Vegas, vegas, vegas...
wow. what a trip.
i finally started packing saturday night. finished packing around midnight. drove to my parent's house. went to bed around 12:30ish. woke up at 5:30. dad took me to meet my co-workers to catch the ride to the airport.
saturday night: 5h sleep.
airport security was a breeze. i barely fit my carry-on in the compartment. i took a few pics on the way out on the plane. the view was outstanding. btw this was the first time i've ever flown. and i was in first class :) i tried napping on the plane but i just couldn't do it.
we landed and found our way to the hard rock hotel. at that point we found out our reservations were actually at the planet hollywood... which as my boss thomas said was the best goof he's ever done. hard rock: 2+ blocks off the main strip. planet hollywood: directly on the main strip, overlooking the efiel tower and bellagio fountains. godly :)
on the elevator ride up to the room, 2 hot blonde chicks were on there already and said "are you going to the 30th floor too?" (we were going to the 37th) at which point i for some reason talked myself out of saying "is that an invitation?"
scott was pretty damn good at roulette. he made close to $100 on the wheel, while thomas blew like $140 on it :P they gambled while i walked around and took pics. the vegas strip is so fun. no open contain laws on the main strip, people hand out cards for girls, you don't really see any cops, i didn't see the first pan handler. it was nice.
monday morning i woke up at 7am est. whicih was 4am pst. and i went to bed at midnight pst. so sunday night: 4h sleep.
monday night i went to bed at like 9:30. i also woke up at 4:45. monday night: 7h sleep.
eventually we did go the big security expo as planned. haha so yes, we did do some "work". we also ate some damn good breakfasts, lunches and suppers. things like $45 ribeyes, $22 buffets, $13 mac and cheese, and i had some damn good $8 french toast :)
i got to see blue man group on tuesday night. they were badass. $126 tickets that were given to us! tuesday we hit the bed around midnight, and i woke up at like 6:30 to talk to a co-worker who called at 9:30 est. i don't remember if i went back to sleep or not. i'd say nearly 7h sleep tuesday night.
meanwhile i think thomas and scott both got nearly 10h of sleep every night. i don't know how. they could sleep in, and goto bed early. fuck that :P
we cough the plane back to ATL on wednesday (yes, it was a day shorter than i had originally said), the plane ride was a quick flight, and before i knew it, i was on familiar turf again. i was into the single digits of pictures remaining on my camera, and anxious to see my friends. none of which i did until later that week LOL.
to see pictures check out my myspace album. i'm too lazy currently to post them to here. i may later. peace :)

new tire!
i got my new tire put on my bike. it rides all smooth again :) and before i put the new tire on, i had to kill the old one :)
All the smoke :)
Damn at all the rubber on the ground :P
Sorry house!
and no, the engine didn't blow, when the tire popped, i set off the gas and it died. 1 second after the end of the video i crank it up and pulled it into the garage.

wowzers.
so far this weekend has been PERFECT :)
friday, lindsay canceled, so i didn't have the delima of both lindsay and shea showing up. phew!
friday night came. so did trey, chris, brad, michelle, and of course me and shea. we watched Knocked Up. pretty good movie.
saturday came and first thing i cleaned out the inside of my car. while cleaning out a whole garbage bag worth of trash out, i found the button on my radio that's been missing for about a year!!! that started my wonderful saturday :)
after lunch it worked out that shea was willing to help me find some work clothes. my hawaiian shirts just aren't too work friendly :( i found 3 dress shirts and 3 polo shirts that were well priced (mondays are normally tie days, so i have nice ties and shirts for mondays...) i also found a nice pair of shoes.
afterwards we went to eat at Johnny Carino's Country Italian. it was really well. i started thinking later i think that's the most expensive meal i've had in a really long time (if not ever!) but i was in good company, the food was good, and so was the service, so i say it was all worth it :)
i dropped her off and called amy e. back. i ended up going by her house and hanging out. we watched The Dead Girl. it kinda sucked. not to mention i was really tired and kept trying to fall asleep.
after i left amy's i called annie back. (these were all the phone calls i had ignored thorugout the day) i ended up talking to her a long time after i got home. i guess it was a good conversation, we seem to get along best after not seeing or talking to each other for weeks. otherwise, she started to get annoying, and quickly.
this morning me and dad are going to the Inman Farm tractor show. me and him went a number of years ago, and it was pretty cool then. there are alot of really old tractors that have been restored, and old fuel oil engines taht have sometimes been hoooked up to non-conventional machines. machines like a homemade icecream maker... lol. but they're running and you get to see them working and stuff. so right now dad should be calling any moment, he's going to meet me at my house and we'll leave from here.
this has been such an awesome weekend. and next weekend i leave for Vegas baby! WOOHOO! i'll be gone until thursday :)

James Williams
James Scott Williams
December 20, 1984 - September 10, 2007
i knew james some in elementary school, and some more in middle school. i haven't seen him since. looks like i never will.
take a guess. my assumption was driving way too fast down the twisty rd of stone lee, hit a patch of pine straw, hit a pine cone, sand, gravel, bottle, can - something - point is a small variable made him lose control of his bike, and the rest is history. it doesn't matter how much gear you wear, telephone poles don't play around.
yet another reason why i slow way down for the curves. trust me, knee scrubbing turns aren't for me - and this is just another reminder of why.

i f'ed up
not bad. i just realized i have 2 unopened (well, until a few mins ago) bags of capt'n crunch.
:D
on a sadder note, James Willaims died last night. his viewing is tomorrow 6-8 at Caldwel and Cowan. the funeral thursday. he was 22. killed while riding his motorcycle within a mile of his house. which also happened to be about a mile from my parent's house.
however, on a brighter note, things are going really well with me and shea. :) we hung out tonight. was gonna go swimming but the rain prob made everything cold, and there was that whole thunder/lightning issue. so we watched Georgia Rule. it was ok, well, it kinda sucked but had a few good parts. lol.
small problem for friday. i think shea's coming to movie night. and i think so is lindsay......... oh shit. :( what to do, what to do....
