First off, Happy 1st Anniversary to Simon and Lei! I can't believe it's been a year already! Where does the time go?

Anyway, let's get you up to speed here.

The other day, I just wasn't feeling life and I decided to spend the night at Lei and Sim's place. (There's a reason for that but let's not knitpick right now.) In my bout of unhappiness, we play poker at the house, just for me to get reamed by momma-in-law. haha. Obviously, losing didn't get my motor running, so Sim thought it would be fun to try out Crystal Park Casino. Once we finally decided where to park, we strolled in expecting a large noisy hall...boy was that place a roaring...DISSAPOINTMENT. After strolling the main room for about 5 minutes, we realize the main room is the ONLY room. (At this point we had realized how much CA's casinos suck relative to Vegas) We knew that the closer to Diego, the better the casino. Anyway, we bolted back to the car and then started to search for the Hustler Casino, but my brother totally forgot where it was. So we did the next best thing: guess the location. We drove around for quite a while with no hope in sight. Simon was making a left at a light and I saw a bright red flashing light on the other side. "HOLY SHIT! BLINKY LIGHTS! GO! GO! GO!" I yelled. My bro immediately made a u-turn and we headed toward the inviting red blinky light. The closer we got the more curious we became...but it also was less evident that it was going to be our intended destination. Eventually we realized it was actually another casino...not the Hustler casino, but a casino nonetheless. We drive into the parking lot and peek inside. Unfortunately, the place was so ghetto we didn't even want to get out of the car. We then head home hanging our heads in disspointment.

My brother gave me a good talk though. I think I needed to hear some of the things he said. I think I needed to just snap back to reality. It's times like these where I feel like the luckiest son of a bitch in the world.

Okay, I'm off to Solvang...

To my beb...I hope you checked your campus email. I want you to know what's going on. I love you.
