the summer is leaving a few bumps

Last weekend Sarah's cousins (Chase and Chelsea) came out to Austin, we went on an 8 hr float down the Guadalupe river (mind you it was only supposed to be about 6 hrs... but the water's real low). they all 3 received major sunburns and a few bumps and bruises since the ROCKs were sticking so far out of the water.

I managed to make it out with a twisted ankle, scrapes on my back, and a slight rash from paddling the damn inner "TOOB."

Along the way Chase and I climbed a tree and jumped off a branch about 20 ft above the water. the tricky part was climbing up since i was wearing my Chucks and the only thing we had to hold on to were loose wooden pegs about 6 inches in length.

The funny thing was this 9 yr old kid was jammin up those pegs and into the water at 5 min intervels... i felt like a pussy. a very old one at that.

movin' right along, my wife and Chelsea managed to "take a nap" on the river ... while floating. Well, where i'm from we call it passing out... granted the four of us went through 3 cases of corona and PABST (fuck yeh - PABST BLUE RIBBON!) in about an hour and a half... needless to say we were really annoyed and frustrated as hell during the rest of the 6 hrs we were on the river.

Some of those randoms our there are really wierd, this dude named Joe (i think... who knows.. he said his name was sean) was a pestering fuck that wouldn't leave us alone.

it'll be a while before i do that again, i'm thinking maybe barton springs for the next few months.

anyway, i don't get very much time to blog and when i do i surf on craigslist for something kinda funny to post... but today i found this.

And I thought I'd re-post it; i have my own feelings about it just figured i'd share.

RAVE: My Life Since Getting Out of Prison

If you have the time... late night surfing the internet doing nothing i suggest you read it.

It might put a few things in perspective.

Evan's fimbling around with his Binky so I think i'd best be going... Sarah's asleep right now. She's funny. She just bought some make up from Sephora and put it on - it looks real good, but shortly afterwards she fell asleep, that was about 2 hrs ago.

i always let her sleep on the weekends since she doesn't seem to get much rest at night.

music: been listening to Dusty Springfield (playing now: You don't have to say you love me)

action: itunes - shufflin'
sound: kickin myself - as tall as lions

found myself a new job at morgan stanley, pretty good deal. Evan should like it, I can still spend some time with him and mommy... and mommy can continue to stay home for a little bit longer at least.

Dax and Jen (my cousins) are coming to Austin, fuck yeh! that's so awesome, finally someone from CA is moving out here, and better yet - It's family (they fall into the "save the drama fo yo momma " category). it'll be good, just fun times.

my mom is SOOO ready to leave cali it's amazing, they are almost here ... practically, my dad just has to transfer to another shell refinery (sp?, whatev's)

so right now things seem pretty cool, it's the july 4th - we do not know what we will be doing, but Barton Springs sounds like a good idear, w/ my new board shorts (my old ones felt more like underwear).

also, we got this thing (10-min trainer) it's pretty fabulous, feeling stronger already... but still got that belly. oh well, just started it. well Evan's is up and talking to me - so i best be leaving blogtown.

adios!
