I walked away because i didn't know how to end it

This blog i mean.

I've wanted to put up that *final* entry but i just didn't know what to type. I didn't want it to be over... but alas.

This summer was amazing. I have memories that will last me a lifetime and a renewed resolve to make it to the west coast sooner rather than later.

We ended up leaving a couple days early so i could get back and get to class. We also drove straight from Nebraska to DC on the last day. I plan to put up some more pics over the next couple of days and throw up some memories... other than that I'll be at: http://gangstamittens.blogspot.com

...

First of all my apologies for getting so behind in the blogging process. Since our time out here got shorter there just seemed to be less time for the blog. At any rate below is a compilation of just about everything we did while we were here. This trip has been amazing. The only two things left are to see my friend George tomorrow and our going away dinner... after that we get on the road for our four day trek home. Friday: Salt Lake City, Saturday: Kearney, Sunday: Chicago, Monday: DC. It's been amazing to say the very least.

BJ Presents "People Watching In Santa Monica"




Falling Behind

Ok so...

We went to LA. We took the train down which was actually quite amazing (we all know i'm not the biggest fan of flying so the train was a welcome change of pace.

We were in LA for like 2 full days and i don't feel like we slept. I don't think we took any pictures. Well I can't find any... but yeah it was a lot of fun. We hit up some clubs, did some drinking and just enjoyed ourselves. There was another incident with a white woman... she told me that BJ had "such a beautiful face." I just nodded politely and kept it moving. I just don't know what to say anymore.

Tonight we're supposed to hit up a Giants' game so hopefully i can remember to take pics.
