Summer of '08

This summer was a new one, that's forsure. Made a lot of new friends, lost one or two but it's all good. I think this summer was good. I went out a lot and at the same time, bonded a lot with my family. Beginning of summer was hot, really hot. I remember June 20th/21st being the hottest. I couldn't even sleep that night cause of the heat, and the excitement of the next day (Warped Tour). Me and Paul went on our last few photographic adventures and me and Joel went farther than our previous limitations in the means of travel. We explored new towns and new places we hadn't been before. Saw a lotta cool things and the whole experience was just crazy. I made hella
new friends and that was the best. My late-night text buddies were hella helpful this summer, helping me stay awake through the heat and shiet. Towards the end of summer (or July or so) my dumbass bought hella shirts online and they came way earlier than expected, I can't wait to really wear em to school though hahah. I had a job babysitting, so I actually earned all the money I spent and at the end of the three months, I'm left with 40 dollars. Not bad huh?
The beginning of summer was one that I can't get outta my mind. Endless hot days of me and Paul walking around Union City, just looking for things to take a picture of. Then there was that incident where my Sidekick and iPod were stolen while we were calmly laying the grass. Then he got a job so I found others to hang with. Joel and I met up one day and went to hella places in the following few weeks. We even had our first jam session that ended cause of delicious cheesecakes. June 20th, I hung out with Akbar Sarah and Claire and a few others. That day was BURNING up! Me and Akbar walked to Union Landing at the end of the day and I drank HELLA (like the motherfucking camel I am hahah) That night I couldn't sleep cause of the head and of course the next day, Warped with Veronica Baby (and kinda Malka and Claire). I slept at 5 and woke up at 8 the next morning and quickly got ready. We picked her up and went to Warped, where the ticket line was HELLA long, but we got through it. We didn't even listen to any bands, just Anberlin and that was it. the rest of the day was spent walking around the area, bought some shiett and some expensive ass food. Donated money to a buddhist monk (whom then gave us this "free" book), bought lemonade that i couldn't eat (frozen.) and saw this fat hairy white guy in nothing but bootyshorts. Warped? was it worth it? 60 bucks for two tickets. A day with one of the coolest kids ever, seeing Anberlin, getting a buddhist book and such. It was worth it and MORE. After this there was a day where me and Paul and Voobzie (Veronica) hung out and got this spicy ass burrito that none of us finished hahah. That day was really fun too, but hella random. Then the next week, me and Paul broke into Voobzie's house after she said we shouldn't (we did this a couple more times in the next couple of weeks.) All these hangouts with Paul and Voobz was due to the fact that she was to move to Moraga (which she did yesterday, but then we visited her today hahah).
A few weeks after we I met up with Lizzi and watched the dark knight. good movie and seeing Lizzi again after hella long was cool. The rest of the year was random hangouts and today, the 2nd to last day of summer (or the last REAL day) me and Paul took bart/taxi to go see Voobz up in Moraga, a small, yet clean, town. It was worth the trip there and the fat cab driver was really cool. Though getting back was hard. We made it back really late and I still don't know how much trouble Paul's in, but he knows it was hella worth it. I accomplished a lot forsure and I hope that upcoming summers are as good as this one. I can't wait to see all of you cool kids at school again and start my sophomore year at James Logan High. More good days await. Anyways, now with only one more day of summer left, I realize how much I procrastinated on the two book reports that are due, and I'm thinking to myself and saying, FUCK THAT SHIT BITCH! I'm not aboutta do no fucking book report of fucking summer! So suck on my fucking dick! Hope all of you bitches and cool kids had as good a summer I did, see you all in a few. Keep your head up and don't stress. =]
