Concerning Washington
Another Pre-written Entry
The trip to washington was a farce. I was glad to see my grandmother, but was disturbed to find that my entire family had gathered for the occastion. All three clans came together to form the 50 some people that came for the weekend. My sister and her husband made it a point to be the center of attention. Showing their wedding pictures off, and telling stories of all their adventures. Grandma Clara and I slipped outside to the porch swing and watched satilites go over and talked about the world, mostly the past. A lot about my Grandfather. My grandfather, as most of you should know, is the single human on this earth that I respect the most. I don't worship him, nor do Idolise him. He and I have walked different roads our entire lives, but if one day I can learn to be as good of a human as him, hell evening a fraction as good as he was. Then I feel i will have accimplished something great in this world. As such, its one of the hardest topics for me to talk about with out getting a bit emotional. I didn't cry, but my heart screamed with pain. Eventualy it got to cold for Clara and she retreated to the confines of the horde. I remained outside and thought over what had been said, and why the things had been said as the had been. It was well after the last light winked out that I made my way to my bed. The downstairs couch.
Friday conisted of us going out to Jacks. jack is an interesting Fellow, one of those guys that if he tells you the dog has wings and can fly. Its not something you doubt, even when you meet the dog, and it doesn't have wings. His word means something and he doesn't blow sunshine up no ones skirt. His little plot of land was nice, nesstled pretty high up into the mountains in Idaho, but suprisingly, had excelent roads all the way up. We just sorta hung around and talked about his business. Hes a wood worker, making cabnets and things. Its pretty neat the things he does. Eric was deffinatly acting the part of city slicker. Everyone else chimed in with jabs about it almost none stop. The funny thing is, aside from me, hes probably spent more time out of the city then that entire side of my family. Eh what ever. Jack's house was very old, and had a lot of character. Old paintings and an entire wall of Oillamps. His dog zeus is friggen huge.

And a cute picture of my Grandmother....
That night my cousin arrived and made things a bit better. While her and I deffinatly aren't the same in any respect, we have sort of an understanding of eachother. Playing cards we ganged up on the rest of the table and pretty much dominated the games. The last game we knocked out every one else so quickly that it ended up being a 1v1 battle, over every one elses coins, as we had pretty well split them down the middle. It was fun, and amusing. My sister got a bit annoyed, but that only added to our fun.
Cousin Amy
The next day (saturday) we spoke and spoke about the world. I was forced to mingle and update the family on my doings. Some members of my family know what computers are....barely. The rest how ever where completely baffled how I wasn't starving and on the street yet and reccomended I take up a new Trade...Like Business or sales. This depressed me quite a bit, and it was only lifted when I asked if I could barrow a car for a bit....they said sure, take anything I could find keys for....There on the counter i spotted the keys to my Mothers 2006 Mustang Convertable. I grab my cousin and dash out the door, drop the top and head out leaving them far Behind. Drove around for a bit till I got the idea to head to the snow on Mount Spokane...there wasn't much but I did find some slush. Drove around and got the car rather muddy and then had a snow ball fight with my cousin before returning home around dark. It was fun. A great stress reliever.

That night we went bowling. We played 4 games, I haven't bowled in years and was rather disturbed by the fact that both my sister and her husband and my aunt and her husband where in bowling leagues and went nearly every week. Figured I was in for a bad game, and so was my cousin. For some reason, fate was with us, and her and I dominated. I was utterly amused at the forth game that I started to see if I could do different spins and what not to get the ball to do weird things. Sorta like trying to get a brick to dance on a corner. Didn't work out so well and ended up in 3rd, but I had a ton of fun anyways. amusingly enough the place was called "Big Daddy's". Thats probably an inside joke >.>

The next day was the tourist trap day. We went to the apple orchard, picked apples and then to the Pumpkin patch and picked pumpkins. I say this was a tourist trap as you road a tram into the trees, got out, took 4 steps off the tram, picked a few apples and then got back on the tram, which then went to the pumpkin patch where you walked 10 ft in and found your self a pumpkin, which ammusingly enough wasn't even connected to the vine. In fact all of them had been imported and then placed in the patch. Awe well. Not my money. We did get some carmel apples which where damn good, and had a woman walk around and have people touch her cock. A bit fun, but very hoaky. But what can you do, its family time in washington.

Woman with her Cock Out, yes, some guy is petting it
Before and After. On a side note, only hardcore tourists eat the carmel apples on a stick...

Anyway we went up to Mount Spokane as a group. The wind was blowing rather decently and made it a bit chilly. My sister sat in the car most of the time we where up there. Only came out long enough to pose in a picture or two. Nothing really spectacular or anything like that.
Monday was uneventful, sorta hung out and then got on the plane and flew home. Nothing note worthy really. Only thing left out is my jaunts out on horse back. Can't remember when i did that. Another one of those, must escape humanity timings. So I saddled a horse and rode around up in the hills around the house. It was relaxing, not all that fun as the area of land is only a few acres. So its not like I was really going anywhere.
Anyway while I was there I scanned a bunch of pictures and since this post is close to halloween I thought i would post an anceint one from halloween.
Me, Grandpa, and My sister.
I would of been 6.
Included purely for the sake of my sister's hair. :D
Anyway there are a ton of pictures if you want to take a look...

In the archieve area you can see a lot of older pictures of my sister, and a few of me...I was fucking skinny as a kid. Always running around, causing trouble and what not. Insanity. I think my leg is twice as big as I was in most of those texas pictures. Anyway, interestingly enough all of my sisters pictures where easy to find, and scan. Anything with Just me in it was rather a fluke of the apparent and always mixed in with Juli's pictures. Makes me wonder what happened to all my pictures....
