"Camping" in Santa Barbara

Memorial Day weekend, my friends Chris, Blake & I took a trip up to check out Santa Barbara. It was about a 2 1/2 hour drive up the coast from Los Angeles. Our plan was to drive up and check out the beaches on the way and then find a hotel to stay at in Santa Barbara.

Santa Barbara is beautiful. After walking around and grabbing a late lunch, we then drove around looking for a hotel with a vacancy. Everywhere seemed to be sold out for the night or had a 2-3 night minimum. I used my phone to try and find a place for us to stay but no luck.

Finally, the Sand's Inn had a vacancy... but there was a catch. It was a conference room where they rolled cots in and a TV. It was a section of a much larger conference room where they used removable (not sound proof) walls to create smaller rooms. Luckily, it did have a private bathroom with a shower. The price was right and we took it.

This was as close to camping I ever want to get.

Bronies; A New Bromance

As a child, my mother gave my twin brother and I My Little Ponies to play with. As kids, we must of asked my mother to get them for us. But, who knows. I don't think we ever asked for a real pony. (Mom, did we?) Luckily, we grew out of the pony fettish. However, it looks like some still are getting their My Little Pony fix. Welcome, The Bronies!!!

Not Guilty?

I think my brother Jeremy put it best about the verdict of Casey Anthony.

"She was not found to be "innocent". She was "not guilty". It's like don't call someone ugly, just say they're "not pretty". "

Is it me??

A while ago a friend fowarded a funny video to me. However, he forgot to remove the message when it was sent to him. This was the email he recieved along with the video.
