ok so this weekend was rad, with us buying a bunch of cheap stuff at that strange garage sale in the abandoned albertsons, and then wearing it out that night. that was a night of some rad drunkin’ beligerence. but yeah, there was a whole lot of moving this weekend too. and then we screwed around on dan’s boat on sunday afternoon, and cruised around at top speeds. i swear we looked like we were drunk as we were pulling out of there, we had no control of that boat as we all tried desperatly to get it out of the launching area. that was rad too.

so the whole weekend was rad, but it made me kinda look at the way i’ve been living this summer, and its a bit surreal. i look at the way i live up in bellingham, and the way that i’m living in seattle. which one is the vacation? whih one is reality? i mean, i could chalk them both up as vacations i suppose because anything that isn’t school is a vacation for me. but socially its strange. i jump into drama here in seattle, while drama continues in bellingham. and then there’s redmond people i hang out with too. so i’m just this gomer on the sidelines who pops in occasionally, makes alot of noise and then dissappears again for a bit. i’m guessing i’ll get a feeling of home once i move up to bellingham, but i’ve just felt out of place this summer. it seems like i have dozens of people that i need to see all the time, and each person is like a different section of my life, like i have a segmented life now due to the different groups i hang around with. so socially, this has been a strange summer. but a good one. i don’t know i need to think through this more, but i guess i’ll do it later, cause its time to go home. i guess your life is kinda funny when the only real goal you have is to earn enough money to make sure you see the next. but it’s been fun.

ok, so i forgot to mention the most hilarious thing that happened on saturday night when i got together with everyone to go to bars in pioneer square. while we were walking up to the J&M, we saw this white mercedes stretch limo, and we were like, “damn that thing’s big pimpin'” so as the light changed and it turned left, we were shouting things like “big pimpin’!” and “bling bling” at it. and while it was turning we see this guy with a black suit on, lean out the window with bills in both hands saying “hell yeah!” at which point there was an explosion of laughter from all of us. that guy was awesome

this whole work thing ain’t a bad racket, ithink this is the first summer where i haven’t at least been slighty anxious to get back to school. this year i’m pretty much dreading it. i think our house will be fine, living in fairhaven will be fun, but damn, i probably won’t get to enjoy those too much cause i’ll be studying. whatever, i don’t want ot worry about it yet, cause i still have a month before i have to start dealing with it. that bridge will be crossed when i get to it.

well the past few nights have been interesting, hanging around with high school people that i don’t really see that often (besides ben, of course) so on wednesday we went to the workshop tavern which is this great white trash bar in redmond, one of the few drinking establishments there anyways, and we hung around and drank, it was interesting. a strange group it were, and uncomfortable silences seemed to happen every 10 minutes or so. i didn’t give a damn at all, it was just funny to me i thought. uncomfrtable silences are funny to me. i stopped thinking of them as uncomfortable awhile ago. i noticed that i really don’t have alot to say most of the time, because i hate just saying inanae things just to keep things “comfortable”. a whole lot of time is wasted saying things that don’t mean anything, and i think i just got tired of it.i’d rather have what i say have more meaning than most of it just be prattle. so when a silence like that comes around, i just sit around and look at everyone else involved. i’m sure as hell not going to come up with something inane to break it, i can entertain myself.

haha, oh yeah, i got myself a flat tire while we were driving around before hand, it was fairly entertaining, i managed to change that tire pretty quick though, like 10 minutes, but damn, driving back to seattle witht hat little donut thing on was a bit nerve wracking…made it allright though, gotta go get some new tires today….

but yeah, it was interesting, what with alyson there and all. tim showed up though, and no one’s really seen that guy in awhile so it was cool to see him. he’s a rad guy, but i don’t know him very well, but it was still entertaining. it was great when my brother came up though, we were all chilling. and he was motioning for me to come outside, it was funny cause he was in the family van with 4 of his friends and he was asking me if i had any greens, so i complied and gave him some, it was just hilarious to me. my brother rocks. but then scott, eric and i took a little drive and ended up outside of his house and we shibbied for a bit, that was good fun. its too bad scott leaves on next monday, cause i’m gonna be around for the next two weeks in redmond with not a whole lot to do. anyways, i went home after that, that was a pretty tiring night, i remember yesterday at work being pretty damn long, i was so tired.

but we took off from the office a little bit early and ben and i went home to redmond where we filmed some hilarious stuff, that i hope my brother will find on his camera, and then we chilled with my dad for a bit while we waited for mike and eric to show up, so we could go play some golf. we headed out to good ol’ tall chief, buying a half rack of key ice on the way. so playing golf was hilarious. i had the most horrible slice yesterday, so that i was almost facing 45 degrees away from the way i was trying to hit it to compensate. this only got worse as the beer kept being drank. we got to play the back nine this time though, cause there was some tournament or some jazz, so we couldn’t play the familiar holes. ah well, we got some good golfin in. but then we came back form that and got pretty shibbied and watched dating shows, that was pretty funny. oh, and we had a trip to wendy’s. i remember everyone being pretty damn confused on the way there, that was pretty hilarious.

sigh…. i don’t really want to be at work here, cause i ould be at home, i mean we’re the only ones in the office. might as well work to pass the time i suppose…

high low high low, have i always lived this way? i swear, the more i struggle for normalcy, the more i push myself away from it.

but today is one of those good days. nothing to worry myself over, nothing to really get done, well except two things today. get a new ATM card, and clean our freakin’ house. oh yeah, gotta give a violin lesson today.seeing as today already started off so easy, i don’t wager that its going to get much more so.

man, i thought today was gonna be ass, cause i would have to be out in the field all day, but i got to arrive at work at 8:15 instead of the usual 7:00, but i got to leave at 11, so it was like i at work at 7. so now, i’m feelin all nice and rested, i got nada ahead of me today, especially sitting here a tthe offic. data entry is better than being at roxhill, i have to admit. sucks for ben, apprently he had to stay out in the field all day. i probably could have just stayed home today, but shit, i can’t get away with that like i used to last summer. not enough people here anymore, and actual jobs to take care of. hahahaha….”actual”

whatever, i’m just rambling

ramble ramble ramble

i like water, i really don’t know what i would do without it. i mean, i crave sweet drinks like lemonade or coke or something like that all the time, but even now that i can afford that junk, i still don’t go out and buy it, cause it does cost money, and water is already in the house and doesn’t require me to go out and buy things, hence avoiding the store. i just feel so out of place in public places these days. not that i haven’t always felt that way i guess, but more so latley. its more funny to me, really. all those people doing stuff, and me joining them to do more stuff, stuff makes the world go round, at least it makes our society go round. i guess it makes the world go round too, cause stuff is a pretty all encompassing term.

its all about stuff, people who think things are in so have it all wrong. things just isn’t broad enough to cover everything that’s ludicrous in our universe. stuff is so much more fitting. i feel much richer with stuff as opposed to things.

huh, looks like the sun’s starting to come out, maybe it’ll be like yesterday and the sun will come out around 3 or soemthing, right as i get off work. that would be nice, i plan on going on a bike ride today. twould be nice if it twere sunny though.

WuDaR!

man, i just leaned up against the wall, and took a half hour nap untili was woken up by the phone. i might as well be at home, oh well, i’ll hold out for another hour.

good lord the insanity of yesterday, i hadn’t done that much driving in awhile…

but yeah, the drive was long, but luckily the police decided to spice things up and pull me over, for jay not havign his seat belt all the way on, and because i was riding the yellow line cause my steering wheel has a whole lot of play. guess he thought we were drunk or stoned or something cause he had me get out of the car and grilled me about how i knew these people, and what we were goign to see, and if we had any dope. i thought he was gonna make me do sobriety tests, that would have been funny. but yeah he checked my license and shit and just let us go, he was actually allright for a state trooper.

but yeah we got there, and we sat around the parking lot and drank rum and cokes for an hour or so, i had three half and half cans so i was pretty damn good by the time we got to the will call window. ben also randomly ran into friends from puyallp, that was pretty humorous. these other people started asking us for some random ass ride too, like this candy girl didn’t wnat to pay for camping, so she wanted us to help her mover her car somewhere legal, because they didn’t allow overnight parking in the lot. imagine that. but yeah we told her that we would help her if she was around when it was over, but we weren’t goign to wait around for her. of course she wasn’t there when we came out either.

but yeah, right off the bat, digweed had cancelled, which was a bummer, and ash cancelled too, but i didn’t really give a damn about that. the avalancehes were a dissappointment, cause there was only one of them there (out of the five of them) and he was just spinning some low key house, none of their stuff got played, but oh well. diselboy ripped it up though, per usual, and its always great to dance to d&b drunk off your ass (which i was at the beginning of the concert). and then tiesto played and dan plyed. tiesto was rad, i hadn’t heard some good trance in awhile, and it was refreshing since most people just play dark house or dark tech these days. that shit ain’t for dancing as far as i’m concerned. and dan was funky as hell, out of the couple times i’ve seen him, he totally ripped it up this time, it was funky, and it was dirty, and i was dancing really hard for his whoel 3 hour set. it was really rad. i also saw lily there which was cool, we danced for a bit, and talked and whatnot.

i did go out occasionally to see teh other acts though, busta was pretty funny, when i went out there to see him he was immediatlyyelling about weed and telling everyone if they had it to smoke it. you could see a lot of puffs of smoke coming out from the main floor of the gorge, it was hilarious. i also heard form lily that he brought out a this swaddled thign that looked like a baby and pulled out a bottle of cervasze and proceeded to pass it around to the crowd, busta was pretty damn belligerent from what i could tell. saw bowie for a little bit too, i mean the guy is a legend, and its for good reason. he covered some elvis songs (along with everyone else yesterday, since it was the 25th anniversary of his death). and i listened to a few more of his songs before goign bak to see dan. moby is well…..moby, if you’ve seen him once, that’s about enough. he still put on a good show, for first timers, but it was almost exactly the same as last year….and the year before…except he didn’t play the fastest song in the world which kinda dissappointed me, cause that was a great part of his show. guess he had to make more room for smash adult contemporary hits like “we are all made of stars” riiiiiiight. walking out was pretty funny too, apparently the trojan people didn’t hand out all their condoms, so they were swarming people at the door, after i got handed like my 7th condom of the night, i was just like “not gonna use it…” at which the girl who handed it to me, and ben promptly exploded in laughter.

driving back was uneventful, but i was so sore already, and i had to drive all the way to redmond, then to wallingford, and back here, so it was 3:30 by the time we got back and i just went and passed the fuck out. it was a rad day thoguh, but now my entire backside is so sore, i mean, i’ve never come back from dancing all ngith at a rave with my neck this sore, what the hell did i do to it?

fuck, i think its time to read a bit more, my friend mike is flying in around 11:30 so we’re goign to pioneer square.

my kingdom for some greens……

friday friday friday

this week as been odd, if not short i suppose, and this weekend only shows a trend of more craziness. so today, i’m going to area 2, with ben, alyson, and jay. this is kinda an interesting combination to me, but i’m sure it’ll end up being fun. i really am stoked to see the avalanches, and am gonna do everything possible to make sure we get there by 4:15. then it’ll just be wandering around from the main stage to the tent, as my mood for dancing dictates. i haven’t danced to some nice progressive trance, and i’m sure tiesto and digweed won’t dissappoint.

and tomrrow, my friend from hgih school, mike, is flying in from boston, so this just dictates that we all have to get together again. only difference is that we’re all 21 this year, so we’re gonna be going to pioneer square and going to some trendy bars where i am overcharged to get moderatly drunk. ah well, its mostly just chilling with friends anyways, which is the point of going out in the first place.

hmmm, what else…

oh yeah, yesterday i finally got up enough initiaive and enough nothing to do to go out and see the seattle asian art museum. i’d been meaning to go most of the summer, after i learned about it back at the beginning of the summer. i was pretty surprised a the collection that this place had, although there wasn’t as much painting as i had hoped for. they had lots of porcellain artifacts from china and japan, and some of those were pretty striking, and then they had alot of 1st century sculptures from india. i swear the intracacy of everything there wouldn’t seem humanly possible to just be constructed with primitive tools. all those craftsmen of the days of yore own me. they also had this crazy korean modern artist who recreated his new york apartment using translucent silk. the attention to detail was just amazing, i mean he actually had the light switches in on, or off position. it basically could have been a glove for the entire apartment, it was pretty impressive.

i’m stoked cause i get to use this ticket stub to get intot he seattle art museum sometime next week, which is where i relaly want to go, cause they have this collection from england or something that has alot of romantic artists like gaugin, monet, and some picasso as well, among alot of others. i’ve never been their either, so i bet it’ll be pretty cool.

bloop, i think its about 11 meaning its time to bust this popsicle stand and head out to the gorge.

woo hoo! i got a pet rat yesterday, and it is very very rad. got a nice huge cage with it too, and all for free!

sweeeet

only 10 minutes to go, wonder how much i can fit in during that time before i leave, probably not much i suppose, since i normally think out things, maybe i’ll just not think out things and just dump shit onto here, sure, that sounds good.

maybe i can get a long, continuous run on sentance, where i don’t use periods because they aren’t really necesary due to the fact that i can keep rambling and using commas which allow the sentance to continue running in a smooth and orderly fashion, keeping things from making sense to a minimum which in turn keeps me writing and trying to keep things interessting and fluent, so you keep reading this and not really notice that i’ve been using a bunch of commas and probably bad grammer just so i can keep this sentance going.

ok, that was allright, but i couldn’t keep rambling about a freaking sentance for too much longer, i gotta think of a subject so i can write a gigantic run on sentance that no one will read, but at least i’ll know that i created it.

that will be for tomrrow though, for now, i think i’m going home, to enjoy a beautiful day.

beautiful.

well shit, here we go, i changed my format here a little bit with hopes that i might start eventually customizing this shit on my own, it’ll just take a crappy day and nothing to do but sit around on my computer. i finally got my archives working though (thank you wank), so those are finally up. the rest is just gonna kinda be played by ear as i learn html, oh well, i kinda like this simple layout though, wudar.

the sure sign of a high school skank:

A no eariler than 98 honda civic or an acura integra with a rainbow hawaiian lei hanging from their rear view mirror.

is this some kind of strange high school sorority cult, where all these attractive girls take their cars out to some secret meeting place in the middle of the woods and proceed to have whipped cream wrestlign matches that eventually turn into massive lesbian orgies? or is this some sort of callign card that says “hey, i’m looking for a good time, no strings atacthed”? or is it just there cause its trendy and cute? although i would really like to believe that my first guess was correct, i guess the last one probably is. i can still hope though.
