All settled in

So it's been awhile since my last entry. After moving out to irvine, I traveled right back to Solon, OH for approx an entire month for my company's new telephony system upgrade. Thing went fairly smooth. There were a couple issues, but I supposed you're going to have issues with almost any project.

Once I finally returned back to California, I had my first visitor - mí madré. My mom flew out with me. It was the first time we've ever flown together. Quite surprising, considering I'm 26 yrs old. But I suppose that's largely in part because I don't come from a spoiled family (even tho certain family members like to think I am).

My mother is absolutely amazing. A machine, but amazing. She basically did all the unpacking & organizing and got me all situated to go. She had everything almost all situated in just under 2 days. I have no idea how she does it, but it's certainly a gift.

I felt terrible because after a few days I started getting a limitless testy. I don't know what it is, but there's just something about the parent-child relationship. I like to think that I have one of the closest relationships possible with my mom, she's not just a mother, but she's also one of my best friends. I really don't know what I would do without her love and support in my life. She definitely gives purpose to life, and a reason for wanting to succeed (so she can receive the proper praise she deserves).

I took my mom to Huntington Beach. I think she enjoyed it, but you could definitely tell she wasn't loving it. Idk... Perhaps it was my sour attitude (as I was in a hurry because it was Game 3or4 -- can't remember -- of the nba finals). I didn't tell my mom this because I knew she would let me stay home and watch it, but I wanted to make sure she had a vacation too because she did take time off to travel out here and help me move in. As we were leaving dinner walking down main street, she caught a glimpse of a tv and saw the basketball game. She asked if it was " the game " and I simply nodded my head. She immediately said " oh josh... Why didn't you tell me" and started picking up her walking pace. God bless her. She literally does anything and everything for me.

The next time we ventured out, I took her to Laguna Beach. Mother very much appreciated Laguna. I know she enjoyed it more than Huntington beach. We had a nice dinner at Las Brisas (which has an absolutely stunning view of the Pacific Ocean from it's outdoor patio).

On her last weekend, I took her to Venice beach. I knew we were in for quite a trip when every coworker that I talked to said "don't take her there... There's nothing but a bunch of weirdos and muscle heads.". Well.... They were right. The actual beach part was nice ( not very much surfing, but there was a nice sailboat race going on off the coast), and there was a pretty cool skate-park where I think I saw the next tony hawk (I swear, this kid couldn't have been more than 8 yrs old, and he was tearing it up), but the actual boardwalk was full of nothing but weirdos and a bunch of pot smoking hippy wannabes. I hated it. Oh... And there was literally a freak show house to. $5.

Mom was happy to leave as she wa totally skeaved out by the place (even tho it was her idea to go there). She said she was happy she saw it, but she likely would never go back. She said the reason she wanted to go thee was bc she watches a web cam and saw all the little street vendors and such. But she had no idea they sold all the crap they sell. It literally seemed like every fifth place was a hut where you can spend $40 to receive your medicinal marijuana card and some weed. Get a life you worthless pieces of shit!

Now... I'm all settled in. Unpacked. Life feels good once again.

I found a way to connect my iPad to my AT&T cable box. It's spectacular! I can control what I'm watching right from my iPad. Amazing. Technology truly is mind blowing.

This is getting terribly long and I'm getting extremely hungry. I hope to share my thoughts soon on the NBa Finals and Lebron James winning his first ring. Also, I just found out that MoFo has a tattoo on her inner lip. (sigh)
