What’s UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUP?

Back from my trip to the beautiful state of Cali! Dammit what a good trip it was. One of the best I have ever had. My Uncles treated me so well and took complete care of me. I mean, from the wonderful food to the 150 drinks I had, everything was top notch and laden with class. I felt like I had stepped out of my economical strife and into a world filled with beauty.

Their house is unbelievable and comes with a fully functioning hot tub! They have an incredible dog named “Sundance”. They have a wine cellar and a fully refurbished kitchen that puts the ones one MTV’s “Cribs” to shame. They own Playstation 2 and the biggest television I have ever sat in front of. Really, being at their home was one of the most incredibly fun experiences I have ever had.

They took me all over the city. We saw Lombard street and the Golden Gate Bridge and City Hall and the Opera House. We frequented the Castro district and quite a number of the other famous sites. They took me to see Beach Blanket Babylon and out to the most luxurious dinner I have ever eaten. We went to a gay bar and played cards for hours. And most importantly, we talked our faces off and really got to know each other.

Saying goodbye to them was very difficult. It was a whirlwind trip and I fell into the trap of loving SF too much. Of every place I have ever been blessed to visit, San Francisco is, by far, the most beautiful. I could definitely see myself settling down there. The whole city smells like flowers and the people are so relaxed. At no point did I feel intimidated or uncomfortable. I love it there and am desperate to go back again next year.

My uncles treated me like a princess. They did my laundry for me, made me fantastic dinners, and offered everything they own to me as though I live in their house with them. They even had a gift bag with tons of fun stuff in it waiting on the bed for me when I arrived. They are so sweet and funny and smart. I spent a great deal of time discussing my relationship with Paul and they gave me better advice than I have gotten from most of the outlets that I have pursued. I left California feeling refreshed and ready to tackle my life in NYC. Yet, nothing could prepare me for the strong smell of piss that I encountered after exiting the airport. (Some things never change)

So now I am back.

I had dinner last night with the cast of Stupid Kids. Everyone, except for Ian, showed up. Meaning, see ya later Ian. Nice knowing you. I’m actually not upset about it at all. I tried to be his friend and he just doesn’t seem to care. It happens. I have other friends. Like 3.

Please.

I have at least 7.

Anyhow, I spoke with Kelly at great lengths about the next project that the Theater Company is planning. I am very excited to continue with them over the next couple of months. Details will surely follow.

Now, I have to plan for Halloween, look into auditioning for something in the city, and clean out the hamster’s cage. But other than that, I feel pretty good about being home and in my own bed. I will surely miss the life of San Francisco, but I will just keep the idea of visiting there again next year very fresh in my mind.

Time to go take a huge dump.

You understand.

Peace!
