Home is where your heart is

So this last weekend I returned home to Milpitas, Ca the true heart of silicon valley and the true home in my heart.

Thursday evening I left Northridge and drove about 5 and 1/2 hours to arrive at my house 300 miles away. I was met by my parents and dogs with open arms.

I didn't take any pictures this weekend because I carry a different mind set at home than I do here in LA.

But to paint a picture with words for you! Thursday I arrive at home late, unload my baggage in to my bedroom, and then watch "clash of the titans" with my mother and father. (was better than I thought... low expectations are good for enjoying movies.)

I awoke the next morning around noon time, and then went on to get a hair cut with my dad.... After that, I would celebrate my birthday (over a week early) With my friends. (Shout out to Chuck, Morgan, Angel, Gemma and Peonie) We went racing at Leman's, which is always a blast. We then returned to my house and played board games until about 230 in the AM.

Saturday I went on to shoot a promo video for my Uncle Carey in Atherton California. What a nice area! I felt like once I crossed the Atherton border I had teleported in to a world of worldwide prosperity and nice cars. The shoot lasted from 12:30pm until 7:30pm.... and then after that, I had a really nice dinner with my family at Margiano's to celebrate both my sister's and my birthday. I was really happy to see as much family as I did here... my parents really threw it together last minute, and I really appreciate it.

Sunday I got up and did some home work and then spent another evening driving 300 miles down the state. I returned to my apartment in Northridge around 11:20pm... and now it's about time for me to hit the hay, but first!

Lemme show you an update of my apartment

Side view
Bruce Lee posters...a gift to me, from Cynthia Jones.
Above my bed... Sharks 2009/2010, books (Martial arts+Film), The way of the warrior (The martial art encyclopedia) and Mark Wilson's Magic, given to me by Mark Wilson.
My desk... trash and all
My nice clothes, and my food....

This was just my room... the rest of my place hasn't changed much.

In conclusion of this post...What I miss most about being home is my family, my dogs, my friends and home cooked meals from my mom. I love my family and my friends and greatly appreciate all of their support. Looking forward to the next time I return home, but for now, my nose is going back to the books and to the grind.
