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)
