| 5:49 pm | Taylor and I cleaned my Dad's car for him this morning. Then went to one of our baby cousin's birthday party. I'm heading up the gorge now, going to get home, try to organize my room and get ready for work. Start at 7:00 tomorrow, I haven't been awake at 7:00 in a very long time. |
| 10:04 am | :::YAWN::: |
| 12:17 am | Taylor and I just got back from 'Gone in 60 Seconds'. Definitely not the best movie I've ever seen but still worth the money. Plot was kind of sketchy, dialouge almost matched that of Arnold Schwartzanager in 'Batman Forever' but the sexy cars and Angelina Jolie made it worth it. Liked it more than the all of the reviewers so that was cool. Think I'm going to head to bed now, hopefully I'll get some sleep tonight. |

| 3:28 pm | Best Breasts goes to the girl in the pink halter top...Hands Down!!!
(This is btw going to be a fairly long post, just warning)The show and the trip was Awesome. Dana and I made it to central Washington Friday afternoon and rescued Kailani from some RV park/campground. She was waiting for us there, talking to a Texan employee about their earlier life selling cocaine. She was happy to see us. She hopped in our car and we drove a few miles to George, Washington (No, I'm not kidding that's actually the name of the town). The Gorge Amphltheater is basically the best outdoor concert environment imaginable. It's in the middle of nowhere so it doesn't matter how loud you are. Every single person there is there for the exact same reason, to see a concert and have a damn good time in doing so. And, there's even a campground so that all of the drugged up, stoned, horny, drunken youthfull party-goers that we're forced to call "peers" can continue having a good time into the late hours of the night. We paid our $25 camping pass, walked back and forth between our car and the Ticket office a couple of extra times because SOMEBODY forgot to put their purse in the car :-) and were eventually ready to head down into the gorge. (This all of course after I applied a heavy dosage of Sure Powder Fresh deodarant to my underarms...forgot my damn deodarant at home.) Dana, Kailani and I are walking along the pedestrian trail (basically a huge gravel road) that leads us down into the amphlitheater when I hear Kailani give a very faint squeal and dart backwards. I glance down and there sure enough, no more than 4 feet away, is a rattlesnake slithering across the path(This was quite ironic because just a few hours earlier on the car ride over I was talking to dana about how I used to have to work around rattlesnakes, and, how I had developed quite the distaste for the poisonous bastards). I grab and stop Dana (she didn't see it) then stop 5 or 6 other people who were walking along the trial also oblivious (thank god Kailani saw it, could have been bad.) Some dumb-ass punk teenagers were like "hey let's catch it, let's catch it." (::sigh::) The concert staff wasn't to far away so we yelled to them and they took care of it. We continued on and soon became apart of the mass of skin(it was really really hot so everybody was skimping pretty heavily on the clothing...and yeah, you already know where this leads) that was headed past the ticket gates and into the amphlitheater. The amphlitheater itself was really cool. There's a huge grass hill for people to sit on, and then the floor up front for everybody who wants to get up close and personal. The cliffs and river make an awesome backdrop, the sun sets right behind the band. It's a very cool place to have a concert. We walk down to the floor right in front of the stage, and find our other friends chilling in what little shade was provided by a side fence. Went and sat witht them for the next 2 and a half hours, entertained ourselves by making fun of everybody's outfits. 7:30, concert Starts. Everybody rushes up to the state to listen to Fenix TX. They're a strong punk band who managed to get the crowd pumped up without any problem at all. I'm looking foward to seeing them again at Big Stink later this summer. By they time they finish playing Dana and I have pretty much lost everybody else. We decide to head up to where the crowd gets a litle more rowdy during the break between sets. The girl upfront in the black was the first to start it. You see her rise up above the crowd on the shoulders of a willing soul. Then, the little clothing that has up until now held her bare chest invisible to our eyes, suddenly dissapears. Cheers and whistles follow, then another girl pops up out of the crowd, heads turn, and the cylce repeats itself....over and over and over. God, you've just really got to appreciate a good concert ;-) Bad Religion, an old school punk rock band, starts up the next set and the flashing dies down. Dana and I are getting shoved around like the best of them now. I do my best to try and protect her/help her out, but it get's pretty rowdy in there. People shoving you, flying above you, lots of fun. Dana has finally had enough, she leaves and I push farther into the crowd. I'm probably 5 rows back from the boards/security guards and I see a family friend Kevin Whitson, insane to run into him in the middle of this mosh pit. (Kevin is 6'4 and a good 240lbs, state shotput champion...a good friend to have in a mosh pit, I hang around him) Bad Religion finishes, I have no idea where any of my friends are and Kevin heads out of the crowd, says I should go with him but there was no way I was backing out just before blink. It's dark, and more flashing commences. The girl in the pink halter top, the one I'd mentioned before is getting quite the bit of attention. Everybody is screaming for her to flash but she's kind of hesitant. She lifts her shirt up but the bra remains on, obviously nobody is satisfied. Finally she goes for it and at least 50 camera flashes go off. As I said before, she without a doubt gets the best breasts of the night award :-) It's dark, Blink runs onto the stage and everybody goes crazy. By the second song I somehow manage to shove my way to a spot on the boards (very front row, only thing left between me and the band is this wodden barracade and a row of security guards.) Blink was awesome, I love their music the show was great, I was completely stoked to be so close. Probably the best part about the band is their sense of humor. They incorporated some Eminem lyrics into one of the songs, and then they made fun of that damn 'thong song' by running out in nothing more than their boxers and shaking their asses at the crowd to the music. Damn good show. My ribs feel like I've just been through a boxing match, my head, aching with bumps from the shoes of the crowd-surfers. Every time I touch my right ear it hurts like hell, my nose got smacked pretty hard by somebody's head so that doesn't feel to great either. My sunglasses fell victim to the stopping crowd, my necklace was ripped off my neck by the wandering hand of a crowd-surfer grasping desperatly for something to hold onto. At the end of the show I find Dana and Kailani, my shirt is completely soaked(I don't however have BO thanks to that Sure Powder Fresh). We walk back to the campground, don't manage to fall asleep until 3:30 and drive home this morning exhausted. "But was it worth it you ask?" OH HELL YES!!! |

| 9:56 pm | LOL Well since Erik has been sharing some of his wonderfull FreeVote emails with you I'm going to have to post this one. The booth name is "Wuz Your Favorite Soda" and this guy wants it shut down because...
"I hate coke and i want this site taken away cuz me and this kid had a fight about cookies" Tempting, but probably not enough to justify a booth suspension :-) |
| 9:35 pm | We shampooed the carpet in my room today so EVERYTHING is off of the ground. I'm not supposed to walk in my room for 24 hours because it'll get it dirty so I dodged this problem by wrapping my shoes in some plastic wrap. Looks really damn retarded, I however prefer to refer to it as ingenious. So I'm sitting on my bed with my keyboard and looking between 2 massive speakers that are sitting on my desk to see my monitor. I do not think my room has ever been this clean. You should see the hallway. I guess Dana is showing up tomorrow at 10:30 and we're going to head to the Blink concert (Think she's just going to follow me there) so tomorrow should be a really good day. Been waiting for blink for quite awhile. Wow, the moon is really full and is rising above this huge tree outside my windo...looks really cool. Wonder if it's full tonight. Anyway, think I'm going to worka little FreeVote from my re-arranged workstation, should be interesting. |
| 1:28 pm | Home now, got back about 30 minutes ago. Really nice day so that's cool. I took my clothes out of the laundry this morning at my dad's and about half of my shirts were ruined from bleach stains. I guess they used tide WITH BLEACH and there was too much or something..dont' know. But that really sucks. Guess I just found some new work shirts. Think I'm going to go out on a bike-ride. It's way to nice to be inside. |

| 11:41 pm | LOL...listening to loveline and this guy calls up and asks adam for the correct technique for anal sex. Adam goes...well lets just say I wouldn't go for the running start approach, you're gonna need some lube.....heheh..funny stuff. |
| 11:29 pm | Decided to stay in Vancouver. My dad and I watched some show on TV about rescues and stuff, pretty cool I guess. I'm talking to Kyle about work. (he has pretty much the same job as I do but in a different place) He got 40 minutes and 37 seconds on the pack test today. I'm going to have to try and beat that :-) So yeah, neck burns, bored, not tired, but think I might have to head to bed here pretty soon. |
| 10:03 pm | So, we finished detailing my car, looks really nice. I talked to Erik and it looks like he's not coming down for the Blink concert afterall. Dana may or may not ride up with me I'm not sure, I might be riding solo. My neck is getting sore from the sun earlier, sure I'm going to have a nice red burn there in the morning. Was going to hang out here tonight but think I might just head up the gorge. Everybody goes to bed early so not much to do. |
| 3:01 pm | Well, looks like Dana isn't riding with me to blink anymore (think she's going to follow me or meet me there) and possibly not Erik either (but he's still planning) I'm going to head outside and clean my car....my dad and I are going to give it the really good througouh clean. Got a little sun earlier when I was out there so hopefully I'm not burnt before I get to Blink. |
| 11:15 am | Damn car won't start. I think the battery died while I was away at school and not driving. I hooked it up to the charger and am now pressure washing the driveway waiting for it to charge. Fun fun fun. |
| 9:38 am | Woke up kind of early, have to go get the snow tires taken off of my car. Drew Erik a map to my house here in Vancouver, think he'll probably show up sometime around 6 or 7 tonight. Off to the tire company. |
| 12:24 am | Wow, they're playing Kottonmouth Kings on the radio, just thought I'd let Ian know. |

| 11:19 pm | LOL...listening to loveline, this chick calls up, sounds stoned off her ass and says. "uhhhhh..I was wondering what the uhhh...effects of acid are after 50 hits." :::sigh::: |
| 10:48 pm | finally saw the new bond movie, it was pretty good I guess. My sinuses have been going crazy since I got down here, always do. Listening to some more love line, going to draw dana a map to my house. |
| 7:02 pm | |
| 4:25 pm | Down at my Dad's...just got a haircut. I'm talking to dana online, trying to give her directions to my house in willard so that she'll have a ride to blink, but she seems to be more interested in playing with her cat. |
| 12:43 pm | Lunch time...Ice Cream again :-)
Going to try to clean up the hallway a bit and then head to my dad's. Going to hang out there tonight and then come home tomorrow. |
