I feel sick to my stomach.

This weekend was just nuts. It’s the only way to describe everything that happened. I realize this is a HUGE update so trust me, stick with it. Tons of good stuff inside! Friday, October 28Mitch and I left Clovis around 10:30 in the Jeep and made pretty good time. Thing is, we wanted to leave [...]

In just a short while, road trip through the Bay Area with stops at Berkeley, Oakland, San Francisco, and Palo Alto. Foo Figthers + Weezer, UCLA and Stanford. Good times await. Full wrap up when I return to Los Angeles. On a totally unrelated note, Fresno is DAMN COLD! 45 degrees when I woke up! [...]

The week has been pretty damn good given just how nuts busy I have been. Monday was packed as usual. Imagineering thankfully ended early, but it was a good lecture by the guy who was the head of Hong Kong Disneyland which just opened in September. Even had a bit of time that evening to [...]

Bruin Debate would return strong and I for the first time ever would debate representing UCLA. Boy did it feel good. I woke up around 5:30 to shower, suit up, and get Starbucks before 6am. I needed fuel (can you say ‘Peppermint Mocha’). Met up with the team down at the bus turnaround where I [...]

It seems like I slow down for nothing. It’s been a few days since a blog update (wow, almost a week!) so I have a lot to cover. This week was pretty busy, as aparent via my lack of blog updates and my first sentence of this update. In Student Government, we worked hard at [...]

I’ll really try to make this brief, because outside of a very select (but very cool) group of you who actually pay attention to sports, you all don’t care. UCLA made its return to the BCS today at #9. We’re right on the outside, looking in at one of the four games. I have a feeling [...]

Last night’s cocktail party was a blast. I love the weather today. Slightly overcast and it’s put me into a reflective/happy-but-down mood. Translation: I’m now down on myself. No reason. Well, there’s probably something. But no real catalyst other than the weather. Did the grocery store. Food is too expensive. I bought a pumpkin pie. [...]

Bruin Football is intense. Hell, we’ll just say the whole college game is. I’ve felt for a while that its more exciting than the NFL and I think this past weekend illustrated that. Southern California narrowly beating Notre Dame, Cal loses one at home to Oregon State (Nooo!) and of course, UCLA’s overtime victory in [...]

It’s been that kind of week where everything seems to drag on. Monday was too long. Tuesday was just the second coming of Monday and Wednesday had me ending my evening with a quick drive from Los Angeles to Fresno for a doctors appointment earlier today. So now I’m at work and I’m just counting [...]
