long weekend

This past weekend felt longer than 3 days in many ways, in part because each day came with it's fair share of variety in terms of experiences. From the drastic turnabout of going from work in LA to on the town with friends in the City, to the bar fun of watching a Michigan game into a nite of slightly dressed up fun...and on and on. The theme of the weekend was diversity in a way...getting to see friends of all sorts [old, new, high school, law school, etc.]

On to the highlights...

• Etiquette and the funny role it played in my weekend
• "Love will solve all your problems, Love will only let you down."
• karaoke and Deefs just owning the spot
• my friend's couch
• the start to college football season at Blue Light...even if the result wasn't what was hoped for, good to be back at it and also surrounded by friends
• new shoes [not sure how much I like them just yet]
• "fucked up"
  
• the Entourage poster that made Los rally
• Los: Is wiener? of ice?"
  
• "The girl who danced with me the most was the most beat one."
• butt juice cabbie [dood was creepy...hope Ed got where he was going ok with that guy]
• Safeway's fried chicken at 2 am [BEST IDEA OF THE WEEKEND]
• meeting up with an old law school buddy, the $20 cover at Pier 23, the drunk driving gurls, being touristy, and then dinner, drinks, and catching up...and great laughs
• actually going to Etiquette and hanging out with a few of the younger siblings
• not getting my sunglasses stolen...and the fact that they made anyone who wore them at least 5% cooler
  
• Orion rolling out...in someone else's clothing
• dancing on three nites in a row
• Roscoe's North [friend chicken and eggs for breakfast]
• doodie butter
• an epic stroll covering the expanse of Fillmore
• a little Top Gun
• Don't Stop Believing - the pick me up i needed as i walked my way out of town

It was a grand weekend, epic as always. It's almost as if each half of a day was a day in itself...the experiences from day to nite were so different and also so fun. Honestly, the fun of the weekend, some of the discussions had, and just the general experience of it all has provided much to think about. Some of the pondering will remain entirely private [or mostly so] but i can reveal this: i feel so at home in the City, surrounded by the friends i know there as well as the friends i know that would visit there...at times it makes me feel as tho i'm missing out on some of the good times had...i'm sure that i am.

i am sure of few things in this world...in fact that is one of the things i am sure of...but there are many other things which i have much faith in, with or without good reason. i'm coming to know better where i belong...and am hoping to put that in line with where i am. Yet there is a difficulty with figuring some of this out because for now there is a disconnect between the two...and while bridging that gap will entail time, patience, effort, and hard work...it is a definite possibility, at least making certain aspects of the day dreams reality. For now tho, the difficulties of it persist in a tolerable yet frustrating way.

No complaints about the weekend...one which could easily have been derailed by certain hiccups was not, in part out of perserverance, in part just because that's how it was supposed to go down. I'm off to layout on the bed and fall into a land of dreams...one that for the past day has been...well, definitely dreamy.
