So I guess it's time for me to get my two cents in about what has happened here this past week... I hate this sort of thing, I hate it, I hate it, I hate it. I try not to think about things too much, but it's all over every single channel and I can't get away from it. I turned the TV on this morning and there was a report on about how all these Muslim mosques were being bombed and vandalized... how sad is that? Don't fight fire with fire, this situation is terrible enough... We say "hey, how can terrorist target a bunch of innocent people that haven't done a thing to them?" Then we go fire up some random Muslim mosque because the terrorists just so happened to be Muslim too... how the hell is that any different? People think they're not Americans, well they're just as American as you are, I'm sure. American is a way of life, not an ethnicity... we all forget that sometimes. I think its funny that when it comes to black people we call them African American... but when we're talking about white people we just say American, and not French American, or Irish American... We all live here together and we all bleed and cry and hurt in the same way any other American does. Anyway... it was just a thought.
God Bless America

Yesterday at 8:07pm I arrived home from a crazy crazy trip to Portland, Oregon. Naturally I was there to spend my time with my great friend Dan, who not only has an AWESOME girlfriend, but can bowl like a champ too. In a city of sin like Portland, the trip was fully equipped with excitement, fun, sex, scandal.... the works. However this is a family show so I won't corrupt those virgin ears/eyes I know each and every one of you have. (Or I just don't feel like telling, ha!) So lets recap the trip in the same fashion as Maryland:
Best Part? Seeing Dan again of course!!
Worst Part? Not being about to find the light switch in the room I slept in... I left it on ALL night!
Weirdest Part? Losing all common sense and freaking out at 3am
Funniest Part? When Mike thought he'd be real clever and bowl on Dan's turn, thinking he's fuck up his score... but got a strike instead :) (That probably wasn't the funniest part, but I just thought I'd embarrass Mike a lil bit)
Most Unexpected Part? Umm... no comment.
Successful Trip? I'd say so

I'm home! Ocean City was beautiful, and fun, and I had a blast with Duh and Jimmy and all Duh's relations. Things got a little hairy at times, but I suppose it works like that in everyone's family. Above is the Ocean Gallery which is on the Boardwalk. We spent many hours waiting outside, and wandering inside looking for Alex, Amanda's brother. All in all, it was good times, I got a pretty good tan, and I didn't get struck by lightening. So here's a few quik facts about the trip:
Best Part? the hot Scopes guys... well, tied with the food we ate on the Boardwalk
Worst Part? the mosquitoes!!
Weirdest Part? When those two people were having sex on the beach ten feet away from us
Funniest Part? the fact that all Amanda had to do was look at her cousin and she'd bust up laughing all over the place... that and her beer goggles... and when Jimmy flashed the peace sign at the little kids in the car next us and this li'l 5 year old kid flashed one back.
Most Unexpected Part? Seeing the Jesus freaks on the boardwalk parading down the boards with an 8-foot cross
Successful Trip? Oh yea!!
Peace out beach bums

Alright, so since I started this damn thing, here's whats goin on. I quit my job! No more L&L for me. As of Monday August 13th, 2001... at 6am I'm flyin out to Maryland for two weeks. I'll chill on the beach in Ocean City with my girl Amanda (aka Duh) and Jimmy too :) I've been hangin out with a lot of my friends who have to be in school in August cause I won't get to see them in a real long time. So lemme take a sec to say bye to Gummy, Kelli, Rich, and everyone else! I'll miss ya all! On my own college life at the University of Oregon, I got all my classes... 17 credits - astronomy, philosophy, creative writing, spanish etc... I'm living in Schafer in the Walton complex with a pretty damn cool girl named Cordella from Portland. I think we'll get along real well. I'm real excited bout next year! Anyway, I'm gonna get goin here. Love you guys :)

Hey you all... I miss every single one of you... everyone but YOU. :) just kidding. So here's my sad excuse for a webpage... I am computer illiterate and I used a cheat program to even make this piece of crap. It's true. I work 5:30am-11am Tuesday Wednesday Thursday at L&L on Willamette, you all should come visit me :) Meanwhile, here's all the pictures I've got up for now... you can look at them if you so feel the need. Also, go visit Amanda's webpage while you're at it. - she must be my twin or somethin'!
