Unfortunately I did not get to crash the party across the street last night, on the plus side I suppose this saves my reputation in the neighborhood. In general last night was pretty boring, I went to the gym for a couple hours later in the night and managed to avoid the usual marauding presence of gay old men walking naked hips thrust outward in the locker room. I got a good workout, but last night is not worth talking about. Instead I’ll tell a story about some crazy stuff that happened this summer.
Boston/Halifax Trip ‘07
Airport to Maine: Nothing of note. Maine is one of the most boring places I’ve ever been. It was just a bunch of rural houses and tourist trap crapholes. There were also immense hordes of old people gathered to watch boring sailing ships – whatever floats your boat. (Cue drum + cymbals)
Halifax: We’re here to visit my relatives, so we drive to their house. My cousin knows of a party going on nearby – immediately we ditch the adults.
The party is alright, much drinking is going on. Plus there are a surprisingly decent amount of good looking girls. My brother and I are instantly celebrities when they learn we’re from Southern California. If my memory serves me well huge masses of people gather around us and ask us stupid questions. I’m the life of the party, damn straight.
There were stupid questions of all stripes but I remember one in particular.
Girl – “Have you ever partied with Paris Hilton?”
Me – “I’d shoot myself if they let that girl into the parties I go to.”
Girl – “What about any other celebrities?”
Me – “Oh you know, me and Snoop Dogg hang on the occasion.”
I think she believed me. I really think she did.
I return to the lake house we are staying at thoroughly fulfilled – let your imagination run wild.
The next day I wake up and experience a trip to the mall with my cousin and his friends. This involves opening the van doors on the freeway, some one loosing a shoe out said door, some one almost falling out said door, and some poor kid getting beaten up. Also a heated argument about whether or not the driver has the authority to make us listen to Fall Out Boy. I buy some cool stuff at the mall because I have a bunch of money saved for the trip. We return home and my cousin heads off to another party, I don’t go because I am tired from the drive up the previous night. I should have gone because I would be a celebrity again, but I was too tired – it’s kind of like having paparazzi follow you.
The following day my cousin has to leave to compete in his sport(don’t want to reveal information). So I head downstairs to hang out with my other cousin, she’s watching T.V. I find out she intends to go to a massive concert today. Daughtry, Nickelback, Hedley, State of Shock, Default and Finger Eleven are going to play. Well seeing as I’m a fan of those bands I definitely go with her, the best part is that I don’t even have to pay(my Aunt who is awesome pays for me). When we get there we cut the line where her friends are at – her friends are six good looking girls, this is getting better by the minute.
Naturally, we sprint full speed to the front of the stage where we spend the next nine hours listening to awesome bands. There is so much weed at the concert that it is affecting me, Nickelback even comments on the massive amounts of weed that they smell. Eventually we leave and wander around downtown, visiting various shops and then get on a ferry to the carnival at the other side of town. There we meet up with some other kids, and I am able to make many friends expounding how awesome California is. That is because everyone knows California is epic. I also piss off this one girl when I say that girls in California are prettier than here.
I can’t ever tell a lie!
We plan to take the bus back home, and on the way we encounter this guy who we start talking to. He then narrowly misses bumping into this poser-gangster black kid. The stupid kid starts to talk a lot of shit and I am fully prepared to beat the shit out of him. He’s obviously a complete pussy, he lives in Canada and I thus know he is not a gangster or packing anything. But luckily for him he backs off.
We manage to make it home and the girls sleep over. I’ll let your imagination run wild. Honestly, nothing happened – unfortunately.
Boston: Basically we go see all the things that tourists in Boston see. It wasn’t all too eventful, I was looking forward to the Fourth of July fireworks but from where we and about two hundred other people were watching trees were blocking the view. Yes, two hundred people actually sat for two hours and looked at trees.
So that was my story, hope it entertained you. I know I’ll post some more stories in the next couple days but that should get it started off well. Oh, I’m excited for Nightmare Before Xmas at Cox Arena on Dec.9 should be an awesome concert.
