HEY! more shit. check it:

friend of ours had a cornfield, so we went to pick some.

when dad was a bachelor, he only had condiments in his fridge. now that he’s married, he only has condiments in his fridge.

burned out car at the end of my street. no idea how it happened.

you’ve seen the stephanie/ned portraits, these are katy’s and mine. they’re.. just terrible.

mom and katy outside a restaurant.

waiting for the rest of my friends to show up at bar trivia night.

gretchen, my cousin, gwyn’s sister (probably a picture or two of her in the archive somewhere)

a massive two story fire at joe’s, this doesn’t do it justice.

my dad’s weird ass cat, george. this dude sleeps/sits/hides in the sink, has no problem getting wet, and as you can see, toilets are fair game.

and finally..

paul shaved down to a moustache for his chicago job. he looks EXACTLY LIKE HIS DAD.

and here’s paul in all the shit he has to wear for the job - the fact that the moustache sticks out on either side is fucking hilarious.

my head hurts, it’s 4am, and i’ve spent 400 bucks on presents over the past 14 days. i’m going to bed.

I haven’t used a computer at 20,000 feet since.. Vegas? Maybe Vegas. Maybe it’s not even 20,000 feet. Ten, or fifteen. In any case, that’s where I am, ‘cos our family went down to Orlando for the weekend for my sister’s friend’s (Amy’s) wedding. My sister was the maid of honor.

On Friday, we left and picked up Gwyn and Mandy, and headed to Kinston for our el-cheapo flight. I had been on the fence about going in the first place, but the ticket had only been about a hundred bucks, so.. fuck it. Upon arriving there, they told us that the only flight going out of the airport that day – ours – was delayed, late in taking off from Florida. Gwyn, not a good flier anyway, had already taken her valium, and we had some time to kill. We headed out of the airport and to a bar for about 45 minutes.

Thirty-five thousand feet. That’s what my gay flight attendant dude said we’re at right now. Anyway back to the story. Leaving Kinston late left us arriving in Florida late, which meant we were late for the rehearsal dinner, though I don’t think they really rehearsed at all. Just an excuse to go to dinner. Luckily, the restaurant had delayed them as well, so we caught a break and arrived as they were ordering drinks.

Unfortunately for me, it was a crab shack. Fulton’s, near Pleasure Island. I look at the menu, seafood, seafood, seafood.. crappy non-seafood, so on and so forth. I think, well.. shit, if I’m gonna get sick trying seafood again, it might as well be GOOD seafood that I am not paying for in a nice location. So, I ordered 1.25lbs of Alaskan King Crabs. Expecting the worst, it really wasn’t that bad. It was nice to have crab again, and though abundant, the meat was pretty tasteless for some reason. Not how I remembered it. No real repercussions, it did hurt my stomach a little since it was pretty rich and I hadn’t had seafood in. .five years? Something like that.

SO, after dinner, we were so close to Pleasure Island, everyone decided to go for a drink. Now remember, this is around 18 people. We head to an Irish bar where I get a crappy Guinness that tasted like it was the bottom of the keg. Amy and everyone caught up more, and took some strange pictures of people groping other people.. I think they were pretty much on their way buzzing already. I know Mom was. After realizing the true Irish do not reside in Disneyworld, we left the bar and walked over to the Beach Club themed bar. I got suckered into dancing with pretty much every damn girl that was there since no other guy would. They got drinks, danced, smoked, AND took Jello shots. Yeah. And according to them, or what they remember, anyway, it tasted like they made it with pure grain alcohol and just a little bit of sugar/flavor. They were that strong.

Considering everyone had to be at a wedding the next day, we didn’t stay that long, and around 1:30 we left. I hadn’t drank much at all that night, so.. I drove. I drove five drunk-ass giggly, crude girls around Disneyworld to different hotels. They talked, listened to music, drunk-dialed people on their phone – only to find out the people they dialed were drunk as shit too. We dropped Amy off and headed to our lowest-of-the-low-on-the-bus-line hotel (don’t get me wrong, it was fine, but years of staying at the Grand Floridian have probably spoiled me for Disneyworld). They check in, we drag our shit into the room and go to sleep. That was Friday.

Saturday, I wake up late and find everyone already busy doing their hair or whatever it is they do. I take a shower, pull on a shirt and pants, tada. I’m done. PS, I would punch someone in the face for a cigarette right now. What the fuck happened to smoking flights? They’re having their wedding at the Swan hotel, so we climb back into the rental car and go. They apparently can’t have the wedding outside for some reason like Amy wanted, but so they put her at the end of a corridor in the conference center. It sounds like shit but it was okay. It was a little strange to realize later that you could see them getting married in front and if you look to the left, the Tower of Terror was looming just past the trees. SO! Everyone’s married, happy, blah blah, let’s drink. We do, people dance, the staff seemed to have an affinity for stealing your half-eaten plates and half-drunk drinks, forcing you to go get another (not that it mattered, I suppose, considering it was free). The party ends around four thirty, and we all split to go change. We head to Downtown Disney for dinner and shopping – both of which blew. Wolfgang Puck’s restaurant can suck a dick, pizza is pizza, and has the same basic ingredients, don’t call it pizza and make it something else. The shopping was all of ten stores, ludicrously overpriced shit you certainly didn’t need, and every gift shop was the same. Picture frames, keychains, pins.. oh Jesus, the pins. PINS EVERYWHERE. So, sickened by the dinner and bored of the rest, we head to the Boardwalk to go to this dueling pianos bar. Here’s where it starts getting interesting.

Now, we get there early. About.. 9pm, and they can’t seat all 18 of us. We were the first ones there, (we sat Mom, Katy, Gwyn, myself, and Mandy – in that order) so we go in and just sit on a row of about 8 stools, holding the rest for who we can. It turns out that it wasn’t too bad standing around, the pianists made it interesting, but every now and then I’d look to my right and see Mandy staring at me and the rest of us. I’d wonder about that, then go back to the show. The older crowd decided they wanted to turn in early (except Mom) and headed out, leaving us and Chris, Amy, and Chris’ friend. And Mandy. Not singing, not smiling. Clutching her bag like someone in this place is going to steal it out from under her. Not even under her, FROM her. Staring at us. We continue to have a good time, watching this fat woman jiggle everything that jiggled whenever she heard a song she liked, and a flamingly gay dude slapping just-as-big women on the ass while he Riverdanced.

And she kept staring. She asked me if there was a bus that ran from the Boardwalk to our hotel. I told her probably not, she’d have to grab one from the hotel to an attraction, then the attraction to our hotel. Or take a taxi for seven bucks. She sort of shrugged and went back to not having fun. At one point, she went up to Mom, grabbed her wrist and turned it round looking for the watch face. Looking at it, she asked if we had any intentions of leaving soon. Mom said she didn’t know, and Mandy once again wandered off to not have fun. She didn’t drink, she didn’t dance, she didn’t sing, just.. sat there. Gwyn had requested Bohemian Rhapsody and was at the bar when they started to play it. I didn’t want her to miss it, so I grabbed her camera and started recording video. I couldn’t get a good view from my seat, so I get up and walk to the right a bit, and ask Mandy to sit in my seat til it was done. Gwyn comes back and I still record, til the bouncer dude tells me I can’t. Pictures ok, video not. Whatever. I sit in Mandy’s seat ‘cos I didn’t want her to feel like I was forcing her back out and as soon as I looked over, she had perked right the fuck up. She got what she wanted, to sit and talk with whoever *I* was sitting and talking with. At least that’s what it felt like.

Honestly, I think something’s wrong with her. She may be manic. Her highs were normal, and her lows were “I don’t want to be near anything fun ever.” So finally at around 1:30am (we weren’t about to be forced away from OUR good time just ‘cos she didn’t wanna go home early) we decide to head out, and Katy stays behind to sleep over at Amy’s and Chris’. I could give another reason why Mandy might have been no fun that night but I’ll leave it out. Not that I think she’d read this, just.. courtesy. On the way back to the car, we see this guy in front of the main entrance, face down in the flowers. Just.. lying there, happy to be there, his wife/girlfriend/friend standing over him. We take pictures and head on our way.

On Sunday, we decide between Universal and Epcot, and Epcot wins. We ask Mandy if she wants to go, she says no in a way that she’d rather shove a screwdriver in her ear than go with us. We later find out she spent the whole day in the room. We start out wandering around the countries (the goddamn Starship Earth ride into the big ball was closed. I was pissed and so was everyone else.) and end up in Japan, where we spent most of our time. We ate lunch at a nice restaurant there, wandered around the shop where they had “Pick your own pearl” things, pay 14 bucks, pick an oyster, each guaranteed to have a pearl in it. They’d set it in jewelry for you after. Katy did it, then Mom did, so we spent a while out there. Amy showed up and we kept going around the countries, going on the Maelstrom in Norway, ‘til we got to the Test Track ride. Gwyn and Amy opted out of it, and it ended up giving me a huge, huge headache later on. Chris showed up later, and we went shopping as it started to rain. We wandered over to the Finding Nemo ride, and Soarin’ – which made a lot of us sick too in some places, after waiting an hour to ride the thing in the first place. Having Patrick Warburton as a narrator was pretty hilarious too.

After finishing with Soarin’, we were all so starving we just ate at this nasty food court right outside, which made me even sicker (by this point I was nauseous from the rides, as well as having a pounding headache, and my body ached from head to toe from having to walk so much). It was dark, and still drizzling, so we walked back to Japan to get a good spot for the fireworks. We watched those, and headed back to the hotel. Amy and Chris invited us over to their pool, but Gwyn and Mom were tired, so Katy and I went and came back around 1:30. (For those of you saying “It was their wedding night/honeymoon!” they’ve lived together for a while now, and didn’t have a problem with it, so shut it.)

And Monday, we came back home. I wish we could have stayed longer, or in a better hotel (Mom loves the Wilderness Lodge) but it’s so damn expensive down there. It’d only be viable if you lived in a different country ‘cos their currency is so much stronger than ours. A British dude I talked with at Epcot said he was staying for two weeks. Maybe next time.

ANYWAY! Here are some pictures for your eyeballs. I took a lot on Friday, and Gwyn took more for the rest of the trip, so when she sends those to me, I’ll put ‘em up here.

at the airport before the flight

mom busied herself with the landscape down below.

gwyn, three rows back.

this is what we spend most of our time doing.

and these two were getting married.

here’s where things started getting.. a little.. weird.

this guy had a bitchin’ beard, and while walking with gwyn, i told her it would be awesome to get a picture with him. so we did. a lot of them.

mom does not remember this.

and finally, walking to the car.

and here’s a picture of the alligator that was in a lake near our hotel. katy and gwyn fed it pizza, which it didn’t have a problem with eating.

Once Gwyn sends me the pictures off of her camera, I’ll post those too. This is just Friday night, if you didn’t read all that crap up there.

two concerts, two weeks: part 2

foo fighters!

so we leave on friday around noon, haul ass to concord and hang out at concord mills (dave and busters is fucking expensive. two bucks for an arcade game? fuck that.), before heading to dad’s house, then the concert.

first of all, the opening band blew. punk sucks, sorry. the stage setup they had was less impressive than QotSA also, and the sound in the arena fucking BLEW. but maybe that’s why my ears aren’t ringing as much this time around. (though dave grohl’s screaming did more damage to my ears than the music itself did.)

i went out for a smoke and i was standing next to a cute, tall girl and her token ugly friend. i look at my watch, 7:50.

“..have time.” i look up and the cute girl is smiling at me. my brain interprets: do you have the time?

“7:50.”

“..have time,” again, still smiling. i smile back kind of awkwardly, and go back to looking at nothing and smoking. 15 seconds pass and i realize what the fuck she said:

“you have time.” as in, til the foo fighters take the stage. huhuh. she’d left since then so i didn’t get the chance to not look like a moron.

ANYWAY. i go in and wait in line (nearly pushed over, balancing on one foot by this inconsiderate fuck pushing past me to get to another line) for a beer at $5.25, then go back up to sit with joe next to the horrendously ugly woman next to me. joe stole my ticketed seat when we first sat down (his ticket was 12, mine was 11 - he claimed ‘i paid for the tickets.’ - can’t really argue with that), and the foo fighters take the stage. all.. eight of them. what the fuck? anyway.

dave grohl is a chatty bitch but that’s okay, cos at least he was funny. they played an assortment of songs (not as many early foo as i’d like, but they did play ‘i’ll stick around’ which i was apeshit for, plus pat smear was there! woo.) - they also played ’stacked actors’ which was awesome to hear.. til dave forgot the words. seriously. he walked back to the band and held his hands up trying to get them to stop, they didn’t. so he kinda shrugged, walked back to the mic and said he was just going to make shit up, one of the lines being “i’ve totally fucked up this show.” which got a laugh. they hit the chorus and he picked it back up. stacked actors is also their jam song, apparently. he wandered into the audience about 7-10 rows down from us and did a guitar competition with his lead still up on stage.

between a few songs, they introduced the band, who did some really shitty solos to show off their stuff, and the fiddle player they had did this solo that sounded like something *I* could have played on the fiddle. which isn’t saying much.

the rest of the concert was good, although unremarkable, they came back after for an encore of five songs. which in retrospect is probably just shortening the actual show so you can seem awesome about playing five more songs when most bands play one or two more. guess i’m just being picky.

anyway, want some pictures? i hate how when you zoom in on my phone, it zooms, but it also crops the fuck out of the pictures so instead of a nice zoomed 1.3mp picture, you get a nice zoomed 320×240 picture. take what you can get, i guess. more pictures when joe gets his phone’s pictures to me. some are good, some are not so good, take what i give you.

there’s even a movie! shitty as it may be, it’s the pause between when he finishes his solo everlong part and the band kicks in. open it in quicktime.

movie

alrighty. that’s enough concerts for me for a while.

joe, kelly ray, alan, and i went to norfolk, va for the queens of the stone age concert tonight. last night. whatever.

i was designated driver, so they paid for my ticket/food. alan was bombed out of his mind before we even got there, and was.. pretty obnoxious (even so far as to put ice down my shirt on the way back). but that paled in comparison to the concert. it was damn good, barring one of the opening bands that blew dicks. the second opener was awesome. howling rain or something..

after 5-6 songs, i went out for a smoke and to sit down (you see, i suffer from this problem that happens when stand and watch something for too long, my muscles hurt.. it’s uh.. what’s it called. oh. laziness.) and went back in for the last song and encore. just missed one obscure song i didn’t remember and ‘make it wit’chu’ which i kinda wished i had saw. couldn’t make it back up to the front where i was after i had gone out, so i stood in the back and had no problem seeing them. yay for small arenas, and yay for being 6′4″.

anyway, here are some pictures. the stage setup was pretty awesome.

my ears are still ringing. only bad part.

part two will be up around october 6th or 7th.

i don’t know why, but i haven’t taken pictures off of my phone since november of last year. here we go in chronological order.

october - december 2006:

driving on 264 in a bad storm.

my dad’s cat, george.

the following morning after i took care of george for the night.

we had a bad storm in november and it flooded a lot of the neighborhood.

and yes, those are people standing almost on top of a downed power line

shag went riding to the grocery store after his doctor’s visit.

and here’s why, he had a bit of an abscess on the side of his head.

went to a christmas party for mom’s school, here they’re talking and doing the electric slide.

dad and stephanie at chili’s.

i think katy told me to delete this picture. i didn’t.

check THAT out, jim’s in washington! it’s a miracle!

january - may 2007:

atari in kerosene heater heaven.

paul at a bar? i can’t remember where we were.

my cats don’t get along very well. technically atari gets along, but lindsay wants nothing to do with it.

paul and mark before paul’s trip to batam/singapore for the summer.

june - september 2007:

just another bonfire.

left to right: joe h’s fiance, joe h, leigh ann, joe, kate, alan.

dad at charleston on what little beach the resort had.

for some reason i was trying to take a picture of myself (to send to someone, i’d guess) and dad noticed, and put his hand in front of my face each time i tried to take a picture.

i was absolutely bombed that night on screwdrivers, and this was a bar that used to be a church. felt kind of sacreligious.

my eleven year old car finally hit 70,000 miles.

two movies (open in quicktime):

sept 2nd, 2006, 10:24pm

i should write, right? it’s not that i don’t have the words to write, it’s simply coming up with the motivation to describe my daily mundane bullshit activities to you after living them in all their boringness!

i went on a music scour recently. grabbed four new albums that really caught my.. ear? muse’s “black holes and revelations”, jackson and his computer band’s “smash”, spoon’s “gimme fiction”, and modest mouse’s “we were dead before the ship even sank.” of the four, i’m currently listening to muse’s new album. well, new to me. i put off ‘discovering’ muse cos i simply figured they were another british band, coldplay, oasis, wah wah wah. i was pleasantly surprised, they rock a lot harder than i thought. it’s sort of like queen mixed with depeche mode on a heavier scale.

rome is over! i haven’t watched the last episode, yes, the absolute last episode ever. HBO has this thing with killing shows off at the peak of their awesomeness. except the sopranos. someone needs to kick that shit off the air early.

played through a few games since we last spoke, neverwinter nights 2 is over, played through s.t.a.l.k.e.r. twice. well.. one and a half times (i love chernobyl and urban desolation, so this game was fantastic. explore the reactor and kill shit). once i got done with NW2, i tried out the lord of the rings online beta, and got sucked into that for a month or two. around a week before the end of the beta (which was.. two days ago, i think) i lost interest in it cos i knew my character was going to be wiped. what’s the point? open beta starts on the 30th, though, i’ll probably go back and check it out.

this weekend was busy in a slow sort of way. i edited video for hours on end. edit, convert, convert, convert, burn. rinse, repeat. it took.. a while.

there are other things in my life that need attention, but like any other good procrastinator, i put them off until it all piles up in the last minutes and freak the fuck out. it’s a wonderful life. at least the weather here is gorgeous. supposed to be in the 80’s tomorrow.

been helping (or trying to help) paul out with his relationship woes. i won’t go into detail here, but it’s been an ordeal. he actually has a blog here like mark does, but paul’s never used his, and i don’t think mark has recently either.

in the ongoing saga of dealing with my dad, he called saturday and i, busy working on mom’s videos, forgot to call him back. expecting to be blasted out of the water on sunday for it when we went over to greenville to visit, he instead was all cheery and happy, and gave me a treo 650 that he wasn’t using anymore. kinda knocked me on my ass, but whatever. stephanie was quick to get in a fight though, complaining that because he was really mad at US, that he took it out on stephanie, so she went and pouted, sulked until we left. blah blah blah. who cares. you can’t see it right now, but i’m making a jerk-off motion in the air.
