California Hugs

Haha what a day...

At first i thought today was going to drag on and be boring but it was the complete opposite. Our family today decided to go somewhere....they didn't know where to go, so we just went to go eat at my dad's favorite Mexican restaurant El Torrito. The time there was fun, i stuffed some "flautas" and got a free ice cream :)
After that we just drove ad drove and drove...I was tired but in the back seat of the car there was 3 other people sitting with me which made it impossible to fall asleep. My legs were folded and crammed up. I didn't complain i just sat and twisted my body in different ways to look for a comfortable position to sleep in. Time passed by and we showed up at Venice Beach! haha i love this place, full of true Californians and lots of art, music and complete randomness. We walked down the path by the shore where all the stores are, we checked out a couple things, took pictures, and laughed at all the weird things that we saw. It was a little awkward being there with my family especially when they were asking me how the whole "medical marijuana" business worked. I don't know it just didn't feel right haha. While we were walking down we saw a really kool wall and i just HAD to take a picture of it. Its some really kool art work and i love all the characters, it gives the street a personality.

After Venice Beach we headed over to Santa Monica Pier where we took some amazing pictures of the sunset and of the water. We walked a little and went on the actual Pier. Here i was shocked to see a guy holding up a sign that said free hugs. It's not that i have never seen this before, it's just i actually had a chance at doing it. None the less I walked off without my hug. I felt like i kinda betrayed myself but it was ok. We walked a little further and we took some kool pictures and looked at other kool stuff. After we filled our souls with entertaining memories we decided to head back. On our way back i saw the same sign, tempting me to do something about it...but this time, it was a girl holding it. To be honest i feel way more comfortable hugging a woman than a man. So i went for it...I got my hug, i got to sign her poster and i walked off with a smile on my face, all the way to the car, knowing i did something different and meaningful.

The car ride back was just as painful as the ride there. To be honest my back hurts a lot and i got scared when my leg fell asleep and i couldn't lift it up...haha idk it was crazy

Other than having an awesome day today, i found out I'm going to have an even awesome-er day tomorrow haha I'm going to Disneyland again but this time with 3 very special people haha I'm really exited.
That's about it for today, im going to bed because i have to wake up early tomorrow soooo

The Happiest Place in Cali!

Soo sorry about the late-ness of my blog but its just i was too tired yesterday, but i promised i would do it today haha even though i rather be taking a shower -_-"

So the morning was simple, i woke up and showered, ate breakfast and waited for about an hour an a half for everyone else to finish getting ready. We hit the road and set off on our adventure!!

In Morning and Amazing...
I started by playing an old play list i had on my i-pod that had Circa Survive, Dance Gavin Dance, Closure in Moscow and ummm thats about it. The first song that played was "In Morning and Amazing" by Circa Survive (awesome song) it reminded my of Bamboozle a couple months ago. Then from there i listened to Dance Gavin Dance and had to listen to the song "Skyhook" After a couple more Circa Songs i landed on Closure and listened to their cover of "Pony" (which i talked about in another blog) and that really did bring a smile to my face, that song always does! Before i knew it i was at Dland!!!

Skyhook
Once we got there i began enjoying every minute of my time there, i LOVE the smell of Disneyland (idk its weird). Every single ride and area has its own smell and feeling haha but we started with the best. Tomorrowland!!! haha there we got fastpasses for Space Mountain and rode AstroBlasters, (which i owned at) and then rode Star Tour. I really love Star Tours, its one of those rides that lets you know your still a kid and idk the whole adventure and excitement always leaves me wanting for more.

I rode Nemo's Underwater Voyage for the first time and i REALLY liked it haha it was really fun i don't know how, it just was.

From there we went to Peter Pan i believe, and rode that, (there are plants in the ride that have 7 leaves O_o" if you know what that means...crazyyyy) Afterward we got fastpasses for Indiana Jones and ran to ride Space Mountain!!!! Man ! what a ride!!!! that has to be one of my favorites, we rode in front and it felt like i was going UBERfast. My hairs was going crazy haha. That ride left me like...shocked haha i missed it...

Pony
We decided to eat outside of the park because we don't want to spend a lot of money inside so we hit up MickeyD's (McDonalds). There i was starving but...i just got two McChicken's with a small drink, i didn't want to waste money either lol...After we ate we headed back and rode a lot of things...too many i can't even remember...We rode Its a small world...i fell asleep, We rode Haunted Mansion and umm sorry...i fell asleep haha, i love both rides i was just tired...We rode Pirates that was fun and same with Thunder Mountain.

After riding Indiana Jones we slowed down and decided to wait for Fantasmic (fireworks/water show). There we told jokes and just kicked it until the thing began. We got to see the Fantasmic Crew Members organizing and making a plan and such for the event. I thought it was pretty funny haha.

When he show began i had already seen it before so I thought i wasn't going to be memorized like the rest of my family but i was. That show was sublime, I loved it sooo much i want to go see it again. Thanks to that show i realized i LOVE Peter Pan idk why or how he is just a BAMF i think hes my new fav. Disney Character...crazyyyy

After that show was done we took a bathroom break and watched the other fireworks show which was kool but not as amazing as the 50th Anniversary one...that one is HxC!!(hardcore) haha After that we left the park, we were all tired and my nose couldn't take anymore of the amazing Disneyland Smells lol

The ride back was silent, my phone was dying so i couldn't listen to music :(

Other than that the whole day was truly amazing, can't wait till i come back, hopefully with a couple of my friends so we can do some dumb crap haha

The pics are all pretty bad sorry i didn't have time to stop and take really good ones so excuse me for that
talk to u guys later
