Road Trip to Ohio

So with jamies wedding coming up my boy dave came up with this idea to go on a road trip. The planning was really funny took for ever for us to figure out what we wanted to do and things changed allot. I got worried the car would be to small ect. But man it was so worth it. A) when you go on a road trip you really get to bond closer with the people you do it with. I felt like this was the case for sure. Plus it was just a much needed catching up with some really good friends. I have known George and Dave for like 7 years or so and do not get to see allot of them these days. Also really great to have J-lo and Kev dog along the trip as they came up with many memorable things that were fun and funny.

The crazyiest thing was ending up at a frat party in west Virgina. Still no idea how that all happen so fast but yes mom i finally got to go to my first college frat party. it was like watching tv or something. Just way to funny.


The video shows it all :-)

Guys Night Out

Last night i got to do a guys night out for my boy Mike who is off to Yale. Not only is he off to school but also he is now engaged to a very good friend of mine Christine. I am so siked for them as they are both such dear friends of mine. I am really sad to see them move. Mike now maybe Christine later on. Christine is like my partner in crime for dance nights. Cry Cry :-( I hope we can still get our dance on but it will not be the same with out her :-( sucks living in dc and losing all of your good friends all of the time. Really sucks

Flowbots @ 930 Club

Got to see flow bots tonight. The guys that sing that song Handle bars. Very good song. The concert was really good but wish they had more songs that were as good as the handle bars song. One hit wonder? Maybe not but they need more hit songs. Either way i saw them for $15 at the 930 club so you can not beat it. Up and close for only $15 Fun times.

my own little try at singing Match Box 20 Push

Assateague Island Camping

Camping this year on Assateague was truly amazing. I was so looking forward to this year but had no idea how much i would love it. I finally decide to do a smaller trip with some friends instead of the huge trips that meetin does with 70 people plus over the years. I must say small is cool. For one thing there is no fight for a camping fire seat. Also you really get to talk to people more and just really get to know people. I think both trips hve there place. The big ones are great for meeting people and making new friends kind of what meetin does. But once you make some friends the smaller ones are really good to build your friendships. This trip was extra good because allot of the people who went are just insane crazy fun. We get wild and crazy. I love wild and crazy people. Fun to just get crazy dancing around a camp fire to an i-pod player or do a midnight swim in the ocean looking at the stars in the air. This year i got like 20 out of 23 people to swim the mid night swim. Last year 70 people went and only 7 would do it. There is something to say about small numbers you can really get more crazy and fun.

PS: yes the video does not lie. You camp on a beach with wild horse all around you. Its an amazing thing to do and i suggest doing it. If everyone gets there own food then the camping cost for 25 people on a site is like $7 each with fire wood. You can not beat the cost for how much fun it is. Do if some time if you get the chance.

Summer Re-Cap 2008

Started to play with some new video software. I really like this stuff. Anyways came up with this summer re-cap. I know the summer is not over but just was looking for some test subject to edit :-)

Embassy of Castalia - House Party

I went to this Embassy of Castalia party and let me just say I was very impressed with the turn out. I went to this same party 3 years ago and this year was such a blast. The street fill up so much that at one point thought it was a street party. lol. But it was so cool that iI ran into so many friends and people i knew. No doubt DC is one small city and once you start going to so many thing you just start running into people all of the time.

Great party thanks Paul. Hope you had enough ice for you lol that was allot of ice you bought.

A little fun video i made with video i took at the party

Water War III - This time its personal

The sun was hot and it made for a perfect day to shoot each other with water. Thanks for the extra water and really great fun spirits. I must say the dancing through the water firing squad in the video just makes me crack up every time. This was great fun but eating ice cream afterwards was also fun.

Philly Philly

So headed down to Philly again with my boy Will to close on yet another place. This puts me at 5 places in Philly and i am not looking forward to the hard work coming up next. But its all in a days work trying to do this as a business. You can not get anywhere in this life with out hard work. Anyways we headed down from dc at 5am. Way to earlier to be waking up. The place is a mess as you can see in the video. but once we get it completed we will transform it into a very nice rental property.

here is the video i shot. As you can see this place will be a new kitchen among other things. Like i said lots of hard work ahead.

Poetry and a Song

So I went to this amazing poetry event at Brooks house last week. I really love these types of thing. It was really interesting. Someone would read a poem then others would talk about how they saw that poem. This opened up to some really cool ideas and also showed me how people view poems in such different ways. Not that i did not know this already but it is interesting how people reflect very differently on the same words. Just another example of why humans are so beautiful. Anyways the amazing talented brook let me record her why she sang this amazing song. I really really like it. I am going to try to get her to record this on an mp3 at my house so she has a really good version of it.

Anyways i hope you enjoy this. I know i will when i look back at this blog years from now.

Rebeccas Pools Party

Very cool party. Anything with a pool i am so there. Nice small chil group with many jokes all night. The best part was later on in the night playing the "Inever game". We all played it with water as none of us are really big drinkers. hehe but i thing everyone was pretty honest about there answers lol. This is what i call a fun time. Thanks so much to Rebec for hosting us all at your pool.

Taste Of Washington

Just think of the "Taste Of Washington" as a wine fest for food. All of the best restaurants of the Washington DC area area all under one roof. Let just say this food was amazing. So tasty and good :-) Thanks for the invite bonnie this was off the hook.

4th of July weekend on a yacht in Annapolis

This was an amazing weekend. I got to hang out for 2 days on a million plus 3 bedroom yacht living the high life. Some highlights were eating some amazing food cooked by two lovely hosts who knew more about wine then anyone i ever met. Playing die late at night, listening to the rain come down at down with nice chill music, drive in a speed boat at 70 mpg so fast you could not even see straight and best of all hangin with some amazing people that just brought a smile to my face. Thanks for the invite Tina Jeanie and Ken for having me. This was a 4th of july weekend i will never forget.
