Update
’05 –
Part 1 of Some More
Well Kids, it’s that time again, time for the update. Half the summer has gone by and many things
have happened since the last time I put some stuff up here. Keep in mind, this update will be long and
have mostly pictures…some of which are pointless and make no sense
whatsoever. Be that as it may, off we go
anyway!
Beginning – n. – a very good
place to start
We start our journey with Harbin. Harbin
is a northern city in China. It’s very nice in the summer, temperature
wise…and that’s about all it has going for it.
Harbin is a northern Chinese
city with not too many interesting things going on.
Harbin people
are good at marching…and that’s about it.
Here’s some more pictures of the locals:
Yeah, they’re funny lookin’ folk who do crazy things…like
carry watermelons on tiny motorcycles:
And wear SPARKLY gloves
But enough of weird mainlanders (for now). Lets talk about the weirdo’s on the
trip. First let us talk about the
roommate. This summer, I roomed with
good ol’ Joe Atanasio, the most
emo kid you will ever meet. Some of
Joe’s memorable quotes include “don’t make me laugh, I’m sad.” “I hate my
hands!” and of course “it was supposed to be a mimi!” He likes to listen to Reliant K because he’s
a Jew for Jesus.
This is a silly picture of my roommate and me…or a picture
of me and my silly roommate. I can never
tell:
But it isn’t just about the emo with Joe Atanasio. There were the good times with our new
Chinese friends:
Being cool on the center of the universe:
and of course the best suggestion of the trip…
Bai Di: You can walk
around for 45 minutes then get back on the bus <leaves>.
Joe: What
should we do?
Me: I
dunno. What can you do in 45 minutes?
Joe: <glint
appears in eyes> Wanna go get smashed?
The result:
7 shots and 2 beers each later, we went to get some
dinner. We were a little
inebriated. This is what our vision was like for the rest of the night:
Then of course, there was the return home where drunken
revelry ensued. This included drunkenly
singing Wonderwall…a lot:
and sadly, finding out what it looks like when pandas die:
yeah…it ain’t pretty.
Moving along however, we come to the illustrious John
Breznen…who unfortunately began teething on the trip. Here is a picture of John and what he likes
to call his “binky,” “blankey,” “fuzzy pet,” or some other such cutesy name:
Actually, I totally made that up. That’s actually just a picture of him from when
someone stuck a towel in his mouth. He’s
actually a pretty cool guy. Really, I’m
serious. He does important things. Like pointing out the dangers of the great
wall:
but I’m getting ahead of myself,
let us rewind. John Breznen is a super
guy, he helps me get out of sticky situations:
but on occasion, he’s
had to tell me a thing or two:
But we always make up afterwards:
Sometimes the making up will go overboard:
But he can do things like that cuz he’s professionally good
looking:
John and Joe are two cool guys who like to shop for cool
things like new sunglasses. I don’t like
to shop but I don’t like to be left out of pictures of cool guys with their new
cool sunglasses:
There are lots more nifty things from the mythical land of China
Stay Tuned...
