So I've been gettin pretty stir-crazy lately and was very much in need of getting away. So I hit my friend Matty up for an assist in the escape. Who doesn't need a little aiding and abedding now and then eh? So Frid
ay I get off work, pack some crap and start heading to the beautiful city of Portland! Fast forward an hour and you find me, barely 20 miles from where I started. Gotta love the rush
hour traffic! Snore...Ok fast forward 2 more hours to find me finally entering Portland! Yay! So I meet up with Matty at his friends' apartment. There I find yet another native of Idaho Falls. Sadly Greg had the misfortune of attending the Halloween High of Idaho Falls. Hanyway so we hung out, watched some Heroes and had some wicked yummy salad that Greg made! Well then midnight rolls by and then 1am roll
s by and Matty and I start to head back to his place to crash. So what is best at this time of night!? Fast food of course! So we make a little detour to Tabo Bell! Mmmmm! So we get back to Matt's place, put on Juno, which by the way is an awesome flick, and enjoy our Taco Smell! Well Matt quickly fell asleep curled up on the floor so
I finished watching the movie alone. I think he woke up around 6am and finally went to bed. Hehe and I got the oh so comfortable couch which he said is where he usually sleeps. Of course the best part is the oh so warm and comfy blanket of his I got to use, which oh yeah I made, so by default rocks! So then I think we both woke up around 11:30am. Matt headed the library to do some homework and I headed to the Portland Art Museum. There is an awesome exhibit there currently called The Dancer, featuring the artists Degas, Forain and To
ulouse-Lautrec. All the paintings and sketchings and statues were of ballet dancers. It was amazing. I think my favorite was Degas by far though. Then I just wandered about the Portland State University grounds and took pictures that you see about. There were also a group of peoples playing music in the 
park. It was pretty sweet. There was a little girl, that was a daughter of one of the guys there, that was like 5 and had fuscia hair and kept telling me I should dance. I headed back to his place when it was getting too cold. I hung out there for a bit while Matt went out to dinner with his parentals. Then we headed back to Greg's place to chill. K well mostly I chilled and they played beer pon
g. But I got to meet Matt's current girl. She was way cute and very sweet. Well then Matty and I walked back to his place, which was very cold by the way! Where the heck is summer!?! Good crap! So then Sunday morning I think we woke up around 3pm. And Matt had a study session so I just chilled for a few hours before making my way back to lameland, aka my life. Which by the way only took 2 hours this time around. So thanks for the escape Matty!
So a few weeks ago I went over to my great Aunt Sissy's house, a.k.a. Nuna, to celebrate my cousin Billy's birthday. It was a pretty sweet deal. We had a massive amount of food goin' on which included some ever so yummy crab! Mmmm! During, which of course, a food fight broke out! Beware flying slices of hard-boiled egg! It will get stuck in your beard Billy and paint it a lovely shade of yellow! Then it was time for Billy to blow out his candles. Yipee! Of course a party isn't a party without some good tunes! So through out the night we could all be found downstairs playing on all of Billy's 
equipment which includes an electronic drum kit, 2 keyboards, a bass, a 1968 Gibson SG and his newest purchase, a 2003-04 Fender Stratocaster. So we had Billy and his son Will on the electric and bass, Maggie's fiance Joel on the drums, and I was adding the smooth sounds of the keyboards...er something. I also dinked around on the drums a bit too. And at one point I pretended I kn
ew what I was doing with the bass. When realistically Will was just telling me what strings to strum while he layed down a track on the 
guitar. Then when the night was getting on, the old people, a.k.a Billy, decided they needed to go to bed. And since my car was being awesome and my headlights were outta commission, which only took $350 to replace the part and now they work again...grrrrr...I had to abandon my car at Nuna's for the night. So I accompanied Will to yet another birthday party of his friend...yeah I dont remember his name...sorry dude. Anyway so we headed to downtown Burien to a club where the fiesta was taking place. N
eedless to say just about every one of his friends bought him a birthday drink so I think a few hours and something like 15 drinks, birthday boy was three sheets to the wind! Meanwhile a trio of peoples sitting next to us, which included as Will put it, the most beautiful girl he has every seen, decided that I looked exactly like Winona Ryder. Ok...I dont see it. Anyway, Will and I headed back to his place to crash for the night. But not before making a pit stop at the Jack in the Box drivethrough for some breakfast that, let's face it, tastes the best at 2am! But by far the best part was that I got to drive Will's fire engine red Lexus! I dont know the model but this beauty had pedal shifters on the steering wheel. So need you ask if I obeyed the speed limit? That would be a very big negatory! So thus ended the festivities when we rolled out of bed around 1pm, but of course not before we finished watching Wayne's World 2! Ex-squeeze me? Baking powder?
