Hey,<\/p>\n

This is an update post. I tend to do these every other one. Sometimes even more often than that. I think it is better than just continually skipping over things that have happened recently. It also helps to keep a mental note when I read back on my posts from time to time. Around this time “xyz” was happening. So yeah.<\/p>\n

Anyway- we went on the 30th of last month down to the OC. There were some dealerships in the area that were interesting in stealing my dad from his current place of employment and bring him to their shop. The places were nice, and close to the Ocean. Long term it simply doesn’t make much sense to switch over to the other guys -that is what he and my mom have decided. While we were in the area I was able to snag a few prescreening tickets in the OC. Therefore making more use of our time in the area. It was for Jurassic Park 3D.<\/p>\n

I must say, it looked great seeing it in the big screen. When the movie came out in 1993 I did not see it in theaters – so it was also kind of cool to be able to say that now I’ve done just that. In addition they digitally remastered the whole film and it looks great in 3D. Granted the movie hasn’t changed at all- nothing like that… but it was still nice to see. It came out this month and is currently in theaters.<\/p>\n

Afterwards we decided to take a trip to the ocean. We rode down route 133 – a straight shot to the ocean from our location. We stopped at Laguna beach before driving down to Dana Point. All in all it was a nice 40 mile drive across a strip of \u00a0the SoCal costline. Stopping in Long Beach \u00a0we walked along the sandy shore out under a pier and took in the views. \u00a0Along the way my mom and I were wading in the water up to our knees. I must tell you, walk 2 & 1\/2 miles in water up to your knees with the waves coming ashore and you will get quite the workout. My legs were feeling it that night into the next day! That’s for sure. \u00a0After stopping for dinner in San Pedro we made our way back.<\/p>\n

That nearly brings us current, because all was quiet until yesterday. Early in the morning at 3am we were up and getting ready to go to to the Airport. I didn’t get much sleep the night before- if any… so needless to say I was a little groggy.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_1621\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The LAX entrance with new lighted tubes all around the place, it looks good. \u00a0The airport has been renovated while adding new terminals. \u00a0We dropped off Maryia and she was on her way. \u00a0She is flying to the PNW to visit her family and wont be back til the 20th.<\/p>\n

Umm, other than that? I was excited that Game of Thrones was back on TV. I also have come to the conclusion that my brother at this point in his life doesn’t feel his family (and the very least me) is much of importance or a priority to him. He tends to let me know by not replying or not answering me when I text\/call. I feel like I can do nothing other than give him what he wants. A distant relationship at best.<\/p>\n

On the job front, I keep applying to many places and don’t tend to hear much of anything from anyone. Wait, you said the unemployment level went down??? No comment. \u00a0I have to keep going at it – \u00a0eventually something will<\/del>\u00a0must turn up.<\/p>\n
