SURPRISE DAY TRIP TO CALI

SO AS A SURPRISE TO MY BUDDY THAT GOT MARRIED, ME AND ANOTHER BUDDY TOOK HIM TO CALI FOR THE WEEKEND. WHEN I SAY WEEKEND IT WAS MORE LIKE ONE DAY... ONE REALLY REALLY REALLLLLLLLLLY LONG AND TIRING DAY. BASICALLY WE WENT OVER TO HIS PLACE AND WE HUNG OUT THEN I SAID HEY!!! PACK A BAG WE GOING TO THE AIRPORT. THATS ALL. HE WAS CONFUSED FOR A SECOND AND WE SAID AGAIN TO PACK A BAG AND THAT WE WERENT JOKING. WE WERE VERY SERIOUS. ANYWAYS WE HAD A 6AM FLIGHT SO WE JUST TOOK A NAP AT HIS PLACE. THE ISSUE IS THAT ME AND BUDDY WOKE UP BUT THE BUDDY WHO GOT MARRIED WOKE UP, WENT BACK TO SLEEP... I WOKE HIM UP AGAIN AND HE WENT BACK TO SLEEP. DAMMIT BRO!!! WTF!!! SO WE GET TO THE AIRPORT, TIRED AS HELL, GET ON THE PLANE, TIRED AS HELL, AND WE ARRIVE IN LA!!! FIRST STOP WAS VENICE BEACH, WALKED THE BOARDWALK AND CHECKED OUT THE SIGHTS. CHECKED OUT MUSCLE BEACH AND DID YOU KNOW THERES A $10 DAY PASS... WTF I THOUGHT IT WAS FREE... LIKE HELL I WOULD PAY $10 TO WORK OUT THERE... ITS ALL RUSTY ASS SHIT AND BROKEN... I WOULDNT NOT PAY BUT IT WOULD BE FOR THE EXPERIENCE AND THE PHOTOS BUT MEH. THERES ALSO A LOT OF HOMELESS PEOPLE THERE... GET A JOB DAMMIT! THEN OFF TO SANTA MONICA. WE WENT TO EAT FIRST SINCE IT WAS LIKE NOON AND WE HAVENT EATEN IN LIKE HALF A DAY NOW... WENT TO BRUXIE AND THE CHICKEN AND WAFFLES WAS AMAZING!!! OMG IT HAD A FRIED EGG ON TOP THAT WAS YOLKY TOO. BREADED PERFECTLY AND THE WAFFLE WAS CRISP AND NOT SOGGY AT ALL OR TOO THICK EITHER. WE WERE ALL STUFFED AFTER THAT. HAD TO TOTALLY WALK IT OFF SO WE WENT OT THE PIER. NOTHING REALLY COOL AT THE PIER BUT IT WAS MORE FOR THE SIGHTS AND PHOTOS. GOT TO THE END OF THE PIER AND IT WAS WINDY AS HELL!!! MY HAIR GOT MESSED UP. THEN IT WAS OFF TO HOLLYWOOD. WALKED DOWN THE HOLLYWOOD STARS STREET AND CHECKED OUT THE CHINESE THEATRE AND JUST ALL THE SIGHTS THERE AS WELL. THEN WENT TO RODEO DRIVE BUT ONLY REALLY DROVE THROUGH JUST CRUISING. THEN WENT TO GRIFFITH OBSERVATORY AND HOLY CRAP WAS THAT PLACE PACKED. SOMETHING WAS GOING ON SO THERE WAS NO PARKING IN THE MAIN LOT... JUST KEPT ON DRIVING BACK DOWN AND FOUND A SIDE PARKING WHICH IS NOT REALLY A PARKING BUT EVERYONE DOES IT ANYWAYS. THE WALK WOULD HAVE BEEN WAY TOO FAR TO WALK BACK UP TO CHECK IT OUT, BUT THERE WAS THIS AREA BEYOND THE GUARDRAIL SORT OF LIKE A CLIFF MOUNTAIN PASS. I MEAN BOTH SIDES WAS A SHEER DROP BUT YOU CAN WALK OUT FARTHER AND ITS A CLEAR SHOT OF DOWNTOWN LA. SCREW THE OBSERVATORY!!! THERE WAS NO ONE HERE, AND THE ONLY PEOPLE WILLING TO WALK OUT WERE THE PEOPLE WHO WERENT AFRAID LOL. GOT SOME PHOTOS THERE AND WENT BACK TO DOWNTOWN. THEN IT WAS TIME FOR DINNER. WENT TO THIS STEAKHOUSE THAT BASICALLY COME BY WITH DIFFERENT TYPES OF MEAT AND IF YOU WANT IT THEY GIVE IT TO YOU. THE ISSUE WAS THAT WE SAT NEXT TO THE KITCHEN EXIT AND THE MEAT DID NOT STOP. ITS JUST KEPT COMING AND COMPING. WE HAD TO STOP AND JUST TO FINISH OUR FOOD. WE WERE ALL SO STUFFED THAT WE HAD TO TAP OUT. WE WERE SO FULL THAT WE JUST DROVE AROUND FOR A WHILE. THEN CHECKED OUT THE NIGHTLIFE A BIT WHICH WAS PRETTY DEAD... UNLESS WE DIDNT KNOW WHERE WE WERE GOING... THEN WENT TO CHECK OUT THE LAMPPOSTS. THIS WAS SOMETHING I WANTED TO DO BUT THANKS TO THE STUPID CONSTRUCTION WE HAD TO DRIVE AROUND DETOURING JUST TO FIND IT. I THINK IT WAS WORTH THE PHOTOS, ALSO SINCE WE HAD TIME. WE ENDED EARLY SO WE JUST HEADED BACK TO THE RENTAL CAR PLACE AND PASSED OUT TIL THEM OPEN AND THEN OFF TO THE AIRPORT. GOT THERE AROUND 530AM I GUESS AND THEN WE ALL JUST SLEPT TIL OUR FLIGHT AND SLEPT SOME MORE ON THE PLANE... SO BASICALLY I WAS UP LIKE 35 HOURS STRAIGHT AND WAS ON LIKE 55 HOURS WITH BARELY ANY SLEEP AND WHEN I GOT HOME I TOOK A NAP... WHICH TURNED INTO 7 HOUR SLEEP... WOKE UP WENT TO BED FOR ANOTHER 8 HOURS... I HAVNT SLEPT LIKE THAT IN A LONG TIME HAHA. THEN BACK TO NORMAL. IT WAS MOST DEFINITELY ONE OF MY QUICKEST TRIPS EVER. SPENT 24 HOURS IN LA AND DID A LOT OF STUFF. MY BUDDIES NEVER BEEN SO IT WAS A DIFFERENT EXPERIENCE JUST TO CHECK EVERYTHING OUT. I HAVNT BEEN THERE FOR LIKE 20 YEARS OR SOMETHING AND SOME PLACES I NEVER WENT TO EITHER. IT WAS A NICE PACKED FUN TRIP. GOTTA TRY SOMETHING LIKE THIS ANOTHER TIME SOMEWHERE ELSE. UNTIL THEN...

MOVIE OF THE WEEK WITH THE GF WAS GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY: VOLUME 2. SPOILERS!!! I LIKED THE FIRST ONE AND THE SECOND ONE WAS GOOD AS WELL. I LIKED IT A LOT. IT HAD ACTION, COMEDY, ROMANCE, SUSPENSE, AND SURPRISES. CHRIS PRATT, BAUTISTA, ZOE SALDANA, BRADLEY COOPER, VIN DIESEL, MICHAEL ROOKER, AND KAREN GILLIAN ALL RETURN IN THIS MOVIE. KURT RUSSELL IS IN IT TOO. THE CHARACTERS ARE MORE ESTABLISHED AND I LIKE THE MOVIE BUT SOMETHING ABOUT THE STORY I DIDNT REALLY LIKE. A LOT OF IT WAS ACTUALLY PREDICTABLE. SOME OF THE FUNNY PARTS WERE IN THE TRAILER ALREADY SO THAT WAS JUST MEH. I THINK THE MOVIE COULD HAVE STEPPED IT UP A BIT, AND SOME OF THE PARTS WAS CHEESY AS WELL AS WELL. SERIOUSLY VIN DIESEL GET PAID BIG TIME TO DO GROOT. I JUST REALIZED THERES NOT MUCH OF A SPOILER IN THIS POST LOL. ANYWAYS OVERALL IT WAS A FUN MOVIE, THERE WERE SOME OTHER CAMEOS AND ALSO SOME OTHER REFERENCES THAT YOU WOULD CATCH IF YOU PAID ATTENTION. OH AND THIS GUY IN FRONT OF ME IN THE D BOX HAD HIS STUPID HEAD BLOCKING ME RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SCREEN. ARG YOU KIDDING ME!!! YOURE NOT EVEN TALL SO WHY THE HELL ARE YOU SITTING LIKE THAT. OMG HE KEPT LEANING BOTH SIDES JUST TO HOLD HIS GIRLS HANDS GOD DAMMIT WANTED TO KICK HIS STUPID HEAD FOR BLOCKING ME. OH YA I GIVE THE MOVIE 8.3-8.5-8.9/10 YA... THATS HOW UNSURE I AM OF ITS RANKING HAHA. YA I KNOW I DIDNT HAVE TO PUT THE 8.5 BUT I HAD TO. I JUST HAD TO LOL
