I'm back and in love once again.

It's been a long time since my last blog, but I haven't really been surfing either so I have a good excuse. After getting back from my trip up the West Coast I worked catering for a few weeks while looking for jobs. On May 12 I left for England for 10 days with my family. You can see the photos here: www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2239790&l=21bb7&id=3614440.

It was a freaking amazing trip that culminated with scattering my deceased Nana's ashes in the river where she played as a young girl. I got to have a night out with my cousins in Liverpool and observe how the English do their club dancing - I call it Shake and Mad Dog. The men stand around in a semi-circle with tough guy looks on their faces and the women dance in the circle, with each other, dressed like skanks, and somewhat coordinated with each other. I don't know if the English don't like the mix men and women on the floor, if they are timid, or just being proper as they tend to be. Veritably odd.

I got back and was only home for two nights before going to my friend's wedding in Vegas. She got Elvis to sing as she came in and as she and her new husband were pronounced man and wife. They say what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, and that Vegas is sin city - I just don't see it. They only thing that stays there is a lot of money if you gamble a lot or decide to pay a cover at a club. Luckily we had a couple hookups and didn't have to pay much to get into these lameass clubs. It was nothing I haven't seen or done at a club in Southern CA. Still, it was great being sardined into a hotel room with all the SB ladies.

Straight back from Vegas and a quick jaunt to SB for a BBQ and bowling I was at my new temp job at a Spanish language TV station near my house here in the city of angels. The people are great and it's an ideal scenario as a temp.

This weekend was my grandma's 75th birthday party at my parents' house in SD and I took the opportunity to return to surfing. I only surfed a few days the entire month of May and I was starting to go a little crazy. Needless to say, enjoying the warm water that often comes with June, along with my home break, I am in love once again. Maybe I needed some time, or maybe I was just being a dumbass, or maybe I was just not within 300 miles of an waves for most of the month. Regardless, I am once again committed to shredding to my heart's content and letting all else fall by the wayside.
