This is just one of many strange stories from my trip to Spain a few years ago. It was one of our (mine and Kate's) last nights in Valencia, and a group of our friends decided it would be cool to hang out on the beach all night. I think Kate and I had dinner at "home" and then we met up with everyone later at the Palau, where there was some kind of play or something going on.

We all walked to the beach, equipped with wine and speakers for Leslie's portable CD player (I remember a lot of Dave Matthews Band music that night). It was fun to talk to everyone, but the time kind of dragged on after a while as everyone started getting a little tired. To wake ourselves up, Kate, Ann and I went to a club that was a little ways down the beach. It was probably about 2 AM at that point, and we could barely even get through the door because it was so crowded (people just start going out around 1 AM and stay out until 5 or 6 AM). If it hadn't been soooo crowded, it would have been an . . . Read More..

I might need Dave and Lel's help on this one. We use to have this game for the NES back in the dizzay. I can't remember the name for the life of me but it came with this robot straight out of a 1950's sci-fi movie. The robot was hooked up to the controller somehow. I remember the robot would go through ellaborate movements just to hit the a or b button. It would drop these spinning discks onto some platform to hold the a or b button in. Once the discks stop spinning the button would be released. I can see now why there was only one game for this robot. Maybe it was ahead of its time or maybe it just sucked. Lel and Dave I need your feedback.

I am proud to say I'm writing the 300th memory on the hottest site on the web. Back in elementary I had this girlfriend. It's not like we made out or even went on dates. The extent of our relationship involved holding hands on the way in from recess. There was a group of us and we all had girlfriends that did the same thing. We made sure we were the last ones in from recess while we were holding hands, I guess we thought we were cool or something. I was pretty cool because I wore skids and cross colors(westside!).

Needless to say our relationship came to a tragic end. One day I decided to get away from the cross colors and skids in favor of a new t-shirt. The shirt read "My girlfriend or basketball?" and on the back of the tee it said"when do we play?" My girlfriend approached me and asked me if the shirt had any truth to it. I explained to her that it not only had truth to it, but it was my lifestyle. She broke up with me by having her friend give me a note.She had no . . . Read More..

Back in the day Jim Falk and I used to write books, magazines and comics together.  Nowadays he is a super sweet artist.  You can see his artwork on his myspace profile http://www.myspace.com/jimbo17x.  I scanned one of the comics that we did.  It was called "From the Dark Comics".  We were big into comic books and horror movies.  We enjoyed watching "Tales From the Crypt" together.  This comic book is so gory.  It's kind of disturbing that I did it when I was a kid.  But hey, I turned out OK and so did Jim.

I remember when Shemp was younger, I used to look forward to letting him go outside through the front door in the winter. I enjoyed tossing up snowballs into the air and having Shemp fetch them. He would always catch them like they were a treat or something even though when he bit down, the snow would dissolve in his mouth. I remember that Shemp would chase us around in the snow and get pretty rowdy. He would actually chase and attack you if you ran and provoked him. I would wear gloves though so he wouldn't bite my hand. Those were fun times when it was dark and quiet outside and you would just hear the snow falling. The other night I took Shemp out because he sounded like he was going to throw up or something. I didn't have any gloves on but I picked up some snow and tossed it. He caught it.
