Well, it’s Dec 31st and another year has passed us by. Where does the time go? This was an interesting year for me, and I must say that I would not have done it any different.

I started a new job this year, one I hope will lead to bigger and better things in 2004. The house had a party and now we look to top it with a better 2004 bash.

I meet a lot of new people this year. Some I no longer see, others, I do. I renewed some friendships, I ended some others; picked up some new habits, tried to ditch others; visited new places, stayed in new beds; ate new foods, and then ate more of the same foods.

In all, 2003 was pretty good, 2004 will have to be better. 93′ was my best year, but we’ll talk about that later.

Happy New Year everybody; see you soon!

Well we moved into our new office. It totally kicks ass. The interior designer did a great job. The place looks amazing; I’ll try to post some photos tomorrow. The cube I have is twice the size of my old space, but I don’t have the same great view.

I went to the gym this morning and I used the shower before work, the gym shower. It was kinda wierd. I need shower shoes and travel soap. Guys at the gym are way to comfortable with walking around with their junk waving in the wind. Are chicks the same way, someone let me know? The new gym is pretty cool, they have more treadmills and stair climbers, more free-weights, and more circuit training then the one in Marina Del Rey. Their were a lot of hot ladies their this morning, so motivation should be no problem.

I still need to do something about my food. Cooking the night before and bringing stuff to work would be best, but I have yet to start that cycle yet.

Sunday it is. Tomorrow I will be visiting my new LA fitness gym location at Wilshire and I will be at my new office. Very exciting. I will be going to bed early.

There’s a new radio station in town, INDI 103.1. Check it out, it’s the bomb. It’s a cross between KROQ and KLOS. It’s KROQ without all the teenage crying and KLOS with newer music. Like a old fashioned rock n’ roll station… I think everybody should listen for one day, then go back to your regular station if you are not satisfied.

I got a $50 GAP gift card; I used it to buy my dad a jacket. I gave it to him today for his birthday (dec. 25th is his actual b-day). He liked it. Happy birthday Dad.

Dec. 26th…finally. The hustle of the world has decreased. People have gone back to beating their kids and begging for food. It started raining on Wed. afternoon and didn’t stop until about 7 o’clock last night. But today, the rain and wind cleared out everything in the air; it’s quite nice outside, except for the cold.

X-mas eve, after church, I spent the night at my cousins house where the orgy of gifts was already underway. These kids have more crap then they can play with. They would open the gift look at it and throw it to the side. Whatever, they aren’t my kids, and it’s not my money, so whatever.

I spent my x-mas at my cousins house watching basketball and college football. The Lakers got worked and watching the “LeBrone v. McGrady” match up in the early game was pretty sweet. Also, if you missed the Hawaii Bowl, you missed a great game. Sure to be an instant classic.

Now it’s the 26th and I been watching the WPT Marathon on the travel channel and playing SSX3. I got a McDonalds gift book, so I used that for breakfast at noon, and I also got $25 for Carls Jr. so dinner is covered.

Other than this web site, I haven’t had any communication with the outside world…it’s alright. I want to go to Hollywood Park, I better change the channel before I do.

We this is my last BLOG entry from the comfort of Santa Monica. Starting Monday I will be in my new office at 5700 Wilshire Blvd. Our office will share space with the Entravision Corp. Radio division and needless to say, I am excited. I hate moving from all these great people, but I have no say, and who knows what the future holds. I started this job on Jan 20th and now I get to celebrate my 1yr anniversery at a new location with new people who don’t know me. But that’s cool.

So goodbye Santa Monica, goodbye Interstate 10 and Cloverfield; goodbye Robeks Juice Stop; I am moving east, where the streets have fewer homeless and the gym is two blocks away. Santa Monica, I will miss you.
