This 4th of July was probably my favorite. I went over to Tyler's house to hang out and play video games. About 30 minutes of playing games, my other friend, Mike, shows up and I challenge him to Soul Calibur 3. I beat both of them at it for awhile.

When it got darker, we decided to go use some fire worker that Tyler had. We also decided to try and destroy a crash test dummy toy with the lame fire works we had.

After grabbing the toy, fire works, and some matches, the fun really started. First we placed the toy on one of the fire works that just shoots abunch of sparks out. This pretty much melted its legs off. This was not enough for us though. We laid the toy on the ground and aimed three at it and set them all off. While they were shooting off, Mike decided to jump over them. After watching this, Tyler went to do it too, but during his jump they started going off like fire crackers and scared him alot.

Once the sparking fire works were finished we went to see what . . . Read More..

I ended up going to DCI Finals in 2002 with Elizabeth, Chris and Emily. I really liked Indianapolis. The downtown was very clean and renovated and was not thinking it would be as nice as it was. Liz and I drove seperate because we were hanging out in Valpraiso and I guess Chris and Emily drove straight from Detroit. Liz and I ate some dinner at this Bar/Restaraunt near this huge mall. There were a lot of dorky dudes walking around because there was this big gaming tournament with Magic the gathering cards or something.



Anyway, theres nothing entirely interesting about this memory. I just wanted to post one with Emily and Chris. When Liz and I got to the stadium, we ended up walking straight into the building without anyone taking our tickets (which we didnt have). So we literally could have watched it without paying the 50 bucks. But Chris had already purchased the tickets for us so I just paid him back.

ok well a little background: I was one of the biggest basketball freaks growing up in gradeschool up untill 8th grade before i picked up skating and veered from the path of 'team sports'. I lived the sport everyday. My buddy steve clark and I would own highschoolers in a game on weekends.. we did the gusmacker tournaments too. anyways starting off that career in basketbball involved me sporting these super sweet shoes. the ugliest red and white, mock of an expensive nike air jordan, knock off brand shoe from payless shoe store.. these things were huge. i was probably 4feet at the time and the shoes were not proportioned. haha anyways i always remember me thinking soo highly of these things, i pretty much though they were the shit.. well someone finally said something.. something like "nice shoes" of course in saracism.. they may have even gone deeper and asked where i got them.. dont remember.. anyways that memory has been floating around lately.. not anything . . .

One time I was at Rani's house for her graduation party. I was over there early, maybe helping get everythign set up. Then her brothers girlfriend starts her brothers car up and blazes out of the drivway to go and get some plates at the store or something. Only she wasnt looking at took out my left rear bumper and scraped it all to hell. I just had getten this car 3 or 4 months ago!

So, months and weeks later I still maybe only saw 100 bucks out of the 650 I paid to get it fixed. Maybe 6 months later I tracked them down apartment complex and after about 50 lies that the skank had given me about how she would pay me back she finally submits and pays me nothing. I was so frustrated with the fact that I could sue her . . . Read More..

I was so young when my Brother, father, my uncle Kirt and his sons Noel and Kevin would go out to rifle river every year. These were some of the most memorable summer weekends of my childhood. I basically am going to merge all of my memories combined into one post.



One of the first memories that I will never forget was the time it was raining out and all of us 4 kids were stuck inside playing old maid. We bought this cool old maid deck at a local party store and I specifically remember buying a johnny appleseed piece of gum too (I dont know why I remember that). Anyways so we were playing this game and everything was good until there was some kind of conflict. It just so happened that the Old Maid had a marking on it and everyone caught on not to take the one thats marked. We all faught about it and were at that age where you get emotional about things like that (especially if you had the old maid). This . . . Read More..
