Friends
Relationships in my life have always been so important. And the more I go through life and experience things the more I know how much those close to me mean. Below are some pictures and thoughts I've put together recently. If you're not up here, it definitely doesn't mean you're not important in my life or anything to that effect. This is just a little piece I've put together, just smile if you're looking at those here. =)

Craiger
I've known craiger for quite a while. from the days of youth soccer, hand ball in jr high, hanging out at the yee house, MJ nights, and so much more. Craig's definitely a portagee at heart and loves his linguisa!! Craiger has such a deep side and is always searching for more. You may not know this about craiger, but he has his poetical side and if you give him a book to read be ready to talk about it becasue chances are he'll have read it by the time you remembered you gave it to him. One of the things that has always impressed me about craig is his sincerity, I don't believe you will find a more sincere and caring person. One great memory with craig is our trip up to seattle: passing through crater lake, bend, trout lake, mt st helens, crazy driving in the back roads, seattle and the cruise home. Also, the whole Asian Craig thing in SD with greek and the boys!

Pauly
Paul, P-Mully, Paulina, another Turlockian and former roomie. Paul and I lived together in davis for 2 yrs before he chased his now wife down to SD. Paul transfered up to ucd in the fall of 2001 and I've definitely seen a lot of change in him over the years. If he has any low marks in his years of college at davis he can blame them on me for sure. I had already finished my college degree when he moved in and my job was substitute teaching in davis. When i didn't feel like working i would stay at home or find something fun to do. And of course if I needed somebody to do something with i would grab paul and make him do it with me. he had numerous days i would try to make him play hookie from school or school work. 'what's an hour, you can make up an hour easy/it'll be a quick game of star craft/we'll just go throw the disc real quick/you wanna go for a run/come on, it's too early for bed/you name it...
I also remember playing soccer with paul in elementry school, peeing in ditches, whatever you do in turlock...
Paul is seriously passionate about his beliefs, politics and god. He is also a die-hard romantic. Paul definitely has a thirst for knowing what it is he believes and wants to share what he learns with those around him. Paul is also another very competitive character and will play basketball till his feet need a new layer of skin.
Some good memories of Pauly are:
- the 2 yrs living together
- our trip up to seattle
- our trip over to DC: 4 days of non-stop information, visual and political overload!!
- his marriage to Ann

Patrice
Patrice, Pat-rice, resse
There's a lot to say about Patrice and all that she means to me. Some of my first memories of her are:
- seeing her at the hotel in Santa Barabara during an ultimate tournament with me half way naked in my pjs (what's new?)
- getting a ride to ultimate practice from her as she spotted me riding my bike in the rain.
- salsa dancing at the grad with our inovative and ultimate dance moves.
Patrice has a serious compassion for those around her and has one of the biggest hearts I know. Anytime I think of her, she has a smile on her face and is ready to do anything with a good attitude. Patrice has definitely challenged me with emotions and understanding. What I mean by that is that she made me realize that I do have an emotional side and that I'm not as understanding as I could be towards other people in general. Sometimes I have no idea how she thinks or what her thought processes are, but the more I've gotten to know her the more I'm able to understand her and appricieate her perspective. She has the most positive outlook on things and constantly challenges me. I could get a call from her at 2 in the morning and we'd still talk for hours. Love ya girl!

Trev-Dawg
I met trev my first year at UCD, back in '97, on the racquetball courts. From the very first day i met him i knew we were going to be friends. trev was so upbeat and ready to play some rball. He soundly beat me right and left handed but was pretty nice about it. of course once i got a little better the trash talk never stopped. a quick pinch shot, a little foot shuffle and a taunting later: 'uh-oh, somebody's closer...heheheh' and the game was on. that year in rball was tons of fun. Fatty, the Predator, dawg, nationals in arizona, coco, ah coco. whether it's softball, basketball, ultimate, soccer, floor hockey, rball, vball, tennis, squash, wiffle ball, innertube h2O polo, football, trampoline, bowling, lifting, horseshoeing, croqueting, bocheing, skiing, snowboarding, hanging out on the beach, shuffleboarding, pool, ping pong, starcraft, halo, heroes (go ahead and take my turn...), poker, settlers, mo-nop-oly!, trev is always a good time. if you're not competitive you best get to getting food ready cause you'll be out of any game in the blink of an eye with this guy!! trev is also one of the sharpest (mentally and whitwise) guys i know, and he'll let you know it too. =) lots of good physics and philosophy topics of conversation. trev and i are also business partners in the game of real estate, which means i trust him emensely. hu-hut

Jarrod
J-rod, another Turlockian and former roomie. Jer and I shared a room our sophmore year at davis. the room was just big enough for us to fit in there, between his double bed and my garganuan desk, it was a tight squeeze. The foot of both our beds literally touched, if either of us was making noises in our sleep we could easily kick the other person to let them know. I've gotten to know Jer in an number of different aspects. We first met at church in grade school or jr high. we went to mexico with the church all through high school. we went to africa together in the summer of 2004. we've been in a bible study together now for maybe 5yrs or more. we've seen a lot of close friends get married and soon, I'll see him and Brownyn get married! Jer definitely has a very logical mind and is very methodical in his approach to things. He is very well informed and very caring at the same time. Jer is also super competitive, loves NFL football and sadly to say, the dodgers as well. Trev and Iwill forever call him Double-I, hu-hut!!

Peter Panos-Ellis
I met peter in college maybe in '99 or 2000. peter has so much personality and generous with everything he has. he inspires culture into me and i love getting calls from him telling me that he's at a greek party, opa!! he always knows that whatever he does has a direct impact on what he will be doing. he also always wants to have a good time and have the people around have a good time as well. his stonegate house will forever hate me for never losing a game on their home court ping pong table. peter's a blast and I know I'll always be friends with him throughout the years.

Julie
I've known Juile since before I was born probably. Our families have hung out forever. Juile had to put up with me for 3.5yrs after i moved in to her pad in davis. her brother moved out and i moved in. julie is probably the most super athletic girl i know and also probably the most soft spoken about it, well unless she's coaching you i suppose... she has one of the coolest and most mello dogs i know, nali. julie is still jealous about nali and i. julie took off on a trip somewhere and left me to take care of nali. i told julie that when she came back nali would be sleeping with me. normally i wouldn't say that was that big of a deal when talking about doggies, but nali is seriously attached to julie in every way. nali layed on julie's bed for 7 days straight, pouting, waiting for julie to come home. when nali finally realized julie may never come home (actually the night julie was due back) she crawled into bed with me. when julie got home, nali was so upset because she thought julie had deserted her, that she stayed with me. =) i'll always remember davis, nali, spanikopita, mousee-ka-ka, pizza, the garden, the chickens, and the simpsons!!

Kev
Kev, Bro, probably one of the most easy going and fun guys I know. Kev is the one that pushes me to keep doing things. When we are together there is no stopping: if we go wakeboarding, it's for all day. Skiing, it's non-stop. Biking, you'd better bring some food. Hiking, get your running shoes on. Tennis, be ready to do push ups between games. Kev is a great guy and a blast to be around. A very good friend and neverending adventures!

Shelton
Shelton, one of the most spontaneous guys and fun guys to be around. Don't look for patience when you have to make a decision, shelton wants an answer and wants to be having fun. He will make you think about what you're doing and ask why you aren't having a good time. If dogs and their owners are supposed to have similar personalities, I will just say he has a dog with tons of energy that will not get tired out while doing something. Can throw the disc like no one else, plays a pretty mean game of ping pong, and an even meaner game of bar golf. If you ever want a sundae from McDs he'll hook you up!

Tyler
Tyler, T-Money, T-Metro, Savage, Double-X, yeah baby!! Tyler grew up in the bay area and absolutely loves it there. I grew up in the central valley and can't imagine growing up anywhere else. Tyler is our fashion expert, no one knows how to layer like this guy. I've gotten to know tyler through church and various other activities and he's been a roomie for about a year now. Tyler always wants those around him to be happy and he also analyzes everything in his life. Tyler definitely brings the life to any situation. I'm still trying to figure out how this guy thinks, but I'm starting to realize, I don't really need to. I do know that rules are like the plague to him, so if you tell him to do one thing he'll do the oposite, unless you are expecting him to that is...hmmm. Great kid, glad I've gotten to know him over the years. Good memories in tahoe, biking in berkeley, friends weddings, San Diego (Escalade baby!). If you ever want to talk, tyler will ablige.

Fancy Pants
nancy, always so happy and excited to be around. I still don't think I've seen her upset, always has a smile on her face, how in the heck could you ever be in a bad mood around her. also a renowed baker and cook. she knows how to keep her rowdy 3rd graders in check. probably the perfect personality for a 3rd grade teacher. she will also always challenge you about the relationships in your life, if she can find any dirt, she'll dig for it and ask you what you are feeling and why. =)

Jeff McD
Jeff has been a good friend since high school when he moved to turlock. always the knowledgable computer guy and so much fun. i remember when we would stay up late at night and call each others computers and connect via the phone lines (keep in mind this was high tech then) and play descent against each other. i had the upper hand on him for a while (33Mhz computer baby!) then he got a new computer (66 Mhz!!) and destroyed me. good memories of living at parkside in davis across from trev. almost loosing a wheel moving up to davis, somehow upsetting the dorks that lived above us before even moving in, fish tanks velcro'd to the wall, spider killing via flame and microwave, starcraft, heroes, tekken. jeff is a great character and always so much fun to be around!!
