Beauty in all it's glory!

This is the State Capitol building in Sacramento, CA. Isn't it beautiful & majestic? Well, I think it is. It's unfortunate that this great state of California, in all it's glory, is not so glorious with all it's budget woes. I am a California native & have been fascinated with this building ever since I drove by it a couple years ago. Now each time I head out to visit my relatives in Sacramento, I make sure I make a pit stop to the Capitol Building and enjoy the breath taking site. I invite you, if you haven't done so, to make a trip out to Downtown Sacramento and stop by and pay a visit to the State Capitol building. Heck you might even bump into our governor, Arnold Schwarzengger! You won't regret it and you'll wonder why you never had been there sooner.

Hop the bus to Mission San Juan Capistrano...

Here is another Plinky prompt for you: If you found a bus pass where would you go with in 50 miles (or something like that?)

Well 1st of all, that is an unfair question because 50 miles isn't far enough and I have a car so driving to any place is much easier and faster. It's not like I live the fucking boonies. Plinky, that is such a dumb question.

I would have liked to have gone to Santa Barbara but that is 100 miles one way. I certainly don't want to take the bus to the I.E. because, no offense, it's not that exciting. Kevin & Bean (from KROQ 106.7) have best described as being all dirt and super hot all the time. So why would anyone one go out there via the bus, you have to be nuts to do that.

In that case, I'd rather go the Mission in San Juan Capistrano. Why? I never been. I am Catholic (well not all that religious, just understanding). And I hear it's really pretty and therefore I want to go. So why not use that bus pass that I found (hypothetically) to go there, esp. since the traffic on the 5 freeway (into the OC) can be bad.

Still really busy...sheesh!

Well folks, it's been 6 months since I last posted a personal note. On the last note I had said I was too busy to post anything. Well the same still holds true. Since then I went on a mini vacation w/ BFF1 to Northern California. I go up there a lot because I have family there. I pretty much know my way around the Sacramento area. Sactown is great in it's own way and the suburbs are a different story; super boring.

Since I have an annual pass to Disneyland, I've been going a lot with my crew. It's a great place to hang out and spend lots of time at and it's time to go again. LoL I, also have been hanging out a lot with my regular crew, BFF's, a new crew from FaceBook & my groceras. It's great hanging out with different people all time, but time is scarce.

I, also, have been to a lot of shows. I saw No Doubt at the Gibson (at Universal Studios), Tiesto at the Sacramento Convention Center, Duran Duran at the OC Fair, and Depeche Mode at the Hollywood Bowl & at the Honda Center (Anaheim, CA) and went to a free show they put out back in April for the Jimmy Kimmel Show, as well; whew, I think I covered them all.

Next week I'll be going to the Franz Ferdinand show at the Forum followed by The Yeah Yeah Yeahs in September at the Greek. Yes, music is my life. It always has been. I've been into different genres throughout my life, but at the end all music it's great. It's a reflection of who you are and what is going on with your life at that moment. The same holds true for the musicians themselves. They write about what is going on in their lives; new love, break ups, new job, asshole co-workers, death of loved ones, etc. *SIGH*

So, I have lots of pics to post from all the shows and my trip, but it takes a lot of work, effort, and time. And I need more time to sqeeze in everything. There is so much to do, but not enough time. I want to do a lot before I kick the bucket (whenever that'll be). I love life for the most part. It's great that there is a lot to do and enjoy, but time & and money are of essense. *SIGH*

Well gotta roll folks. Must take a short nap, then off grocery shopping for taco night at a friend's house. In the meantime, I'll continue to post funny things and not some not so funny. I do want to point out, that if you get offended by anything I say or put up, well sorry, but that wasn't my intention. My outlook on life is loose and I try to see the best in everything. I don't take anything personal and nothing shocks me (well only a little, but then I get over it).

So, enjoy my sillines and peace out. BTW, leave comments if you like, I fixed the problem. So now anyone can leave comments if they like. xoxo

My road trip from L.A. to Folsom, CA

Each time friends have asked me to join them on road trips, I have always turn them down for a reason...

It was the longest trip ever that I've driven. It was torture. I love driving, but that was a bit much. I had gone with my aunt & uncle to visit my cousin in Folsom. After that trip I really learned to love the city skyline & the normal 21st century civilization & commodities. I drove along the 5 fwy all the way through the San Joaquin Valley (all farms), Modesto (more flat lands), Stockton, etc. Nature is nice to a point, but not a full 5 hours. I do hate nature, I'd rather be around smog and tall skylines (or even the suburbs are tolerable). Needless, to say that my form of transportation to NorCAL, or any other place for that matter, is via the airplane. Don't get me wrong, I'll drive to San Diego or to Santa Barbara, but anything further I would rather board an airplane.
