Pheep's Platitudinous Spring Break





Hey guys, so right now I’m sitting in the airplane and I’m bored so I thought I’d write my first bk4 blog. So I know that no one cares, but I will bore you anyway with my very mediocre spring break. Last Friday night I arrived in H-town (Houston,TX for those who don’t know(I posted a map above in case you still don't know)), called my parents, and found out that they were stuck in terrible traffic and wouldn’t be there for 30 min to an hour. Well as always, they underestimated and got there 2 hours later. I was at the smaller airport in Houston, so there was absolutely nothing to do. I was hungry but there were no restaurants so I found a vending machine and bought a salami stick, and to my great pleasure got two for the price of one. As everyone knows, two sticks of meat is always better than one. (I never ate the other one and still have it from a week ago, if anyone is interested). So then I sat next to this hot girl at the café, planning to strike up a conversation so I could woo her with my awesomeness. As it turns out she was 24 and was waiting for her boyfriend to pick her up, so it didn’t work out as I planned. K well, I don’t want to bore you talking way to much in depth about what I did each day so ill just give one or two sentences for each day.

Sat: Went to the citizen cope concert. And the opening band was Gin…she actually really good, heres the link to check it out.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cGdIpcj0HJo Citizen cope was good, but a lot of their stuff sounds similar so, it got a little boring towards the end and we were standing, so it was a little tiring. My dad did by me a beer though, but I mean what can one beer do to improve a night out with your parents lol. One funny thing from the evening though was when they got freaked out by all the people smoking pot, and were like “this is ridiculous where are the cops”

Sun: watched alice and wonderland in IMAX 3D. Didn’t think it was that good.

Mon: Went shopping, bought some jeans. Yes, I know very interesting. Oh and I had this huge argument with my mom, cause she was upset that I didn’t tell her I was taking salsa lessons, and that I also didn’t tell her when I was rushing earlier this year, and that she felt that I’m hiding stuff from her, and that I didn’t want her to be part of my life, She brought out all the water works and everything….it was pretty ridiculous….Anyway, also played a round of golf, beasted it up as always. Oh and drew and Anthony, I was too lazy to bring my golf clubs J, so I can’t do my range prize. Ill make it up to you guys another way though

Tues: Went to the Houston Museum of Natural Science, with my friend, and my mom came along lol. However it was very useful having my mom there cause she’s a docent there so she got us into everything for free. They had an exhibition there on magic. Was somewhat interesting, they had a magic/salsa show at the end though that was quite entertaining. This is how the guy was dressed(the one on the right, I was thinking we could get one for all the guys that says BK44life)


Wed: I had an interview for a job with an engineering company in Houston. My parents freaked out cause I didn’t have dark pants, but I thought I looked good. I mean its hard for me not to. It went okay, I was kind of nervous so I didn’t talk much. Hopefully I’ll get it though

Thurs:Played golf at tour 18, an awesome course where each hole is modeled after a hole from a famous course somewhere else in the US.

Fri: My mom was upset cause my dad ‘stole’ me the day before and she didn’t get to spend enough time with me, even though I was with them the whole week. So, we ended up going to the museum again lol. This time we saw an IMAX called Hubble 3D, it was actually pretty good, and the 3d effects of the stars coming flying past you was really cool. Then we saw the salsa/magic show again lol, it was exactly the same as the time before.

Sat: Did physics hw all day, tons of fun. And my parents freaked out cause I left a nice sweater at my friends house, so they went to pick it up themselves 30 min away lol…And then that night I cooked an awesome pasta dish for my parents, yes I know Im such a good son.

One more story before I go. About an hour ago I was having a breakfast taco waiting for my flight to board. And this couple next me started talking to me. The woman asked me if I was a played tennis for a college(cause my tennis racquet was sticking out of my bag). And when I said no, she was like oh well you look like you would be very good.(That’s right Steve!). So anyway she continues asking me where I was going and stuff and then said that they had come to Houston to open up a new branch of their company. I politely asked what their company did, she responds saying, “have you heard about holographic energy chips.” “No”, I reply thinking that this could be interesting. “ Their special chips that you stick to your skin at different parts of your body, that balance out your electromagnetic pulses, and can improve your immune system, help you with any physical soreness or pain, and even improve your memory.””Oh shit I think, what did I get myself into.” “They end up talking to me for like 30 min, cause I’m too nice to say, “You guys are freaking lunatics and walk away.” And they offered to give me some chips for free lol, so I’m like “its okay I think I can do without the holographic energy chips”. Another product they had was a special sticker that stopped radioactive waves in your cell phone. So she shows it to me and its just a fucking sticker stuck on the back of her phone…..Here's the link if you guys are interested http://www.cieaura.com/

Anyway ya, that was my spring break.
