With what felt like 20K people at Cal Poly and under 100 square feet of space, we successfully moved Monique Furtado into her new home. I got a few pictures on Flickr, check them out.

Saw some cool sand castles at the beach yesterday. I've also uploaded a ton of photos from my camera. YOU, yes YOU are in some of them!

The Little Things of Life

Coming back from Weight Watchers and shopping, I thought of some good ideas to talk about while I was biking home. Below is a collection of thoughts, feelings, my wisdom and everything in-bwetween.


- The porn magazines thrown on side of the road by my house.

- I love shopping by myself. When I want root-beer float popsicles, I damn well get them!

- I now know why cars have windshields, I've been hit by something everyday.

- Fridge space is a constant battle.

- Hot-Dogs stink thrown in the trash can.

- Don't buy more food than your backpack can hold.

- Its harder to bike with a backpack full of food.

- Top Roman is dirt cheap! 7 for a dollar! Hello root-beat float popsicles!

- 9/10 out of times, I don't think I can tell the taste between store and name brand.

- Having frozen WW meals really helps when you come home dead tired.

- Write down everything!

- Fruit and Veggies go bad within a week.

- Its easier to spend 5 keeping things organized than the 10 times you spend 1 minute thinking about keeping things organized

- Exercising makes you feel sexy.

- All the little things that cost money add up. Shower with less water & in less time, turn off lights, computers, hand wash things.

- Food taste better coming back from the beach.

- Make sure you bike seat is high enough for you legs to stretch out. If it tends to slide down, like mines does, your knees start to hurt like a mo-fo after a while of riding.

- Find where your local cheap stores are. Goodwill, FoodforLess,

- Find where all the wifi hotspots / Starbucks are in town.

- 1 pound of coffee lasts for a long time!

- Create exciting things for yourself to look forward to. I always find that if I have something to keep me optimistic, I can break through a lot of procrastination.

- To be continued!
