These are some of the highlights from my AZ trip.

Most Bizarre Purchase while Traveling:

"Pink Death": Pink Death is not just any ordinary toy gun that shoots little discs. It is a necessity in the wild as it can fend off bears, mountain lions, and javalina (skunk/pig/man creatures native to AZ), which were all species we ran into during our stay in Arizona. Pretty much a lifesaver. Not to mention it was pink.

Best Friends: Gremz and Fresh:

Founding members of the "dwarf galaxy" aka short peoples club. They are always looking for new members to join so if they win it would be great publicity for their group and their cause...(which is: short people are cool after all...) Also they like pottery and hippie things. All things BFFs share.


Trip Song:

At Last/Arizona (Remix)

A) because we found our true loves on the trip....each other. It only took us about a 26 hour drive and 6 nights of rugged camping to realize we were all meant for each other. B) Arizona should pretty much be the Arizona State song. Yes, it's that amazing.


Funny Story of the Trip:


"AZ Hat Trick": One of the highest point of our trip occurred one night shortly after dinner. Our group had just finished yet again another fantastic meal and was now relaxing around the dinner table talking about our day.Then out of nowhere in the distance we saw a small deer emerge on top of the mountain.Someone shouted, "Deeeer!"Our group silenced at once and looked in the direction of the pointed finger. And there it was, in front of our eyes, an innocent little creature of mother nature.It's poised body silhouetted by the setting sun.We all sighed in unison and reverted to "ohs" and "ahs."Little did we know that we were in for a treat.Literally a few seconds later, our initial contact deer hopped along and then there it was.Our second deer sighting in a row.We broke out into a hysterical cheer almost as if we were rooting for the graceful creature and congratulating it on its beauty.The deer froze, almost as if it were posing and dipped it's small head as if it were bowing in acknowledgment.What happened next can only be described as the epitome of bliss on our trip.As soon as that second deer vanished into the dry, Arizona sky, a third deer trailing the second deer jumped into the picture.Our group was blown away that we could be so lucky to witness such a hat trick.There was no way you could make out any audible cheers in the hysteria that occurred, other than a few screams and cooing calls. This was the final piece that needed to occur for our trip to bond.

anyways, maybe if i have more time in the near future i'll write posts that are longer than a few sentences.

two double o nine

so here we are.

2009.

i'll post something later reflecting back to 2008, which happened to be a long, eventful-filled year. 2008 i feel like was a year of change...in many ways. but i'll go into that later.

anyways, celebrated the entrance into the new year back down at school in Firehaus. The cover was $25 and we had to buy them in advance. Needless to say the place was sold-out and packed. Ran into a bunch of people there and couldn't think of any other people to ring in 09...well, there were a few people missing...

all the drinks were 99cents so we took advantage of that...in copious amounts. we then headed to our usual spot murphys after the midnight toast around 1am and ended the first few hours of 2009 there.

highlights of the night:

1) running into mountain CAIT and eating her food.
2) convincing everybody in the bar that "robbie kineval" was doing the stunt on tv when it was really "robbie madison" haha
3) the stunt itself. we were very captivated.
4) jaclyn saving the girl from her ex in the corner of the bar
5) silver skirt girl. she was not a skank guys.
6) jaclyn throwing beer in some kids face at murphys....hahahaha, so after marc, sarah and i turned on "miss you" this kid started grinding on jaclyn, she then got pissed and contemplated pouring her beer all over him, which she eventually succeeded in doing....what she should've done was throw it in his face when the incident happened and not waited about 20 min later and do it. the kid was drunk and confused. he then approached us and tried to start something but kenny tricked him into thinking he was just confused so the kid backed off. the kid later started walking around the whole bar looking at every blonde haired girl but could not find jaclyn....or forgot what she looked like. haha.

all in all a very good night and a very good way to start off the new year.

now i leave you with this:



enjoy.

woot 2009.
