catepillar! I'm excited to see her reaction when the catepillar turns into a butterfly! Another one of my daughter's favorites!
Well, I wish I took pictures at the Zoo ... but someone (TONY!) still had my camera. I will promise to take more pictures in the future. Why is it everywhere I go, I'm the only one taking pictures? That's why you don't see me in many pictures ...
