well wednesday my family smushed into a car and drove up to woodstock VA for a day to see my dad’s best friend wayne who i have always called ‘uncle wayne’. i had a really great time which is rare for me these days as i’ve been rather depressed about crap.

anyway, our drive up to woodstock was pretty uneventful, we got lunch and once we got into the more northern part of VA we finally reached a 7eleven

and i got a slurpee…

oh god it has been so long since i have had one of those.. it was bliss! total bliss! we then finally made it to woodstock and stopped to call wayne, who happened to be right down the road from the gasstation we stopped at, so he escorted us to his house.

i hadn’t seen wayne since my highschool graduation in 2001 so i was very happy to see him again and accepted my bearhug with open arms. after having my internal organs crushed into jello we sat and chatted for a while on his back porch

while listening to kpig (a radio station in california) and watching his 2 awesome parrotts cookie and elvis climb around the cage.

i also got to meet frankie, wayne’s son, who the last time i saw, was a small baby. he’s 10 now and is already almost as tall as his dad (his dad is over 7ft tall!)

sadly our trip turned sad when someone called wayne to tell him that an old friend of his killed himself and was just found… it was pretty heart breaking and the rest of our time there was spent hugging wayne and wishing him well… we then departed and made the trip back home.

i hope that we can go again soon, i really like it up there.

i don’t have much else to blog about, still looking for a job, money is running thin, but thankfully my parents are being understanding now. but i hope that i can get a job because i really want to be out from under their thumb.

for now i think i am going to do some maintanance on this blog pretty soon and try to spruce it up a bit.
