amazing journey

today i went on an awesome scooter ride with my friends dara, dave and tanya, we met up in sausalito and rode our trusty steeds down into fort baker before winding up the hill to the top of the marin headlands. at the top are old world war two military buildings, mainly tunnels, pill boxes and the unfinished station for a 19 inch gun turret! the plaque mounted on the wall stated that the project was scrapped in 1942 because although the gun could accurately hit a target 27 miles away, the gun was useless at doing what was needed, protecting the bay area. the engineers realised half way through that it wouldn't be good at shooting down fighter planes and bombers. the other reason for coming up here was the view. do yourself a favor and click on the pics!
to the left spire of the golden gate bridge you will see an island; alcatraz, home of course to the prison. just to the right of the left spire is treasure island, another former military base. the skyscrapers in the background of treasure island is downtown oakland, if you look close you can see that treasure island is connected to the city of sf by a bridge, that's the bay bridge. obviously the big city in the middle of the pic is... san francisco! here's my buddy dave snapping some pics with his iphone. so we stood there taking in the view, giving one word reasons for why we love living in sf; weather, topography, nite life, architecture, diversity, excellent guy-girl ratio, culture. then a tour bus showed up and unloaded it's cargo of swedish bikini models, as you can see daves demeanor changed quite a bit, i believe when i snuck this pic of him he could be heard saying; "how YOU doin'?" well, all kinds of stuff has happened in the past week, MAJOR LIFE CHANGING EVENTS, ok the all caps is probably a little melodramatic but, seriously, shit has been going down!


work
I received a "lateral promotion" at work, I am now back at the marin location, aka the "widow maker". hopefully i'll still have a job in 30 days. check back often.


dating and just being my sexy self in general
i'm still doing the yahoo personals thing, but i've changed my approach, i also discovered a new dating site called plentyoffish which is really pretty cool and worth a look if you're single.

oh and while i'm on here, this is the wood block clock i was telling you about earlier
