"meandering" my way home...

...

...is this thing still on?

test, test...
"pppppfffffffht!"

we got a hot mic here!

yep, I'm back everyone. if you've been keeping track, you'd notice that i have not posted on this account since 2005!

it's currently, April 5th, 2008, and i'm finally "de-lurking" myself!

i've been away from the whole "web journal/log" thing for quite a while. yes, i, like every other 11 year old in the nation, have a myspace, and originally i was going to use that as my new all in one spot for pictures, communication, and web journaling. who would have ever thought that i would end up back here? i didn't, but i'm glad that i finally bit the bullet and came back. myspace is a pain in my assholes anyway. it sucks denying over and over to a group of sixth graders (for those of you not up to date on ol' weatherboy, i teach 6th grade English and History in Canoga Park, CA) that i even have a myspace page. so, i think i might just get rid of it and keep my facebook page. i haven't really decided yet.

things are good over here in Calabasas, CA (CalaBADASS if you're nasty! and i know you are!). weathergirl and i got a house here in Oct. of last year and have been making quite a niche here for ourselves. our house is awesome and we have a great view from our backyard! but, the most exciting thing for this little Washingtonian-born, Alaskan-raised guy is that, for the first time ever, i actually have a pool! my own pool! how crazy is that!? i never thought i'd have my own pool! but, here i am!

it's good living here, in Calabadass. Pj and Crackie live close and we have family and friends coming over all of the time to spend weekends, or just to bar-b-que! how awesome is it that my best friend from Alaska somehow managed to become a film editor and move down to LA and then become roommates with my wife's best friend!!!??? talk about convenience! we all get to hang out whenever we want! getting old isn't so bad, it turns out...as long as you keep surrounding yourself with good people!

hm, this is a rather rambling post. but, then, what else could you expect from a guy who hasn't used this account in over three years!? hopefully, this time, i'll stick to it!

In other news/updates, i'm in my third year of teaching (almost done, June's-a-comin'!), i'm starting to brew my own beer (it's F-ING AWESOME!), i play rugby for the Malibu Knights' Men's Rugby Club: (http://www.maliburugbyclub.com/ -yep, still a Hooker!), i still miss the Pac-Northwest, but i'm loving where i live more and more all the time!

the rest i can catch up with as i go! i'll leave this as the first of, hopefully, many more posts to come from "aimless meanderings..."

it's nice to be back...

stay tuned...
