Time for some updating

What a great summer it has been! It was probably my most productive summer yet. If people ask me how my summer went, I can't say "nothing" as a reply this time. So what did I do exactly? Let me sum it up. I worked for just the month of June. I spent 4th of July weekend watching three little piggies. I took and survived two history classes in summer school. I passed both with double B's. Immediately after, I went to SoCal to enjoy Disneyland, California Adventure, and Hollywood. Back home, I celebrated Xtina's 21st year of debauchery at Cafe Kokomo. I had to bust out with my awkward salsa dancing, but the band was peachy. I also went to the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk and Six Flags Discovery Kingdom to accompany the kiddies. Chrissy and I had our 2nd Sean Penn marathon at her crib. I took two of the kiddies to watch The Dark Knight (with a portion of the city also watching it) at Metreon and fed their hungry little tummies at Denny's after. Nightlife was only two nights for me: one at Suede and one at Temple; both in SF. I saw Alfonso Ribeiro (Carlton from Fresh Prince) go into Temple for the Gumball 3000 party. The next day, I walked up and got lost in the hills of Nob Hill. Extreme exercise. I went there with my two nephews to check out this year's Gumball 3000 kick off in front of the Fairmont. We saw David Hasselhoff (all tanned, lean, and tall), Tyson Beckford (sassy), and Bam Margera (surprised me). Later on that day, I went to Projekt Revolution with Lalaine. I LOVED it, except Busta Rhymes wasn't there. I love Linkin Park regardless. For Chrissy's 21st, her, Zheena, and I kept it light and chill and ate lunch at Fuddruckers. Zheena kept getting hit on by the same guy. Then, Chrissy and I watched "Tropic Thunder" and "Pineapple Express." They were equally funny to me. I can't say they were hilarious, but just enough to satisfy my comedic mood. I was able to hang out with Alvin and go to the wonderful world of Target. I only read one full book over the summer and it wasn't great. I started reading Gossip Girl (if you're familiar with the show), but I couldn't come up with the right mindset to complete it. I suppose those were all the highlights; minus the negatives that I previously wrote about.

Oh did I mention that I just love Michael Phelps?!? I mean, who doesn't love the guy?!? The Summer Olympics was really fun to watch, I must say. I haven't been this much into the Olympics since 1996 with the "Magnificent 7." It's over now, but I'm still fascinated by the history that Phelps created. Swimming was what I looked forward to the most. He's just crazy GOOD! The guy's a fish! I'm mostly amazed because of his motivation and inspiration that helped him achieve his goals. He came into Beijing knowing what he wanted, and he left with exactly that and more. That is very inspiring. It makes me very proud of him and his representation of our country. Yet, the guy's so humble about everything. He's so cool! He deserves everything he has. I heard he was in the Bay this past Thursday. Aww...I missed out. It would of been a pleasure to see or meet him in person. At least, I'll get to watch his appearances coming up this week on tv.

This post really hurts to read huh?
