A wonderfull evening boys and girls, mum and dads, dudes and chickichikichickens!!! How the hack is it going?! Do you remember me?! Its me, Mr. Don Ailinger!!!
I know it has been a while, and I really want to apologize that you fewer and fewer entries, but as I start getting rid of my tourist life here and really getting used to my daily life, not every single minute of my life is that "awesome-mind-blowing-worth-to-blog-about" any more. So weekely updates seem to be the new trend here :-)
Lets start with the last weekend. As my buddy Greg left this sinking shipwreck :-) I needed to take some rest and get my batteries reloded again, cause we've been a lot on the road the days before. So my weekend was a mixture of sleeping, some digital work and of course surfing. Manhatten is my new beach to be. Its beautiful there and the waves are really good and sometimes turn out to be tooo big. Like last sunday. Boy, I gotta tell you. These waves were the way to big for me. I guess like 10 foot or something and the tide was so agressive that I decided to quit being the playball of the waves after an hour and went back to the beach completely exhausted. Dude, never underestimate the power of waves, I got tons of respect of em....
What about the week?! Yes! Actually, work is really really fun! I enjoy to work with my new colleagues and at some great projects. It feels good to be a member of a team, taking responsibility and figure out solutions for difficult tasks. Awesome. Right now we're doing some websites for a movie company called Participant Media. To name some: Website for Al Gores An inconvient Truth and for Oceans, a Disney movie about the life underwater. Yeah, and thats possibly another reason why I like this work here that much. Very very good clients and interesting projects. Just Awesome. So the work week starts to pass by a lot faster than in the beginning.
Friday night - Time for a show!!! It was friday morning, about 11 am and I was wondering what I'm gonna do at night. So I went to my concert schedule and found out that the amazing Every Avenue stopped at the Avalon in Hollywood that night. Great! Bought my ticket, waited for quitting time and went to Hollywood. The show wasn't that crowded as expected but the show was good. The first 2 bands did a solid set and the crowd started to get in the mood some good music. Every Avenue was awesome. Thumbs up for the singer, a: his a really handsome guy and b: he can sing like crazy! He killed it completely, the songs are great anyways, but he did such an awesome job! Thumbs thumbs thumbs!!! After the White Tie Affair - who were a bit too gay for me - I headed home and fell asleep like a baby!:-)
Saturday was a good surfin day, better then I've expected. Sunny weather, almost the 25 degs and no cloud as far as you can see. I decided to check Manhatten Beach again, drove there, attached the leash and went into the water. We were about 25 surfers and the guy next to me looked somehow familiar to me...but I thought, yeah, dude, how should you know him...but after 2 hours still thinking that I know him from somewhere I took the opportunity and asked him where he's from! After a couple of word exchages the biggest coincidence in my entire life was out!!!!! I knew him, he is from Germany, he is from Ravensburg, he's from the Westside and he lives in the fucking same 30-Zone than I do!!!!! Dude!!!! What the hack is going on?!?! How small is this world?! Not even a village any more!!! It's a 30-Zone!!! :-) And the funny thing is, we don't knew each other, I just knew his face from somewhere....and yeah, my brain seems to work better than ever. We decided to hang out the whole saturday. We went to Hermosa Beach to grab some food, headed to Santa Monica, checked out the pier and the surfshops! After this great hours I picked up my dearest Aline, who is on a America-Trip right now. It is awesome to have her here again after a long time not seeing each other.
We drove home, I showed her around, introduced her to the fam and afterwards we went to West Hollywood to meet Felix, the guy I met at surfing and his friends again. After a bit of a journey through LA, we finally found a club to hang out. We had some 7-$-Beers and good conversations but not that Party-Feeling. Dude, I miss it. I wanna party again!!!! :-)
Sunday started lazy:-) Sleeped kind of long, had breakfast with Aline in the sun and packed my stuff for Malibu Beach. We were supposed to meet Felix and the guys at 2 at the beach. I expected an awesome sunny surf day with good waves...."expected". We came to MB - no waves at all - low tide, so all the rocks showed out of the water - longboarders who caught even the smalles waves. Aline went for a beach run and I lied in the sun, waiting for the waves to get bigger... After a while Felix showed up, it turned out that he has been surfing there earlier today, feel to the reef and cut an arteria of his arm...so he had to get it fixed at the urgent care...for only 600 bucks!!! As I point out later, this day possibly sucked for everyone... I went in to catch at least some waves....I didn't catch more than two, also fell to the reef and these goddam rocks breaked a hole into my board....DAMN!!!! I was pissed, cause it means another 30 bucks or whatever to fix the board and it theses waves weren't worth one cent....dude!!!! BUT who cares :-) We went home, Aline cooked some great food and afterwards we went to 2012. I pretty nice movie. Hollywood on its best, millions of special effects and a familiar story. I like it.
That should be it for now. I'm sooo tired, its 2 am and I need to find some sleep. I hope this entry makes sense at all, cause I didn't double check wether the content nor the spelling. Screw it, whatever, you definitely will get my points. So enjoy it, have a nice Monday and write me postcards dudes!!!
See you soon, take care buddies!
