My Lightsaber Is Bigger Than Yours

11/01/2005

So, By now you've probably already found out about little Timmy and Michael from DramaQueen. I just wanted to add a little something about that night. It's amazing when people are under the influence how far they really get into the spirit of things. When we were walking around holding hands, the sound of fans really got to me. People made me think that I was really him. After drinking so many beers, I felt like I had touched the Jesus Juice! ughhhhhhh.

A little info, when in doubt for a halloween costume, check out the Goodwill stores. "Thanks Goodwill. Oh yeah, thanks 98.1 for the $500.00 check." It also paid off that when I was a young, I practiced his dancing to the "Off The Wall" album. 35 and still got it baby!!!

My most memorable moment was when I came out the bathroom, and this really drunk woman was waiting there in the hallway saying in slurry sentence. "Heyyyyyy yurrrrr Pah rince" I think she ment to say hey your Prince. I couldn't help, but to get out of her way.....Can't wait til next year!!

What up peeps? I'm feeling much better now that my Dancing Queen is home. Even if she's so sick, the doctor told her not to go back to work! This gives me the opprotunity to take care of her. I get to make her eat soup, make her drink juice, make her take her medicine. This is probably the only time I'll ever get lucky enough to make her do things.ha,ha,ha (well at least what the doctor ordered.

I have a feeling I'm about to get sick myself. And with the weather suddenly changing, it almost feels like the summer days are going to end in a heartbeat.
And it also looks like just a few more weeks of p/t from what my doctor says, and I'll be back to work. So I'm only thinking in my head, Rich, don't get sick when your about to go back to work. I cross my fingers.

I now realize how big of a difference it is from before. Since she was gone. Staying up until 4:00am in morning, with her not there to snuggle with. Eating alone, well not always alone, Mr. Kobi usually ate with me. Even when he was done eating, he still managed to eat with me!

So glad to hear about M's trip being so fun. Despite the fact that half of the group got sick. I only hope those that did, go see the doctor. Cause if you got what M got, don't think taking a couple of advil's is going to help.

I hope everyone can share there stories, and pics one day, "Like Dj John said" It's all about having one last summer bash for the Likha's. One of the coolest peeps. Even when Angelo was the last soldier in late at night, after traveling 30 plus hours. John was there late night, to meet him up with him at the airport, and take him to M's so he could get his car, and go home. Shot's out to John!!!!

Just hasn't been a great day today...I just found out my Godfather is in the hospital. Turns out he had a stroke and was not breathing. They rushed him into the ambulance, but pronounced him as dead. Later, his heart begin to pump again. As of now, my family has said he is not going to make it. I feel so sad as a man. It has been a while since I felt this way. I only wish Maria was here to comfort me, and keep me busy. It sucks being sad, all you do is think of all the good memories of the past. I even feel more like shit, know my godbrothers will now be with out a Dad and Mom. Since my godmother past away when I was young. Neither my brother or I have the heart to go see my godfather in the hospital before he passes. I think we all feel the same way about seeing hime hooked up to a bunch of tubes and wires in his body. Don't want those type of memories....only good ones, damit i cnt writ know more i feel like crying...

this fucking sucks...shit...

I just can't wait for football season to start. Especially after seeing that pre-season game the other day. I don't know if it's me getting older or what?
I used to be into baseball,and basketball too, when I was younger. Now when either of those are on tv, I never fully get into it. Actually, I can't even remember the last time I went to a hoop game, or baseball game.

I guess out of the three sport's football has just stuck with me. A family blood line sort of thing. If you don't know me that well yet, it just so happens that I'm a Raider fan. (So Don't Hate) I guess since one of my first games was when I was a young boy. Kinda reminds me of when your all grown up and take your kid (s) to Disneyland. You begin to transform into a child somewhat. Don't ask me how I just put football and Mickey Mouse together....hhmmm.

I plan on taking Mur to her first Raider Nation game. With people giving us raider fans a bad rep, she is a little hesitant on going. I told her as long as your not an opposing team fan at the game your all good. If you can relate to this, "See You at Da Game!!!!

New status on Kobi..I think he's feeling better, But today had diaheria..like water flowing....Peace out!!!

Well with dog daddy being on vacation, mur in brazil, I really didn't have anything on my plate that was going to keep me busy. So Kobi and I have just being hanging out at the parks these past few days. Today was definitly the hottest day of the year. We ended up hitting up the point(dog park). As soon as we started to walk on the trail along the water. There was drama, Imagine this,.....without M around.j/k M!
So this lady was with her 10yr old daughter walking a fairly small dog. And then this large german shephard wanted to play with him. The owner of the smaller dog was screaming, because the shephard wouldn't let up off playing.

The owners actually exchanged some words of anger. Well the lady that owned the small do did. Then later as Kobi was swimming in the canal. More owners yelling and dogs with defensive barks in the air. This happend almost the whole time we where there. one thing after another.

So if you don't know by now, Kobi is not a big fan of swimming in water with waves.
I just don't think he can swim when it's rough. we happen to be walking along the waves. Somebody got excited and followed another dog down to the water. Where there were waves crashing against the rocks. Both seemed to be thinking about going in as there legs were shaking. I knew Kobi wouldn't go in, so I thought if I threw the tennis ball in the water, mabey the black lab would jump in. And then Kobni would follow right behind him.

Turns out Kobi went in first. Ahh..the moment I have been waiting for. As he nervously plopped in to the water and swam towards the ball. I could sense some urgency that he wanted to rush for the ball since the water was rough. He quickly retrieved the ball and proceede back. While the black lab swam towards him. Kobi got nervous and dropped the ball out of him mouth, and swam back ashore. The things is the black lab seemed like he was going to get the ball, but swam righ behind Kobi.
I almost didn't think they were going to make it back. The current was pushing into them hard, and the waves were providing lot's of extra drinking water in there mouth.
Kobi's head even vanished under water for a second. As they both struggled getting up that first rock. I thought to myself, I guess that's the first and last time I throw his ball in real water.

Later we made it home. Since I drove back with the air conditionor on, I didn't realize how freak'n hot it was until we got out the car. Like always Kobi get's excited when he comes home from the park. He usually runs in the house to his water bowl, picks up a toy in his mouth and throws it across the room. Well, he did his routine thing, but, I noticed he something was bothering him. He kinda paced around nervous. Then started to clear his throat and lick his chops. The it all came right as I got closer to him. GRRlllooowwwfff. Yes he threw up all over the floor. It was so gross, because it was so much. Must have been the like a quart or so... I quickly managed to have him lay on the other side of the room as I used several towels cleaning. Turns out, even though when we were at the park and he did his business several times. The barf had lot's of food in it.

I guess it must have been all the salt water he drank while swimming in the rough waves!!!!!! Or the heat?

The day was pretty good. C, M, and I decided to head to the Sea Breeze Market to meet up with my best friend, his wife, and their cute new baby girl. He told me that his baby, Ryann, was going to be on solid foods very soon. As I listened to him, and looked into his eyes, I was still having a hard time seeing him as a Daddy. But he looked so proud and happy, even with the Baby Bjorn strapped to his chest. Ha, Ha, Ha!

After that, I decided to take C, M, and K to my old stomping grounds....the little Albany Beach. It just so happens that it's right behind the Golden Gate Fields Race Track. This was their first experience venturing there. Right away M was throwing a two foot long stick in the waves as K ran and dove in to the waves to retrieve it.

Meanwhile, my son and I put together his large glider and attempted to fly it into the air. Unfortunately, the wind was blowing too hard. This prevented the glider to sail in the air. Instead it would fly and then the strong wind would slam it into the sandy beach. We couldn't stay long for the fact that M had lots of shopping errands to complete for the big trip to Brazil.

On the way home from the beach, we decided to take K to the pet store for a bath. I managed to get a parking spot right in front of the store doors. It just so happened that the adoption for cats was right out in front of the store. K and M had gotten out of the car as C and I were still trying to do the same. I turned my head towards the sound of the cat adoption ladies saying "Are you okay?" It turned out that K had walked so fast towards the cats, that M ended up tripping over the curb and onto her knee.

My first glance was from the car, and M was staring right at me from the ground in pain. All I could think about was her trip to Brazil, as I rushed over to see if I, too, could assist her. Turns out she was in so much pain. One of the adoption volunteers gave up her chair and told M to sit down. Everyone was talking at once. I wasn't quite sure what to do at that point. So as this older man was saying the same thing had happend to him, I told him straight up, "Look sir, right now is not a good time for your story please, thanks, now beat it" well the "beat it" part was under my breath, but I still didn't feel like hearing that shit. My baby was on the ground. So a lady told me to get some ice at the grocery store. I quickly jumped in the car and hit the market down the block.

Later, she felt okay to walk to the car. We decided to head home until M's laser appointment. We rested for a little. The plan was that K and C were going to stay home while I dropped M off at her 5:30 appointment. Then, I would head to mom's to pick up some of my things in the garage. I came back to pick her up around 7:00 then headed home to pick up C. Our plan was to get some dinner and then head to the stores for M's final touches of shopping for the big trip.

As I backed the car out of the driveway, we noticed two cop cars sitting in front of the lesbian neighbors' house. Then we headed down the steep hill, and two more cop cars were sitting on the corner. My presumption was that they must have someone cornered on the block....maybe in our backyard. Poor Kobi. While driving to Applebee's, we kept trying to put together a scenerio. Dinner was cool, and shopping was aight. But getting home and watching Mad TV was better.

The next day Angelo picked up M for rehearsel. C, K, and I just drove over to Mom's and hung out. Later that night when M came home and our night was about to end, already tucked in the bed, I turned the 10 o'clock news on. After they showed President George Biatch Bush kissing boy scout troops' ass, they mention and highlight that the trail that I walk K on was a murder scene. Two boys were shot and killed and one was critically injured. The suspect had been caught in the back of someone's yard. All just F#$%$ great news before M was getting ready to leave in a few days. Could this had happen when I usually walk K over there?

Here is the link to the news story, with a video. I have a feeling even though there was dark energy in the air, the force was with me!

So I had another physical thearpy appointment in the morning. Afterwards, I decided to head up to Berkeley to catch up on some reading. While I was there, I couldn't resist taking my camera out of the bag and taking a few shots. Here are a few of the 70 or so shots I took.
