tonight was the last night working at the boogie until september. damn its like a whole month away from home, friends, drama, and girls. its hard to imagine becuase the longest time ive ever been away from home is 3 weeks. ive got the itinerary today and i will be spending a lot of time in the air. we are flying all over the damn country of europe in a very unefficient way. everytime we have to go to another country we have to stop at london. so is like london to amsterdam then back to london and then to prague, and then back to london and to venice etc.  london is like the main hub that flys to these other countries. we will also be travelling long hours in high speed trains back and forth to london. 
 
kazaa has been treating me bad lately. the good songs i want to download are all messed up by the music industry.what i really wanted were the 2 new singles by avril lavigne. i gave up trying to download the songs so i just burned a copy of my friends CD.  if you really want to hear some good music, get her latest CD. its more mellow and acoustic compared to her last album which was a multi platinum CD.
 
since we are heading down to vegas and my diet is over, im ready to stuff! since i am a fine restaurant connoisseur, i made reservations for the steakhouse with one of the highest ratings. i got reservations on saturday night for PRIME at the bellagio hotel. prime is rated a 9.6 (charlie palmers and lawry's got 9.8) . ive already tried lawry's and im not into prime rib steaks really so i decided on prime. ruth's chris got a 9.0 and im wondering if ruth's got a 9.0, then the steaks of prime must be godly.  they have this 12oz filet mignon for $60 which im gonna have to try out and wait, 12oz is nothing and then comes desert. a piece of cake is $10.  i can tell it was a good place because i checked online and reservations were all booked up. i called them and i begged for a table on saturday night. she was nice enough to squeeze in a table for 4. after she explained how there was a dress code of formal/business attire to get into the restaurant.  no problem. bring on the steak! i better be shitting out gold bricks after this dinner.

oh yea, theres a french restaurant in the paris hotel that serves a 50 oz porter house steak!!!!! its the closest thing we can get besides the 72 ouncer in amarillo texas. so this will be training for us. if we have time and could get reservations, i will be declaring a challenge with my tummy. other stops include the one and only "the buffet" at the bellagio and the everlasting crepes at the paris buffet, the grand lux cafe, mandalay bay buffet, and the spice market of aladdin.

amber wanted to go riding tonight but @!##@!$# disneyland had to call her in to work. there is no chance in hell i can take her out on any other day because she works from 6am to 8pm 6 days a week (7 if you include sunday shifts). its gonna be more than a month until i ride the RC51 again. so tonight, i decided to take it out for a long relaxing ride to the coast. the irvine, newport, laguna area are among the best riding areas. its like a video game you used to play before you ever had your drivers license. PCH is lined up with stores and people and you have full view of the coast. what made it better is that the RC51 just got a set of new tires, an oil change, and some steering work done to it. it rides like new compared to when it had a nail in the rear tire on a set of flat, treadless tires. the throttle is smooth and not jumpy anymore and i can actually take turns without feeling nervous. more mods to come, bigger throttle body, relocation of the radiator, '02 frame, and an air box mod.

it just happens so, that 2 other friends are going to meet up the same week in amsterdam, the city of legalized sex, drugs, and alcohol. where the beer flows like wine and women instinctively flock like the salmon of capistrano. but the jackpot is ibiza, spain. its an island off the coast of eastern spain where clubs dont open until its 2am and it is home of the foam parties. besides ibiza, im dying to go to paris for the food, england to meet some authentic neo nazis, rome for the art, venice for the clubs, and prague for the model-like women. so far, i owe akash $3000 just for room and board. which means another $5000 for the 5 weeks of spending money.
