Oh hai long time no talk

I am getting so excited for summer's end. I am lucky enough that I get to end summer time with a bang, going out with a large group of beautiful women for the big shootfest Yesenia organized for down in Florida! So many amazing ladies are coming, so keep your eyes peeled for LOTS of scandalous pictures and sets to come I am really excited to see Mnislahi and Drave again, it's been entirely too long! Also getting to meet soo many great girls, Yesenia, Myrte, Bitten, Toxic, Elea, Annathesia, Casshas, Gunner, Renesme, LucySky, Tovi, and that is just to name a few of the amazing list of women I get to spend a week lounging on the beach with Oh yes. Get excited!!!

I can't even begin to think of all that has happened over the last few months. It seems so overwhelming trying to digest this summer into a blog. There will be photos, oh, there WILL be photos.

I've been busy filling my bare skin...

covered up those ghastly stars!


started this on my thigh! hopefully will have it done within the month


got bro tats with my lady friend

I've also been making lots of food porn. I really could live in my kitchen...

homemade marinara to go with these guys:


stuffed peppers with lamb and goat cheese


braised chicken with a mire poix wine sauce topped with a rosemary-herb gremolata


roasted tomato caprese salad, sooo good


chipotle black bean burgers


Lasagna made with a smoked cheese bechamel sauce and a mushroom filling


fish tacos


chorizo tacos


taqueria style chicken tacos

....i like tacos....


Latkas with smoked salmon and a sriracha lime sauce


and pepper poppers!

I really get down with the grub, no lies


I also had a fabulous cross country journey in June! We went from Seattle to Santa Cruz (which no doubtedly was just for the night so I could see my old house and eat at my favorite taquera, three times in a row), from Santa Cruz to LA, LA to Vegas, and Vegas pretty much straight home. Ate lots of amazing food, saw a lot of old friends, drank entirely too much, and spent the 4th of July on a rooftop in Las Vegas watching 360degree view of at least 15 firework shows happening for hours. It was amazing. And I took lots of pictures! Go figure

I'll start with Seattle...we went to the EMP to see the Nirvana exhibit. If you haven't seen it, I highly suggest making the visit...it is going to be around for another year. It was amazing...









also got to see from Freddie and Eddie hand action!



...and Darth's Light Saber *holyfuckholyfuckholyfuck*




....Speaking of Darth Vader....how cool is this shirt?!


I want it....

anways. More pictures from Seattle:

Didn't do much in Santa Cruz except eat. Right as we got into town it was almost closing time at my favorite taqueria...but we made it JUST in time! I got 4 quesadillas, ate them so fast I couldnt even take a picture



sooo good. i die.

We got to our crappy little motel around 9. Noticed they had these signs posted all over the outside of the building and inside every room, i wonder how many issues they have had with indoor BBQs...



Then we hit the boardwalk, I had random flashbacks to being too high to ride a rollercoaster. Then we went to sleep early, slept in a bit the next day, and hit up my favorite breakfast joint, Cafe Brasil! So many food memories. I got my usual breakfast platter, my acai bowl, and lots of delicious coffee.




Then we drove to see my old house


And then I returned no less than 2 hours after breakfast for more quesadillas at Tacos Morenos before hitting the road to LA.

LA was a blast, we mostly hung out with some friends of ours out there. Ate at Pinks three times. So good every time. I wish they had a hot dog place like that here in Frederick....probably better for my heart that they dont though


gotta love LA billboards.


threw a sticker up for my buddies shop




PINKS!!!!


Venice Beach.


Then off to Vegas. My second home. It was so good seeing the whole fam. i LOVE the booze prices in Vegas! We went to Albertsons and got 2 bottles each of Tanqueray, Jose Silver AND Gold, Bacardi Wolfberry, Bacardi regular, plus 2 four packs of red bull, tonic, limes, 12 pack of coke, and two packs of camels for less than $60. I will be moving to Vegas as soon as possible, please and thank you.

Madness, I tell you. I do love Las Vegas. It is always such a good time. My only regret was not making it out to see Stone_Art! Next time budday!!

Most of my vegas pictures are silly and drunken...I will only share my favorites because there were just entirely too many

I got my fix of In N Out. How I missed those animal fries.....

I need to get back to Vegas ASAP. I miss everyone so much there, and I love the weather. Le Sigh.

Well that was my trip! Other than that I have just been working and getting ready for the upcoming semester, having lots of fun. I will leave you with one more photo dump
