a few days ago i took a mini vacation up north to chico to visit a good friend. we spent the weekend talking about life, playing basketball, playing music (and recording drum samples), eating good food, watching movies (batman begins was surprisingly good), relaxing in the creek at the park and exploring table mountain in butte county. it was probably the most relaxed i have been in a long time and i really enjoyed myself. it was both happy and sad to see some familiar places that i have alot of memories attached to, but these are the pieces of me and i'm glad they exist. see some photos of the trip in the photo gallery.
