Well I made it safely back to Phoenix...it's actually kinda nice to be here. Maybe it's just that I don't have the stress of having to look for a job (because here, I already have one), I dunno. I got to see April, Caralynne, and Briana today so that was pretty cool. I got to my dad's house around 3:30pm. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be (driving from Colorado to Phoenix) It was kinda cool to go stay in a hotel too. I've never stayed in one alone, and I admit it...I had to sleep with the bathroom light on, (because I am afraid of the dark in unfamiliar places) Also, I don't like eating alone (in restraunts) it was totally depressing for me, but that could be due to a lot of things. I dunno. I'm tired and I wanna go to bed, Bye guys.

It’s been quite a long time since I wrote on here at all. I barely get on the Internet long enough to check my e-mail anymore. I don’t know why… so, what’s going on in my life? Well, Still no jobs out here in Colorado. Really depressing, I think I’ll just try again later, maybe in a year or so. But for now I’m going to head back to Arizona and work for my mom during tax season…any one need their taxes done? After Tax season is over (April 15th) I am gonna try to go to Hawaii for about a year and just…live.
I don’t really feel like I have much going on to write about. Usually I would have tons to write about. Christina was here the 17th- 21st of January. That was totally wicked. Matt, Pat, Crystal, Christina and I went out to go sledding (we took a blow up raft to sled in) last Saturday (the 18th) found one totally wicked hill that wasn’t right next to the freakin’ road. SO we all piled out of Matt’s car and blew up the raft (it has a foot pump). And while we were doing that there was a thought that the flat part at the bottom of the hill was water (ice) with snow on top. Anyway, Matt and I headed to the hill first. The first part of the snow was about knee deep (higher at some parts) then it was no more than an inch or two deep on the flat part. So we were walking to the hill and we get near the end of the flat part and start into snowdrifts again. My first step went about shin deep and I looked at Matt and I was like “whoa, I think my foot is wet” it felt soaked and frozen…yep, I had stepped straight thorough the ice! By then Crystal, Christina and Pat are right with us, and we’re like “F%&@ this! Lets go back. So we all head back across the flat part to the car and Crystals like “I can hear it cracking” and we’re like “shit!” so we start to spread out because every step we took you could hear the ice crack under out feet, and basically we ran back to the car deflated the raft and we ended up at the hot springs half way to Grand Junction. Afterwards we had dinner at Village Inn (which is the Denny’s of Colorado, because they are all over and I can’t even remember seeing one Denny’s) and headed back to Good ol’ Broomfield (we didn’t get back until 2am on Sunday morning, but it was totally an awesome trip.
Sunday we went to the Red Rocks, which was pretty cool it’s like an amphitheater (is that spelled right) in the rocks. There were tons of stairs there too. It was great we walked up the stairs and on the way down we slid on the railing. It was awesome.
Anyways, nothing going on now, before I leave Colorado I am going to go take a picture of this wicked waterfall that we saw up in the mountains…Oh! And last Saturday I saw a real live buffalo herd. It was awesome! Anyways…Later!

Well, I haven't written much at all!!! Yesterday was weird. Crystal and I went out toeat and part of the bill was 15.55. Crazy huh!?! It's all about 5's lately. I have someting really cool to put on the picture side of the site "Nothing Yet" but I have to get the pictures developed first. I'll tell you guys when it's up. You'll love it I'm sure...aren't you just fiendin' for it now? hehehe.
Anyways...not much going on lately. I heard that Van's Skate Park is hiring... I hope they call me...please please please!
Joe's keys' don't work too good, so I'm gonna go. (that's where I am now. Joe's house... Joe is Pat's Cousin...Pat is Crystal's Boyfriend.) Later All. I love you Lani! :) Bye

my throat hurts! I think I'm getting sick. :( Crystal and I had a sleep over last night! hehehe. She snores WAY too loud. hahhaha.

Today is the 5th! it's my number, 'cuz I'm 5 (@5.7.9@) and I talked on the phone to Lani today and half an hour after I got of the phone with her I looked to see how long we talked and it was 55:55! Isn't that freakin' Crazy?!? anyways...Later!

yeah, that movie was weird! (Clockwork Orange) tonight we are gonna watch another movie :) ( Moulin Rouge) I've seen it before but Crystal hasn't, so we rented it. It's cool, I think my favorite part is when they sing. :) I told Crystal that the next movie we rent should train spotting. It was a weird movie, good (and at some parts funny ~in a kinda Gross way~) but very weird.
Pat and Matt are cooking for us right now. Last night Crystal and I made the BEST spaghetti, we did the sauce on our own too, not the out of the jar stuff, and the bread turned out freakin awesome! We made our own garlic bread! All we did was buy a loaf of fresh bread. It was so yummy! And we sat at the table like a "civilized family" hehehhe, it was fun! All right I'm gonna go hang out in the other room! Bu-Bye! :) :-p

Hey what's up? not much here. I'm writing this like a note. :) anyways today is (was) good. I talked to my dad on the phone and when we hung up he said "I love you" I always wanna cry when he says stuff like that. I love him so much. Anyways I had a big long talk with crystal tonight. for like an hour and a half, it didn't feel like that long. she's definetly my best friend in the wide world. I seriously love her like a sister. My Big sis (huh 7?) anyways we are gonna go watch a fucked up movie (clock work Orange) Later. Lani I miss you, call me when you get your cell. And STINA is coming !!!!! YAYAYAYAYYAY!!!!!

I love living here with her because it's like we can have "girl talk" anytime. She's always there for me. I love you man!

Holy iSht! I can't believe it's 2003! I know I'm gonna fuck it up when I write on papers...I'll probably still write 2002. Last night was cool I got FUCKED up!....yeah I was pretty wasted. Good way to ring in the New Year. And lucky me NO hangover! woohooo! Crystal & I are gonna make Laulau (Yummy!) tonight...or try. :) okay we are going to the store...the Oriental store. Bu-bye!

Wow! It's been 4 days since wrote on here...That's my record, I think. I dunno. I leave to go home to Colorado tomorrow morning. Cool huh? Christmas was great. I ended up staying in Phoenix for two extra days so I could go see Lani in Tucson, but I didn't even get to do that. Kinda Shitty. Hopefully I'll get a chance to see her when she has spring break. Oh I got to go to California on Thursday and got new shoes!......Long story I'll write it later. Bye gotta go My friend is here! Bye!

So, I'm home now, I tried calling my swim coach and got his voice box, I think I should have left a message...but I didn't, I'd rather talk to him, so I'll call back on the 26th. I hope he doesn't think I quit.
The bus ride to Phoenix was really long, it was supposed to be only 21 (HA! only!) hours but it ended up being around 23 hours. It's cool though I made some really neat friends. It's weird how you just talk to people on bus rides. I can't believe I am doing that again in 3 days! agggghhhhh! oh well. I'm really glad I got to come home for Christmas, it would have been nice to have a white one but I have plenty of time for that later in life. :)
I just got off the phone with my aunt in Hawaii, I got to talk ot her for about 40 minutes, which is cool I haven't seen her in about a year and before that it had definetly been a while. I got her address though, so now I can write to her. I love writing letters...pen pals are fun, (aren't they 7?) hahahah. Anyways I'm gonna go now...gotta give Santa some time to slip down the chimney. Night guys...Breathe Deep & Merry Christmas!

My life IS crazy...2 days until Christmas, and I will be home for it. Expensive...but I'll be home. I gotta call my swim coach and tell him. bye.

I feel good right now. I really like this swim team so hopefully everything will work out. yesterday we swam about 4,500meters. And my muscles are killing me, but it's good. It snowed on my way to practice yesterday! It actually snowed starting at 2pm until around 7:30pm where I live, it didn't snow in Denver though...at least not that I could tell. Well I am starving right now so I am gonna go grab some food! Bye Bye!

Well I went to swim practice yesterday...I almost threw up like 3 times. But I didn't. For the warm up we swam 300m swim, 200m kick, and 100m pull. After that we did 50mx8 freestyle, then 25mx25 butterfly, then 1000m Individual medley, then another 1000m Individual Medley, and a 200m cool down. Yeah, it was tough...I'm not sure if the hardest part is the fact that I haven't had a real practice in so long or the mile high altitude. I'm totally gonna be ready for nationals when we get to it. I have 5.5 months to get ready.

Okay, so I talked to the new team. They are looking for a new coach because one of theirs is leaving. Here is how it could work: I coach for them and in return they give me a scholarship to be in the club. It's the only way I could ever afford a club like that...it's $2,400/year! I'm sorry but that's insane. Hopefully I get the job, then it's about 8 hours of my week and they pay for me to be in the club. That would be nice, anyways today I go back and they are gonna let me practice with them, and I'll get to talk to the head coach. I'll head there around 3:10ish.

well that swm team probably won't work out...I know it's been a few days, I just haven't been able to get on-line. Well, that team sounded great, but they want me to pay for the whole year up front, I can't afford that. Because I am a non-residnt the price would have been $625/year (which is actually $2/month cheaper than gauchos) and the price is going up Jan. 1st. Pretty shitty huh? well Ihave another team lined up that I am gonna check out. I have two of the coaches numbers up on my white board. Oh and I'm extatic! I got 3 letters from Adam today! well tah-tah-for-now! I'm gonna go take a shower!

Okay, well I'm going to go check out a swim team right now...crazy huh? it's 36 degrees out and I wanna go swim (in an out door pool!) !!! I just can't stay away, All I'm gonna do is watch thier practice and talk to the coach. But maybe he'll let me start even though I can't pay yet...in that case I am going prepared. I've got my suit on and towel ready. :) Bye!

Life is good! hahaha....I'm on the phone with my step-mom. :) hehehe I got a new phone! Well, new to me (which is all that matters!) I like it, it's pretty! And I took our movies back today. Let's see what else did I do? Uhhh...Look for a job...that's about it, but hey! it's still early. :-p...Bye bye!

Oh, Yeah...AOL Blows! hahaha...I can't type in any AIM window or anything....Stupid AOL! (maybe it's just becasue it's the AIM Express Version...So I don't have to download anthing, I don't like downloading on other peoples computers.)

I'm supposed to head home in 6 days, for Christmas...I can't believe it's that time of the year already. It seems like last Christmas was only a month ago. Goes to show you how fast the year can pass. Since last Christmas I have accompished what? I have gone through the EMT-Basic course in college and gotten my EMT certification, I have taken my first written test with a Fire Department (And gotten an Interview!!!) , I have worked in the Glendale Fire Department. I was an Assistant Manager at a pool, and also the Head Coach of a Swim Team. (Any More???) I had reconstructive Surgery on my Achillies Tendon, Taken Wildland Firefighting Course, ummm... Ended a Three Year Long Relationship...Oh And I MOVED out of State! I wonder what will happen next year...Pretty Good for a 19 year old huh?

Monday...today, I actually like Mondays, the beginning of a new week. My horoscope (like I believe that BS) this week says that my "work" luck is an "A" so I should be able to get a job! hahah, But it also says I should avoid Libras...almost everyone in this house is a Libra. I'm gonna hide from them!
