Hello! So I totally lagged about blogging about my birthday weekend but here it goes...
So I turned twenty one this past weekend on the eighteenth of this month. I never thought I would make it. Honestly, I just felt thankful to have lived to see this age. Another chapter to one's life. Legal to do pretty much anything... Finally. So for this birthday I left all planning up Gina. I trust her. I didn't want to know, or pretty much have any responsibility for the festivities. Long story short, it was one of the most perfect birthday celebrations i've ever had. I mean really, the most perfect birthday. Period. To see more photos of the night, check out
Gina's blog
These were probably the dopest balloons i've ever seen.
Gina surprised me with Red Velvet Cupcakes with M&M's. Yummy! And told me she got me a new Mercier fixed gear bicycle! There's a pic of it behind the "Curious George" toy. How sweet is that!? I'm the luckiest guy in the world. I had been hesitant for the longest time to buy a new bike and I guess she knew it was something I had my heart set on so she went ahead and got it for me. Sadly it wasn't actually there quite yet, it was on it's way. So I had to wait two more days before it got here. It was gonna be worth the wait....................................................................................................................................................................................
It's finally here! Gina woke me up after hearing the doorbell ring saying "it's here, wake up!?" I jumped up and flew to the door. Barely even awake just seeing the box it was in I was juiced to ride already. Haha. I called Pat later in the day seeing that we could meet up to fix my bike. We ended up meeting at 9pm at this spot he called "The Garage." I had been there before but
not to ride. Rolling up I see Jolo, Pat, Angelo, Marty and Phil riding on their fixies and Hannah chillin' in the Focus. Gina and I get out the car and do our rounds of hand shakes and hugs with the folks and then brought the new ride out to get to work. Up until that night I built my bike Pat always talked about how chill this spot was. A kick-it spot for the homies who had bikes to drink, ride, and fix up their bikes. Crackin'.
Andre and Deang showed up after I got there. Everyone was joking about how Deang made up the new crew name "Sting Rays" from being drunk one night. It came from saying "bruh bruh" then it became yo "ray ray", then finally sting rays. Phil said he was gonna go as far as to put an aquarium in his back wheel with a sing ray inside. What a guy.. Jolo hooked me up with Pista handle bars and Pat gave me new pedals and toe straps. Sweet. We all pretty much built it together. It was tight. Here's some pics of the process.

And there she is... Ain't she a beaut? lol. It rides like a dream. I swear I feel like a kid again when I'm riding. We decided to go grab some Tecate's to sip on. So we took my first ride to the 7 eleven to grab em. It was fuckin' tight. Smashin' through the streets with so much ease. G and Hannah followed just to make sure we were cool. We got back to The Garage and kicked it there until like 3am riding bikes. Practicing skiding, wheelies, all kinds of shit. All in all it was a great day/night. Thank you babe for the bike, I love it. And I recommend everybody that doesn't have one but is some what curious in riding get a bike because I love mine. 
Phil's
