Died in the heat and took some pics

Went to the pool, swam. took some pictures.

Alright. Today just was bad. This whole trip ive been able to avoid those anoying emotions that hurt and stuff and ive been happy about it. But today, they all started resurfacing. This next month, probably the next two, are going to be rough. Man. I really am scared. I dont know whats going to happen really. Its going to be crazy. So get ready for this "once emo" blog to become straight up emo again.

Day 11

Eleven days, 5 states. Its been a long vacation. 


I guess im in Phoenix right now. I like it here, but even at night. its 12:45 and its like, too hot. Its so warm that you dont feel comfortable being out there. That is when i do not approve. Tomorrow is the temple and im going to be outside in a black church shirt... Today was good. for the eleventh boring time. Here is how my day went.

Woke up and went straight to IHOP

Got on the road to Phoenix

Got in an argument about government with my brother and how he is convinced that we are headed for the worst future of our lives and if every single american doesnt start forming a revolution we will be overrun by our government and we will be living in boxes after the government bombs all of America's major cities......

Listened to music

Texted lots.

Got to Phoenix and said hi to my grandparents. My grandpa had to put his dog Happy down today. He may have loved that dog more than he loves my grandma (funny joke) (but seriously) it was 15 years old and he was just....he wasnt very happy anymore. HA! pun. But yeah he needed to die. But it was sad to not have him around at the house.

Brothers went swimming, i went to the hospital with Reagan and my Mom. It looks like a viral infection! wahoo! but she'll be fine, and so will everyone she has come in contact with over the last 3 days.

Then we ate Pizza. 

I got to play piano!

We went to Transformers 2. I liked it fine, but i dont think ill pay to see it again.

And that. is. it. ALMOST HOME!

Saw all the fish.

Stuck my hand up a freaking stink rays mouth.

Went home at 9:30

Talked to my sister.

Day 9

First full day in San Diego. I got, so much sleep. I needed it. I would not have made it through the day. Reagan wasnt feeling well so we slept in for a while. I got in a full 12 hours. ha


So today wasnt too eventful

We got up, got dressed and ready and stuff.

Watched some tv and hung out at the hotel until 3

Went to the Beach for an hour, i was not in agreement with such a short visit. I got some alright pictures though. I liked Jersey's beach more.

Then we went to dinner at this small outdoor restaurant. It was nice and dang good. I have this thing where if there is Chicken Marsala on the menu at a restaurant im not familiar with, ill order it. Just so i can compare it to the Chicken Marsala at Magleby's which is one of my all time favorite meals. ha

Thennn, we just came home and watched So You Think You Can Dance. I missed last weeks and im pissed about it. Tonights only had like 3 cool dances. Lame. But at least i didnt miss it.

Reagan has some sort of rash and shes at the hospital, so i guess ill get ready for bed and then go to it. See ya.

I DID NOT GO TO MCDONALDS TODAY!

Day 8

Longest. Day.


I really have never known a day like this to exist. Like i feel like i have not slept for like 5 days. I know that sounds like an exaggeration, but i really feel like that exactly.

Me and Brian woke up at 5 this morning (that is 2 in the morning in san diego remember)

Got to the airport at 7. We accidentally had to drive through brooklyn, but i was ok with it because i think its creepy and crazy haha.

Said goodbye to Brian. It really was pretty sad. I really do consider him one of my best friends and this last week has been one of my all time favorite weeks of my life. Thats not a joke. Such a good experience. Me and brian plan to meet up at least one more time before my mission, so its cool.

Chilled in the airport. Ok so i wasnt seriously considering upgrading to first class, but i thought id ask to see how much it would cost, the mexican lady looks at my ticket, and literally tosses it back to me and said, you cant upgrade. Freaking i laughed at her and walked away but i was weirded out. Then i was just like chillin at the terminal, and a BIRD LANDED NEXT TO ME! I really have never believed more that i was hallucinating. I was out of it.

Got on the plane, sat next to freaking russians, which was cool until the one that sat next to me had baaad BO. I could NOT sleep. I dont know why. But i just sat and watched Benjamin Button then played this FREAKING TRIVIA GAME THATS RIDICULOUS! OK! BUT LISTEN TO WHAT I LEARNED THATS HILARIOUS! Guess who invented the thermometer.....GUESSES?! ok hurry and guess..... it was Professor Allbutt HAHAHAHAHA ALLBUTT! HAHAHAHAHA BECAUSE THEY USED TO GO IN YOUR BUTT! HAHAHA oh my freak. that was probably too far. But i really would have loled if i found that out in front of people.

Landed at 11:30 in San Diego. DO YOU GET THAT! I TOOK OFF AT 8:30 AN IT WAS A 6 HOUR FLIGHT! Time stood still. I do not approve. 

Got McDonalds. Ha.

My family wasnt going to get in until 1 so i just like, had to sit by baggage claim. (IS THAT REALLY HOW BAGGAGE IS SPELT! It looks freaking weird)

Met up, got our rental cars, drove to the San Diego zoo IMMEDIATELY! So freaking hard to stay in a positive mood.

So we stayed at the zoo till six because thats when it closed. Then we went to our hotel to just kind of unload.

SAW A DRUG DEAL GO DOWN! OK this is what happened. This like, dude walked by us while we were waiting outside the Hard Rock and you could tell he was messed up on drugs from the way he walked and it was creepy. So he crosses the street to where this homeless guy is, says some stuff to him, then the HOMELESS guy hands a bunch of bills to the man, and then the man gave the homeless guy something. Then the homeless guy shoved it down his throat. So messed up.

Then we went to dinner at Hard Rock. Ordered this macarroni thing. It was good. I ate almost all of it.

Thennnnnn we checked out the hotel. Its supposed to be like super trendy and like chill and hip. It kind of is, but ive seen cooler. 

And then we watched TV with Devyn, she is my freaking favorite, and put her to bed. 

Now im watching TV with reagan looking forward to sleep. This day. Was a million years. So excited to go home on Sunday. 

Love you all to freaking death.

Day 7

Well today was my last day in Jersey. it has been a full trip. Im ready to move on with this crazy vacation, but i will miss it here. It really was one of my most favorite trips of all time. Today was simple, but fun and it was good too.


Woke up pretty late. We planned on staying up all night and leaving to the airport at 5. did not work out. So we slept in until like 12:30. 

We watched tv a bit, then head out to the Jersey Shore. I feel so freaking cool saying I chilled at the Jersey Shore haha. But yeah.

We first walked the pier. Walked around.

Rode two rides, they were alright.

Walked along the beach for like an hour, the bad weather kind of sucked, but it looked nice and wasnt too bad. 

Just kind of laid by the beach for an hour, it was dang relaxing.

Went to dinner at this Diner called Cool Beans. hahaha Hot Rod flashbacks. Karaoke was playing there and drunk people were rocking out, it was good. I ordered a hamburger, and was pleased.

Then we drove home.

Finished our song. Our "Band" is called Ink Linked hahahaha and the song we wrote is "We Both" He'res the link, ill try to post the song on my blog if i can figure it out.

www.myspace.com/inklinked

Then we set up the myspace and stuff and then got McDonalds again hahaha

It was such a dang good trip. Day 8 is going to be the longest freaking day of my life. Lets hope i survive.

Day 6

I should probably start making the titles of these a little more interesting because i dont know what would prompt people to read these if they were just one of a bunch of numbers.


Well today was dramatic. We could not decide what we were going to do. It was fathers day right, Brians dad texted him and wanted to see if he wanted to go to dinner with his wife and brother and sisters. So we were like. Ok, is New York worth it...ive been there before, like, fathers day. id feel awful, so it was just a huge dilemma. But it all worked out. This is how today went.

We woke up at 9 so we could go to church.

Church started at 10 it ended at 11:20. I felt bad for Brian, but he enjoyed it. He said it was like his church and he really didnt mind it.

We came back, and had to make the fateful decision as to how the rest of the day would play out. We decided to stay at home and go to the mall and go to dinner for Fathers Day. I was happy with the decision.

We went to the mall, i bought some stuff, it was good.

After we went to the mall we watched some Mythbuster Marathon ha.

Then we went to dinner at this french place. It was super good, i ate spinnich, and i liked it.

THEN we drove home, started working on this song we wrote. sat there and FINISHED it. Dude. its dang good. We're going to polish it up a bit tomorrow, but man. Its super good. You better be proud of me even if you dont like it once its posted on here.

We got some McDonalds to celebrate. 

I went on a small walk, came to a clearing, hundreds of fire flies and like a monster freaking like ran into the forest, for real. It was probably a deer, but it felt like a freaking monster. it was fast, and huge. Anyways, fire flies. my life needs to be on a fire fly farm.

Now we're just sitting here, watching Jackass. Good day, I'm happy with it.

Saturday, June 20, 2009

Day 5

Fireflies. My life is complete. I did this one thing on facebook like in December and one of my 25 things was that one of my biggest goals was to write a song so i could put it on Myspace. Its not done yet, but me and Brian are about half way done with a dang good song. I really think its legitimately good. But we did a cover to White Horse by Taylor Swift and its super good. Alright anyways. Here is what was done today.


Woke up from the kitchen construction people again. Wasnt too awful. It was pouring so we had already planned on today being a chill day anyways, so it worked nicely.

Brians mom offered to take us out to Lunch. Shes a way nice person and a good mom. We went to this like, Thai/French restaurant. It was surprisingly good. 

After that we came home and did the cover of White Horse.

Then we went to see Year One. It was alright. I dont think id pay to see it again. I laughed out loud a couple times though.

Then we went to this Chinese Buffet called East Star. Best chinese buffet ive ever been too. Craziest asians worked there. But i love em. My fortune said exactly this, "You will be fortunate in everything you do." Yeah. Thats right.

Then we went back home and worked on our own song. be ready to hear it guys.

Then we went to the place to see fire flies. Its down all these residential areas and then theres a small clearing that goes into the forest until you make it to this little bridge over a small creek. it was super cool. The night was so foggy and like, man i wish my camera would cooperate because it all looked amazing. I loved the weather today. It looked so good for everything. Yeah, so we each caught a fire fly and smashed it and smeared it on our arms so it could glow! i wished i could catch tons and make a lamp out of them, but not many were out. It was totally the high light of my night.

Then we got McDonalds. It was good. I was happy.

Another successful day. Dang happy.

Day 4

Four days so far. I'm adjusting to this life over here so well. I honestly love, the freaking, crap out of it here. Its like quaint, but not. The landscape. freaking i could go on walks for hours at a time. Its so green and if i didnt know where i was, id think i was in washington. Its been overcast and drizzly ever since ive been here, but i dont mind at all. 


Ok. So TODAY went like this.

Could not sleep. Brians kitchen is being re-done and they get here at like 8 or 9 and they are dang loud. So we lost sleep and were both pretty kack'd the whole day.

We got some lunch at this sandwich place. Id say its equivalent to Sensuous Sandwich. It was dang good though. 

Then we went to this place called white rock. You walk down this trail for a while (Which is an effing JUNGLE) then you get to this lookout point with this big white rock with this graffiti on it. Brian told me the story of it, apparently, the widdow of a farmer killed herself off of it because she was so upset about her husbands death in the war or something. Spoookyyyy. Then you walk down the trail more and theres a huuuge man-made water fall that you can walk out on. Took some pictures. Its awesome. So awesome.

Then we came home, finished our sandwiches, talked to brians sister, then left to the concert.

Got to the concert, waited in line to get in, listened to the most annoying girls in the world complain and talk to each other. Then got our seats. We were on the lawn, but were front row up against the fence. It worked out well because it was a better view than a lot of the seats closer.

The concert, was so good. SO good. Jack's Mannequin was first and played about 4 songs from their first CD and 3 from their newest. They even played a Something Corporate song. I was pleased indeed. The Fray.... i was soo impressed. I didnt expect them to be as amazing as they were. The dude, the singer. Dang good performer and his voice is awesome live. Performance wise, they took the cake. But Jack's still wins the more favored award.

Then we just drove home and got McDonalds. Pretty tired. Going to bed. It was, yet again, another good day.

Day 3.

Alrighty. Im falling in love with life over here. Its great because life is good, but it sucks because I'll have to leave soon, and im not looking forward to that.


So we slept in a little bit today because we stayed up late last night. But after we were ready we started working on a cover of a The Scene Aesthetic song. After we got frustrated, we started working on our own song. Brian does all the creating, I just do as he tells me haha.

Then we drove to eat, we ate at this place called Chipotle. Its kind of like Costa Vida/Cafe Rio combined. It was dang good.

Drove to Shannon's (Brians Girlfriend) graduation and watched it all go down. It wasnt too bad, we played games on our phones.

Then we went to dinner with Shannon and her mom. Appleby's. It was good. I liked it.

THEN we drove to Shannon's aunts house who had all these reaaaallllyyy "friendly" old people. They really were super nice, just kind of crazy haha, hope shannon doesnt read this ever. As we were leaving, Shannon mentioned I was from Utah and they all went crazy about it. "OH ITS SO BEAUTIFUL THERE! I USED TO GO SKIING IN BRIGHTON WHEN I WAS YOUNGER! THE LAKES! THE MOUNTAINS! OH MY GOODNESS!" Hahaha it was funny. 

Then we went to the pier/boardwalk. It was like right at sunset and it was all foggy and rainy and man it was awesome. I got some pictures, not many decent ones, but i got some good ones of shannon and brian together. It was good, AND they have these things called Fried Oreos whre they like batter oreos and defry them and put powdered sugar on them. so good.

Dropped shannon off, drove home, rocked out to music, and watched Borat. Dang  good day. so freaking good. Hope yours was good.

Day 2.

Today was scheduled to be Six Flags day. My Utah brain called it Seven Peaks day the whole day. I had a Six Flags day though. The Intercoms all over the place were telling us to have a "Six Flags Day" I think they were trying to brainwash us into replacing the words "Fun"/"Great"/"Happy" with "Six Flags" from our brains.. 


It really was dang fun. New Jersey really is such a nice place. At least where I've been in this 50 mile radius. So many trees. I love how old the whole place is its just so freaking nice and I really do love it here. I could see myself living in a state like this growing up. For all of you who dont know by now, I will not raise a family in Utah haha.

So yeah, Six Flags. Went on all the rides, all the ones worth riding at least. Kingda Ka was shut down and we were pissed because Ive seen that ride on the Travel Channel. But we went on them all, waited in line for Superman for 2. hours. we learned our lesson and bought a Flash Pass. After that we didnt wait in a line for more than 15 minutes.

Brian set a goal for us. Talk to at least one girl each by the end of the day. Every single decent looking girl was either with a guy already, or with her parents. No luck. Brian got frustrated, but is determined to redeem himself at the beach this week. Hahaha Brians a dang good kid for all of you out there wondering. He's not a sexual predator, and hes not middle aged. Who knew?

As of right now, brians sitting on his bed playing guitar and im laying on a couch writing this. We're going to write, WRITE (He'll be doing the writing) a song, but we are also going to do a cover to a The Scene Aesthetic song. Im pumped, you all should be too, because im posting it.

Have a Six Flags day.

Day 1

Alright. The day happened. And it happened in the following order.


I woke up at 6. it was a difficult thing but i lived.

Drove to Airport.

Waited.

Got on plane. OLD PEOPLE STOLE MY WINDOW SEAT! But they were kind to me, so i permitted it. 

Met up with Brian. Hes a real human being and hes freaking cool

Went to eat food

Went to Hangover. Dang funny.

Going to sleep.

Im doing well, everything's going good.

Im off.

Well im at my parents house right now writing this blog. I have to leave to the airport at 6:30 in the morning. Waking up at 6. I dont know what the freaking deal was with today. I just was so stressed about having everything. The dumb part is, if you have clothes. you pretty much have everything. But no. thats the tip of the iceberg when it comes to freaking me

Shall i name all of my freaking toiletries? :
Toothbrush
Toothpaste
Floss
Hair crap
Natures Cure Cream
Natures Cure Pills
Electrical Shaver
Tongue Cleaner...yeah
Ear Cleaners
Face Soap
Lotion
Shampoo
Deoderant
Certain Dry
Cologne
Retainer
Hair Straigtner
Blow Dryer

........... yeah.......

So i have all of that. Then i had to make sure i packed my best shirts. I have to look good while im over there. I brought 5 pants. Church clothes. And warm attire. Cameras, all my electronic stuff. man im weird.

Man im just so damn anxious! I dont know why! Ive wanted to get out of Utah and experience the real world in Jersey and now i get to. But its like, its been so built up im just. I dont know. Im more excited than nervous. Way more excited. I just need to get through with the airport and ill be in good shape i think. Im not nervous about meeting Brian, just nervous about the situation.

Well wish me luck. In 24 hours ill probably be laying awake in Brians basement trying to fall asleep, I'll probably be posting a blog, in response to this one. About how i had nothing to worry about. Why must we experience THIS part of the experience? Its never as bad as you intend in the end.
