Thursday we hung out, went to lunch with my cousin...then drove to fresno...went out that night...realized i wasnt ready to be out in my town...constantly having to have conversations about what happened....the hardest is the political aspect...ive never been publicly opinionated about politics....but, after all this, ive got alot of issues...still, its hard for me to not say anything when people that are ignorant to the situation and the circumstances surrounding it, feel compelled to share their opinion. its like, "what the hell do you know?"anyway, i ended up calling it a night early and passing out at seasons....friday, i went to christians to get my car, ran some errands, went to jasons, and we were headed to big bear for the weekend. they had a snowboard comp...it took us almost 7 hours to get there(jason and i have a tendency, ok, its more like a disease, to get lost even when we have specific directions....)we checked in to our cabin late friday night...our place rocked, it was a posh log cabin, we got dolled up and headed out to the bars...jason brought his friends chad and radar....they were trashed, it was hilarious, watching them trying to spit game...i probably shouldnt have been laughing at them....but, i couldnt help it...it was too funny...saturday i nursed a gnarly hangover...the boys headed to the competition, i tried to take a nap....headed to the mountain...to find the guys already wasted...great...we had an afterparty to attend at 8pm... i basically mingled amongst the peeps at the party and made some new friends....sunday we made the drive home...got to my moms sunday night....and ive basically been chillin out here in fresno since....done a little detox...starting to make arrangements for a fundraiser to benefit the hurricane relief effort....its probably gonna be in mid october...alright, well, now yall are all caught up!! talk to ya soon!!
