memorial day

Well, i had myself a lovely memorial day. I wonder how many people actually thought "wow there was this civil war thing and we should really remember it somehow". Anyways, i decided not to have pictures on this post...crazy i know. Maybe if we have a party one of these days, then ill have more pictures to post. The closest we've come to a party lately has been Trivial Pursuit night, or "wedge" as we have come to call it. Not that i dont love trivial facts, i just have an amazingly terrible memory(see: Billy Ray Cyrus and his damn broken heart)....maybe i should find some irony in the fact that we were playing on memorial day. Yea, i definitely need a job. When i find myself watching old movies with carly and having time to post multiple blogs in one day, thats when i know that i need more structure in my life.

current music: frou frou
current movie: the maltese falcon
current obsession: sweatpants....yea....ive become a HUGE bum this summer!

North American Stock Car Auto Racing is an extremely interesting experience. I don't think i could do it justice with any sort of explanation, or pictures, but oh well.

Africa

I guess it will be easier to post all my africa pictures on here, so this is what I did for the first week of the summer:



































Ill add more later, but theres a preview

Boyz-2-Men

Last night, "the crew" went to speed street to see the much anticipated Boys2Men concert. Some memorable sights were:
1. crazy guy dancing in front of me
2. 7 year olds booty dancing
3. chow singing all the lyrics...
4. old white couple in front

That was fun, but I think we would all agree that standing in the middle of the road for an hour, then waiting in the parking lot for another hour was much more enjoyable. Seriously though, it was good to see everyone again. Here are some pictures i took of charlotte's bling bling uptown and the crew.



strolling down to speed street from 7th street station



Strauss and her glam shots....



Family fun...right...more like an overabundance of drunk 30 yr olds in their "best going out clothes" as ryan aptly stated. I have tight leather checkered shorts burned into my memory forever....*shudder*



buildings



eric, stephanie, jeannie, and robert!



stephen with his stylish new hair cut



chow...doing his thing



the men of the hour... Boys 2 Men!!!!



steph and strauss gettin down and dirtay

gawd the south is hilarious



Ryan and I shared cheesecake on a stick, which turned out to be really amazing



We were stuck on the 6th floor of the parking deck for about an hour...so we decided to have a mini party...Strauss and I are chillin in the sun roof area



Driesy and Jeannie caught doing...well...nothing



I was trying to capture the insanity of the cars around us, but instead sarah is just kinda there making a silly face



anthony being shy i suppose...but right after this he jumped out and did a strip tease for the whole 6th floor.....not really, but that would have been great. What really happened is that we found another exit and went home...go us
