During spring break in '05, I took Emily down to Arizona to stay with my great uncle. While down there, we did the usual tourist stops of crossing the Mexican border, visiting Sedona, AZ, going to the Grand Canyon, crossing the Hoover Dam, and finishing the stops in Las Vegas. Our plan was to head up there and stay at my uncle's daughter Julie's place in Vegas and then do some sight seeing the next day and head back to Arizona. Well, we got to Vegas, did some sight seeing (tons and tons of walking), and then stayed the night at Julie's place. The next morning we planned on doing a little more sight seeing and head back. Well, we walked down the strip some more and soon realized that we weren't even going to see half of the main drag. So we just decided we would go find some cheap motel and end up staying 1 more night. We went to some of the lower scale hotels on the main strip, but those places were still way to expensive for a last minute . . . Read More..

One time my mom and I were going through the taco bell drive through off of M-59 and I attempted to shoot my straw wrapper at her.

At the time we were infamous for doing this. But on this particular occasion the wind must have been blowing in the right direction because the thing went like 15 feet into the drive through window and gracefully hit a guy in the butt.

He never knew because it was so light. But it was still hilarious. Both my mom and dad would get mad at places like Big Boy when the straws would hit other people accidentally.

I once was on a site for dating called Lavalife when I was looking to date a bunch. For the most part it worked out cause I met a really cool person who is on this site (The_Liz).

Anyway on my first blind date on the site, I met a girl from lansing who came down to Novi to meet me. We had had great conversation over the phone and she sounded super cute.

But when I saw her I immediately was shocked as she wasnt even remotely cute at all. I am normally not superficial, but I just had no physical attraction to her.

Immediately things went bad... way bad. She immediately began holding my hand not even two minutes after we met which freaked me out! It freaked me out so bad that I had to purchase a TShirt just so I could have something in my hand to prevent these things from happening to me.

I mean she just lost all respect for me right when she started holding my hand. Additionally are great conversations turned into nothing and she had nothing . . . Read More..

I remember that we used to have this neighbor who was a younger, blonde-haired kid named Jesse. He used to always want to be a part of our group but we were mean to him.

One day Kevin, Dan and Dave were over and we were out in our front lawn, probably throwing madballs over the roof or something. Jesse came down and wanted to see what we were doing and if he could join us. We fabricated a holiday to get out of this one. We told him that today was "Family Day" and that you were supposed to be with your family today. Dan and Dave were over on Family Day because they are my cousins. Therefore, Jesse could not hang out with us today but had to be with his family.

The weird thing was that I think I remember him believing it and going back up the hill towards his house.

Man we were meanies. Sorry Jesse.

The Beast. This is one of many times I almost lost my beast of a car. For those who never seen my car let me describe it for you. It was a 1984 Buick LeSabre. Literally a box on wheel. Fit 3 people in the front and 4 or 5 people in the back. Comfortably. And I?m sure like 5 bodies in the trunk. ? not that I tried or anything?.hehehe..Well In the winter it became my 1000 lbs sled as I attempted to stay on the road.
Well on this particular day we wanted to go sledding so we drove down to the lake were the best hill in the area was. Of course, rather then park a safe distance away I parked right on the hill and slid down into a snow bank. Being the bright guy that I was, I figure if I floored it I could get out. Well it turns out when you floor a rear wheel drive car on ice it just fish tails all over the place. This not only took me out of the snow bank, but brought me inches from the edge of a cliff which was just over the lake. I thought I was done for. My . . . Read More..
