1. New apartment[/b] - living out on the westside of LA AKA Westwood. Loving the fact that there is 15 different eatiereis within a block of my front door.
2. New Girl[/b] - finally ended a long time crush and pushed on to a much more realer level. This ones a keeper too, the toilet was clogged at the new place and she took care of getting a plaummer. If thats not girlfriend status I don't know what is

4. Finally got some contact info on Chi Ali[/b] - been trying to reach him for a possible story idea for a hot minute and one of my homies was able to get him for a show he did (see the Chi ali on E! thread)
5. Feeling in shape[/b] Been training for a 6k race and I'm feelin it!
1. I'm moving to New Zealand! Only for about 5-6 months, but after being in a fair rut, work and life wise, and going through an awful break up, I'm very excited. My cousin lives over there, so I got a job and place to stay sorted.
2. My life is actually pretty exciting at the moment with planning my trip and stuff, and there's been some good parties lately, having a heap of fun djing with two good mates and I've cemented some great friendships over the past few months.
3. My Grandmother had a stroke a few months ago and has gone from the hospital to a rehab clinic and now we're looking at retirement homes for her, and it's looking like she'll be ok.
4. For the past month or so, I've been spending a heap on records.
5. I've had a big appetite for books recently, which always makes me happy.
BAD
Nothing really, I'm a bit stressed because I have to sort out University for next year, but really that's a good thing.
Woohoo, good wins!
1) Lots of great finds recently
2) New Car
3) My Website is almost done
4) Finally made an apple pie
5) Did I mention lots of great finds? Ok, just kidding. Fun with friends goes here.
LOW
1) Unproductive lately, trying to do too much at once.
2) Guy pulled a Shrine record right in front of me. He's a friend and I'm happy for him but still.....the Cautions guys.
3) Uncreative daytime job
4) Car is getting bad gas milage but probably just cause it's new
5) Club/bar tried to underpay me in light of the owner and manager being on vacation.
Nice! I just cracked 49min on 10K, which was nice for me, since I'm a miserable jogger.
1. The Fall Season. By far, my favorite time of the year.
2. Upcoming trip to the Pacific NW.
3. My health. I've quit smoking (for maybe the 10th time in the past 3 years) and cut back on my drinking. I even get up early on Saturdays and run. This Saturday I plan on running 12 miles.
4. Extra $$$ in my bank account.
5. Planning to get rid of a lot of records that I don't like. I think I'll start clearing shit out on Saturday. Would like to get the collection down to 650 total (if not less).
1. Spent Saturday afternoon on Sandy Hook (NJ beach state park), first feeding my 7 week old son while listening to 'Bringing It All back Home' on the iPod, then walking with my wife and sons to the beach to watch the ocean liners go under the Verrezano Bridge and out to sea as the sun set. Perfection.
2. Listening to a lot of Fela Kuti (and reading a biography). Funky and inspirational
3. New finds all the time
4. Fall is on the way.
5. Tropicalia

2 - new local, the town is way better than i would have guessed,
folks are super nice & chill, very sweet & like minded neighbors,

not sure which is said more often,
"can't believe how cheap everything is" or
"how nice & helpfull people are"

4 - school, both the ladies are up in it
(teaching or attending) & loving it
gives me some unfettered free time & space

can't hardly wait
