This past weekend was a wild one, on friday night Joe, Ashley and myself attempted to get into a nightclub in the Gas Lamp on 4th street, but we showed up too late and missed the guestlist. Being the cheap skates that we are, there was no way we were going to pay for a $20 cover. We ended up in Tikki Lounge getting drinks called "Horny Monkey's", and I have to say either bartenders are making drinks stronger out here or I am turning into a pussy. If you pick the latter you might be correct :(
On Saturday I went to a pretty amazing beach, in a semi-hidden location near Torrey Pines. I had to climb down the sandstone cliffs to reach the beach, when I looked down at how far it was I estimated it had to be about 700 or 800 feet to the bootm. It was the first time in my life that I have ever gone cliff scaling if thats even a real thing. What made the beach so unique was the black sand that it had cover about 60 percent of it, as well as the fact that there were very few people on it, because of the seclusion. I wish I had taken some pictures, but I hope I'll go back again soon. Then on Saturday night, we went to a club in downtown SD and made it in time for the guestlist this time. It was a pretty different experience than what I had gotten used to in Ireland. The music was all hip-hop with a west coast bias for sure, but no matter what coast you are on right now I think Lil Wayne is the dominant hip-hop artist, unfortunately.
Sunday was the European Cup 2008 final between Germany and Spain. I was hoping that Germany would win, but with no real allegiance to any of the teams playing I was still quite pleased with the outcome. Spain won 1-0 on a goal from Fernando Torres or El Nino as he is called by the British Press. I love that all of my favorite players are now making waves with there national teams as well as there club teams.  ¶ 1:10 AM
