Memorial day weekend- Remembering those who passed.. inspired by Gary- Montgomery... 

  Hello everyone thank you for reading my blogs , just an update yesterday was the most pageveiws I ever had in my 9 years existence.. I had over 1,000 page views from places as far away as The Philippines.. Maraming salamat po!! To the Middle east and Germany.. Ok.. I have been to Germany and met some really cool people, the food is incredible.. but the room temp beer is not my thing.. But hey  will try anything once.. But If I had a choice,,I'm going for the cold brew.. 
    Now to my blog. back in the day in southern cali.. San Diego,, I had my surfer white boy phase , it lasted what.. a few years.. . off  and on.. But I used to  go surfing at IB.. Imperial Beach is the offcial name.. OB.. Ocean Beach .. or PB.. pacific beach.. blacks beach.. no . thats the un officail nude bathing in the La Jolla shores area.. Its hard to get to because of the rocks.. and Like I said its unofficial.. Well the chicks go topless,, to get the full tan experience.. 
   Now the surfer thing.. Its not as fun as you think? First off you can wait for hours . waiting for that wave. and .. sometimes.. we get into arguments or fights over the waves. That sterotype surfer dudes are chill. yea to some extent.. But mixing alcohol and smoking pot,, and beimg in the hot sun.. waiting . sometimes make us hyper.. But I have seen some fine ass surfer girls.. dressed in those tight black suits.. its sexy but functional. The waters in San Diego , even in Summer time is very cold.. well , the reason,, I stopped surfing, was .. well you ever got surfers ear. thats an effection in the year because bacteria gets in there,. yup.. I got got it and it fucked up my hearing , even to this day.. Plus I did snorkeling and diving alomg the IB... area,, IB was or still is one of the dirtiest beaches I have ever been to, Sewage is dumped into the ocean.. by the TJ neighbors.. well thats why I have had numerous infections that have affected my hearing and skin.. well anyways. the main reason and saddest reaon..
       My dear class mate and friend..  Gary. thise dude was larger than life and all the girls,, at school had a crush on him. Shit.. I had a man crush.!!. Bro love ..!!  for him.. In other words. I admired his style.!!, He was muscular build for a surfer , he had long hair.. he was like a greek God.. a gift to woman.. But being a young and cocky , teenager. I never admited that I was copying him or trying to be like hum.. !?! Man ,. The hours at the gym , and eating like a horse, didnt help?!?! , I weighed 140 at the height of my hig school days .took steroids,..!  but mainly hovered arounbd 120.. yes. I was skinny boy.. well some muscle,, But anyways ,, One tragic day.. gary was caught in a rip tide.... current///  if you dont know what that is.. I will try to make a simple,, But it when the tides are rolling one way and then the underside is rolling another way. and its takes you away from the shore.. Well. the theory is .. dont try to fight it.. You swim towards the direction of the rip currents.. Its easier said or done, And I'm a average swimmer , so when Gary lost his fight with the rip tide.. and he's an excellemt athlete and swimmer.. !! It was devatstating.. I still can recall that day, when I heard the news. I was  working out and people let me know, at first, I thought stop fucken joking . But it was true and My heart sank.. I mean I wasn't a close friendship with him. But I knew him and like I said I admired him.. so this just seem so unfair,, too freaking young to pass away.. But It woke me up it made me realize.!! . This surfing thing is not my thing. so I stopped pretending to be a surfer dude.. and when back to my roots.. Growing up in Oakland and Long beach ,. listening to hip hop , funk. and pop locking.. Which is what I still do now,, its my original character..
     Gary was a really a cool guy and this day , I want all our Montgomey classmates from that era to just remember our classmates , that have passed.. One of my biggest blogs was a blog about Nancy . who.. was a very special person.. and Diane . is another one that left us too soon.. Like I said I want us to take time to remember the ones we loved that have passed and pay tribute to them , because as I found out. :Like is so fragile and fast and we ahve to be happy being who you are and if your family and friends get offended by what you say or do,, then just move on. Not everyone thinks or feels or can think or feel like you.. We all have different view points on life. Like civilians. dont understand vets.. and vice versa.. If anything try to have a open mind about people states of mind.. Gary.. I know your enjoying surfing heaven and looking good.. I know your bro Glenn , loves you and misses you very day.. Because those youtful days were so fun and special.. Those are special times.. that I will cherish, I just wish.. I could of been there for you. But being an average swimmer ..I would passed away. too..But hey as surfers. we are brothers.. and sisters. and we all just wanted to ride that wave.. 
        On this memorial day . I just want to say " GARY!!' We all at Montgomery miss you and your spirit and we know that life in unpredictable.. if anything it taught us that we need to do what you love , love what you do and just be authentic.. That my friend is what I learned about that day amd something I do now.. !! 
  May everyone have a safe day and be safe ,under the Stay home orders in Cali.. When things get back to normal.. Lets try to be more patient and friendly to one another.. We all are trying to enjoy life and be happy!!
