90210 Started It All

So I've known my friend Symonne for about 4 years now, we have texted, talked on the phone, Video chat, Twitter, Facebook, and MySpace'd. We have done it all, but within those 4 years we hadn't hung out in person. All that changed this past weekend, I finally got the chance to visit her.

The drive to Symonne's place was about and hour and 20 minutes, she resides in Camp Pendleton where her husband is stationed at. Driving through the base was amazing, I wish I would have better quality pictures to share with all you guys. We had fun getting lost on base, but the Symonne came to the rescue and helped us. Meeting her in person for the first time was exciting, it wasn't awkward at all. I gave her a hug and she hugged me back, she then asked what I was holding in my hand and I told her "90210, we must watch the pilot episode." That's how are friendship began, we met online four years ago talking and raving about the 90210 remake.

We watched the pilot episode while chatting and eating junk food, soon it turned into 6 hours of us hanging out with each other. I truly love Symonne and her friendship means the world to me. She kids about "marrying me and Ray." I tell her lets do it (: I know this visit is only the start of so many more visits to come.

Ray's Birthday Celebration

July 18th, 2011.

Here's a few pictures of Ray's Birthday party, the boyfriend was finally turning 21. It was a night of fun, laughter, beers, and good time with friends. We decided to take pictures when basically everyone was gone and it was coming to an end.

PS. We love Ruby so she gets a special picture with Ray && I.

Happy Birthday Brooke.

What can I say...
first I have to wish you a Happy Birthday, welcome to the much older club. We have been friends since 2007, that's a really long time for me to keep a friend. With that being said you really are an amazing person. You've actually been there for me through my every journey. Every single time I had to face something new, a challenge, achievement, relationship, hardship, anything you've been my go to person. It's weird how you've been friends for such a long time, but we have never hung out in person. I guess that's what happens when I decided to become best friends with and "east side" person. I know our friendship will never end that's because we need each other. I still remember Anna and Derrick, we have had so many changes since then. They have all be great and they are amazing memories. Once again I want to wish you the most amazing Happy Birthday ever. You I know I love you and will always be here for you.

your friend,
Danny.

Happy Birthday Danny.

Over the years I've made some friends, but there's one guy that's been a pretty special friend; Mr. Danny (dannysohood.) I still remember how we became friends, I was on the search for a new best friend and happen to do "Roger-Danny Present: The Seach for the Next Gay Bestfriend." We quickly clicked and began talking about this and that and found out that we both had a passion for journalism.

I honestly didn't think I could find such a honest and genuine person in this crazy world, but I did. You've helped me get through some difficult stages in my life and for that I will forever be grateful. Then there's those times I've given you advise and helped you out as well. I know there's days we might go without talking, but we forever be "bestfriends." Our friendship is strong and I see ourselves being friend as very "old men" lol. I'm wishing you a very Happy Birthday, I hope you enjoy your day with friends and family.



Your friend,
Danny.

A little joy to my life...

This is my puppy, his name is Rocky-Duke.
I know he looks a bit odd right now, that's
because he was born a few nights ago; I'm
beyond excited to see him grow.

He has 8 other brothers and sisters so for
now I'm letting him enjoy his time with
them as well as his mom, but in less
than a month he will be living with
me. Rocky-Duke and I will be having
lots of fun as we discover the
world together (:
