About Me

Hi, I'm Alex, and I'm from San Diego. I like hanging out with my girlfriend and our guinea pig, throwing around a football on sunday, listening to loud music, sunsets, watching the Chargers, discussing politics, going to rodeos, eating krispy kremes, snowboarding, nerding out on the computer, hanging out with the Penns, visiting home.
And it's been awhile
Since I could hold my head up high
And it's been awhile
Since I first saw you
And it's been awhile
Since I could stand on my own two feet again
And it's been awhile
Since I could call you
And everything I can't remember
As ****** up as it all may seem
The consequences that I've rendered
I've stretched myself beyond my means
And it's been awhile
Since I can say that I wasn't addicted
And it's been awhile
Since I can say I love myself as well
And it's been awhile
Since I've gone and ****** things up just like I always do
And it's been awhile
But all that **** seems to disappear when I'm with you
And everything I can't remember
As ****** up as it all may seem
The consequences that I've rendered
I've gone and ****** things up again
Why must I feel this way?
Just make this go away
Just one more peaceful day!
And it's been awhile
Since I could look at myself straight
And it's been awhile
Since I said I'm sorry
And it's been awhile
Since I've seen the way the candles light your face
And it's been awhile
But I can still remember just the way you taste
And everything I can't remember
As ****** up as it all may seem to be I know it's me
I cannot blame this on my father
He did the best he could for me
And it's been awhile
Since I could hold my head up high
And it's been awhile
Since I said I'm sorry

Padres...sigh...

Offseason moves by the PADRES are just ridiculous this year. It all comes back to the backwards thinking of our ballclub. What the Padres need, more than anything, especially after we've paid an arm a...

Best in the West

Well it's been apparent that the Chargers are certainly the best team in California this season, and at this point, they're also the best team in the AFC West. I just want to say that I found it funny...
