Sometime after my first trip to China.  Maybe a few days later, I immediately had a business trip out to San Diego for training while working at Compuware.

I was living in Ann Arbor at the time and had not been back there for like a month straight.  

So I fly out there and it was such a long flight!  Even though I just had ridden at least 18 hours from China, 5 hours seemed very long to me to travel within my own country.

I get there on a Sunday afternoon and I swear I didnt even get settled into my hotel.  I think I immediately took my rental car out and around the city until I found a good spot to park and start rollerblading.  I was rollerblading all around Mission Bay and the board walk in San Diego and having a really good time enjoying the atmosphere.  I had some people take some photos of me as the sun set.  And I just was really appreciating such a beautiful new city that I have never been to.  I went to a crab shack and had some . . .

So I decided to pick up some tickets randomly to go to Cedar point with Susan in the summer of 05 I think.

One the way there, I remember we hit a bunch of traffic on the Sandusky exit and luckily I packed some whopping good bagel sandwiches so that we didnt have to starve to death.


I tried to get Susan to ride the Mellenium Force that day, but she
refused. Somehow I convinced her to ride the Magnum with me and she
was scared shitless.


Another random thing I remember was that I bought my famous Cowboy hat there. See my Easter memory. Keyword "Easter" in your memorycrawler search.

It was kind of cold that day, so it looks like Susan didnt come prepared and had to borrow my Italia jacket sweater.

I am sure you will think we both look like crap in the photos, but when you are riding rollercoasters, your hair never looks good.

I think the last ride of the night before we left was these Power towers. It was a total adrenaline rush!

Finally as we were leaving, I attempted to win a . . . Read More..

So I wanted to take the initiative for Susan to meet my grandma early,
because if I didnt organize some kind of meeting I was thinking that
she would never get to meet her before our wedding.



See my grandma lives all the way down in Naples Florida, and I know my
Grandma Renne cannot travel to come see our wedding this upcoming
February.



So I found some dirt cheap plane tickets and bought them.  As the trip
got closer and closer my parents had some heated discussions with me
about how I need to rent a car.  But the prices were more than my plane
ride and I refused to pay 450 dollars for a damn rental car.



So we flew out there with no rental, but I organized a nice car to pick us up.  It was 50 bucks to get to grandmas house.



I think once we got there, we immediately went to the beach and took
some of our first pictures.  I think Susan was already in love with
Florida. She had been down here in the past for spring break, but never

When my mom was going through dental school she did lots of tests on me to learn. Meaning she cleaned my teeth a lot.



On one particular occasion, she probably was scraping near my gums and since at the time I didnt floss much, they started bleeding a lot.



I always try to blame her and tell her that she cut my gums.



I also remember whenever I would get my teeth cleaned in her office I would take the air suction and make it suck out all of my air in my lungs.



Other things I would do when my mom is cleaning my teeth would I used to gleek on her and laugh.



Man I am a jerk.



For those of you who dont know what gleeking is, it is when you can control your salivary glands to spit out a little saliva kind of like how a snake would.



Fun stuff.



I think I need to seek assyluym from my mom for Male Gum Mutilation. ;-)

This is weird!

I remember when I was a kid that my brother Dan and I would go take a wiz together.  Talk about a once in a lifetime event.

I have no clue why we would do this, but it wasnt a big deal.  We would go against the golden rule of not crossing the streams.

I am just wondering what the purpose of going pee together was?  Interesting memory..... but it happened and thus it must be posted!
