Been (semi) patiently waiting for an opportunity to sneak back out of Vegas and clear my mind of all the mud this summer has kicked up at me. It has just been one saddening, maddening and unfortunate blow after another.

I’ve tried setting up hikes and people would bail out at the last moment. Then I set up a massive vacation to California including Six Flags, Ocean Beach and possibly Big Bear. Six people total were committed to going….until about 2 weeks in and everyone started dropping like flies until it was just me that was left. Then I postponed it a few weeks and snuck out to do a solo trip to just Six Flags starting today. Booked the room the other day and this morning I flew away like the ground was falling from behind me.

Well…..I made it half way to Valencia just to find out that Six Flags modified their schedule for October and are now closed Mon-Thurs. Temperature is in the 90’s still at the moment there….and they………….closed for my vacation. So much for taking advantage of the season pass and a not so expensive trip. So much for an escape from the downers. Now I am sitting in my hotel room wondering “what am I doing here in California with nothing to do?….I could have gone anywhere to do that”.

I think this summer really has it out for me and has no plans of holding back the punches ….

I am thoroughly unamused by this.

Like this is going to stop me from making something out of it. Things just got more expensive, that’s all. Less of a positive investment financially but still a mentally positive one. Universal, here I come. Hollywood, here I come. Visit the store they used as the “Buy More” in the series Chuck (where they filmed it)….here I come, Newport, LA, whatever…..here I come. *poof*
