Left Orange County on a Wednesday afternoon, leaving behind 90 degree heat. Arrived in Oakland, beautiful skies. Bart into the city, welome to the fog. Unzip the suitcase, bust out the jacket. This is why I am living in Orange County. At the bart station: Little kids making their moves, trying to holla, not very smooth. This is why I am living single.


Woke up Thursday morning. Decked out in a black suit, with my Nike Blazers. Took the kids to school, dim sum on noriega, cruise with the mommy downtown to the salon. 10am. Larkin and Geary. Running for the 38. Not running from a man who was trying to make a move. To Market St.


The annual Summer Search Luncheon was held once again at the Four Seasons on Market St. This year's goal to raise: $600,000. Achieved $620,000. Holla!! About 600 folks mingling, drinking, listening, inspiring, admiring to the youth of today, and the leaderships of tomorrow. Reunited with the many people in my life who have inspired, motivated, and dedicated their time to the development of my growth. A great feeling to have such support and a talented powerful network of people who are making a difference, contributing to the world, expanding the legacy.


MC for the event: Cang

The brotha rocked it out on the mic. Congratulations! He made a prominent speech featuring the elements of failure, love, future success, and entrepreniuership. Let's give it up to Cang! A round of applause, a standing ovation.


After hours of conversing, Cang I and headed back to Dodge & Cox. The sun shines, the wind blows. Cang admires watching my hair blow in the wind. Crazy boy! Walked to the Bank of America building on Montgomery. 40th floor, up we go! As always, an unbreathable view of the city from above. Cang went back to his office, I headed to the trading floor to say hi to the folks. Every visit is a welcoming visit. I miss this place! I love the people! I miss the city!


Spent the rest of the day roaming the city. Replaced the heels with my Blazers. It has been an amazing day!

The city:





Newport Beach, Orange County

Over the 405, and back in the 714.
It's great to be back in my own bed.
Time to be a beach babe and a beach bum.






An amazing time in the city,
an enticing time in the city,
a cruel cruel city.

The city is one big tease
to get me to move back.

I roam the city, moan,
my mouth foams, is it time to bone?

Round II comes in June.

Happy Birthday Frank!!!! I hope this year topped your last year celebration! At least no one passed out this year, and no yak to clean. A whole year has passed since last, it came too fast, seems as if we're moving beyond the speed of nagger mode. hahaha.

Dinner was delicious: Lucille's BBQ at Lake Forest. Pork Chop was bomb. A little surprise cake for the birthday boy!

The car was loaded with beach gear. We were ready for a bomb-fire down at Corona Del Mar. But it was too late to make it down there before the beach patrol starts regulating.

Somebody left there ID in LA (...Taryn) =) so to Dave & Buster we go in Irvine. We came up with buckets of tickets. Had enough to get Frank a souvenir for New York when he goes to grad school. He refused to get a Kobe nagger pillow, a smell-my-finger pen, a plastic generic New York silver chain, the sugar-daddy pillow (which has a very soft tip), and best of all he refuse to get some GOLD GRILLZ (instructions to put on grillz included). Frank ended up walking away with a coffee mug. Lame!

Back to the apartment we go! Pick up Arnold in the parking lot, Frank picked up the booze, and the card games begin. YouTube, Magic tricks, Deuces and the card on the forehead. That deserves 4 nagger clicks. We are a bunch of damn Nabers, laughing, and cracking, having a good time. By the end of the night, the Nagger Activity Counter read: 38. We ended the night forgetting to sing karaoke. 4 in the morning: Out the door everyone goes. Alone on my living room floor, I couple more hits for me and I'm good. Shower, bed, nothing feels better than being under my sheets. Sleep.

In the desert forever, burning in 100 degree heat, drinking to Heineken, sitting in grass. The Green Green Grass. The music blast, the people roam, the sun-sets, the lights glow, the crowd grows, louder and louder, the fun never ends. Live it, Love it!
