My Farewell To San Francisco =(
As most of you know, I will be moving back to the 408... This is the true definition of a love/hate relationship. I do not want to move back home because I'm going to be tied down from everyone there. But there are pro's/con's to moving out of the City and moving back home. Here is a list:
Pro's moving home and moving out of SF:
NOT PAYING FOR RENT AND UTILITIES!!
Good food always waiting on the table.
Old friends back home (the crew).
A CAR (didn't have one in SF).
Nice weather, finally.
Con's of moving home and moving out of SF
FREEDOM
Hanging out with my roomies and getting into trouble.
Going out whenever I want and where I want.
Eating the wonderful food of SF (Lucky Penny's Clam Chowder on Friday's).
All the homies from USF and their homies.
Living by the beach (even though it's only Ocean Beach).
Oh San Francisco, how you have been a great home to me for the past 5 years. Thank you for all the first experiences; some good and some bad. Oh how I will miss the nightlife, because there is no other like you. Thank you for all the people I have come across and the times we have had together. All I can say is, thank you and until we meet again.

Haight Street Fair: San Francisco, CA
The smell of BBQ and lemonade in the air; the music playing and people partying from their apartment windows; and the 75 (with no wind) degree weather in San Francisco was what was going down in the City this past Sunday.
Yesterday was the true start of Summer, and what a way to kick it off with the Haight Street Fair. I mean, it was just the kind of weather you have when you're in San Jose: nice. Probably the best thing they had at the fair was just a group of people playing on drums and bongos. The rhythm and beats these people were making were unplanned, but meshed so well. All it took was one person on the drums and one on the bongos. Sooner or later there were 2 drummers, 2 bongo players and a woman hitting cow bells. People were stuck in a trance and really appreciated their music. People from all parts of the city were enjoying this music, even dancing in the street. I don't even think these people new each other, but oh how wonderful music brings people together.
But the food was was "on-point," especially the free food! I tasted chocolate mint WATER!?!? And i didn't hate it. It was a little awkward at first, but it was pretty good. It was so good they ran out 2 hours before the fair ended. The next free drink I had was something similar to an Arizona Ice Tea. I do not remember the name of it, but it was very tasty. I would actually buy this, but only if I could remember its name. And third of course, Otter-Pops. On a hot day, Otter-Pops had "win" all over it.
Oh Haight Street, how i will miss you when I move back to San Jose. I was terrified of you as a Freshman in college, but now I am leaving you with a place in my heart <3... From the awesome boutiques such as True and Stussy; to the great food and Milk Bar (Allen's 21st birthday) ; to where I bought my first ever "camo" jacket, I will try not to be a stranger.
