Hmmmmmmmmmmm...its been over a month since I've updated this thing...so I guess its time once again! A lot has happened since the last time, so I guess I'll put it under a good ol' lj-cut!
Lets see, where to start? Where to start...? Ummmm...I met dragonforce and 3 of the guys from slipknot at the mayhem festival. That was pretty rad. Ummmm...I went to mother fucking GERMANY! Lets update on that...
Day one: We left from LAX and had a short lay over in london. The plane ride sucked. I ended up getting sick from the food, and puked like right when we landed in london. Good times hahaha. Anywho...we get to hamburg and take a bus to the train station where were supposed to meet kylebob at like 4 or something...but his train got like SUPER delayed and didn't get there until like 10. Alex, erik and I just hung out at the train station until he got there. We bought some beer at a little store, randomly took a picture with some people we didn't know, and just made the best of it. Kylebob finally gets there...and we were supposed to take an over night train to amsterdam, but couldn't make it on account of his train being so delayed. So we get a hostel there in hamburg where we shared a room with a rad dude named Osvaldo from monteray mexico. We convinced him to have some drinks with us downstairs at the bar, which was fun as hell. That guy ruled. He went to bed cause he had to leave early in the morning, so the rest of us walked around hamburg for a bit, got some food, and then went and passed out.
Day two: So we wake up early and walk to the train station to catch an early train to amsterdam. We get to amsterdam and find our awesome HOUSEBOAT that we were staying at. We walk around for a bit, see some cool shit. Then we go to a cafe. I'm not gonna lie...it was my first time EVER smoking. I smoke with all the guys...but I feel nothing. They're all pretty toasted, so I smoked some more by myself. Still, I feel nothing. So, I decided to have a space cake...but again, nothing. Whatever. We walk around some more...I'm pretty fucking tired and ended up getting a HUGE blister on my right foot, so I decided to stay at the houseboat and rest a little and get some sleep. They come back, and erik and kylebob are done and alex wants to explore some more, so I get up and go with him. We walk around and look at shit, just exploring. We go back to the houseboat, and I was fucking beat so I crawl back into bed, and then they went and explored...
Day three: amsterdam again! We started the day with some more smoking haha. We all shower and what not and pack our shit to walk to our next hostel. We find it...and it was the shittiest little hostel. We had to climb over a bunch of suitcases and bags and shit, just to get to the stairs. Whatever. We walk around and decided to get bikes to bike around the town and country side. So we bike around for a bit, which was kinda weird for me since I hadn't ridden a bike in like 12 years, but I managed. We catch a ferry boat across the lake to the country side, which was rad. But, that blister on my foot fucking sucked and was hurting the shit outta my foot so I stopped at a skate park. The guys came back a few minutes later saying they wanted to find some windmills...but I didn't wanna go cause of my foot and shit, so I said they could go on even though it was like an hour bike ride. I sat there just enjoying the weather. I talked to a few people. Got some water. I ended up writing a song while I sat there. I don't know how long they were gone, but they said it was like 3 hours haha. Oh well. We ride back to town. Get some food. Then back to the hostel. I was again just tired and shit, so I told them to go along and I'll take a nap haha. They come back a few hours later and wanted me to join them, but I was tired and didn't wanna spend money on where they were going haha.
Day four: so, we go and return our bikes, then walk around amsterdam a bit more. We check out some kick ass stores, and get some food. Then back to the hostel to get our shit and head to the train station. We take a train to munich, which ended up being my favorite city. We get there and find our hostel...the good ol' JAEGER hostel :-D. This hostel ruled...and guess who was also randomly there...OSVALDO! You know...the dude from our hamburg hostel haha. Anywho...we all walk to the hofbrauhaus, which is this big hall like food place with music, and LOTS of people and beer. HUGE beers there, and quite delicious if I do say so myself. There was a random dude sitting by himself, so we invited him to come drink with us. He was from south africa, and rad as shit! Drink drink drink...another dude was sitting by himself, so we invite him too. His name was alex, and he was from russia. Also, rad as shit. We party it up there and meet some more random people. Good times. That place was closing, so we walk back to the hostel for more drinks. We lost alex for a bit cause he went to get food by himself, so erik and I went out to see if we could find him. We didn't get far, but we stayed outside haha. Some dude from australia came up to me and said I looked like the bassist from korn and that he had to come talk to me. His name was kevin, and he was pretty rad. Alex comes back, and kbob, alex, and erik all go to sleep. I ended up staying out and talk with kevin. He ends up buying me like 4 or more shots of jaeger...then he ends up telling people I was the bassist from korn, fieldy. I just went with it because I was kinda drunk, and people believed it. Eventually, he had EVERYONE convinced that I really was fieldy...and they all asked for pictures and shit. EVERYONE was buying me drinks. Needless to say, I was fucking TRASHED hahaha. I eventually go back to my hostel...but I forgot that to get to the rooms, you had to go downstairs. But yeah, I went upstairs haha. That door was locked and I was just confused. I go back to the lobby and tell the girl the door was locked, and she was confused but said it was a 5 euro deposit for a keycard if I wanted one, so I did. I go back upstairs and it still didn't work. At this point I had to pee and remember the door to the right was a bathroom. It was...but the toilet was blocked off. Like...the only person that could get to the toilet was like, a stick figure person. So me being drunk and REALLY having to pee...I pissed in the sink haha. So then I remembered I could get to the room from the window, so I walk out the window, down the stairs, and into the room haha. I somehow managed to drunkingly unplug someones ipod, and plug in my camera charger, take out my battery and put it in, and then pass out...
Okay that's it for now...I'll post the rest of the trip tomorrow or something. My fucking hands hurt haha. Until next time...
