Weightless ~

I love my parents, so I hate saying goodbye to them, even though it is only for a year. Yep, I finally made it, almost graduated college, an internship is waiting for me. Mr. Sanchez is golden, seriously! I've known him since I was a little kid. Him and my dad met in college and have been best friends ever since. So I'm really lucky, because Mr. Sanchez, or Rodrigo – as I call him, offered me a one year internship in his law firm. So you're probably wondering why all the goodbye fuss is present – the thing is, that the office is in San Diego. I know, right! I've always been such an eastcoaster, lol. I've never really been on my own before, so this will be a great experience, no doubt.

My dad rented a small apartament for me downtown, so I'll be relatively close to the office. You're probably all like Oh yeah, look, a great opportunity, the internship and everything… Well it's not that heavenly for me … don't get me wrong, I love law and I don't regret going to law school cause I'm really good at it. The thing is, I love playing music and singing. I play the guitar and everybody says I have a really good voice, including my parents. But I couldn't really find people to start a band with, so yeah, still a dream of mine.

After a long flight I got a cab and drove to my apartament. It was awesome! My dad is really the best! I arrived on a Friday afternoon, so I'd have the weekend to myself, do some sightseeing or maybe see a show and stuff like that. Friday, Friday… I turned on my laptop and checked out the popular places and upcoming events. Nothing really caught my eye, so I decided I'll check out the boardwalk on the beach and grab a beer or something. I just changed my shirt – I put on the new Iron Man shirt I bought last week. I quickly fixed my hair, since it was all messy from the flight where I was sleeping like it's my last time, lol. It was still pretty hot outside so I just took my wallet and put on my Vans sneaks and left.

The boardwalk was crowded, I love it, it felt so alive. There were a lot of bars so I just sat in one and ordered me some beer. I enjoyed the evening, it was awesomeness, just listening to people laughing, having a good time, looking at the ocean. Then I hear this cool music playing near. I paid for my beer, grabbed it and went to see what was going on. I see a crowd that made a huge circle around two guys, playing acoustic guitars and singing. One of them had a little longer, sort of wavy brown hair and wore a snapback and the other had kinda spiky short black hair and cheek dimples when he smiled. I don't usually notice that, but it was really obvious. They were so into it, I loved it! People were clapping by the rythm, singing along and when they ended singing, gave them a huuuuge applause. I simply had to meet them. So when the crowd got smaller I stepped towards them. »Okay, that was fucking awesome, good job on the song!« They both smiled. The brown haired one had the best tan ever, looked really mexican and his eyes were shining when he was singing. That I did notice, his beautiful brown eyes. He also had the most gorgeous smile ever. »Thanks man!« he said. »I'm Vic, this is Jaime.« »Hey, I'm Alex.« I said and shook their hand. »So Alex, are you from around? I don't think I've seen you here before…« asked Vic while Jaime was taking care of their guitars and mic stands. »No, I actually moved here a couple of hours ago, lol.« »Really? That's nice dude. Do you play?« »Yeah, I do, but I sing mostly.« I was blushing a little, cause I know what people say when you tell them you sing. »Can you sing something?« asked Vic. At first I was hesitating a little… but what the heck. »Sure, here's the chores of the song I wrote a few weeks ago.«

Give me therapy, I'm a walking travesty
But I'm smiling at everything
Therapy… you were never a friend to me
And you can keep all your misery…

They were both looking at me. »So, that's that, what do you think?« Vic put his hand on my left shoulder. »Wow man, that was really something. I liked it.« Jaime nodded and showed me thumbs up then said: »We're playing tomorrow, us and the band… you're welcome to come with us and see it if you're free. There will be other bands too. We can grab a beer after that.« »Sure, I'm free.« I said and grinned. Vic took out his cell and handed it to me. »Save your number, I'll text you the details later.« I saved my number and gave him his phone back. »Here.« »Thanks man. Talk to you later.« »Yeah, sure. See ya!« I said. »Bye man!« Jaime was waving. I waved back and took off. They were really nice, couldn't wait to see the gigs tomorrow night.

When I came home I did a little unpacking and feel asleep fully dressed. Whatever, San Diego was starting to like me ;)
