this might be an apartment

Nothing exciting happens so I'll post pictures of the new apartment.

Living Room






Kitchen with fake brick


bedroom


I noticed everybody in this area likes to throw away perfectly good furniture. So far we've gotten a dresser for my room, bookshelf, sofa, television stand, 2 side tables, and I think another t.v. stand. Garbage picking can be fun.

Also, our neighbor downstairs is an alcoholic who likes to complain about everything. The other day he knocked on our door complaining about rap. Well, actually he said "That shit you call music". He also said that he could hear footsteps the night before. Sorry, we don't have segways. He knocked on the door at 10:30 a.m...he had a beer in his hand. Goodbye credibility.

If you live in VA come visit. Now.

I too, have an intern

and she takes photos so I don't have to. Thanks Danielle.

So this is where I'm living now. Middle floor.


I'll post more apartment photos tomorrow.

So Danielle and I went on a mission to find a helmet that would let me ride the ped legally in Jersey. I have awesome luck so of course the only small they had was covered in skulls. I think thats the only way for a person to look even cooler while riding a moped. Skulls. Maybe flames, but I don't know.

I bought it anyways. I needed to ride today.


Do me a favor and swerve into me if you see my cruising around.


I get my camera back from Dani and its just full of myspaces pictures. It's her first day as an intern so I won't fire her..yet.

Moving

Bye.

lost and found

Not too many people can say that they're still good friends with the same kids from 6th and 7th grade. Reunion at Grayson's pool table.

Best Friends Day

Best Friends Day 7 was this week. Met up with Brian in the morning and rode mopeds to Hadad's lake for the event. Got there, met up with Andrew and lurked around. There were a lot more people this year compared to the previous one.



Grayson eventually made it up and was even kind enough to give me one of his two tall boys. Then we played rope swing.
There was also a million foot high inflatable water slide that ate your skin if you rode down on your chest.

Andrew left


Then we played climb on Grayson's brothers car.


Ended BFD by watching Ultra Dolphins play. I had been wanting to see them live for a while.


We got back on our mopeds, rode for about 5 minutes, then Brian's ped cut off and wouldn't start running again. We were left stranded in basically the middle of nowhere. Roger was kind enough to drive forever to come pick us up.

Day4 Last Day

We all woke up fairly early and Danielle brought us to the beach. Surprisingly, Jersey beaches aren't that bad...att least cleaner than VA Beach. So now my back and the back of my legs are sunburned. Yay for just laying on the stomach.
After the beach we met up with Dani's friend Stacy and headed for Bloomfield so I could sign the lease for the apartment. My phone was still dead, but here is a photo of it that somebody else sent me a while ago.

So stoked.


After visiting the realator, we drove to Cherry Hill which is right outside of Philly to eat at Brio. Jeff knows people and gets huge discounts. We eat until we are all complaining about wanting to throw up. We drive back, almost get in a head on collision, then right as we are about to go to sleep we decide to drive back to Richmond.

Thanks to Dani and Derek for places to stay and good times.

Day3

Wake up early for Brooklyn banks attempt 2. We win this time. Discovered that the banks are located on the Manhattan side of the Brooklyn bridge, so we go catch subway over there. This time we get to travel over the bridge rather than underground.



We get to the Brooklyn banks which is a lot bigger than I imagined. I'll post more photos once the nikon is done charging.



Filmed some tricks on the banks then left on the search for food through Chinatown.


Every little restaurant we stepped in seemed to hate us. Surprise. We settled for a Vietnamese place.

Jeff


Derek


Caught the train back to Brooklyn. While walking back to Derek's place we found a hat store that does custom lettering. Jeff's reppin' us to the fullest.


Got back to Dereks, packed up, then left for Danielle's in Bayville.
Adventure part two. My phone charger broke from the flooding and my phone died so I couldn't take any more pictures, but we went to Seaside that night to lurk the boardwalk, spot Guido's, and ride go-carts. Fun night.

Day2

Wake up and everybody is stoked to go to the Brooklyn Banks. We step outside and it's thunder storming. Woo! It slows down so we walk down the street to get some breakfast and all of a sudden it starts coming down hard again. We jump in a taxi cause Derek has to pick something up for his job. The taxi driver asks us if we like Bon Jovi and before we could answer, he starts blaring it. I laughed.
By the time time Derek was done doing everything at his work, the storm had passed and it was almost dry. We took the bus to the Queens Mall to kill some time before everything was completely dry. We catch the subway back to Derek's to find that the basement we were living in flooded. While Derek cleaned that up, Jeff and I left to film some runs across the street (we're good friends like that). I'll put up a clip later.

When Derek finishes, we walk down the street to a little Mexican restaurant, eat, then go back to his place to drink on the porch a bit. Some of Derek's friends come over and I'm awkward around people I don't know so Jeff and I leave to push around the city. I hate skating in front of people, but I'm under the influence enough to not care. Jeff says I skated into a tree. I don't remember.

It was flooded down there

Day1

Woke up and picked up Jeff. Got out of Richmond at about 9am. Hit traffic everywhere. Mucho fun. Lets see, I was suppose to meet up with the realator in Bloomfield, but there was some miscommunication and she had to catch a flight..and was pissed that I was coming. So after her yelling at me for a few minutes, I gave up, and wound up getting lost, driving through Jersey City. Not sure how. I Escaped and made it to Bloomfield thinking that's where I was suppose to meet up with Derek. Call him..he's in Jersey City. Fuck. I drive another 30 mins. back to Jersey City where he's helping bring in kegs for the party. Pick him up and drive to Brooklyn.
Driving into Brooklyn was the worst traffic ever. Took these from the car.

PK and Kid are legit


PK


Finally got to Derek's place, changed, and Jeff and I wonderd around outside while Derek waited for his friend.

Down the street from where we stayed



Derek's friend comes so we finally catch the train back to Jersey City for Rich's party/beer pong tournament thing.
Small apartment + lots of people - air conditioning = too hot to have fun. I did get to see a few friends from school who I hadn't seen since first semester of last year. Jeff and I eventually left to skate around outside until Derek and his friend were ready to bounce.
