Gladly my uncle Paul loves me and trusts me enough to watch over his house for the weekend. I am a respectful house sitter, hell even right now at this moment I am watching my aunt Bec's house.

Anyways, Paul didnt care whether I had friends over his house or not. So I had Clingan, his girlfriend, kshear , Stacey and myself over for a barbeque. We got plastered there and toward the end of the night kshear and I decide that we want to go outside running.... IN THE NUDE.

We get down to the bottom of his driveway and Stacy gave the on your marks and spontaneously kshear and I take off our bathing suits and book it down the street at 2 AM buck naked. He totally blew me out. I swear we have done this before with him. Kshear is the type of friend that you just do some crazy things around because his personality rubs off on you.

A few weeks pass and Paul talks to me and says that his 65 year old neighbor witnessed the whole thing and was inquiring about it. Gladly Paul is not . . . Read More..

A few months ago I heard that Taproot was coming to the Detroit area at a really cheap price. Since there are some fellow rockers at my job at Chimes, I emailed them all and organized this concert. Unfortunately my buddy Andy didnt know whether the Pistons would be home that day and he had to give up his tickets.

Anyway in place of Andy, I brought my friend John as well as wrath ,my boss John and Matt's buddy Dan.

The opening bands werent that great. I think one band's name was Dirty Americans. So mostly me and my friends just bullshitted and talked. John totally stood out as an older dude, but thats because he wore slacks and a dress shirt. Come on John? Wheres your Distrurbed t-shirt?

I also saw my barber in the crowd and it was totally random because Matt was making fun of my "Jim Carey in Dumb and Dumber" hair cut.

During those two bands I freaking was downing these huge missles that contained Fosters and those totally got me toasted for Taproot.

Once on stage, I was . . . Read More..

In 2005, I went to one of the biggest Super Smash Bros Melee
tournaments in the world (MELEEFC). It was held in Indiana and
probably over 200 to 300 people attended (from all over the world.). I
think it was 70 dollars for the whole weekend, including food and all
entry fees. I drove with Mikey and the craziest thing happened to him
that day of the tournament (hisDad died that day). He chose to still
go to the tournament to try to get his mind off of it. The drive there
wasnt too bad, but once we got near the backroads that led to the
Church at which it was held rain just started pouring so hard that
there was nearly zero visibility. Eventually we got there but that had
to have been the craziest rain I have ever been in.


I was so excited when we got there, the room had like 50 or more TVs.
This was my last official tournament before I retired from playing
smash. I think I have been playing it for like 5 years or more. It is
the most addicting and fun game ever.

so i decided to head up to wolf lake again with my good buddy chad from kzoo. all ive been thinking about is throwing a frisby in waist high warm water for the past two weeks with an ice cold beverage in the other hand.... so i couldnt pass it up! well long story short just as we get on M10 (i believe) headed to wolf lake, just west of 131, we notice a van pull over smoking a little from the hood. im on the phone with and contemplainting whether we should pull over or not.. so finally we pull over and run over to the driver.. shes just getting out of the van with her daughter still strapped in the smoking-about to be ingulf in 15 foot flames, van. we look under the car and see gooey black stuff dropping from the engine bay to the ground on fire. so we immediately get them to the other side of the road to safety.. we than flag down the next group of cars pulling boats.. the one guy grabs his fire extingusiher and we try to put it out from under the car.. but it didnt phase the . . .

My grandpa decided he wanted to do some traveling while his health is stable and he decided to go out west. I asked him if I could tag along for a couple of weeks and then fly home from my friend's house in Calgary. Taking this trip is truly a once and a lifetime opportunity for me. My grandpa is the out west professional. He has been driving back and forth since the 1930's and all of his children have been out there with him. Now was my chance to take a really sweet trip with him.

We left on a Thursday and made it all the way up to just north of the Mackinac bridge on the first days drive. We were trying to make it to my cousin Jimmy's wedding in Minnepolis the following day. We ate at the big boy that night and slept in a hotel right next door. Great conversations we have had thus far.

It was a long hike across the Upper Penninsula and across Wisconsin and I did a lot of work on the home page of memorycrawler.

Once we arrived to our hotel, my parents greeted us at the . . . Read More..
