Life's Too Exciting Not to Be Awesome!
Hiking
Weekend Update: May 24th – 30th
Jun 3rd
Holy moly I thing this is my 3rd or 4th awesome weekend in a row! Went to Yosemite for a little hiking and fishing (its amazing, I didn’t even have a fishing pole in the water but I’m still a pretty good fisherman!)
I LOVE camping. These falls were amazing and the lake we stayed on and rented a pontoon boat to go fishing with was the same lake in the movie “The Great Outdoors” with John Candy. Pretty damn awesome.
Weekend update! The next! 2/8 – 14th
Feb 12th
Review
Oh man awesome week! went snow shoeing, climbing, the aquarium, Root DOWN!!! and much much more. All this right after I just saw my parents! pretty damn amazing!
Monday
Got in pretty early from my trip but I got back to work a little late because the super shuttle takes for ever! Next time I am definitely taking the Disney land shuttle.
Picked up my dresser from world market. It’s gonna be sweet!
Work went ok. But the awesome part of this day was going to the movie shoot for cannonball at mother fucking san Dimas highschool! omg awesomeo!
Met a bunch of cool people, friends of sean’s and randoms, and had a great time drinking the night away and fucking around in our undies all night in the pool
The premise of the movie / scene was that we were a bunch of highschoolers and we snuck into a country club to go swimming after a party. Met carl and some others. Frog boy was pretty funny.
Went home drunk and tired.
Tuesday
Work work work and ass tired… Ugh. Almost put together my dresser but didn’t.
Started rainig so I left my bike and went home with matt. We had some sweet lakes that we drove through! Omg water every where!
Purvis came over for some web help
Dano decided to purchase tickets. Which was awesome but hinestly how long can I last!? I’m going to fall apart soon!
Wednesday
Ok so mixed emotions today. Just found out that my collegue, mentor and close friend got laid off from our god forsaken stupid ass company! Really msc? The smartest and most brilliant person here and you decide to get rid of him?! What are you? Fucking retarded!!? Ugh fuck this company!
Ok so the end of the night went a bit better. We got to do another shoot at a skater’s sweet ass house. Met some more cool people and had a great time shooting the shit and laughuing and having a great time.
Had a greate dinner of Japanese food (which didn’t sit too well) and then jetted for home.
Thursday
Super tired. Finished my drawers. Saw sterling sulemon on vampire diaries! How cool is that?! Watched some more tv and went to the gym.
Friday
Woke up today in a super funk that I didn’t think I could possibly climb out of. I felt sooo stressed that I couldn’t really breath. It was really weird. The sticks were down, my good friend was axed. I felt pressured for no good reason. My mind was racing and I was pissed! Ugh I hate feeling like that. I took my pills and raced to work a little carelessly. I almost crashed a couple of times on my bike. But I didn’t care.
Got a breakfast burrito with serrano peppers and it was amazing. Really made my day better.
Work, I got none of you done. Instead it felt like I played words with friends forever. We got a lot done with application context however. So that was some awesome meetings.
I hated saying good bye to Boma 
Raced off to the airport! I’m finally excited about my trip. I know once I get there it will be awesome. In the air updating my weekend updates. Can’t wait to be in downtown Denver with dano. It’s going to be a great long weekend!
Bumpy ass plane ride!
I got a free drink because the server was hitting on me 
Off the plane! went straight to the Mexican resuraunt where they have wicked awesome margs!
I need to learn how to take pictures of nouns during my adventures.
Then we went to Mallonies with their oversized beers, at which point we got a ride home and left the car down town.
Saturday
Got up, found an awesome sale at patagonia, caught a cab over there from Dan’s place with a cabbie that really hated when drunk girls got into his cab and threw up every where.
Met up with a friend Dan found on the side of a 14ner and we went snow shoeing out near where we went last year. This time kona got to come a long and we had a great time tromping through the snow.
Holy shit I almost forgot about the Greatest beer in the world that I have ever tasted! I can’t remember the name right now but it was totally like “holy fuck I will blow your mind from the inside out IPA” (i think that was the name).
Watched a movie called adam, it was pretty good, about a guy with assburger syndrome.
Sunday
Went to REI for Dan’s trip to NZ, talked more about making an adventure site. Pretty good Idea I think. We saw the aquarium and decided it was a great Idea to go! All in preparation for our amazing dinner at ROOT DOWN!!
Root down! ROOT down! ROOT DOWN!! omg soooo fucking good!
Mount Whitney!!
Nov 16th
Ok so I finally got to putting up a quick post about Mount Whitney. And believe you me, that shit was awesome. From 85K to 145K we rocked it. It was super hard to make it all the way up to the top (only 2 out of the original 4 hikers made it) but it was totally worth it. Nothing like altitude sickness all night long to get you in the mood for climbing higher 
I gotta admit that this was one of the hardest Hikes I’ve done solely for the fact that we started from sea level, slept a half night at 8000 ft and then started hiking!
For now, I’m just trying to report on what we did, hopefully later I’ll have the time to come back through this post and update with some more photos and a more detailed description. If you have any questions about Mount Whitney or would like to know more, just let me know in the comments.
Mount Gorbonzo Bean!
Oct 2nd
Hey yo, went up mount gorbonzo bean the other day, fucking rediculously hard hike! alright, here’s some pics.
Haha, so I was sooo tired by the time I got to the top (I was out drinking the night before so I didn’t wake up too early). and I hear this scratching coming from my bag, and I’m all, wtf is that?! it was a greedy little chipmunk!
Fucking Chipmunk!
So below are some of my pics from the hike. Cool.

Camping in Colorado!
Oct 2nd
So Dan and I went camping in Colorado, holy moly it was like a month ago! jebus.
any way, it was awesome the lake up at the top was fucking beautiful.
We get there in the morning and we don’t have that much time! so we went up to the the ranger man, way back up behind the big part of the ranger station to a little cabin for back packers. This ranger man didn’t think we could make it up to the lake before it got dark. PSHAW!! to that I say. although it was nice getting a camp down below and not having to carry our packs all the way up to the lake. I think this is when I decided I wanted a fly fishing pole. and to be honest we just saw people fishing, not really fly fishing.
I don’t really have that much to say about this one for some reason.
This is me looking kinda happy
Dan and me.
Awesome protection from the bears, notice the sweet fortress of sticks and logs and tight rope. oh and on the tight rope there were…
ALARMS!!! yes we had a trap for any murderers.
some pics of the cool lake up at the top.
All in all a great time!
