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.

One time my brother and I really wanted to play video games in our rooms. Specifically Dan's room because he had a little larger room. We didnt have much money for new TVs in each of our rooms, and we would always have to play games downstairs. I think we didnt like it because we would overhear the Television that my parents were watching upstairs.



So one night we both did something crazy. We ended up moving this huge wooden frame 27 inch TV upstairs while my parents were sleeping. Funny thing is, is they didnt even wake up and in the morning they kind of cracked up at what we did.



I specifically remember playing Robocop on the supernintendo that we rented from video gamer. We were super stoked about the TV!

One time for some reason I took a personal day because I had something going on. I cant even remember why, but even though at the time I was driving every day about 120 miles from Flint to Detroit, I wanted to take newsie682 out to go ice skating at Campus Martius park right in front of Compuware. It was my first time ice skating and I picked it up like a charm. I was doing 360's and skating backwards and doing tricks in no time. It was really nice goofing off with her and it was super cheap to go ice skating. I remember also goofing off with a little kid too.



That day we had planned on going to the DIA, but it was either closed or under renovation, so we went to the Science Museum anyways. There were a few really interesting exhibits but a lot of them were for kids. newsie682 liked them because most of them I would act like I normally do (immaturely) and I would mess around and play with all of them.



The coolest thing about this was that the museum has an IMAX . . . Read More..
