Wow my trip to Europe was really an awesome trip. I went to help out with the last portion of the speaking tour and I really enjoyed it.

First I went to london to help prepare stuff for the event. Then they flew me to dublin, and I got to see the speech in Ireland! You wouldnt believe how many pubs there are in dublin. holy cow.

Yeah Ireland was fun though.

Guess who got seats to the RHCP concert live in London?
SWEEET!

RHCP LIVE IN LONDON!!!!! It was amazing how I got tickets, they've been sold out for months. We arrived at the stadium in Earls court empty handed. SWEET!
man it was really fun.

Here are some pics.

That was my dinner for the night.
Oh, and thats me when I forget my shaver in America. Oops...

That's Kyung from Holland.

This is Kyung Me and Hiem after the concert with a poster that i bought. i like how two guys decided to just jump in our picture

look its a bobby!

can you imagine what that smelled like

That was the venue. it was completely sold out.
fun times.

This is einz and veinz from germany. and kirk from london. isnt kirk a sweet name?

we went to BK so much. that girl next to me mirama or something i dont know how to spell it. she has SO many hookups in leicster square. she trades everyone for movie sneak-ins. whenever i was hungry i just told her i wanted ice cream or a whopper and she could hook it up. real sweet.

That's me and hiem hack from NY city

Thats rafeal. i forget where hes from. man i never got to say goodbye to him

That's robin. he shared his room with me a couple of nights when i found myselfi n south london. good guy that man.

We went out for chinese food. its odd hearing a chinese/english accent.

Well its been four months, twelve days, and eighty-two eprops since my last post.

originally I was holding out to post on May 9th, the day that the RHCP's new cd came out "stadium arcadium"

obviously that didnt happen.

What am I upto did you ask?
Well, currently I'm home alone at ashby house. All STF went to Splatt Hill for a seven day workshop yesterday. I stayed behind because I'm organizing summer of service in the bay area this year. It's going to be a really awesome proram and any highschool / college age kids from the country are invited to attend. I'm basically home alone, with a few exceptions at night but this weekend is gonna be scary. all by myelf. this is a big house yo! i hear some creepy people live here. ...

So, STF is coming to an end isnt it. It's been two years, and its all finishing. Man these two years have had so many exciting activities. There are so many memories. Remember the post I made when the first year was over? I listed from my journal any specific events that i recorded. if you havent checked it out yet you should, its pretty tight. http://www.xanga.com/willstein/310280595/item.html
Its dawning on me more and more that STF is coming to an end. There are a lot of mixed emotions inside. I'm exploding with ideas that have been oppressed for what seems like an eternity.

Did you hear that? that's my new cell phone.

this phone is incredible. its too small, i always feel like im going to drop it, but what it can do amazes me. i subsribe to picture mail and videomail so i can send out photos, and video recordings whenever something sweet is happening. the other day we went horseback riding on the ocean and i just recorded a 30 second clip and sent it to my mommy. she happened to be on the computer then and wrote back. not to mention i surf xanga every now and hten too. Also with 'power vision', i get unlimited web access, and i can stream music, or cnn, adult swim, fox. its really nice.
it was a pretty penny.
a very pretty penny.
but there are a lot of plenty more important things in life than a phone. i just needed a phone because STF is almost over.

theres a lot more but i honestly wonder how many people REALLY read my xanga. im sure most just post a comment.
stf graduation is on july 8th in new york. you all are invited to attend. i got lots of catchin up to do. call me.
well eprop me first, but then call.

well its two months later and im back on stf.
yes, i really did go back.
yes, i am still in hayward.

the other day i was dying for some boba tea so i took a stroll down hesperian blvd. to get some at a local asian place. i got the big boba kind. boba tea is really really good. anyway when i bought it i saw a sign that i thought was pretty funny.

hee hee.

im going to the gym everyday. we'll see how long i can keep that up.
i miss you berkeley kids.

i love you guys.

nov. 10th i left STF to go to israel for two weeks to help with fathers speech/tour.
israel was really fun. - no im not off stf for good.

we also went to Jordan ot the hotels that were bombed. that was a little scary.

I ate a lot of hummus too. Hummus in the middle east is really really good.

this is a picture with me and my boy josh schanker.

i was supposed to go back to STF when i got home but turns out i need to get my wisdom teeth pulled.

i hadnt been camping for a while so me and moffitt went to ocean city. that was really fun.
we snuck into a hotel, and found their pool and RIGHT when we were walking towards it, it's only swimmer came out and held the door right open for us. that was crazy.

that hot tub was SO HOT, i really almost fainted.

afterwards we went to see a late night showing or jarhead but the guy at the theatre said the theatre was broken . . .
...
...
it was a small time theatre and im pretty sure us not being there, would mean no customers and he could head home at 10 instead of 12. smart guy he was.
but thats ok. - i saw jarhead last night.

i got two speeding tickets. how did i get two tickets!?

i posted them on my fridge to see if anyone in my family would feel gracious enough to anonymously pay them for me. someone anonymously got fed up with them. they ended up on my nightstand two days later.

my dog doesnt like my tickets either.

ive been home for a pretty long time. im damn sure stf is starting to question.
but thats ok because i am loyal.

im getting much more involved with youth ministry in the area and am really happy to be helping out

me and some friends have been watching the band of brothers series over the past two weeks. man band of brothers is so friggin good..

some friends went to mic night up in new jersey and said it was a good time. i think thats a cool idea and thank you to whoever put it on.

goodday fellas.

edit:
bet's off sorry guys. he cheated and was deleting comments.
that's money too. man.

so, i guess i'm expected to make a post then.

do you ever get really really happy that you get to sleep? it started halfway through STF. sometimes i get so excited. its like a kid going to the fair or zoo. last night it was really cold in my room. and i just thought about my warm blankets. it has to be one of the best thoughts in the world. i wanted to sleep so fast. i ran up turned off the lights. changed into my pj's and hopped into bed. i was so excited i couldnt get to sleep for maybe ten minutes. just layed there with a big ol' grin on my face. really must have been ten minutes straight couldnt stop smiling. do you know when you are waiting for your body heat to warm up the air between you and the blankets. man. maybe just me, i dont know.

i usually dont post stuff like that, but i guess i owe it to you all because the bet is off.
love you lots.

oh yeah when your done.

So I dedicate this post to the one and only lady in my life.

We had many times together . . .
The day we met...
Our first kiss...

It was love.

I remember when I couldn't sleep at night, I would crawl into her bed and somehow . . . I never figured out how . . . but somehow I wasn't scared anymore.

I remember the way I used to come home and smell the message oils throughout the house, and it felt so clean - felt so right. Wherever I lived house or not - she made sure it was a home to me.

I remember the environment she always created for me allowing me to pursue any goal I had. Whether teaching me how to keep bookeeping at 10 on a McDonalds bench so I could keep track of my business better, or allowing me to breed mice in our kitchen as a business venture, or allowing me to leave conventional schooling at 15.

I owe much of who I am to the open minded loving character of my dear mother.

My one true love . . .

It's her birthday today.

25 years ago an angel fell from the stars. I call her Mom.

Happy Birthday my dearest Mommy.
