day 3 in cali

so last night fiona and i decided to go and look for china town. that was lots of fun. and there was a crap load of cheep gift stores down there. i have so far bought as of today william, rachel and matthew oh also my mom gifts. i also bought myself something else. anyway ya china town was cool. all lit up at nght. looked like a mini vegas. then we walked through little italy, i felt like i was actually in italy. it was weird. walking through one part were everyone was speaking chines to every one speaking italian.

we took the trolly back to the hostle last night. our hostle is clean and nice. its funny thought cause its right across the street from the hilton.

today we went to fishermans warf again. lots of cool shops. wanted to go to alcatras but its sold out. there was a music box store and there was a tiny gift bag phantom of the opera music box. me being me could not resist buying it. there were bigger ones that were actual snow globs but i did not wanna try and get that back without it breaking. bought my moms gift at the market aswell.

here is a hint mom: its a shirt.

not going to tell you what it says but i think you will like it. cause well i like it and you seem to like to steal my cloths so i think youll like it.

we wanted to see golden gate bridge today but they are doing construction so maybe we will have better luck next time. for tonight we are just haning out in the hostle with people. because we have to wake up early and catch a bus to LA tommorw.

still having a blast

day two in california

its my second day here in san francisco. so far fiona and i have had fun. this is going to be a quick post cause im heading out soon to go and explore china town so dad, and other editors please try and ignore all spelling errors.

we wondered down to castro today and took lots of pictures of rainbow flags. and i bought my friend stephan a present. sorry stephan but its not what you wanted cause i dont wanna get stoped at customs on the way back with a calender from castro in my bag..that would be embarassing. we also went to hight and ausbery(i know im saying that wrong). omg soo many pot shops. and hippy stores. i bought myself a shirt.

last night fiona and i wondered around till like ten at night. we walked down to fishermans warf and back that was fun. there was a random band set up infront of old navy.


anyway im having lots of fun. and im staying safe.

ps fiona and i saw a drag queen kinda in castro and wanted to take our picture with him but thought he would be offended if we asked. oh well. he seemed cool.

dont worry mom and dad. everythings good

going to california

today is my last day at home. then i am heading off on a plane with fiona towards california. hoping to be a hippy in san francisco . chill on the beach in santa barbra, and hit up as many amusment parks as we have money for in L.A. it should be a party full of adventures and i am exsited to get off of this little island that i call my home for a bit.

fiona who i am traveling with is bringing her laptop i belive, or at least she said that she was the last time that we talked. so i will try to update this blog with anything interesting that happens to us in the next two weeks.

im exsited. dont worry i will come back.

peace, love, rock and roll <3

a night out with mom

last night i was bored and i decided that i would hang out with my mom. i know not the normal choice of a young adult on a afternoon when one could be out partying with friends and such. but i desiceded that i have not hung out with her in a while and it would be good to just go out to a movie with her and hang out. and there were a number of things that i discovered/learned when i went out with my mother last night.

1) mothers are way to easy to freak out when your driving: weather you are doing this on purpose or not. my mom started getting uneasy when i was driving a little bit over the speed limit and i only had one hand on the stearing wheel. being the irrisponsible young adult that i am. when my mom starts lecturing me to drive better. i start to drive worse. in my mind this seems like a better way to get her off my back then telling her to be quiet. this results in her yelling and me driving worse untill she shuts up and backs off and i start driving like a civilized person again. you would think my mom would stop being a back seat driver cause if she keeps that up one day she is going to kill us all.

2) its scary how the little things make you realize just how much like your mother you really are: so we were both sitting in the teater watching a movie. we were laughing at the same points at the same times. and there was one point in the movie were i was leaning against the arm rest with my hand under my chin. my left leg crossed over the right, my foot swining, and my left arm resting on my lap. and i looked over at my mom and she was doing the exsact same thing. i started to wonder did one of us subconciasly copy the other or is this just in our genes.

3) mom can make fun of old people too: it was so funny there was this old lady in the teater who keeped yelling oh no..oh no..no no no..oh no. she was getting to into that movie. and my mom and i started laughing everytime we herd her say it. then on the drive home my mom actually commented on it and we both started randomly yelling oh no and laughing even more.

4) with my mom sometimes i can talk about anything: so on the drive home from the movie. for some reason the topic of sex came up. i dont remember why or how but it did. (note for readers: not that im planning on having sex anytime soon but you know the topics do come up) in the end my mom ended up saying something like well just make sure you love they guy when you do anything. and use protection. and if you do get pregnant...ill take the kid, if your not ready. i could not help but laugh..leave it to my mom to take a serious conversation and turn it into her some how getting another little kid to look after... and i also really liked the fact that she actually had a conversation with me instead of using the parental bullshit scare tactics to prevent ones daughter from having sex. like i said not anytime soon just good to talk.


ya so that was a fun night. who would have thought you could have inside jokes with your mother...and have a blast.

OH NO OH NO..NO NO NO rofl

derailed train of thought on censorship

hello two people who read my blog it has been a while. so i have something to say. and i am going to start off by saying very bluntly this is not going to sound as good as any rant does in my head. because that is always the case. but i think this is something that needs to be said because it has been floating around in my head for a while. and i know that i have ranted about this in person before to some of my friends.

do some parts of the society that we live in seem like a double standard. for example we are allowed to have free speech. but then there are certain words in society that we are not supposed to say. these words are classified as bad. (i think George Carlin did the best rant about this but i still need to rant anyway). why are words considered bad. it is not written in any official papers that the word fuck or ass or bitch or cunt (sorry dad if your reading this blog i know you don't like your daughter using these words) or any other number of words considered bad. why do people chose to take a simple thing and label it as wrong or bad or demeaning. why are things being so weird in this society?

why is nudity no longer considered liberating in are society like it once was in the 60's and 70's why are people always trying to censor these freedoms. let me put it this way i have gone skinny dipping a number of times. and when i laugh and tell my mom or my dad that i have done this they are fine with it.. they tell me stories of how people would do it all the time when they were growing up. you would just go to a lake and swim ,bathing suit would not matter. it was just normal. but if i were to tell the exsact same story to some of my more ...lets say Christan friends. they would start to feel uncomfortable and wonder why in the world would i want to go swimming naked with a bunch of my friends why would i not want to have some "decency" and stay covered.

my question is why is the human body being seen as something to be covered and something to be ashamed off? why are people being taught from different angles not to feel confident. did you know legally it is okay for a women to walk down the street without a shirt on? guys can do it and so can we. but you never will see a girl do that. not that I'm yelling and saying hey girls its summer take your shirt off, get out there. because i can not see my self walking down the street without a shirt. well maybe if i was wearing bra. that's another thing. why is it such a big deal if a girl is walking around in her underwear. *gasp* omg not something that looks exsactly like a bathing suit (note sarcasm).

words and our body's are being censored and claimed bad. i get dirty looks or scolded if i was to just walk around naked and start yelling out swear words. like fuck this and fuck that. i will admit i do censor my self around little kids because in that department it is the parents choice..to is appropriate i guess. but around any one else i should be able to say fuck and hell and shit ass,cunt dick, slut(side not seems more girls, or at least in my group are bringing this word back and using it in a loving term, slut,bitch and whore is a new way of saying hey bud i love you). but you know i really don't get it. words are powerful that i understand and yet some of them are not supposed to be said. we are told by people that we are young and to get up and speak our mind but not to speak our mind if it includes certain things. speak your censored mind, speak your mind if it is appropriate for all to hear. fuck that shit.


i wanna sing loud in the sunshine and pray hard in the rain. and if i chose to do so, naked, swearing and covered in mud. that should be my choice. (urge to go streaking in the rain on a muddy day growing)

there are so many issues in this world that involve politics, and the earth that i could be jumping on but for some reason the one that bugs me the most is censorship. i think that's why i buy random movies about a kid starting his own radio show so he can say whatever the hell he wants. why i like watching movies that push the limits like anything Kevin smith that has done. people my not agree with me on this but i think weather you like him or not you have to admit that Seth mcfarline is a pretty influential guy on today's generation. he pushes the limits on what is and is not appropriate to be shown on TV. he makes his audience uncomfortable. and sometimes the things in his show family guy can seem just plain stupid. but you know if you look at it. you can also ask yourself why am i offended by what he is showing? why do people find the need for this to be censored? why was this showed never aired?

question your feelings!!! ask yourself why you think somethings are appropriate and others not. why do some words like slut or bastard or queer hurt yet others might not?

and example of this going back to this is the whole language and power of words thing. I'm going to use the word fag. people use this as a negative towards gay people all the time but it does not have to be like that. i remember talking with my dad about my uncle who just so happens to be gay. and my father used the word fag. i was immediately taken back by this..wonder how my dad could use that word. seeing it as wrong at the time. i asked him dad why would you say this word... especially considering that your talking about your brother. my dad started to explain to me how it is not the word itself that is bad but it it how you use it. i then asked my dad if he ever called my uncle a fag to his face. my dad said yes. i then asked if my uncle minded. my dad said no. i paused to think about this conversation and realized how absolutely right my dad was about this whole statement. it is not the words that are bad it is how you use them and say them.

i donno. censorship pisses me off. i am getting tired of censoring myself. i don't swear at home because my parents don't want it to come out of me. but i swear with my friends. some would say its a youth way of rebellion but if that is so then how come you see groups of "grown" adults act the same?

this train of thought is slowly coming to and end. or derailing and coming off the tracts because i don't no how to end it. so i think i will end of saying something that was said in that movie that i bought and just watched about the kid who started his own radio station.

talk hard. don't be afraid to say what you feel, and stand up for your actions.
