january.
ryan, john and I drove down to florida to watch the tampa am contest and we stayed with dso.
on the way, we hit up cafe risque where truckers get free showers, south of the border, where after the fireworks, everything is free, and JB cigars, where you can smoke in the building while doing your shopping.
in tampa i learned what happens when you pass out with your shoes on.
you get served. we played lots of beer pong and ate lots of cafeteria food.
we partied just as much as we skated and the weather was awesome. on the last night of the contests, and after plenty of dollars beers, josh beagle complemented me on my skating in the contest. (i didnt enter) - just kinda shows how drunk everyone was. i made it known that i thought everyone should have sex with a hooker at least once in their life.. ya know, just for the experience.
some kid from montana won the contest and totally hijacked the best trick contest, landing his tricks first try. he was awesome.
so we head to texas. get a flat tire somewhere near the end of florida and a guy with one leg patched it up for us. i bought a sick shirt that says "its not a milk belly, its a fuel tank for a poo poo machine"
the trip to texas was way longer than we thought. louisiana sucks. its just a long bridge over a bunch of swamp. fuck that state. plus this securit guard at this holiday inn flipped out on us when john went in to see how much a room was. he thought we were going to hold the place up and made us swear never to come back.
so we get to my dad's and did some laundry. we went to wal-mart to get some eats and there were free hot dogs and vanilla pepsi and guacamole doritos outside. john threw a couple field goals.
i bought ten cans of chili at a buck each, and a 20 pack of dr pepper for 3 bucks. john got some buffalo wings and ryan walked out wearing a new flannel. hideous.
that night we got to austin and everyone came over to martin's to say hi. ben, calvin, martin, ian, john, ryan, and i all went downtown to skate. just skated around from spot to spot, all within a few blocks of each other, just having a good time, not stressing over one trick all night. we hit up probably like ten spots in a few hours and called it a night.
the next day was a little wet so we went to the drag to do some shopping and just to check out austin. john bought a shirt at leopard lounge and i think we all got some at buffalo exchange. i made john try the fake chicken club at thundercloud and ryan got jack in the box.
kristen and her friend came down from arlington and john and ryan and them all went to sixth street and started drinking at like 9. i went to old man night at M&M skatepark with everyone else. had a couple tallboys of lone star and had a good time. martin dropped me off near 6th and i went to the ritz where i was going to meet tara. it was awesome seeing her. i am am horrible with keeping in touch, but it made me miss austin. janice came too and we made a niki's date. john was trashed. ryan and the girls went back up to arlington and ran out of gas on the way. haha. tara gave me and john a ride and he was screaming about wanting food so we went through the drive through of taco cabana, which he later named 'taco aids.' we dropped off john and i went home with tara. we got einstein's bagels the next morning and then john and i went to the green park.
friday night was the umbe party. some girl wanted to have her party at martins and martin just wanted to go to parties elsewhere. but anyway, by 11, the six or so of us that were waiting for this so called party to happen, were already trashed. i got retarded off jaegermeister and john was the kid from boston everyone was jealous of for being at the heart of the boston hardcore scene. i think i pissed on the dryer as well as myself that night.
saturday we went to lunch with janice and she brought us to the slab, where for hours, there were over twenty kids just skating and hanging out. it was pretty awesome. thought from the events of the night before and the deer blood still pumping through my veins, i was having one of my freakouts. i denounced the color pink and long hair on guys. when i got home, after going to pita pit with natasha and jen, i chopped off my girlish locks at the peak of my craziness. then we set out to party. we met at calvin's and everyone got their beer. i got a 2 liter of dr pepper and i was crazier than anyone. we wnet to the lamest party after driving around forever. and anyway we decide to turn the party awesome and moved the coffee table and out on outkast. we turned a lame party into an awesome party for five minutes. then we left. i think this was the infamous hukah night. the motherfuckers made me smoke. i hate weed. we all smoked so much weed and i had still not chilled out from my freakout so i was analyzing everything super hard. we watched a jimi hendrix video man. it was intense.
sunday we went to veggie heaven with janice and waited around for ryan. we all went to gumby's for pizza and watched some of the superbowl that was happeing in houston, our next destination.
we got in to houston pretty late and went to house of pies with joe. ryan and john didnt get much sleep that night. they slept on the floor and i slept across two chairs.
we ate lunch at chuy's and tried to go shopping but john and ryan were super tired. i wanted to skate that night and see my friend jessica most of all. but john found out his dad was not doing well.. and ryan had already had his fun with kristen, so when they said they wanted to go home, i kind of had to go along with it. i hadn;t really told many people that i was going to be in town so it was kind of my fault. then as we were leaving i had planned on stopping in norman to see ashley but it was like 4 in the morning when we did that.
after that the trip pretty much was a quiet ride. we stopped in louisville to find the park covered in ice. we ran out of money. it was getting colder as we got further north. we were not psyched on boston, but we needed to get home to get some rest.
after we got back, i cashed my paycheck and developed some film.. got a bike and got a job as a bike courier. i got hit by a car my second week and have been making around 200 a week. not fun.
ryan never was the same when we got back. john and i could tell he was finished with boston. he didn't look for a job and really didn't hang out much. he skated with phil a lot and he said he seemed fine.
i told ryan not to stay if he wasn't happy and when the date got closer to the first, ryan started talking about leaving more and i think was relieved, and ready to go back. he hung out a lot before he left which i was pschyed about, because i thought he was sick of me after the trip. but we talked alot before he left and everything is cool.
john got back and his boss gave him a $100 dollar paycheck for a week he never worked. he started back and caught up with money and started hanging out with danielle alot more. she moved in.
so march 1st, ryan moved out and i had the room to myself. and the rent. so as of april 1st, becka and shaun are taking my room. i'm going to be couch hopping starting then and will catch up on bills. hopefully get a cell phone, and start enjoying myself.
gonna put my drums at blake's and start jamming with him and phil.
kristen flew in to boston today to visit ryan and martin will be flying in wednesday. this week should be fun.
