Love the life you Live!

Things I learned this weekend…

Life, Randomness

In the order I can remember them.

1.) You can NOT make it to Staunton Virginia from Fredericksburg by 4pm if you leave at 2pm. Also you should realize this when you get to Route 20 at 2:30pm and just give up instead of driving out to Skyline drive… but it was a pretty drive.

2.) Gay men do not appreciate Han Solo related belt fashion. Apparently satchels are out this year.

3.) Some people don’t appreciate being called “Matt Mirabile’s Sister”

4.) After driving around for 8 hours you really don’t want to go out to a party, you just want to not be driving anymore.

5.) If while at a party someone hands you a drink that they’ve dubbed “Sheep Shit” just pass on it. Trust Me.

6.) There must be more…

Are you ready to stare into the face of our Criminal Ninja?

Life, Trips

And other assorted wackiness.

I spent the weekend camping with “All the Freaky People in the World“… well not all of them. Just the ones on the middle of the east coast. From New York to North Carolina the freakies gathered on a small beach like plain in Delaware to celebrate the coming fall at the phenomenon know as “Playa Del Fuego“.

And it was awesome.

This is not part of the liberal media attack. This is not part of the radical right wing agenda. This is part of the freedom of American expression. 1000 people gathering to have fun and party from Thursday to Monday… twice a year. Chocked full of fire and spirits.  I have to admit it was all very hard to take in for a couple of first timers. The date really snuck up on us and we didn’t really know much about it before hand. But that’s the way Laurel and I roll… we’re the explorers. We’re like the seal team of awesomeness, we go in first, scope the place out, and then call in the reinforcements. Next year I promise we’ll bring more to share and more people to share it with.

Also, I want to thank the guys from “Whiskey and Whores” for putting up with me on Saturday night. They know who they are!

Later!

My thoughts on Canada, America's Hat.

Life, Trips

I tried to get all my Canada jokes out before we got across the border, but I still think they’re funny dammit.

But after being there for 6 days I’m pretty sure I can’t find anything I don’t like about Canada. Just like South Park taught us they’re polite and clean and (most of them) love America… probably more than most Americans. They have socialized medicine, decriminalized Marijuana laws, low crime, and all the moose you can eat. Plus I can not say enough about poutine and ceasars. It’s pretty much how I’d like to see the USA someday.

If I could get past them spelling “Sportscenter” with an “e” on the end and second rate cable system I would move there in a heartbeat. But alas…

All hail America, Canada’s Ass.
