I’m here at my parents’ house, watching The First 48 (I have morbid taste in shows sometimes) on A&E and felt like blogging a little bit.

I recently turned 25 (woohoo!) and had probably the best time I’ve had with all my friends in a long time.  Dancing, drinking, and photographing (eek!) the night away.  It was such a great feeling and added even more happiness to my birthday celebration.

Turning a year older is always an important milestone no matter what age.  Each birthday marks another year God has given me on this earth to experience life and spend time with those that I love.  Being my 25th year, it also marks my unofficial entrance into adulthood (*dun dun dun*.)

I’ve been busy this weekend enjoying the San Diego weather and the scenery. To add to that enjoyment, I have never been happier about my bike-related purchases.

I haven’t been able to hit up the gym lately and I’ve been meaning to interject some exercise into my daily routine. I also thought about being able to save money from getting gas and not being so dependent on driving.

Why drive to work when it’s only four blocks away?

But this weekend, Janelle, Justin, Sis, Dad and I biked from Mission Bay to, Pacific Beach, Belmont Park, around Sea World and back, all in one night! I wish I was able to plot my trail so I could see how many miles we’ve covered. The very next day, we biked most of the 56 trail, from Black Mountain to Carmel Valley and back. The downhill was definitely a lot of fun but the uphill proved to be rigorous. I almost gave up one time but felt accomplished I completed the trail without getting off the bike. And today, just eased up on biking Nobel, near my parents.

I’d have to say that night bike riding is a lot more fun and it’s not as hot. I’m excited to discover more bike trails in San Diego!

I don’t know I became a transplanted Watchmen fanatic. I read an article on Gizmodo about how you can watch the Watchmen trailer the day before The Dark Knight’s opening in the theaters. I don’t know exactly what the pull was but I was hooked after watching the trailer!

My Wordpress tshirt finally came in the mail! I was suprised to receive the shipment so quickly. I ordered it on Tuesday/Wednesday and I got it Friday afternoon.

My friends kidded with me that I’m a nerd for buying this tee. What can I say? Wordpress is awesome like that.

I watched this video and I agree with the person testifying. Why in our infinite wisdom is it ok to attempt to impeach President Clinton for what he did, and its forbidden to even mention the possibiity of impeaching our current President for what he has done? Watch the video after the break.

It isn’t often I write a blog, and even less often I talk about movies. I have always loved watching movies about superheroes, and Batman has been one of the favorites.

Christopher Nolan did a great job with Batman Begins showing us how the Dark Knight got his start. What separates these two films from the all the previous Batman installments is the focus on storytelling. I would classify this as an action packed drama in the form of a comic. The films, semi-non-linear chronology kind of resembles the feeling of a comic book. When you look at a comic, you are most likely seeing two or three different frames at the same time–seeing different parts of the story unfold. The way the movie was cut was similar, scenes were often overlapped with each other adding to the suspense and making the 2 hour plus movie breeze by.

Unfortunately, I won’t be going to the Comic Con this year due to my busy schedule. But it’s not going to stop me to talk about it! I’m filled with Comic Con envy, I’m almost willing to do anything to get a four-day pass. Check out what my schedule would’ve been after the break.
