Out of State visits - Friends, Fishing, and Sunsets in San Diego

I met my buddy Kurt years ago through my music performance endeavors.  Kurt runs Scene Wars Collective and organizes the Anti-Competition showcase cross-country.  When I met him he had reached out to me about my band Blackwater Prophecy and ended up booking it and the other band I was a part of at the time which sadly no longer exists.

He lives in Missouri so it was difficult for him to make it out the first time he booked me, but eventually he was able to make it to California when he booked me along with my then band mate for a small show. We got to meet and hang out in San Diego that night which of course solidified the connection as now I had a face to put to the name.

Since then I have even gotten the opportunity to work with Kurt helping him book bands too, but ultimately my schedule didn't allow for his late night calls to discuss bookings... I may be a night owl, but I am not about working remotely at night.  In any case I've known him for several years now and he finally made a trip out to visit without the excuse of booking convenience.

Of course he likes to fish and so he insisted on going shore fishing.  I wasn't sure how that would go but we squeezed it in there.

Also Alice had just moved back in and she has become friends with Kurt too so it was a great opportunity for the three of us to hang out!  We showed Kurt around, took him to Yummy Sushi in Coronado, which he loved, we also dragged him to a thrift shop where we found some treasures... especially for me and my doll collection!  Finally after Alice and I stalled long enough we were able to take him shore fishing.  Of course we complained most the time about how cold it was even though it was in the 60's which he was laughing at us for considering the climate he comes from.

We made a stop at Dog Beach which did not pan out, then Belmont Park in Mission Beach which was also a fail for shore fishing, and finally made our way up into La Jolla.  We found a nice spot but Kurt was unfamiliar with how to shore fish and maneuver through the rocks.  He didn't use all his bait which stank up my car later, and he did lose a weight after the line got caught on the jagged rocks and snapped.  But it was fun.  Only he went fishing since he was the only one who paid for a fishing license and we didn't want to risk it.

It was quite soothing to be by the shore as the sun set.  I of course thought about and talked about the Flat Earth, which I have been doing a lot these days.  How fascinating to think of the world in terms of it being flat! LOL




Alas the vacation was over and Kurt had to return home.  Lately he's had a lot of work as a writer which I am proud of him for.  it seems fitting.  Alice and I did rag on him a bit and ultimately decided he looked like an English Professor... you know because English Professors all look the same! LOL

BFC Ink Doll Collection Complete!!

Well, if it isn't obvious, I got into doll collection, but I suppose I always was a doll collector, just not really by choice as my mom would buy me a porcelain doll every year for my birthday until I moved away for college, but even then I still got porcelain dolls as gifts from her and other members of my family. Over the years of course I have collected dolls from the 80's like the Kimberly doll by Tommy, and of course Barbie...  then I got into repainting Bratz dolls the past couple of years and added Monster High to the list of dolls to look for at flea markets etc... But one day, by chance I came across the now out of production MGA Entertainment 18" BFC Ink (Best Friends Club Ink) dolls.  These dolls are way cuter, in my opinion, than American Girl Dolls (which I really do not like at all actually) or Journey Girls etc...  They have a hard body all the way and were made in two types.  The first productions were just all vinyl bodies, much like the Wellie W...

Am I a feminist?

Lets clear this up... I am not so much a feminist as I am an equalist. Women.Women sit here and complain about men and how they are treated by men when the reality is those women allow it to happen, and I am not saying this as some people would say rape is the victims fault... NO! I am saying, if he is not treating you as a person, cut him off! BUT... Same goes for men.  Men complain about women too. OK, if you feel she is taking advantage of you then cut her off. If you cannot stand her, then break up with her. Stop wasting her time and hiding behind wanting to be the good guy cause really you are being more of a jerk that way... and again.. same for women. Women who date the nice guy... I don't really like him, no chemistry, but he's sooo nice, I can't hurt him. To those chicks... you're a jerk! And you'll ruin him for the next girl who can appreciate him more. So my point. Objectification goes both ways. Exploitation is a two way street. Everyone can...
