And now the moment you've all been waiting for.. Hardcore Nudity!!!

Ok, so there's no live feed (duh). But at least I have some details from my trip through wonderous Utah:

7.12
Circus-circus stop.. can't be driving for 8 hours straight ya know!

7.13
Dropped off our stuff at a motel in Hurricane, Utah, and took an hour drive down to Zion National Park. Other than the 102° heat, it was frickin cool! We did the whole ghetto tour thing, but my brother and I wandered off to go exploring. Apparantly, some people get rooms in the park, and go swimming in the river. Rather ironic that we mostly saw skanky girls wading in the Virgin River (no joke!).

Then we got back on the tour and saw a sign for the Desert Swamp. We expected an actual swamp, but the entire damn swamp was smaller than I am >_< Anti-climactic off course. Sadly, by it's literal meaning, it was a swamp.

Afterwards, we went back to the motel. I played Dragon Warrior 3 on my GBC until 4AM (which is actually 3AM pacific to their mountain time). woot.

7.14
Bryce Canyon time, a moment to explore. Before we got there, we stopped off at another motel in Panguitch, Utah, to drop off our stuff and headed down to the canyon. Before we reached it though, we went through the Red Canyons, which is basically many red rocks forming a wall o_o But my brother and I found this really tall hoodoo (a tower of rocks, much like the ones you see on Looney Toons with Road Runner and Wily E. Coyote) that looked climbable. So my brother went up first and then me, and we both took pics of it. Sadly, a 4-story climb on rocks is not very safe, and realizing I had my camera with me at the time I was on top, I didn't feel like going down and giving the camera to my bro, so all the pics are on his camera and not mine T_T

Strangely, we stopped by each picture point, and realized we spent 2 hours stopping at each kodak moment, not realizing that we haven't even gone to Bryce Canyon yet. And so..

We went to Bryce Canyon. It was big. A big hole. Then took pics of said hole. Sad.

In fact, the most entertaining part was in breaking the rules and taking photographic proof of it:

-There was a sign that said "Don't Feed the Animals: $100 fine" so I took a picture of my bro feeding a squirrel in front of the sign.
-Another sign that said "Do not enter. Stay on paved path. Danger ahead." so I jumped the fence and my bro took pics of me posing with the sign
-I saw an endangered Falcon just standing on a branch, and my bro posed for the camera with a rock in his hand, ready to throw... it flew away before we took the pic.. damn.
-We both posed by a river, looking like we were contributing to nature in our own natural way, and had swimmers in the background to add to the effect. cool.

Then returned to the hotel in which they once again slept at midnight (or 11PM Pacific) and I was playing DW3 until the same time. I got to the final boss and saved it.

7.15
Onwards to Vegas for 3 days, 2 nights of fun. Nothing much really except..

I met up with these 2 guys at Excalibur playing Pump It Up, and yeah. Turns out Jason and Marc (the guys) live in LA and we could actually hook up sometime if we wanted. So we befriended eachother and talked about going down to Ra friday night. I thought it was a good idea and was ready to go. Before then though, I went to our hotel room and did the entire process once more only I beat the final boss in DW3, and turns out there is an entire new world underground for me to explore, and vanquish the evil that remains within! yay! ^____^

7.16
Danced at Ra in Luxor. Chillaxed in their room. Got fu**ed up. Called Vack back at my hotel. Got fu**ed up even more during conversation. Talked about {insert important conversation that I can't remember HERE}. Left to go back with the group. Gave Jason $50 to bet on Roulette for me. Said no and offered him $50 for something else. Said I was inebriated, but in a more forceful manner in which he helped em back to my room. Went in and cried myself to sleep (can't remember why, see important conversation.. I think o_o). Glad they didn't smell my breath.

That's about it. Anymore wanted to know, just ask. What a fun week!! ^______^ Too bad I'll be gone in just 14 days.. I'll miss you guys! Oh yeah, I think I'm inebriated still.. but I can't tell.
