My attempt at art

The other day, I was walking through the store and saw those huge jaw-breakers. I had never had one and I wanted it. I wanted it bad. So, I thought up an excuse to carry it with me all weekend and turned it into a little art project. Mind you, I was a science major in college, so excuse the high school level thought process. My idea was to suck on the jaw-breaker and take pictures of it as the weekend went on, with whatever we were doing in the background.

Chan had to put up with it all weekend. I basically looked like this the whole time.

By the end of the weekend, my tongue was raw and it hurt, so I don't know how smart the project was. But here it is.

The weekend started at Chan's. And yes, that is Point Break on the TV. Any good weekend starts with watching the cinematic achievement called Point Break.

Then we met up with John and Bonnie @ Chego. This place is soooooo good.

From Chego at night to McGriddles in the morning. We're hitting the road to our campsite.

Now, for some reason, Chan had been wanting combat knifes. So he bought some. Good thing too, we wouldn't have survived the night without them...

My tongue started bleeding at this point, sucking on this damn thing.

As you can see, I didn't eat too healthy. But ooohhh, it was great.

We were the only people at the campground without a tent.

This is General Sherman, the biggest tree in the world. Not the tallest, but the biggest. Apparently, because it was stated repeatedly, girth matters!

A long needed update

I apologize for the tardiness of my post (I know not many follow this, so my apology is directed at you, Mom). There is something about getting myself to post. I think years of being forced to write for school has caused me to inherently not like it, or at least the idea of it. Though, once I start writing, I actually enjoy it. That is what my college education has done for me! Anyway, here is a quick update of my activities

A while back I went to the street art exhibit in LA. It was the last day it was open, so the line was crazy, but I really liked it. There was so much awesome art. It was also interesting because they kind of paid tribute to gangs and such, like the Bloods and the Crips. Anyway, I snapped a few quick pics. These weren't the best things on display, but good nonetheless.

I liked this because lately, at times, I just feel this way. But also, I'm still looking for that tagline.

I found this tucked away in the corner of the exhibit. I had to snap a picture because when I was a sophomore in high school, playing football, a couple of seniors hazed me saying I looked like the Mad magazine kid in my football helmet. Just a reminder of my glory days...

And this? Well, this is just an awesome picture.

I loved the whole exhibit. Also, it was fun going with Chan, because he is like a free tour guide (He knows a lot about this stuff).

I've also done little random things. I had been craving grilling up an awesome hamburger, so this is what it looked like.

It was good...

One other thing worth mentioning is that Chan and I went camping. I tried a little art project, but I'll do a separate post for that. We headed up north to Sequoia National Park for Labor Day weekend. Mom, these pics are for you...

Near our campsite.

We made tinfoil dinners, s'mores and these. They're called banana boats, bananas cut open with chocolate and marshmallows stuffed inside, and they are awesome.

These are Sequoia Trees. They are huge and so much cooler than Redwoods...

Well, there are more experiences to follow.
