san luis obispo part 2
M.A.R.D.I.G.R.A.S.
M - Meals - meals this weekend were few and far between, but the food there was all pretty good. the clam chowder at pismo beach was nuts, and so was the food at firestone grill, and some sandwich place we went to.
A - Authority - apparently there were big problems last year during mardi gras weekend, so this year, SLO compensated with about 300, at least four in between each block, police officers/riot control officers. which brings me to R...
R - Riots - there was a fairly big, yet fortunately safe riot near where chris lives, with a straight line of cops slowly moving their way forward to push us out. not before the famed little-league "down by the river" chant, and equally famed NWA "fuck the police" chant filled the air. some people were throwing bottles and shit, and the cops drew their weapons. but i just stood in front and videotaped it all.
D - Driving - roughly 600-700 miles and 9 hours of driving/riding. :(
I - Insomnia - three hours of sleep the first night and 5 the second night.
G - Gambling - todd, chris and i went to chumash casino at 1 am both nights for some poker and blackjack. friday night, chris won about 300, todd won about 40, and I lost 50. saturday night chris lost 100, todd lost about 50, and i won about 50. chris played no-limit which is why he won and lost more than todd and me, who both ended up about even.
R - Rapping - saturday night at steves, we just started rapping/freestyling/stammering in a circle over instrumentals. we passed a dictionary in a circle, opened to a random page, pointed to a word, then rapped about it. steve and rojas excelled.. and todd and chris didn't participate.
A - Accidents - could have been three accidents this weekend, but two were avoided. first, i was fucking parked outside of chris's house waiting for jason to do something, and some guys walked by and said hi to chris and stuff, and eventually backed out and straight into the back of my car. he claimed not to have seen me.. what a fucking idiot because he was talking to us a minute ago. there was no damage though. "come look at my damage." second, chris was driving on his way back from chumash at about 6 am, and we were all pretty tired and listening to usher's song "burn." i was hella paying attention to the words for some reason, and i looked at chris and he was singing along. i was staring at the dashboard concentrating, when all of a sudden the road got hella bumpy. i looked up and chris had fallen asleep and veered off the road! haha so i was like "CHRIS!" and grabbed the wheel to right us back to the road. almost death. be thankful if u like me, wish harder next time if u hate me. finally, on the way back to fremont, in some rural part of 101, a pair of headlights seemed to be coming at me from my side of the road. it only seemed like that because they were though. haha some crazy ass driver was on highway 101 going the wrong direction, making everyone in the left lane (of only two) get to the right. i hope there werent any accidents because of it.
S - SuperBowl - patriots won, which was expected, but terrell owens did surprisingly well, and donovan mcnabb did surprisingly badly. 3 of 4 for pats. impressive. no bias toward either team so i dont care.
