RJK 5000

hi.  tired and something else.

met up with jlee, lila, and mikey at the chi chi bar in glendale.  gossip and catchup.  they are wonderful people, these friends of mine.  i broke jlee’s fishing pole right after i said, “i hope it didn’t break in my trunk.”  i felt so bad but we laughed about it.

i’m at my mom’s house right now.  about to take a nap before i wake up at the crack of dawn to get this holiday weekend party started.  i’m getting out of la and getting in over my head.  but i like it.

spent time with my family.  it was so relaxing and nice.  i chilled on the couch after dinner and watched television.  my mom was super nice to me and taking care of all my needs.  it totally felt like those weekends or holidays i’d come home from college when she would just be happy to have me there.  now that i’m all smart and college-educated, i know she knows that i know she knows that i know i’m the one who is happy to be there.

I took an online survey today where the answer choices were:

• Single
• Married
• Divorced
• Refused

Yeah, I thought it was rad too, but they just meant “refused” in regards to answering the question.  Many of my friends and family members are getting engaged, married, having children, or getting divorced.  i’m refusing all of those conditions right now.

oh, don’t get me wrong.  one of these days i’m going (with somebody) to the deserted island to chill and eat coconuts all day.

exhausted again.

after work i wanted to take a nap but i watched a short clip of the great tom penny and felt inspired to go skate.  unfortunately, there were too many bmxers rolling up and down my favorite banks so it wasn’t that fun for me.  and of course i got ankle chopped and heel bruised while doing nothing rad.  one of these days i’ll have a good skating day again.

i was too tired to make it to kung fu class and the ledge spot.  just a night of nothing i guess.

i feel kind of weird right now and not in a rad way.  i’m looking forward to seeing my family tomorrow.  not so much because i miss them, but because i think i need them for some secret reason.

man, pretty exhausted!

after work i hit up the skatepark but i was so tired i could not bust any of my staple tricks.  i must have looked like the biggest poser, but i don’t even care anymore.  afterall, i am the mayor, and it was just cool to chill with the homies.  randy was shredding as always.  some little kid on a razor asked me whether he is a champion skater.  i said yes.  that same kid asked me why i skate if i’m a girl.  i told him i’m not a girl, i’m a woman.  and then he was scared of me after that.

i lounged in bed and did some work for work.  just to catch up on a few things before the holiday weekend.  it was actually kind of relaxing copy editing in bed.  i didn’t get enough done though.

i need a vacation.  and one day of rain.  i want to be ready for fall.  chopak said i’ll be fine.

happy sunday.

lounged by the pool for a quick minute.  soon i will have to take care of some business, hopefully in time to get a skate in with ricks.

kicked it with the most adorable sneakerhead last night.  he made me a delicious dinner and then we took a taxi cab into town.  i drank maker’s mark and redemption rye.  oh, and a delicious witbier.  i have a feeling this dude just might be a keeper; he couldn’t get himself to buy me a budweiser. but who knows about these things anymore!

i want to eat pho and take a nap.  but i might skate and do work for work, which would be great too.  enjoy your life.

received <(1/2) 11:38am> A very sweet heart felt card! thank you jenny kimitz, i love you too! be good and i’ll be sending you pic’s of me with my shirt off first thing in the morning very soon.

received <(2/2) 11:38am> if ever you are riding your skateboard and need some inspiriation wait for a gust of wind and it will assist you in the momentum you need to make you launch. the rest should auto-pilot from there.

went to gabe’s going-away party tonight at the brewery.  so cool that everyone came together to wish the homie nothing but the best in nyc.  the og sac krew was in full effect.  even don ricks came through.  things are not going to be the same around here.  i will miss gabe for sure.

i took pickle (my favorite 16-year-old) with me to the party.  and yes, i bought him beers.  chopak’s hot sister and i went up to the bar to buy another round, but the bartender asked us if pickle was with us, and if he had id.  we said maybe and we didn’t know.  he kicked pickle out.  haha.  it was okay and i was kind of glad to have a reason to leave the party early.  i love all those people, but i need to rest up for the sake of my own life.

tomorrow.  looking forward to hanging out with the most adorable sneakerhead.  i’m just going to accept the fact that i deserve to be happy.

had dinner with tweet tonight.  i guess after all these years she and tim are to be married.  i know this is what she has been wanting for a long time so i was happy to hear the news.  i like couples who manage to stay together since the time we were not who we are now.  jemie & weston.  karim & dana.  me & jack.  we are for real.

tweet reminded me that when it comes to boys i could just go out and get what i want.  sounds simple enough.  hmm, all right, well, i want the nice boy who is rad and weird in all the right ways to be for real.  is that simple enough…

the weekend!  already.  yay.  you should…get ice cream from baskin robbins and eat it there, buy sunscreen, and take a gander at the ocean.

and call me in the morning.

tired, distracted, and floating on.  the last time i felt like this i thought someone was playing some kind of joke on me, but it was just the universe playing a game.  i lost that one, wouldn’t even hook up the rebate, but i’m down for a rematch.  yeah, i got heelflips, but this ain’t s-k-a-t-e.  haha.  aren’t we all tired of the game.

it was so nice to see my family tonight.  the usual gossip and laughter.  i mean it’s still just me spilling all the beans (about you) and doing all the chortling, but it’s cool.  they don’t have to like each other ever again.  i will still be very happy.

i guess i should try to get some sleep.  tomorrow should be just fine.

feels like i’m fighting off a cold or something.  maybe i’m losing my raging skillz.  i had to buy some airborne today after work.  as bogus as that stuff is, i think it’s working!

i went to the skatepark for the over-thirty sesh but nobody was there.  so i went to the other skatepark and skated with all the youngsters.  it was a short session since i got there late and it was getting dark.  my phone rang while i was still at the park so i lied in the grass using my skateboard as a pillow and talked to a dear faraway friend while staring up at some stars.  highly recommend doing that the next time you’re on the phone.  even better if they tell you they love you.

i need to clean up around here and figure some more stuff out.
