winter.... the most wonderful time of the year, or so they say. with all the lights and trees and decorations and carols and presents and what-not. and of course.... the yearly picture with the one and only santa clause. actually, he's not the one and only. there are a bunch of santa's in different malls and what-not. and none of which is the real santa. but, they all work for the real santa. cuz not every kid knows how to write a letter and send it to the north pole. and the real santa's too busy making preparations for christmas eve. yup, but this year's santa pic turned out pretty well. we upgraded from the red clothing to matching sweaters. but i still have the tags on mine and i kept the receipt... just in case.

went to the lakers' pre-season (or "pre-show" according to krys haha) game 2. thanks for the free ticket babe. but yeah... we got lost for about half an hour on the way there. got on and off the freeway about 3 times. by the time we got there, we totally missed the shoot-out (or "shoot-off" according to krys" haha). so anywho... we had awesome seats. like close enough to smell the blood, sweat, and tears and what-not. but not close enough to be on tv. ah well... still awesome. i love the lakers, always have and always will. and i love krystel, and not just cuz she gave me the free ticket. so yeah.... blah blah blah... lakers won.

the one and only.... kobe bryant

lakers before the game

after the game with our $5 hats from the guy on the street

another year.... another birthday... another gray hair... another wrinkle on my face... yup, getting old. 19 years to be exact. my final teenage year. damn, i'm old. i wish i was as young on the outside as i am on the inside... which is like 7 1/2. so yeah... had a family dinner on the 12th (my birthday) and a lil party yesterday. fun stuff....

well here's something else. it can also be used as.... a hat.

there's a weird face popping out of nowhere.

someone's cell phone is poking me.

hungry much?

pretty in pink.

go joey, is ya birfday.

soo... who wants some cake?

once again, i've seriously lagged when it came to updating this thing. but no one really cares anyways. but yeah, just cuz i'm bored and i had fun tonight and i can't exactly sleep right now.... i figured, what the hell. anywho... went to this carnival. and it was fun and what-not. and blah blah blah, nobody reads this. so i'll just skip to the pics....

looks like we're having fun

"babe, i'm cold"
"don't worry, i'll keep you warm (wink wink)"
"ooo baby"
"what? i mean, i'll give you my jacket"

what couple goes to a carnival and not ride the ferris wheel

this would be so much easier if that guy would just stop staring at my ass

grr.... i made it all the way there, but the lady didn't see me. seriously...
