Southern Cali

It's labor day today. I'm sitting in my apartment looking around at the plain walls. I can't believe I'm moving out. My life that I started down in Southern Cali is pretty much over. Five years... so much has happened in those five years, so many memories, so many great friends, and great times.

This weekend was great. I arrived on Friday and visited with some great friends. Friday night, my girls and I went out to dinner and then went home to have a martini and watch some tv together. It was a fairly low key night. Saturday I ended up going shopping for a few needed items. Saturday night was great. My friend Lans and I went with our friend Aron to a salsa gig. OH man, I had a great time and a few martinis (ok, maybe more than a few). The crowd was kinda old though, but the music was great. hehe, some pictures to come...

Sunday I ended up packing up a lot of stuff. Went to Cheesecake factory where I got a piece of GODIVA chocolate cheesecake... can I just say, oh MY GOD (that stuff could almost be compared to sex)?!! Then a bunch of met up at the movie theater to watch a late flick. So far, it has been a great weekend.

I'm gonna miss living down here. Maybe there is something more for me than LA... My old dream about playing and pursuing a degree in chamber music is now a possibility that I could easily make into a reality... well, probably not easily.

I guess I will finish packing up my books, finish taking the pictures off the wall and put them into boxes. It's an end of an era... but a new beginning. A fresh start for myself and MY life. Maybe letting go of the past isn't such a bad thing? Now I can make room for myself and think about what I want... and it is really a wonderful thought. So, maybe what is in the past should be left in the past. This is kinda of a sick thought, but if you pick at a scab, you might create a scar. So leave well enough alone, right?
