"Turbol" Canyon

This Saturday was kicked off really early. Aiden, Nicky, and I woke up at 6:30 to get ready for a bike ride up Turnbull! It's weird though because when I tell my body I need to wake up, I wake up at least 5 minutes before my alarm. It's always sweet and I'm never as tired when my body does it on its own. Anyway, we woke up, made a quick smoothie, got ready, and took off.

It was pretty chilly at first, but as we got up to the base of the mountain it got nicer. Nicky and I were expecting it to be like a Lord of the Rings adventure but it seriously took us about 30 minutes to get to the top. On the way up we saw some 50 year old asian guy in a fast car zoom up and down about 5 times. I personally believe he was on some sort of drugs and had not slept all night. That's just my theory though.

Near the top, we got some sweet photos and then went down the other side to get Julian! Aiden pooped at his house and then all 4 of us took Colima back into Whittier. That hill is really fun. If you catch the green light at Mar Vista you can coast through the whole thing.

For breakfast we went to Panera and got bagels. The CINNAMON CRUNCH BAGEL is the best bagel I've ever had in my entire life. I will for sure be going more often. We cruised back to Aiden's after that and got my stuff to go home.

All in all, it was a really sick morning. Biking is amazing and I seriously don't ever plan on getting tired of it. I love it!

Give Me Novacaine..

I am currently typing with complete lack of feeling in the lower left half of of my face. Not that it has any effect on my ability to type, but I just thought I would blog about it.

I went to the dentist this morning and found that i had 7 cavities. Yes.. SE-VEN. WTF? Anyway, he gave me a double shot and went to work on half of em. I get the same thing every time I go there, which is, "You should be flossing more often." ...and I'm not gonna lie, I don't floss as much as I really should. It's so easy to forget about it. But come on, does everyone really floss religiously each day? There is barely even any commercials on TV about flossing. I guess big brother has done a bad job about teaching my generation and I about it.

Floss was always the tooth brush's fat side-kick on every cartoon. Sometime he/she/it was just an inanimate object that the tooth brush used to lasso the cavities.. Alls I'm saying is I didn't realize how important it really was. I know now that if I don't want to be drilled on anymore that flossing more often would be a good idea.

Now that I think of it actually, I really saw floss as an alternative to toothpicks.. hahahah wow.

As I sign off, I'm going to attempt to drink some coffee and get some reading in. I gotta finish this book before friday because thats when the movie comes out and I'm pretty stoked on it. (the movie/book is CHOKE)

PEACE!

Jacket Weather..

I'm really feelin' the sudden change in weather. It's pretty cool how it literally 180'd in less than a week. I hope its not just a fart in nature though.. It better stay like this, or I'll.. I'll... WRITE A LETTER! A VERY STERN LETTER!

It's time to dust off my hoodies and start drinking hot coffee again.

WHOS WITH ME?

One reason among millions..

Isn't it so sick how one album or just one song can be the soundtrack to a chapter in your life?

It can bring you back that month or few weeks where you first discovered it and from there on out, every time you listen you get sucked back in time.

It's like I'm Michael J. Fox and my iPod is my Delorean. EXACTLY like that.
Well, this just one reason among millions on why music is amazing.

The Coffee Bean and ME.

In the last few months, I've been strolling to The Coffee Bean for all of my caffeinated desires.. In this time I realized that this place completely tears apart Starbucks. Everything from their Coffee, Espresso, Ice Blended Drinks and Teas completely one.. no ,ten-ups Starbuck's equivalents.

The atmosphere is way more mature and calm. Starbucks just feels so cookie-cutter, corporate, fast food, steril, and many other things. Their "baristas" only have to press a button for espresso and a machine does it all. How lame. The Bean just seems so much more genuine. Its obviously also corporate, but not as corporate. haha..

..This might not be that lame to you. I might be the lame one, but I seriously like coffee A LOT. I know a lot about it and maybe if I ever have the money, I'll open a coffee shop. A REAL ONE.

That'll be the day.

What do you stand for?

Today, I had a lot of time to think. I came home and wrote this in my journal..

09/02/08 1:26 PM

"I want to stand for something. Be it God, Humans, Animals, Law, Government.. Anything. Well, not necessarily anything at all. It has to be something I feel strongly about and can really relate to. I don't want to be another apathetic young teenager. An AMERICAN. I want to believe in something because I look around me every day and all I see is iPods and big rims.. Hair-Dos and Venti Lates.. Don't get me wrong though, anyone can enjoy these things but it seems that this is all my generation cares about. I don't want to be consumed by consumerism. Every day people would rather watch reality tv than inform themselves on whats happening in our world. I'm not saying I'm not guilty, but at least I can acknowledge it. I'm not going to be a blind sheep. I have to become active and keep learning everything I can."

Basically, I'm sick of not caring. I want to know why things are the way they are.. I don't want to live and die. I want to live for something.

Maybe I sound dumb, but It's my blog and its what I've been thinking about latley.

been a while..

It's been a while since I've blogged, but that's because i don't even know who reads it! I'll post anyway for the people who creep and don't comment. I actually don't have much to at this moment besides that I have a big show coming up on Wednesday, September 10. Who cares if you have school, because I have a show! COME.

We've NEVER played Chain before and that place is really sick.
We'll have NEW merch and everything.. GO OR DIE. (MUSICALLY, THAT IS..)
