It's already the middle of April.... This year's flown by so fast, it's incredible to think that Summer's just around the corner.
Recently, my parents purchased a home in Irvine. It's definitely an awesome pad for single people to live in. I bought some furniture and my friend Jared moved into one of the rooms. I'm excited to have him here and for my buddy Saejoon to move in August. There are definitely some perks to living here but a plethora of cons come w/ the place. For example it sucks is having to always deal with the little things my parents tell me to do.... find a gardner, put all the utilities under my name, deposit rent into their account, keep a record and all of the receipts from the bank, write up a contract to have roomates sign, figure out the sprinkler timer...etc. If there's one thing I dread, it's dealing with them. Honestly, I would rather not live here.... the place is further away from work, further away from my friends, far away from a freeway that I actually use, I have to deal with the things I listed before, and if I don't follow through accordingly to what my parents want, I'm categorized as a slacker and irresponsible in in my dealings. Sadly, I feel like I'm always on-call. When I fail to pick up the phone when they call, the next time I answer the phone, I'm greeted with the fatal, "why don't you pick up your calls?" I love my parents, but I hate feeling I'm under "lock down", especially with this burden of being in charge of renting out their home.
I must say, it's definitely refreshing to get that off my chest.
Brunettes are better...
You know what, I'd have to agree w/ that statement. C'mon now... Prime example: Gwen Stefani's "Cool" music video. She's always been a beautiful blonde, but she's drop dead gorgeous with her dark brown hair. I can think of 2 chix in my ward (which will remain anonymous) who are totally check out material now that they've dyed their hair brown. On the flip side, I know of a girl that had very nice brown hair and has since frosted her hair with blonde and a mix of other colors... She's pretty either way, but I can honestly say she was more attractive previously.
Bro's & their relationships...
so my 2 best friends out here have started to kick it up a notch w/ their dating lives. One's dating this girl exclusively, while the other is making good progress with meeting the one that fits his "criteria." I'm very happy for them. One is dating a chic that I totally approve of. She's nice, she's considerate, she's got pretty eyes and she's totally cool to chill w/. The weird thing is being the "single one" of the group after all those years being the guy who was consumed in relationships. I'll admit that I'm a little scared that I may find myself having to find a new posse to chill w/, but it's all for a good cause.
Powderpuff Football...
We're having another powderpuff game w/ the Tustin/Irvine Branches combined. I've been having powderpuff withdrawls for some time, but luckily because of the great demand for powderpuff football, I get to help coach our team again. It's very rewarding and exciting to coach a team and watch them progress. It's also great to make new friends and connect w/ people I would otherwise never chill w/. We definitely have an awesome group and I feel privileged to be a part of it.
