I haven't been in my hometown of Woodinville, WA since Christmas break and it was really great to get back and see some family and friends. But my week at home went by before I knew it, and now I am back in my second home of Calabasas, CA. My week in Woodinville started off a little rocky with my trip to the Sounders vs. Galaxy game (aka The Game That Shall Not Be Mentioned Ever Again). Needless to say what would be my Sounders home game was really quite depressing. But after the game, I met up with a friend who I haven't seen in almost a year and we had a really great time. I don't think that I have laughed that much in a good long time.
The rest of my week was pretty laid back with lots of sleeping in and relaxing (having a cold for some of the week helped that a little). Then sadly it was my last full day...and it went almost the same way as my first full day went...with the taking in of a Sounders game, this time from the comfort of my own home. Thankfully this time they won. Afterward I chilled out with my parents watching a movie and having some dinner. That part of the day was pleasant. However, this other part wasn't so pleasant...mostly frustrating and disappointing. To protect certain people from looking like tools, I'm going to speak in hypotheticals...meaning this may or may not have happened to me yesterday.
Let's say you have a friend who says earlier in the week that they might have an opportunity to come by and see you on your last night in town. This sounds exciting to you and you look forward to it. Then, on your last day, you never hear from this friend or know whether they are coming down. So, after a while, you come to the realization that they aren't coming and go on with the rest of your day, like having dinner and watching movies with your parent
s. Later, like almost midnight later, this same friend texts you asking if it is okay if they can stop by to see you. You say, "Sure", and then get all excited again and stay up to wait for them. However, just an hour later they get back to you saying that they can't make it because they have been drinking and can't drive. Now, you're really ticked off...and it's one in the morning, which doesn't really make matters better. Talk about an emotional roller coaster. Like, WTF! Before you know it, some harsh words are sent through text messages and you don't hear from this friend again. Now you just feel like sh*t. Blahhhhhh. Now...HYPOTHETICALLY...if I had a chance, I would totally apologize to this friend for being kind of a beezy about this whole situation. So...I'm sorry hypothetical friend from this somewhat hypothetical situation.Another thing that this kind of hypothetical situation can teach a person like me is that when it comes relationships regarding those of the opposite sex (friend of otherwise) I need to hope for the best and expect the worst. I'm not really sure why, but males always find a way of letting me down, yet I keep giving them another chance. I don't know, man. My girl Adele (in her second appearance on this entry) knows what's up.
Fast forward to today...and I have to go back to California (here we comeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!). But before I go to the airport, I have to watch my boys from FC Barcelona totally dismantle Valladolid as they clinch yet another La Liga Champions trophy. I feel like Barca's success this year is a real testament to how hapless Real Madrid is. I mean, you guys went out and spent hundreds of millions of dollars (or euros, whatever) so you can great acquire players like Kaká and Ronaldo (who is a huge douche pansy) and you STILL can't win La Liga. I laugh in your general direction...HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Messi...MAGIC!!!
Messi...MAGIC!!!After the Barca rout, I had to leave to the airport. I said my goodbyes to my parentals
(sad face) and then headed to my gate. Unfortunately I was over in the N Gates, which meant I had to travel on the train that the have at Sea-Tac in order to get to my gate. Such an unnecessary hassle. I walk over to my gate...and of course there is no place to sit. I sit my ass on the ground and do some web surfing on my phone (long live iPhone!!!). I could see our plane from the window and I was amazed to see that it strongly resembled a copper river salmon. I boarded my plane and got settled into my window seat. Luckily, the guy sitting next to me was kind of cute. Unluckily, he was sick and slept for most of the flight. Not like I would have gotten the nerve to talk to him. I then engulfed myself into my vampire novel 
(so sue me!) and the flight went by in no time. Before I knew it, we were touching down at LAX. I got to get off the plane early because I was sitting near the front, meaning that I had a chance to get to baggage claim before everyone else. I said hello to the smiling Kobe Bryant Face (left) that greets everyone as they head to baggage claim and then claimed my baggage. Now I just had to wait for the ever reliable Primetime Shuttle. It came and picked me up, but also happened to pick up a dad with his annoying two year old. I mean, get a handle of your spawn before you get in a car ride with me, please!!! And of course, traffic was absolutely gawd-awful and it took for ever to get to Calabasas. But, alas, I finally made it home, in time for me to write in my blog. Gahhh...such a long day. Now time to get some din then hit the sack so I can get up early and head into the Belly of the Beast (Fox News) in the morning. Yay!!!
