so yes, it's true. i am indeed a huge asshole and completely disregarded the fact that i spent a magnificant couple of days in southampton new york with none other than carlee resh. this whole entry goes out to her.
so yea after the last day of bamboozle, me and that red headed son of a bitch prittsey headed up to southampton, new york to visit carlee. besides the rediculous amount of money to get across all the bridges, the ride to southampton was breathtaking. we were cruising on a highway that took us right underneath the brooklyn bridge. the view of the skyline was unlike anything i'd ever seen. so we arrived in southhampton around 2 in the a.m. after getting somewhat lost. we met carlee at starbucks and made our way to a fella's house by the name of grant who is one of carlee's friends from school. it was decided before we got there that staying in a gigantic house with nice soft couches was more comforting than a small dorm room. after introductions were made, carlee went back to her dorm, and the rest of us hit the sack. that sleep felt damn good. the next day, we met the rest of the members of the house and made our way into new york city, which was only a short train ride away. me, pritts, leon, alex, stephen and kim (grant's friends from missouri) all made the trip. it was good having leon with us because he really seemed to know his way around the city. first we hit up times square. the times square toys r us is seriously unlike anything i've ever seen. it was so awesome. i thought fao schwarts was impressive, but this place was incredible. next we hit up virgin records, saw the naked cowboy, then made our way to central park. we walked around central park for about an hour looking for the damn zoo. unfortunately, black leon didn't know his way around central park too well. turns out central park is a pretty big place, so we decided to look at a map rather than act like stubborn assholes who think they know their way around. we finally found the zoo and saw a lot of awesome animals including polar bears, penguins, big snakes, weird birds, and all sorts of other crazy shit. i wish i had some pics to show you guys, but i'm very poor. hopefully after a few paychecks, i'll be able to buy myself a nice one. so after a stroll around the park, we all decided that food would be a good idea. we looked around for little italy for a while, but hunger took full hold and we just decided on a small little italian place near NYU called cafe depeci's (sp.?) the food was fucking delicious and i got served. that's right. i got served. so we all left the cafe on full stomachs, and the rain was coming down pretty hard. after attempting to shop for a while, we decided that heading back was a better choice. we missed our train by about 10 min., so we were left waiting in the station for another hour til the next one came. there was supposed to be a big party at grant's but the fact that it was already 11 when we got home got rid of that idea. instead, we decided to just have a small get together. much beer pong was played, a lot of coors light was consumed, and i drank absynthe. needless to say, i was completely fucked. although it was a perfect ending to a perfect day. it was really awesome hanging out with all these new people even though i'll prolly never see em again. it was a truly great thing to wake up and meet these people for the first time only to feel like you'd known them for years when it was time for bed. i had a very similar feeling with max from wisconsin. i've met so many great people in the past couple weeks. it's been a really fun start to the summer. this update is getting pretty long and i have a whole trip to montana talk about, but i'll save that for next time. once again, i'd like to thank my more than amazing girlfriend ashlyn danielle for being with such an odd fuck like me. i often look at her and think, "what the hell is she doing with me?" it kinda makes me feel like someones playing a trick on me. like some scientist is doing an experiment on me and ashlyn is just an actress, and they want to see how i react to such perfection. i don't make any sense. goodnight neverland.
