And you thought I'd gone away forever

You wouldn't be so lucky...

Lots of things to catch up on I guess. Instead of doing that I'm just going to forget all that nonsense and move on. Well I'm sure I'll mention some stuff that happened, but I'm not going to itemize the whole summer for you. It's been a solid two months since the last post and even longer since I actually kept up on this. Wanna fight about? Didn't think so...

Sometimes when I want to include a picture in a blog post I'll just google image the title of the post. Here's a couple of things that came up today:







I went to the Huskies game on Saturday (GO DAWGS!!!!) and saw a rather strange thing. They had three students lined up on sidelines and during one of the commercial breaks each of these students was handed a small bear of honey. Then they were timed to see who could drink the most honey in 30 seconds. I was very disappointed when they actually started drinking the honey and not rubbing it all over themselves...

I really want to include a picture with that last blurb, but I'm not sure it's safe to google "rubbing honey on self" while I'm at work. Okay I did it anyways. No results found unless you remove the quotes and then it doesn't even make sense...

We were going to read Infinite Jest in a book club. That all kind of fell through, however I decided to keep reading. It's getting pretty confusing, but I think I'm following along. If anyone else is reading it let me know. I'm sure we could come up with some great conversation.


I'd also like to congratulate all the other winners at yesterday's chili cook off. I may not have taken Best in Show, but I'm glad to have at least been on top of my category. EAT MORE CHILI!!!!



I stole this photo from Joseph. I'm hoping he doesn't mind too much.

While I was in Hawaii (yeah, I went to Hawaii, wanna fight about it?) we got a chance to tour the Puʻu ʻŌʻō Lava Tubes (sorry can't find a link, but I assure you it exists). It's pretty exclusive. They only allow 12 people a week to see the lava tube. The entire thing is perfectly pristine, so they restrict the area to ensure it's beauty. I have to say it was unreal. The variety of formations that exist there was awesome. I've been to a good number of caves now, but I think this one takes the cake. So if any of you are going to be going out there let me know and I'll hook ya up with the details. Well worth the time. It's also so underground I wouldn't be offended if someone photo shopped hipster glasses onto my face.

International Significance

Will you blog this for me? Your blog has international significance right?
What is this about?
Did you watch it?
Yes
OK I was told that it needs no explanation

All of the Likes!

I know, I know, The Fat Kids suck. Be that as it may, they still need to get some "likes" on this video. So how about y'all give em all of the likes? ALL OF THE LIKES!!!!!!!



If nothing else it will help to get them out of the studio and out of my life. Yes, that'll do nicely.

...but these are encyclopedias

Well I was going to make this a post about my Haiku Ninja. You know the one. I've mentioned him before. He hides in the darkest depths of the internet and strikes only when the moment is ripe. He's kind of my hero.

Then I was going to make this a post about how lately it seems like there's spit in the honey, piss in the milk and the eye has turned away. However I haven't died yet, so it can't be that bad.

I've been meaning to do a post for a while about the benefits of being a responsible member of society. There are far too many residents and not enough citizens. But that's still for another time.

I've got this project I did a long time ago. I never felt like it was really worth mentioning, still isn't but I'm going to. It all appears in reverse. I think that's fitting though.

How people react to the weather says a lot about them on a much deeper level than the small talk suggests.

No picture.

I had a dream last night. Many different people were in it. If you were one of those people could you please contact me. I'd like to know what really happened.

Deja Vu

I've seen this in person before. I'm not going to name names. You now who you are.

Also, you should check out this site, internet k-hole, great stuff.

I love giraffes too

Maybe not that much though.

God Bless the 7

So I'm on the 7 coming back from lunch and this guy next to me asks if he can use my cell phone. Now I never let anyone use my phone I don't know after one time I did and dudes parole officer called me for days afterwards. So I politely say no. Now two stops later a bunch of people get on the bus. Did I mention I'm sharing a seat with this guy? I'm on the aisle side. Now these people get on, and he seems to know all of them. I don't exactly understand why, because everything was jovial, but he pulled a blade on one of his friends. He then says, "hey man, can I use your phone, this guy (puts the knife right up in my face) won't let me use his." I slightly taken back before I say, "are you threatening to knife me on the bus?" To which he replies, "oh no, I'd never." I then promptly moved to a different seat on the bus. It's something to blog about if nothing else.

"Thank God that wasn't real"

I don't know how else to say this so I'm just going to copy the chat dialog from my explaining it a moment ago:

I had the most fucked up dream last night

it all seemed so real that when I woke up I actually said out loud, "thank god that wasn't real"

Aliens had invaded

and they were snatchin' people up and destroying the place

Durango got blasted with a rocket

blown to smithereens

we kept wondering if he was really dead

or just taken somewhere else

but the explosion led us to believe he was no more, so it goes

They kept trying to abduct Wes, but we hid him in a closet

a magic closet of sorts

Then we met these guys who had this giant suitcase labeled "rations"

so we fought them for it and won

however when we opened it up it was empty

and the guys we attacked were all tied up, and they seemed to have troll faces

not real ones, but just the slight hint, you know, like that Solo pic

we all ended up in this lounge like thing

there was like 30 people there

we were all forming a resistance faction

but all the liquor was gone

except for a 1/2 gal of Rum

which you happily passed to me

and i mixed with diet dr pepper

Then I woke up.

Wes goes to Folk Life!

I could write about what all happened while we were there, but it was pretty standard. Lots of dirty hippies that aren't really hippies, more just confused teenagers grasping for any sense of counter culture that might exist. If you've ever been you know exactly what I'm talking about. We also went down to the beach by the sculpture park. Good times. 

Wes kickin' it with MNom

"Come on honey, let's go look at the birdie"

Seattle Dog

Wes made a friend!

YAAAAAY!!!!

Yuck! However, I have no idea what he put in his mouth
