Yesterday was a great day.

Much beer.
Many friends.
Mojo flowing.

Even the Cubs won.

Now it's time to get Syczed.

For the first time I had to walk out of a classroom, with my charge, because of how out of control it was. If I have children, and if I'm still living in LA, I promise that they will not be attending an LAUSD school.

10 hours till birthday fun time.

Update: The autistic child I worked with just sang me happy birthday, gave me a big hug, and just said, "A new age has dawned."

Yes. A new age has dawned.

Rory Gallagher - Too Much Alcohol

Speaking of drinking...

I got a birthday gift for myself. It's awesome in theory. Kind of hard to use though. I need to walk through the audio settings to get a good sound transfer. Also I can't figure how to get an audio play back before I convert the track to an mp3. It's probably a Vista thing. Regardless, it's my new toy and I like it.

I'm watching a soccer game right now. USA vs. Guatemala. Guatemala plays dirty.

I just got my first installment of modern reformation. It's awesome. By the way, it was a drunk subscription.

My fishing experience last Saturday was completely different from every other fishing trip I've ever been on. I am more use to fishing for freshwater trout and bass in lakes and rivers. I have been out in the ocean before, most recently bill fishing in Hawaii, but all those trips were pretty boring. Maybe a few bites in four hour time period.

With a bunch of guys from church, we sailed out of Marina Del Rey on a boat called the New Del Mar. Dirty looking vessel. There were about 35 people on the boat and I think the most accurate way of describing all of us collectively would be a floating dive bar. We had some Latino gangsters, some bros, old men, young men, illegal immigrants, large burly women, fathers with sons and daughters, wives getting sick, African Americans, old rugged china men, young naive white men, and a couple actors.

Once on the boat the captain took us to the cliffs near Palos Verdes, about a mile off shore, when at some point he started strange grunting noises over the PA and then immediately started yelling at his crew to chum the water all the sardines they could throw. On the captain's call, everyone with a rod in hand threw jigs, lures, or live bait in the water and began to furiously reel in barracuda.

Within 15 minutes the deck was writhing with fish, blood and boots stomping down on the heads of these beasts. I guess there is a necessity to kill them right away upon entering the boat because of the damage they can do with their sharp teeth. At one point the barracuda were jumping out of the water right next to our boat. One of the guys next to me mentions that the scene reminded him of Braveheart.

As a testament to my fishing prowess, I caught only one. The boat total was 270. We only fished for a couple hours.

I need to go back. Maybe in a couple weeks. Hopefully for the whole day next time.
No party for Friday. Going to the Red Lion for food and drinks. 7:30pm.

I've been tired all day. Still recovering from yesterday. Church was great today. Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard. Grace bomb.

Birthday is on Friday. Looks like the party will be on Friday.

I'm still too tired to write about fishing. Tomorrow.

I found what I'm getting myself for my birthday. I'll tell about later if I get it.

Sleep time.

Very good day. I'm too tire to post about it right now.

All I can say is:
Fishing
Golfing
Drinking
36 inch pizza
Beer

Good night

Got my car back. I looked at the parts and labor and it totaled to about $2k. Damn. Thank God for the 30 day warranty.

Going fishing tomorrow. I think about 10 guys from church are going. It should be fun.

The Cubs are playing like sorry pieces of shit. And they are even fighting amongst themselves.
