Two weeks is too short

After finally returning from Europe and Russia, I was forced to jam an entire summer in San Francisco into a short two weeks. I can't believe that's all I got to be home for before having to pack up and leave again. This time to Canada and all over the US. My time home has been the best time I've ever had and I don't want to go. 

The day after coming home I was put straight to work. June 1st was moving day! Tara and I moved into a completely amazing new house with ten of our friends. Three floors, ten bed rooms, a living room, dinning room, awesome kitchen, two decks, and a back yard. Tara and I even get our own bathroom! This is probably the nicest house I will ever get to live in. 

For my birthday Tara and my room mates threw me a big BBQ on our new front deck. Nothing says summer like veggie burgers and grilled corn! One of the coolest things about our porch is that there is a huge white wall that we can use to project videos on. While all the festivities were going on also had Fraggle Rock playing for us and all the bypasses on the street to enjoy. It was an great night with good friends. One of the best birthday's I've had.

I got another tattoo, this time on my shin. Once again Nick Rodin did an amazing job. I'm really excited about it and I can't wait to get it colored. 

Late that night we had to drive down to LA to shoot a music video to go with our new record coming out this summer. Twelve hours of filming and non stop head banging. Honestly it was probably one of the more unpleasant experiences I've had. It was super hot and I felt completely dead the whole day. I'm not really sure if I'm into how the video will turn out but oh well. At least I got to be in one. 

This has been an exhausting two weeks, but it's been totally amazing. Moving, more bike rides than my body was ready to handle, tattoos, trip to the board walk, a ton of great food. I am definitely not excited to be leaving so soon and for so long. Since coming home I've been completely amped on the new house, getting to be with Tara, hang out with my new room mates, ride my bikes and enjoy the seldom sunshine in San Francisco. This has probably been the best two weeks I've had and I don't want it to end. I'm not ready to go but once again, duty calls. I'm going to miss this.
