I think it’s worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights.

How’d that work out for you? π
How ironic that this racist white guy was fatally shot by another white guy in one of the whitest states in America. ‘Just saying.’
I was eating breakfast at a diner in Joshua Tree this morning, and this loud ass old white guy from Texas was on his phone talking about being a Trump supporter and complaining about ‘idiot millennials’ having their phones glued to their hands at all times.
#1 Sir, you’re the only one in this diner full of younger people who is on their phone – and you’re def not a millennial, but probably an idiot! And #2 Can I fucking enjoy my chicken fried steak in peace?!
The Pioneertown Motel is walking distance to where the concert was at Pappy & Harrietβs, so we could hear them doing sound check from our room.
POV: When you’re standing behind two of the tallest guys on earth (they were at least a foot taller than me, so 6β7+), and they’re super gay and in love, so they’re all over each other throughout the entire show π€ͺ
My stems are sore today bc the show was standing room only for 3 hours. Am I getting too old for this shit? (Don’t answer that).
They only had single rooms left, so we had to share a queen bed. I apologized to Mary in advance and told her I sleep like the purple potato π I am who I am Β―\_(γ)_/Β―
We ate at a diner that Anthony Bourdain once visited π (@ JT Country Kitchen)
I had the country fried steak, which I haven’t had in years since I doordashed it from a Cracker Barrel ghost kitchen and it gave me heartburn π I haven’t had any heartburn or frequent headaches since the stroke – it seems to have cured a lot of my ailments, but 0/10 would not recommend having a stroke π
What I typically snack on when I’m driving to SD from LA: Hot Fries and bottled iced coffee from the gas station
What Pammie packs me when I go back to LA: Bottled water and homemade trail mix that she weighs out based on single serving size (freeze-dried pineapples, freeze-dried mangos, toasted unsalted almonds and dark chocolate covered acai berries)
One time, we were going back to her house from my parents’ house, and we stopped at the gas station. I was like, ‘Do we need snacks?’ and she was like, ‘We are 10 minutes away from my house. This ain’t a road trip!’ π
It took me nearly 3 hours to drive down to SD on a Saturday afternoon. This entitled asshole in a white Audi kept weaving in and out of traffic. His back bumper was missing, probably bc he drives like a fucking idiot. Then, when I was in the fast lane, this group of moms in a minivan who looked like they were on their way to Disneyland (out of state plates and all wearing visors) tried to cross the double-solid lines from the HOV lane into my lane, and I had to swerve into the next lane to avoid crashing into them. Luckily, no one was in the lane next to me, but the driver gave me a dirty look like it was my fault she didn’t know how to fucking drive!
Driving in LA has def made me a better, more aggressive driver, but I can’t wait to not do this commute anymore…
Toured this apartment in downtown SD last night and it surpassed all my expectations:
A ton of tenants already had Halloween decorations out – I’ve found my people π€
Secure garage with gate
Secure elevator that you need a code to use like at a hotel
24-hour fitness center
Rooftop terrace
Pool
Dog-friendly
Didn’t see any children π
Limited homeless population – I was worried there would be a ton of homeless people in the area being downtown, but the property seemed relatively safe and secure
Across the street from Quartyard (where I’ve seen concerts), but the apartment I’m looking at is on the other side of the building, so I won’t have to deal with the noise
The apartment I’m looking at faces this construction site – I found out through some light googling that they’re building East Village Green – a community park
ASA Bakery (Japanese pastries!) is on the same block
The property is only 5 blocks from Petco Park (although the Padres’ postseason hopes are dwindling). I did see a bunch of people in Savannah Bananas gear, as they were in town this weekend for Banana Ball at Petco πβΎ
The property is also walking distance to Callie, this great resto that Jessie frequents and her husband is in a fantasy football league with the staff π We always get VIP treatment there, and Jess was able to get us a table without reservations even though they were booked for the night.
Mediterranean Feast + much needed drinks with the girls. We try to get together at least once a month, but it’s been a few months despite our daily group chats. Lots of updates all around that were better to discuss in person, not a group chat where screenshots and receipts could be collected π Can’t wait to be back in SD for more nights like this…
I’ve only lived in 3 apartments on my own in this life, and I have a habit of signing the lease for the first apartment I look at. My sister and her husband think I should look around at other neighborhoods before settling on this property, but I’m already in love.
The bestie moved out of El Cajon (and SD) while I was in LA, so thereβs no other reason for me to look in East County. My parents are still in Spring Valley and my sister (plus my ex and old friends) live in Chula Vista, so I donβt really wanna be too close LOL. I always said Iβd live in North Park if I ever moved back to SD. I liked that it was central, walkable, and dogs are welcome almost anywhere. But I used to see this fuckboi in North Park who lived on Arizona street, and also ended a few situationships there, so I have less than fond memories of that area. My dad actually used to live in North Park before he met my mom, but that was when it was really ghetto he says π Now itβs gentrified, full of coffee shops, breweries and hipsters.
Living downtown never appealed to me before, but I like having nice things now π
I bought these mints off Instagram, partly because I’m the ultimate consumer, but mostly because I get severe cottonmouth whenever I take gummies (I only take them when I go to a concert or get anxious – so all the time π ).
But I just saw this TikTok reel promoting the same product for something else entirely – ‘sloppy toppy’ π³
When I was little, my mom and her sisters – who were in their 20s at the time – got into a fight with these girls who wouldn’t let my grandma use the water fountain at the park. My uncle took me and the rest of the kids home while my mom and her sisters stood on business LOL. I remember my aunt pulled out their braids and took their watches. I was maybe 6-years-old, but it’s a core memory for me, guys π
Don’t mess with the Cuevas ladies… They’re even crazier in their 60s π
Scheduled a tour for an apartment in downtown SD this weekend, but also ran into my new next door neighbor today – a tall white guy with two 6yo gray frenchies who are sisters (he got them right before covid, so they’re stage-5 clingers). The first thing I usually notice on a guy is if he’s wearing a wedding ring or not, but I was too busy loving on his sweet dogs in the elevator to notice. Besides, I don’t shit where I sleep (anymore π ).
One: don’t pick up the phone
You know he’s only callin’ ’cause he’s drunk and alone
Two: don’t let him in
You’ll have to kick him out again
Three: don’t be his friend
You know you’re gonna wake up in his bed in the morning
And if you’re under him, you ain’t gettin’ over him
I got new rules, I count ’em
As I was eating my Hodad’s burger, I saw this burly ass dude sipping on a red fruity yard slush from Frozen Friar like he was at a bachelorette party in Vegas, while his wife was chugging a beer. There are two types of drinkers in the world and these two married each other π
