You haven't been to TX yet? ...... hmmmm well.. it's a huge st so the weather is like way different depending where u r. Most of the state is dry....bUt I live in the area which looks like Florida ... lots of palms, super green, excellent people ... lots to do.... bUt really humid and hot in the summer with mild cool winters. And SO.... what part of northern Cali are u from? Ha.. i made such a huge mistake thinking San Francisco was anywhere near like San Diego..... I froze my ass off there in the summer..... Also the water further near San Fran is colder, less beautiful beaches, strong waves hitting rocks all along the coast. Got to see seals in San Fran. im rambling on... so let me just say I'm having serious good time here in Salt Lake City.... I qualified yesterday .... so im in the finals today. Hey in about 4 weeks is the Volcom Damn Am in Costa Mesa Ca...... i will be there in ur home state. If ur anywhere in the area ... dont miss it.

Wow Tx sounds like a nice place I hope to visit it someday . I live about an hour from San Francisco in a little town called Oakley. Its kinda cool because in Oakley it gets hot in the summer probably not as hot as Tx though, but if to hot for me and my friends all we have to do is drive or take bart to the city... Your right about the beaches being cold the water is freezing but there are some nice beaches in Santa Cruz and Monterey if you know where to go.... If you ever go to Santa Cruz you have to go to the board walk it is so much fun, and in Monterey they have so many candy and bakery shops there... But if you like to surf or boogie board I would go to Santa Cruz because they have better surf spots.....So anyways you qualified for the finals that's so exciting its like 1 am right now so its probably over but I hope you won... Unfortunately I live 6 hours from Costa Mesa and i'll most likely be in school other wise I would so be there.

Ok... thats the ticket...visit Monterey and Santa Cruz. I remember driving thru them kinda on the way to LA from SF. I just didn't have the time to really check out the chill places there.

Sheeeze... its a school nite tonite... I'm waking up to beautiful Salt Lake City and have to catch a flight to Hou in like 3 hours.... what a shock :( However it's going to take weeks to take the smile off my face from having a serious good time here. I ended up placing between 6th and 12th place..... i dont know yet? But I hope to return here next yr and up the level. Ha... the best fun was making friends and street skating til 1am last nite all over this beautiful place.

Well... i get to look forward in a few months getting my drivers permit..... I'm super greatful that I was just inherited my first wheels .....but ha!.... this was my grand fathers car and it like will put me into the "neanderthall age". It is a 2004 Buick Le Sabre......hahaha... dont laugh too hard!
If the stars line up right.. i can talk my parents into trading in on anything even a little more modern. And if not... so be it. It's kinda of like someone who is clothless and needs cloths... and a very very action type of person is given "poka dot" pants. you just zip ur lip and be appreciative.

Ok... so you got a book from me this Sunday morning.... I'm off to the airport in a bit... so I am going to spare you. Have a great "whats left" of ur weekend.

Haha well a cars a car right.. :) Ive been saving up for a car though I'm not sure what I'm going to get yet.... It sounds like you had a great time in Salt Lake City, and placing somewhere between 6th and 12th place that's pretty good and skating around the city sounds like loads of fun... How was your flight? Any thing funny or exciting happen?...

Uggh I have school tomorrow. Oh well I just have this week to go and then I get a two week vacation yaaaay... Well talk to you latter... Have a Happy Monday tomorrow :)
