• Camping.

  One word to describe late October camping --- FUCKING COLD!!!

  Last week BB & I got our body fat percentage checked at George's
  house.. My body fat was @ 6.2% & BB's was low as well. We thought
  we were badasses but we were soon to be humbled by mother nature -- low
  temperature style.

  I almost froze to death while sleeping in the tent. Atleast 2 times I
  thought I was gonna lose the ability to breath and went into panic. BUT
  luckily, I survived thanks to Sto's 20degree sleeping bag, Hueh's tent & 5
  layers of upper and lower body clothing.

  Hueh slept w/ only a short sleeve shirt -- UNBELIEVABLY TOUGH.

  Despite
  the highly memorable cold.. I had a very pleasant, chill, good time the
  remainder of the trip with the fellas -- fresh water fishing, creating
  camp fires, outdoor cooking, taking pictures, late night card playing,
  etc...

  fresh water fished @ this lake
  

  There were many small black ducks on this lake. Tony taught me that
  only ducks and one other type of animal stay together for life after
  they mate. It was a very touching piece of information. I have much
  respect for ducks now. Does anyone know what the other type of animal is?
  
  
  
  I
  didn't fish at all. Instead, I read a book I borrowed at the Santa
  Monica Public Library called, Healthy Selfishness. I don't recommend
  this book for people like me who have already mastered the art of being
  selfish. It only takes you over the top -- creates instances of highly
  inconsiderate decision making. Sorry Tony, for eating all the Snickers
  and Twix first. Next time, I'll eat the M&Ms.

  I should have taken more pictures on my camera, but I took many shots on Tony's 5MP camera.

  I
  thought the best pictures I would create this weeked would be at Big
  Bear, but as it turns out,
  xB's parent's house had the best view I've
  ever seen.

  Their backyard oversees the ocean...
  

  Catalina Island (Sorry, I only got a piece of it -- on the left.)
  

  and Donald Trump's golf course...
  

  xB's father really knows how to pick the views!!!
  These pictures were taken before the Big Bear trip when switching from xB's car to his parent's minivan.

  While on the Pomona Freeway, on our arrival back into the Los Angeles
  area. I received a call from Calvin asking if I wanted to go
  bodyboarding at Long Beach's Dog Beach. Since I was going to be in the
  area , I decided to head on down there to take some pictures there as
  well. No way I was gonna body board after the camping trip. I was
  already exhausted.

  This is the same place I met Tank Abbot from UFC. lol...
  

  Dogs, dogs, more dogs and then some more dogs and one puppy...
  

  You can see the Hungtington Beach Pier from Dog Beach...
  
  
  

  Calvin & Jim riding into shore. These 2 really love bodyboarding.
  They do it 1-2 times a week. Trust me when I say this, the water is
  freaking COLD, there is no stopping them.

  Reminded me of Chi-tan.
  I felt like a voyeur taking this picture wearing my hooded grey sweatshirt and sunglasses.
  It was fun, maybe I should become paparazzi.
