Hey hey hey whaats up?!
A long time again, no problem, this post will blow you away, I swear (lie!):-)

First of all let me introduce to you: Special Greg! My Cute-Cuz-Katzebohle! Her arrived at wednesday night and I picked him up at the LAX! Feels so good to have em here, but it makes me busy busy busy again too, so don't blame me for not blogging, he cares for it this time:-)

He's enjoying his stay till now a lot, all time out in Venice, Santa Monica or Downtown. I work a lot these days, we got a lot stuff to do but it is so exciting right now. I got two new colleagues now, Ned and Brian, and jokes are thrown from one side to the other, just great! I'm pretty much involved in everything right now and it feels really good to work as a team!

Yesterday me and Greg went to Venice after work, checked out the nice sunset, kissed a bit....oh sorry, not for public:-) Afterwards we went to my fav indian restaurant here and had a delicious spicy veggie food. AND we finally met our first celeb. It's Chris Klein, an actor, took part in American Pie! Great haha! But sadly the spy pic I took was ereased....what leads me to the next point:

MY NEW IPHONE!!! Hahaha so great, greg brought me the old one of my Stinky-Steve! And now I have a great new toy with Rockband, Metallica, Surfreport, whatever!!! And for sure a new mobile camera, what will give me the chance to take snapshots everywhere I am, you'll find some of em here!


Today, I quitted work earlier to catch Greg in Santa Monica! I picked him up and we drove up the pacific coast highway, and it was awesome! The HW is directly on the coast, a "stoiwurf" to the ocean and the sun was goin down behind the mountains. Nice! We stopped in Malibu to hit the pier, real great, perfect weather, no clouds and a wonderfull dusk. Afterwards we drove through the backcountry to Hollywood! Was amazing there, a lot of crazy people, some costumed as monsters, scaring people, nice! We shopped some clothes and trash and walked up and down the Hollywood Boulevard.


Right now we're laying here, chillin, watchin some surfin movies, playin with our iphones and of course bloggin. Tomorrow will be awesome, we'll go shopping at the outlet store, get our costumes and drive to Santa Barbara. And then PARTY PARTY PARTY yeeeha!

We let you know how it all ends:-)
See you soon!

Ciao!

Hey good old fellas out there! What is going on?!

I feel a lot better than the last two days, I'm moving forward, almost beat my cold and ear, listening to the new Atreyu record and enjoying my new headphones! Really really nice ones!

Seems like all the meds I've taken finally killed the flu and rebirthed my ear! Only one thing left that sucks, I hear almost nothing on my right ear, but I think I found the reason. My ear is stuffed with all this ichords and stuff, so I finally need to see the doctor to get rid of this. I'll check out if I find the one Margaret suggested me and then we'll see wich ear I take for his diagnosis:-) If there is something like: "Don, its no big deal, i just ned a sec" then I'll take the left, working properly, one. If it's something like "Don, this looks bad, ur surfing career needs a break for a few weeks" then I'm surely taking my right one which makes me almost deaf. Cause I'm so stoked hitting the waves right now, it's almost 2 weeks now that I haven't been on the board! Damn! I've already cleaned my board and rewaxed it today, so nothing then my ear is standing in our way ocean-baby!!! But I'll get it fixed be sure bout that!

So only three days left this working week and then I'll be in heaven, which is called Santa Barbara University right now:-) And you know what, YOU KNOW WHAT?! MY CUZ IS ARRIVING FOR HIS STAY TOMORROW!!! Yeeeeha! I'm so stoked! I'll pick him up at the airput tomorrow night and then we're facing 10 days of just going crazy in LA! That is damn nice!!! I can't wait to have him here! This will be a great time! Expect a lot of blog entries, fotos and untelled stories! Great!

That should be it for now!
I'll do some work, cook a nice meal and watch a movie!
Take care buddies, see you all soon! 

During watching the semifinals of baseball, where our hometeam the Los Angeles Angels playing against the famous NY Yankees I will drop a few lines here. I'm sick AGAIN!!! What the hell is going on?! I treat my body as well as u possibly can do it, doing sports, eating healthy vegetables and fruits everyday and drinkin nothing else then water and beer. But yeah, as life can suck sometimes it tries to right now. But as you know me I wont let it win :-) Cause yesterday I finally found the last few percents to my perfect life!!!


To sum up the rest of the week, nothing special happened, worked a lot and the evenings where bothered by pain and tiredness. Friday after work I headed down to Venice to take some shots of the beautiful sunset again, and some of the pics are really awesome, like em. After this I went to Carloss to grab some good pizza, lay down in bed and watched TV, just chill, cause saturday was supposed to get busy. So it was, I started at 11 for my 2 hour drive to Santa Barbara to meet Anna, a dear friend from Ravensburg. On the way I stopped at Venturas Surfer Beach and spent an hour watching some really good dudes and also Stand-Up Surfers, impressing. After another hour driving I arrived at SB, a beautiful student city located between the ocean and the mountains. Nice! I stoped at a surfstore, shopped a really nice sweater and went down to the pier. Almost every city has a pier here, but SBs is definitely one of the nicest ones. (I would show u some photos, but sadly i forgot my Camera at Annas so an update will follow.)


Afterwards I met Anna and one of her friends, we grabbed something to eat and shopped around. Its always the same, a lot of surfshops, some other clothes stores and of course the Apple Store in every city:-) I like that! We went to Annas home and showered, talked and watched a hockey game before we drove down to her university. Its a huge one, I don't know how many students are there, but its huge! And the best thing, directly at the water. We went to a Soccer game of the university team, great! Good football and a lot of fun with all the fans. The team is called Gauchos (or something like that) what is a mexican guy. And so if they score, everybody is throwing taccos down to the field hahaha! Great! The referee seemed to be a bit pissed, but I loved it:-)


As the game was finished we went to a friend of annas house to join them at the OktoberFest party! Isla Vista a district where only students live, and its amazing. You walk down the road and in every single house is a party, hundrets of students partying, bands and djs are playing at the balconies or in the frontyards - ABSOLUTELY GREAT!!! As we came there, all was crowded with germans:-) At least 20 guys...damn! But yeah they were really nice so I dont mind. Funny thing, 4 students of the BA Ravensburg are there...haha poor small world. The location was great, a house directly at the cliff, a wooden balcony with a band playing and more than 50 people drinkin beer and having fun (these are the last few percents to my perfect life here haha). So we hung around, had some beers, talked to germans and HOT americans and played beer pong. I will describe that game another time... Yeah but the funny thing in the USA...at 12pm everythings over. Kind of weird, cause parties in germany are supposed to start at this time, but anyway, knowing of my 2 hour drive I wasn't that sad about this fact. So I brought (YANKEEES JUST WON - DAMN!!! ANGELS ARE OUT NOW...) Anna back home and drove as fast as I could back to LA, cause my health turned bad.

This morning I woke up with a hurting ear, throat, head cold and a bit of feever. Thank you for that! So i spent my day in bed, slept, watched series and cleaned my surfboard. I'm full of medicaments right now (thanks to Georgs Mum for the online doctor support and to my aunt Geli for giving me some tips). I'm high now, taking everything I got here to get well soon again, cause I got plans. My cuz Greg is coming soon and next weekend is Halloween and this will be awesome cause we're in Santa Barbara again. And I wanna go surfing KRUZEFIX!!! ;-)

Now, a movie, some meds and then sleep as long as I can!
See you all soon, dudes!
