Cool Thing(s): Birthdays and Beaches

It's my birthday today. We started the celebration yesterday with a kick off BBQ in Newport Beach. It was so fun. We down the the peninsula and checked out the wedge. How cool is surfing?

We decided to go down to Huntington Beach last night for some volleyball--so much fun! Of course our evening wouldn't be complete without some "dairy" so we made a stop at Yogurtland (which is leagues ahead of yo-zone for you Utahans). Not a bad start to a birthday weekend, eh?

Cool Thing (Thought): Free Things on Birthdays


Something about "free" always taste better. Add a birthday and you have a pretty ideal situation. Every year I look forward to my free blizzard, free burger, free cake, sundae, meal, etc. If I ever owned a restaurant, I would totally give something tasty and free on birthdays.

If anything, it will be a consolation prize for getting old :D

Cool Thing: Red Robin

I recently ate a Red Robin. For those you who know me, you'll remember I spent my teenage years slaving away at the "Dirty Bird" (don't worry, after working for the company for cumulatively five years, I can assure you, it's not actually dirty). Eating at Red Robin almost every day for almost my entire high school experience, I have been turned off to anything served by the aforementioned bird for some time. I would occasionally go with friends since the mission, it was good, but that ever present "classic season salt" taste, makes everything taste the same to me. My birthday is coming up (feel free to send gifts) and I got a free burger, so I thought, why not go down to the ole' dirty bird for kicks and giggles. To my surprise, I've successfully been reintroduced back to the environment (after all these years) as a regular Red-Robin-goer! No season salt taste! So yeah, I'm really tired, I hope all that made sense. I'm just happy to be here folks. Shout out to my man Brad who survived an encounter with a rather large woman with his life and v-card intact (contrary to what her initial intentions may or may not have been).

Cool Thing: Murrieta!


I loved San Diego, but I have moved on. I was recently transferred to Murrieta! I'll be here the rest of the summer. I'm so excited to be here. It gets a lot hotter in the day time, but it cools off at night. The people here are so friendly!

Cool Thing: San Diego!


San Diego! Discovered by the Germans in 1904, they named it San Diego, which of course in German means... I'm sorry, I was trying to impress you. I don't know what it means. I'll be honest, I don't think anyone knows what it means anymore. Scholars maintain that the translation was lost hundreds of years ago. Agree to disagree.

I'm finally here! Though, I'll probably be moving in a couple of weeks. This place is paradise. For all of you that live here year-round, I envy you. For all of you back in Utah, suckers!!! Haha
