as it turns out, i'm going to be taking some safety classes in denver at red rocks community college at the end of the month. how do i feel about this? excited and elated. why, would i, you may ask (especially after leaving denver just about 2-3 months ago)? well, let me count the ways:
1) cold weather - it will be the end of october when i head to CO, meaning it will most likely NOT be 90 degrees fahrenheit every day like it has been in HI (although it's CO, i can never accurately predict the weather). i can't layer in HI, i can't even wear a hoodie. god bless the weather that gave birth to the scarf and the peacoat.
2) familiarity - unlike my safety classes in las vegas, i will be heading to a place that's fairly known to me. i lived near and worked in golden for 5 and 1 years, respectively. i won't be afraid to travel 100 yards away from my hotel room (like in vegas) because i already know what's in store.
3) comrades - my good cousin boto maki and financial partner puraw wave are in denver. the last time i saw the both of them, we had a fancy suit dinner. although i can't guarantee the suit, we should definitely have dinner and good times.
4) freedom - this time, i will be renting a vehicle, so i will have a means of ferrying my happy ass to and from wherever i please. also, going back to point 2, i know more about denver and it's general surroundings than i did the strip in vegas. meaning i will definitely be having more than panda express and subway for lunch/dinner and it won't be in a casino.
5) food - one word: chipotle
my upcoming magical mystery tour in denver aside, what has been occupying my mind the past few days? finances, fashion, and violins (i couldn't get a complete alliteration). the current "panic" in the US is widespread and blah, blah, blah. knowing that everyone is just as worried about their money if not more than me doesn't help me figure out how to weather the storm. saving vs. spending makes the choice easy when interest rate cuts make saving money a losing proposition.
a friend and i are heading to ala moana tomorrow to peruse stores like metropark and club monaco in search of sexy clothing. a fucking nice-ass paisley shirt (not as gay as it sounds and fits ungodly perfectly) is going for $89 at club monaco. some graphic tees (2 to be exact) i purchased for my brother's birthday cost me $90 at metropark. there is a tokidoki shirt i wanted at the store by the food court, but it costs around $30. if i do indeed decide to spend money tomorrow, it will cost me dearly.
i want to learn a classical instrument, preferably violin. however, it would most likely be impossible at this age, with my income, and with my schedule. but i would still be willing to try. at least i can play part of country roads on my ukulele.

The weather's probably gonna be chilly. It's on the verge of snowing here today and I've got my window wide open since my apartment has been hot as hell for the last several months. Wouldn't it be your luck, though, that when you come back we'll be back in the high 80s again like earlier this week.
According to Curious, the weather in a club is perfect for a scarf. That or he's just that cool.
speaking of dinner, you still need to hit that mongolian place i told you about. i took jon there a few weeks ago. amazing~
