I’m finally back from my week long stay in hot and humid Arizona (It’s usually dry and I luckily caught the tail end of monsoon season, so didn’t see much rain)…good times with family and friends.
My little brother finally commissioned as a U.S. Marine Lieutentant and will soon be leading a few good men into battle as an infantry officer. Not exactly what the family would like for him to be doing, but we are all proud nonetheless. Especially my dad, former ROK Marine who served in Vietnam (Recon), and retired from the U.S. Army after twenty some odd years (MI). Yea, you can imagine growing up with that…
Speaking of which, dad probably hadn’t been back in AZ in almost 20 years (we used to be stationed in Ft. Huachuca back in the day), so he wanted to do some “re-visiting” and “sightseeing”. Unfortunately, we didn’t have too much time, so we crossed Tombstone off the list (which we had already been to before anyway)…Kartchner Caverns apparently requires an advanced reservation…but Saguaro National Park was easy access for us to feast our eyes on. I don’t say this very often, but the scenery was BREATHTAKING!
Peep my photography game…
There’s cacti all over the place! Mostly Saguaro…obviously…
Check out the size of this one…and there ARE bigger ones, by the way…
Check out pops’ kicks…yes, they are his…
There it is. Although I still had to work during my stay and AZ has always been a very familiar place to me, it was nice to take a little break from Southern California. I don’t know where I’m headed next, but the Bay, Vegas, Seattle, and NY are definitely on the top of that list. I should have already hit 1 or 2 of them by now, but you already know how I fell way behind schedule and shit.
Which reminds me, things are being set back just a tad bit more…we’ve decided to drop one of the shirts from our line up and you probably know which one it is. Yes, that “Any Given Sunday” one has got to go. I had mentioned in a previous post about how I was in a rush and had to compromise the graphics for it, due to printing issues. Well I think we all knew that it was shitty from the get go. I mean, it’s a hot ass quote, but the graphics are just way too shitty. Stay tuned for its replacement!!
Also FYI, we are making some more sexy beaters for all you sexy ladies out there. That last batch ran out quick…shit was gone in a few weeks!! We’re also making some Sanz Pareil keychains and you just might find it useful. So be on the look out people!
Before I go, I just want to say thanks again to everybody that has supported SP through all the growing pains.
