"You got it man"


Hello again,

I have now gotten out the shorts and am enjoying the change of weather even though I didn't get any snow last year,
I have a picture here of me and Awbrey on Christmas in Eugene OR, I also found some Good pictures of Molly, Skylar and a few first date pictures that I will get up here soon, Awbrey will be here in 5 days, this Sunday to be exact.

Things are really picking up in Canuda I sold about 17 pieces last weekend which is quite good and its expected to get much better with the warm weather moving in so on the business front things are great, still running at the beach and reading a lot,
I have had a chance to see more of the city now that I have somewhat of a schedule I can make plans, a few places are the Picasso Museum and the Gaudi building.

When I was walking through town the other day I found an old antique store (I love these kind of places) and found some records from the states, I also collect records along with coins, anyway they had some classics like Louie Armstrong(not even open still in the original plastic) Madonna's Like a Virgin Album, Michael Jackson's BAD album also his Dangerous album in perfect condition the cases weren't even damaged a few signed records and some Frank Sinatra all for the low low price of 15 Euros about $18.18 so it was like highway robbery, I was very happy to add those to my collection to say the least,

My Spanish study are coming along nicely also when im at Canuda my friends help me with sayings and small talk, why just the other day they taught me how to say "You got it man" it is quite interesting to start to understand what people are saying and when your thinking and your talking to yourself in Spanish.


Other than that im just relaxing and trying to take this easy one step at a time
I hope everyone is well and enjoying themselves
and i will get some new Pictures up shortly,

Things are heating up


Hello all,


The weather is starting to warm up and I think I may have to get out the shorts and teeshirts soon, everything is going well for me right now, schools keeping me on my toes and the city is more interesting everyday,
The clock is counting down till the end of the month when Awbrey will be here, and I have got everything ready so I cant wait.

Work is really picking up we have found a new place to set up the booth and it is close to where I live so I will be able to work in Canuda, also a very busy area of town that gets a lot of sunlight, not to mention the people I will be tutoring so im glad I will have something to keep me busy

Other than work and school im running a lot more often, I haven't had a cigarette for about a month and I feel health enough,
I heard the was another big spill in Alaska anyone have any info, I heard it was due to corrosion though im not sure.
Anyone out there know who Michael Parkes is?

I hope your all well and enjoying life

Back in action


Back in action

I am feeling much better,

I took a long run today by the coast and it was great, so what every my illness was its out of here.
I have figured out how to get the pictures up so expect to see more soon. Classes are going great i am now understanding about 80-90% of what the professor is saying compared to about 60-70% a week or two ago, i like it because he speaks in Spanish all the time so you have to work hard to keep up with what is going on.

The pictures i got up are of me and Awbrey in China town and Berkeley CA, also a picture of me in a nice hat in Oregon,
I hope you enjoy them, She will be here in a few weeks, the 26th to be exact and i am getting ready and excited for her visit.

I called one of the people who asked me to tutor them and have started to set up a schedule so i am glad i will be working more, MY BOOKS! have just arrived from Berkeley, i was beginning to think they would never come though here they are, i am happy to have them back so i can get back into my own personal studies of The Ocean, Space, and Earth the planet we live on.

The sky's are blue and the air is fresh i hope its the same there,

Spring is on the way


Spring is on the way and i feel great, except that i have been sick as a dog for the last few days, it feels like it could have been strep though i took some counter measures and i am feeling much better now, i even made it to work today in Canuda.
In other news i have been to the doctor and he informed me that i have two kidney stones, one in each kindey if you can believe it, Im glad that the healthcare here is free, though the doc said they were small so im not to worried,

The classes that im taking right now are a three month course in spanish aswell as tutoring for the Celta Exam,
I have found a few people who are intrested im me tutoring them aswell, two doctors and two young boys have asked so work is improving.


Hope everyone is enjoying the changing seasons
