whirl-wind: noun. a tumultuous, confused rush

Yo. I would seriously like to ammend this definition. How about: whirl-wind: noun, a tumultuous, confused rush of awesomeness. So my story begins... I met this guy...

And it was perfect. Like wake up on the right side of the bed, find $5 on the street, hear your favorite song at the super-hip indie bar downtown and immediately begin dancing... it was that perfect. I know what you're thinking: really? again? another perfect dude? YES!

His name is Julien. He's a brooding artist. That's pretty much all you need to know about him. I met him last summer and he swept me up in his whirl-wind with serious precision. Tumbling, stumbling, fumbling around the city with Julien is like curling up with my favorite bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon and riding Dorothy's tornado swept house to a far-away land. Yeah...

So anyway, he asked me to go away with him for a weekend... eek :-) We're going to Costa Rica! I'm sorry... did you say Costa Rica? Where the oceans are blue, birds sing and there are miles and miles of surfer dudes? Oh, you did? Ok dope, Costa Rica, here I come! He said all I needed to do was smuggle in a few bottles of my Cab and bring some serious Mischief-ness. Done and done.

Stay tuned for a re-cap of my adventures swirling through Costa Rica, twirling through bottles of wine and trying to get my footing with Julien. I'm just gonna put this out there... I'd be jealous too.
