In Retrospect

And so another phenomenal weekend has passed. I don't know how much fun I was capable of having until I met friends such as these.

It's funny how people click...

I found myself on a Sunday morning curled up in a sofa bed in a cabin right of the beach in San Diego and this is the view that I find...

Pristine blue waters...blue skies...sea gulls milling around...

Who would've thought the night before was a night made to go down in party history books. It started with the concept of a small party instigated by my good friend Allyson...the idea turned into reality...

So we found ourselves with a well stocked fridge which wasn't even enough when the night rolled forward. 4 bottles of Jagermeister...vodka...Patron tequila...beer, beer and more beer...

Malibu rum...Crown Royal...Baileys...TGIFridays margarita mixes...

Random people stopping in to say hello...a beer or two offered -

Two girls 'skinny dipping' in the freezing water...a naked game of
"Bullshit"...black markers being the devil when you're wasted...
"used" condoms...incriminating pictures aplenty.

I felt like I was back in college and partying 'til the sun came up.

Hey...we're all trying to escape the reality of life...that in a month or two this will just be a distant memory...everyone of us will be moving on...half of the group will be going to Iraq...and half the group will be back in Los Angeles trying to live their own lives...

This weekend is going to the books not because it was one of the best parties I've been to...it's going into my books because for a certain moment in time, I found a group of people that I can say that i "love"...not just for them being fun...but for them rediscovering the me that I've always wanted to convey.

I thank God for friends such as these. (I pray for the safety of half the group who are going to Iraq. May there be more parties to come.)
