I competed in the Long Beach Triathlon and got a few good pictures from it. This was my first in many years, and I have to say it felt so good to get back into the sport. I can't wait for my next one!

Tailgating before the SDSU home coming game with all of the boys.
..
Finally got a few pictures up from my birthday / going away party. That was an awesome night, one of the best parties we have ever put together, thanks to everyone who came, it was awesome to say goodbye to everyone like that.
.. .. .. ..
Here are some pics from Australia, and once again it was worth every penny of my money, traveling is just the best, and seeing my family again was awesome, especially since we are spread out over the entire globe.
Rock climbing way above the tree tops in the national park, great climbing out there.
My sis and I kickin it with some Wallaby's. (little Kangaroos)
At the Australian coast with my cousin Karen and my uncle Santiago.
..
This is my family checking out my aunt and uncle's new home while I was teaching my cousins Gabriella and Allesandra how to play rugby.
My cousin Fraser had just come accross Rusia on the tran-siberian railway, down through Mongolia, China and met us in Oz. On our last night he broke out some Russian Vodka. Judging from the picture, I bet you can't tell who had the most...
That was a great trip and i look forward to going back one day.
In the summer of '04, the boys and I went on an incredible journey, backpacking through Europe. It was the trip of a lifetime and I know that we will all cherish the memories we made that summer for the rest of our lives. Here are just a few of the pictures we took on our 4 month journey.
.. ..
Tony and I in front of the royal castle in Prague.
.. ..
Us being annoying Americans in Prague. That is seriously a gorgeous city, too bad it absolutely crawls with tourists.
.. ..
Partying in the streets of some European city or other. Such a great lifestyle while traveling. You explore new and beautiful countries in the daytime and party your ass off every night. SOOO much better than the daily grind!
.. ..
This was the kick-off party for the running of the bulls in Spain. The party was nuts, but running with the bulls was absolutely insane! One of the most intense and fun things I have ever done. I damn near got a horn in the rear every day I ran, but I would do it all again in a heartbeat.
.. ..
This picture was taken after the running of the bulls, we were just so stoked to be alive that we went out and partied like madmen untill the sun came up, then we literally walked out of the club and lined up to run again the next day. It was nuts.
.. ..
Tony and I climbed to the top of a cliff on the Greek Island, Corfu. That is one of the most incredible places I have ever been in my life. Such good memories!
.. ..
A Toga party in Greece. That was a fucking blast! By the end of the night there wasn't much toga left, but no one really cared.
.. ..
This is a shot from the acropolis in Greece, it was an amazing site but it was bloody hot up there! The ancient Greeks must have had ice for blood to survive.
.. ..
Chica and I hitching a ride in a boat in Serbia.
.. ..
Tony, Chica and I paddled a boat from the coast of a secluded beach in Montenegro to a deserted Fort that sat on a tiny island in the middle of a bay.
.. .. ..
These are some photos from inside the Fort, we had the entire place to ourselves, it was amazing.
.. ..
Mountain biking in the Swiss Alps.

Desire

I have always felt that people are defined by their desires. Your desires are what guide you through life, often unconsciously. A lot of people are not even really aware of what they most de...

Letting go.

It is never easy to let go of something that you love. But sometimes, because you love that thing, you do have to let it go. Real love is putting the wellbeing of another ahead of yourself. And so, no...

Life just refuses to slow down.

It seems like my life has just kept gaining momentum over the course of the last year and a half. When I came back from our last trek over seas, I was broke, homeless and jobless. I had spent all of t...
