Ciao bella....

let me tell you, if picking up girls is an art. then consider me Michalangelo. i speak about 10 phrases in italino and most of them are about food. having the curage to talk to a girl a party is kind a big deal, now trying when you clearly stick out as the tall quasi awkard american and you speak no italain even harder. haha i kid i kid.
birdie- hope the recovery is going well.... get back in shape for lax, we all know its life.... or so i hear.

mom- ive hoped you stopped crying, jusjoshen
dad- i hope you are enjoying your doo-doos
trey- hope your thinking of more creative excuses to not go to work
stac- hope you are getting siked for the gellato! its redic.
nick- hope you are still alive
sis- hope you are dealing with the crazies/..... and by crazies i mean my family, not those actualy crazy at your work
IV- hope u are diggin the fan and laughing at the wall/ staying up all night to piss off III


ciao
