Winter '08

Hi everyone!!
I have traveled to California in search of happiness and self-transformation!!
I've made a bunch of super cool friends and started getting interested in many different cultural things.
I have been hanging out with my good friend Tony, and he's been showing me around the downtown & surrounding areas.
I am about to return to the northern part where my trip began, to pick up a 72 VW Van, in which i plan to live until something better arises. It was my friend's and he left it to me when a spur of the moment trip to Hawaii presented itself, and he had no one else to take care of it. So, he trusted me most and i am going to take extra good care of it. :)
Aside from traveling, i am learning about the art of spinning Poi. A lot of Tony's friends make their own out of socks and sand and such, and others are so good that they spin with fire on the ends!!! Now that is a sight to see!! I have videos and such, showing this phenomenon. :)
it's so exciting.
I haven't been eating as well as i should, but on a budget of about $10/day one can't get much better deals than Taco Bell, or $1-$2 pizza on certain days.
I plan to get a job as soon as i get back to Santa Cruz with the van.
Then life will be even more exciting b/c i will be getting an income, which at this point is very well needed and deserved.
My fortunes have been getting more and more exciting also!!
I have been doing my tarot cards every week and this past week said something about trying new things, or moving to a new place in 2 out of 4 cards!! one also stated something about having new family - my new friends. & i can't remember what the other one said. I also recently received a fortune in a chinese fortune cookie that reads "You will be showered with good luck before your next birthday" & my birthday is Dec 23rd!!!


Anyways, i'm having lots of good fun & staying super safe.

much love to all-
