well to keep this one short... i was so obsessed with superman when i was a kid around 1st grade that i would wear my superman pajamas under my regular clothes.. three memories that directly relate to this are:

-i took a few of my local friends that lived in the same neighborhood to my back yard behind the shed.. i basically tried convincing them that i was superman by pulling up my shirt and revieling the superman symbol.. haha

-we had our share of bullys.. well my sister was getting harrassed in our front yard.. i busted out from around the corner my superman gear on.. got laughed at and one of the kids threw a rock at me.. i turned around for whatever reason and it hit me in the back of the head.. blood everywhere! my mom comes running out and runs me across the subdivision holding the back of my bleeding head with a dish rag headed for the house in which the bullys lived.. all i remember is the mom coming out and my mom yelling like mad at her.. not what happend after . . .

A few months ago I heard that Taproot was coming to the Detroit area at a really cheap price. Since there are some fellow rockers at my job at Chimes, I emailed them all and organized this concert. Unfortunately my buddy Andy didnt know whether the Pistons would be home that day and he had to give up his tickets.

Anyway in place of Andy, I brought my friend John as well as wrath ,my boss John and Matt's buddy Dan.

The opening bands werent that great. I think one band's name was Dirty Americans. So mostly me and my friends just bullshitted and talked. John totally stood out as an older dude, but thats because he wore slacks and a dress shirt. Come on John? Wheres your Distrurbed t-shirt?

I also saw my barber in the crowd and it was totally random because Matt was making fun of my "Jim Carey in Dumb and Dumber" hair cut.

During those two bands I freaking was downing these huge missles that contained Fosters and those totally got me toasted for Taproot.

Once on stage, I was . . . Read More..

Fun in Town 2004-09-15 | London Today I woke up, showered, had a crappy breakfast and the met up with the people I talked with last night.

Ginger and our other friend ended up getting an all day travel pass and hitting up the Tate Modern museum. By the time we got out there I wanted to sit down and write in my journal and I ended up falling asleep to the great view of St. Pauls cathedral. Somehow while I was sleeping some girl was sketching me sleeping. I never got to see it but I am wondering if my hair looked good. :-D

We also saw the tower bridge. That was probably the most amazing bridge I have ever seen. I have taken a lot of good pictures so far of me and my new friends.

After that we grabbed some lunch and ended up going to Big ben Westminster Abbey and Parliament. But when we got out, there was this huge demonstration. Apparently today they wanted to pass a bill banning hunting. The city was furious with this bill and it was so cute how they came together. I mean, if

So, this morning I checked out of my first hostel and I went directly to the train station at Kings Crossing and picked up a ticket for tomorrow to Edinburgh!! My plan is to arrive and in the morning start this 3 day back packing tour in the highlands. This will certainly be a huge change of pace. I really didn't do a whole lot today...I did have the most amazing fish and chips. I spent a lot of time visiting the national museum. Almost everyday I am in these museums and I get very tired from the sleeping pattern change I am in. So yesterday and the day before I took naps on the nice leather couches. A lot of people do it, so you don't have to worry. I was safe. I was feeling a bit lonely too this day. I think it was because I was out on the city with no accommodation and no one to hang out with. I still need to get my feet wet with these kinds of feelings. But almost like someone sent for me I met someone in the museum from NYC and I started to feel much . . . Read More..

So this sweet robot was soo cool that I took it home on the bus with me.  And of course, my mom didnt want anything to do with it and told me I couldnt take it into the house.  So basically my brother and I just shot it with the BB gun in the backyard and we trashed it all to hell.  It was funny.  I just thought it was hilarious how I took it home with me on the bus.
