I met my friend jana710 at a bar in Keego Harbor MI.  She and a bunch of other South African friends were hanging out and I offered to take a photo of them all.

Jana and I were immediate pals.  We played pool together and had great conversation.  I had never met anyone from South Africa at this point.  And I liked when they talked in Afrikaans.

jana710 loves her bars in Keego, so much that they even kicked her out once they found that she had a fake ID.

Her and I have a random friendship because we always would seem to bump into each other at random bars like J.D.'s Key Club

One winter night when Kevin lived above a business in a sweet apartment in downtown rochester. He and a bunch of C-Town gangstas had me, Kev and Robin (my cousin) come over for a "flowing session".

For those of you who dont know what flowing is, just see the 8 mile movie about eminem.

So we all were at a bar that night hanging out and playing pool. The snow was coming down lightly and then we all went upstairs to their apartment.

Kevin had this buddy who was a white boy, but absolutely amazing at rapping. He even had rap CDs and stuff. And this guy could spit out rhymes like you wouldnt believe.

We had beats in the background and we all . . . Read More..

Speaking of random memories (lellel)... heres one...

Back at the hendricks house, my brother Dan and I used to have these blue metal shades on our window.

These were of super poor quality and I distinctively remember the shattering noise you would make when you would close them.

As well as the noise made when the wind would hit them.  Many times we would be goofing off and would run into them, thus bending the crap out of them.  They probably lasted me a good 10 years or so.  Just looking through old photos helped me remember them.

On my window sill I used to keep various banks and cars.  I also put my pinewood derby car on there too.  Pinewood derby is an event that boyscouts and cubscouts do to make their own cars and race them down a ramp.

Other things on my window sill were these dead sea animals that my grandma gave me.  One was a shark, one was a starfish and the other was an octopus.  They were preserved in this blue . . . Read More..

For my 8th birthday my mom caved in after all the bugging and had a small birthday party for Dan and I. Our birthdays are relatively close to each other, so we combined the party, half Dan's friends and half of my friends.

To start we had to purchase supplies. We went to toys r us and got all the fun little plates and whatnot. We also had to get food and cake as well.

From the looks of it, it looks like we invited Nick Caputo, Noel and Kevin Stalker, Scott Vogt, Jason, Chris Smith, and Blake Peters. We had a lot of fun that day. I remember playing foose ball downstairs and playing video games. But not a whole lot more. Mostly just being a kid goofing off.

But theres one thing I remember of this most was that my mom was not happy about spending 50 dollars on all this stuff. We didnt have much money growing up and this was asking a lot it seemed when I recall her putting stuff away at the counter of Toys R Us. It totally didnt affect me as a kid (even . . . Read More..
