National Parks…
Watching the Ken Burns National Parks documentary on KPBS. It makes me want to rent an RV and drive around this beautiful country of ours. Only been to Yosemite so far in my life, and I got so much more to see. There is so much beauty in the US, but we forget about it or don’t think about it cause we don’t take the time to sit back and enjoy it. I think one of the next places I want to visit is the Redwood National Park. It’s crazy to think that when they first became a National Park, 85% of the forest had already been logged and only half of what remained was set up as a National Park.
Last year when we went to Joshua Tree for some camping it made me want to do even more. Just to get out in nature and get away from it all is the best thing you can do for yourself. Even just getting out into nature and going on a hike will clear your head. Hell, last week when I was feeling down I took a “personal day” and went outside for a few hours and weed whacked the shit out of our front yard. Who would of thought doing “work” outside on a beautiful day would be so cleansing of the soul. Back when I was a kid, I wanted nothing to do with being outside working. And with that, the city of San Diego is planning to turn the Plaza De Panama in Balboa Park back into a pedestrian area and remove all the parking and traffic in the area. There are lots of people who are against it cause they feel the parking is needed cause they don’t want to walk their fat asses too far to get to the museums. How could you not want one of the most beautiful areas of San Diego changed from a parking lot into a large open area where you can sit an enjoy the day? I understand the handicap spaces need to be saved and I’m completely cool with that, but for all you other fat asses you need to stop complaining. Yeah that sounds kinda harsh, but it’s true. You don’t want beauty for your city cause you don’t want to walk any further to get to the museums?
I’m gonna get a bike soon so I can ride around the town and enjoy my weekends. Being able to ride a bike from my home to Balboa Park, around North/South Park, maybe even down along the bay any given day is something I now look forward too. A year ago I never would of thought this would be enjoyable. Now I can’t wait to do it. If anyone has a good suggestion for me on a good bike to get, I’d appreciate it.

Ok, it’s pretty sad that Cox Cable in San Diego doesn’t have FSN Prime Ticket in their channel lineup. I’ve asked them a few times to add it to their lineup and they say there isn’t enough demand for it. I’m asking you guys to help show them they need to add it. I can’t watch any of the games when they are not on FSN West and it pisses me off. I emailed them today asking again to add it to their lineup and to not forget about all the hockey fans in San Diego County. Here is what i sent to them…
So last night Jordan and I finally stopped to figure out what it says about President Bush during the opening of the Colbert Report. Leave it to Colbert to come up with something like, “President Bush Have A Hot Dog With Me.” I love that show and would love to meet Stephen some day. So if you can help me make it happen, let me know.
Looking forward to the trip to San Francisco i got coming up at the end of April. Flying up in the morning of the 24th and will be staying at the Phoenix hotel that is like 2 blocks from the Great American Music Hall. I’ve always wanted to go to a show there and now i get to. Turbonegro is playing a headlining show there and rather than pay $90 plus a $300 hotel while only getting to see a short set from TRBNGR we decided to fly up to SF. Besides, SF is much nicer than the desert. So yeah, a bunch of the
