The California Sun Has Sunk

Well, I'm back in the Cut. I made my two and a half week venture to San Diego to spend some time just kicking about and enjoying the summer and I must say it was more than I had expected. In the time I spent there I was able to get some cool things done: went hiking, hit up some beaches, went up to LA, went to the Casino and a few other miscellaneous adventures. I'd like to thank Brettt and Pat for being some awesome hosts, they really know how to make a good time happen out in Cali. Also, while doing all the things that I had hoped to in Cali I met some cool people which is always good. My time there really has made me reconsider moving out there, by the time came for me to come home I had already felt at home in San Diego and I'd liked to thank everyone for making that happen. It wasn't until I got back that I realized how crazy the weather here is, it seems almost absurd how hot and how cold it can get here while it is almost consistantly a beautiful day there. Let it be known, if you enjoy doing things outdoors, SD is the spot.

I got a chance to go see the premier of The Simpsons movie and as a lifelong fan I more than enjoyed it. To anyone who watches the show or considers themselves a Simpsons fan past or present, my recommendation to see it has been offered. I suppose I could go on about all the different stories from California that I have, but that would take a while and then what would I have to talk about in person. Actually, when you think about it, it seems like the internet can change the importance or necessity of a conversation all together. In theory, I could say all that I need to right here, just type until I had nothing else to talk about, and anyone who is interested could read it and never need to talk to me, or know me at all for that matter. Oh well, just a random observation but I guess its something to think about. I'm planning on buying a new bicycle and trying to get a few things done in the next couple of weeks but I do need to go back to work too.

I don't have any pictures from Cali, I don't own a camera, so you're going to have to trust me that I actually went.

I stumbled across this site one day and have been playing around it with it for a while. It's a group art project where using several different graffiti art supplies, and limited paint, you can start a project to have finished by other people online and I believe you can finish someone else's started project. The process leads to a collection of pieces with several inspirations and creative interpretations. The site is http://www.wetpaintpleasetouch.com and can now be found with the other links I have listed. Also added to the links page is a friends of mine's new site The Retrospective, http://www.theretrospective.com, which is filled with constantly updated indie music news, interviews, and album reviews. The people behind this project are all very talented and creative so go ahead and check it out.....I dare you.
