hi. it's officially summer vacation.

it's funny seeing old friends again...like falling back onto your mattress at home. the old feelings from before come rushing back, but you're not quite used to them anymore since you've changed a bit yourself. and maybe the mattress has altered a bit with neglect or has been living its own life. um...okay, maybe this analogy can't be applied to extremely deep levels. special ones, i love you though. =)

my family and i were down in southern california for a weekend plus a bit more...i think falling asleep with my legs extended in the car helped tan them more than laying out by the pool at the hotel around sunset. unfortunately, i may have inadvertantly flashed passing cars when i was asleep. just can't win with short skirts. oh well. it's not as if i'll ever have to see those people again.

i've been sleeping with michelle recently too. am considering future sales of personal home videos to fund steep tuition. guaranteed to be hot and action-packed!
kidding. =) i've merely been housing the homeless and showing her the excitement that is fremont. ooh. aah. "can you show me that fifth starbucks again??" besides charlie chaplin, the historic mission san jose, and kristi yamaguchi, we're not known for much. did you know that i'm connected to kristi yamaguchi by only two degrees? we had the same orthodontist. yeah, that's right. try to swallow your jealousy.

summer will consist of kaplan courses up at berkeley. am open to any generous offers for places to bum at and people to bum with. contact me please. will require you to fill out a simple application and sculpt a bust of me out of paste.

remember paste? it smelled good. did anyone ever eat it? i didn't. seriously! i believe my oral fixation developed later. "you going to finish that ice in your water?"

this has been very stream-of-consciousness. well sort of (i censor a few things here and there ;-). and sort of boring. am not too energetic. i'm getting old! sadness.

"The Nearness of You" -Norah Jones

it's not the pale moon that excites me
that thrills and delights me, oh no
it's just the nearness of you

it isn't your sweet conversation
that brings this sensation, oh no
it's just the nearness of you

when you're in my arms and i feel you so close to me
all my wildest dreams come true

i need no soft lights to enchant me
if you'll only grant me the right
to hold you ever so tight
and to feel in the night the nearness of you
