Today's Wed and I'm writing this blog early b/c I don't think I'll have time later in the day to write. I'm heading over to SD today..looking forward to it to get away from la, clear my mind and soul at the W hotel. I'm going to pacific beach tomorrow for the first time with Andy.so I'm looking forward to that also. I have so many things to do at work before I leave..but I think I'll be able to finish it all. This new year isn't turning out as well as I imagined..for my friends that is. Jeff's dad passed, Jr got jacked at his job review so he might quit...Ji quit...slowly but surely my friends are getting laid off. I hope this trend doesn't land on me anytime soon. This sat I'm going to Mtn High to board so that'll be cool..but then on Sunday I have to drive to LOMPOC!! I'm going to be driving like 1000 miles this week! Oh well...it'll be all good...I really wish I could've made it to the funeral..I feel bad but I hope Jeff knows that I was there in spirit...

Well..It's Monday morning and this past weekend was emotionally draining . Jeff's dad passed away last Thurs...Fatty called me on Thurs night while I was eating with my parents and told me the news. I was totally in disarry and shock....He told me Jeff's dad passed away from a heart attack....I was emotionally crushed....How many unforunate things can happen to one guy in his lifetime? First his mom..then his dad...It's so freaken sad...So me, jr, koala all went up to see him and support him. The first day was bad b/c when we walked into the house I saw Jeff so sad and stoic and motionless...I didn't know what to say...It's hard to see a close friend in that position b/c u cannot relate or try to comfort him....I'm sure jr. and evan felt the same way. The second day we went to the wake, ate, and drink a little bit..he seemed a little more spirited...I took picture at the funeral...hopefully they turn out ok.....On Sunday we met again and Jeff was still kinda in the dumps..I figure it'll take him at least 6 or 7 months to finally gain composure and realize his place in this world....I hope I can do something to help him in any way...bad trip....I realized and learned a lot from Jeffrey this trip also...he is so strong...I wonder if I could do what he did when my time is due....
