Kuwait

Worth visiting!

a year here

Although the army had me jumping around the desert for almost a year and doing all sorts of stupid shit. The time I spent in Kuwait City was nice. I would like to go back and explore it on my own. Every local I met there was really nice and chill.

Iraq

Not worth visiting!

thanks to the army

i got to spend about 5 months here from the beginning of the war to saddam’s capture. got to see almost all of the country. headquartered in baghdad at camp victory, then it had no name; and went on to see babylon, kirkuk, mosul, biap, and too many other shit holes my wonderful officers decided they wanted to visit. if you want to go, either take a gun and lots of ammo or wait 15 years until we’re out of there and the country is on it’s own doing well

Arizona

Worth visiting!

the army

got sent here for 4 and a half years. spent a year and a half in iraq and kuwait. but this was my second home. been all over this state and I had a ton of fun! it might seem boring, but you just have to dig under the sand and dirt a little bit and you can find all sorts of things to do. mountain climbing, bar hopping, off roading, concerts, street racing, and lots of scorpions!

Pacific Coast Highway

Worth visiting!

a long ass highway

I was driving from S.F. back to L.A. then off to AZ. Damn I didn’t expect how beautiful it was going to be and as LONG of a drive it was. After the first 12 hours I thought I accidentally drove into Mexico. Thankfully that was just Pedro, Juan and some of their friends picking strawberries in soCal

Los Angeles

Worth visiting!

lol... boss trip

So here my friend Steve and I are in the middle of L.A. on an army sponsored trip. ABout 30 soldiers and 1 first sergeant. We get rooms at a hostel by mistake and that’s where it all went down hill. The first sergeant got pissed and let everyone go their own way, as long as they showed back up the next morning in any way shape or form. he didn’t care. So Steve and I took off, on our own, in L.A. for the first time. We get lost as all hell, try and figure out the public transportation after getting ripped off by a cabbie and explore the city. Next thing I know we are passing through compton around midnight trying to get to the beach only to end up at the docks! Thankfully we weren’t mugged or killed and I am still here to tell this paraphrased story.

Amoeba Music

Worth visiting!

A review of this place: this place rocks!

Thank you Antonio! this music store is so awesome it can almost be overwhelming. anything and everything you could want and then some. You could spend a week in there before you got close to getting close to browsing through all the music. Even better is their music catalog that lets you scan in the barcode of an album and listen to it before you buy it! rock on!

Golden Gate Bridge

Worth visiting!

getting to s.f.

This bridge is awesome! the view is spectacular but trying to get on it is friggin’ rediculous. Must take me at least 30 mins waiting in line at the toll to get on this beast!
