I am going to catch a Shark this weekend



The view from the house



        I have a Bachelor Party to attend to this weekend. This is one of the 1st real ones I have ever been on. I have attended a couple but I usually don't end up staying for the whole thing. But this one is for Nate Trivers, my sister's fiance, so I am going all out. We are going to go to Santa Cruz for the weekend and staying in a great beach house that was bought by Lloyd Bridges for his sister. It's called the Sunny Cove Retreat. It looks great and I am excited to be right on the beach. This will be two weekends in a  row that I have been able to stay on the Coast. Last weeks trip was in the 60's , but this one should be a little warmer, hopefully.

        Something I am truly excited for is the chance to go Deep Sea Fishing. I have never been so it could be a puke fest for me but I am excited nonetheless.  I have been talking about it for weeks. I am catching a Great White Shark. Say what you want but when I get that thing on my line I am going for it all. No catch and release here people. When I do land it I will tell my girl to clear a space in our 725 square foot house to mount my monster shark. Hopefully our boat doesn't end up like a scene out of Jaws. Have a good weekend everybody and hopefully I will have some fish stories to tell when I get back.

The Fair is Back in Town

That's right people. The California State Fair is back in Sacramento for a magnificent two weeks. It starts this weekend.  If you want to see the true weirdos that California holds than the State Fair is your best bet . I try to go every year and since I have been with my lady we try to go a couple of times during the two week span. One trip is usually strictly for food and the other will be for the concert series.

 We had our very first date at the State Fair and witnessed MC Hammer absolutely murder it up there. It was a great show and it makes you realize that the world's greatest entertainers can put on a show anytime and anyplace. I spent two hundred dollars on twelve dollar beers but if you saw my lady it was all worth it. I think I was hungover for two days.

               The food is by far the best thing going on at the fair. it's not so much the Alligator or Elk Sausages. It's more about the Turkey Legs, Funnel Cakes, and Miller High Life. There are very few venues nowadays besides the Fair that will allow you to enjoy all of these food in one place and not be chastised by your peers. I recommend taking an antacid before and don't bring anyone on a diet.

 The Fair is for everyone but not everyone is made for the Fair.

Growing into your own

It is that time of year that reminds you that the days of Summer Vacation are long gone. Riding your bike around and having nothing to worry or care about has since passed. I remember when summer was the season to cause trouble. You hung around friends from different schools, went on different road trips, and experienced different activities, whether forced to do so or not. You were turned from a school kid to a savage that ate anything, rarely wore shoes and would swim anytime, any place . Those were the days .

Now I have work. Year round. What the fuck is a vacation? The second you take one you are labeled the lazy one, especially in a self employment environment. Can you tell I am self employed? Well nowadays they say it is much better to have a job than have nothing at all. And I completely agree with that statement.

But as we get closer to summer I always believe that one day I can just say "Fuck It" and ditch everything for a nice long summer vacation with me and my girl. It's true we would sing songs and try to bug each other into submission, but we would be off for the summer and try to enjoy every minute of it. And that is why I work every week of the year. For the chance to have a summer vacation one day.
