If you got a drunk text last night, this is why!!!

Ok, first off let me tell you about my voting fiasco. I got home from work and couldn't find my voters card so I grabbed my drivers license and water bill, got on my bicycle and rode to the voting station. I get there and they wouldn't let me vote with my info bcuz I have my old address on my DL. I called Dana and had her bring my wallet thinking I'd have something in there with my new address. I then tried to vote again and they wouldn't except anything I had. By this time I was flustered and decided to do the provisional ballot but I didn't feel right about it, esp after looking it up on my phone and talking to Jazmine. I had 30 minutes left till the polls closed so I went to unlock my bicycle and ride home to get something else and realized I had lost the bike key UGH! Poor Dana had to come back AGAIN with more bills so I could try using those. Thank GOD they worked.. what a nightmare. Luckily I have a spare bike lock key at home, there's no way in hell I'm leaving my old bike overnight somewhere.

So then we set off to watch the election at some friends houses. After Obama's victory we went to Casey's where Tom bought a round of red, blue, then white shots.. I am not responsible for any crazy texts anybody got last night, it wasn't my fault-it's TOMS!!!!

WOO HOOOOO!!!

Wez lost his finger working on his motorbike last week-ouch!

Hey Vargas... nice bike! It's nearly identical to my old bike but mine was blue and smaller.. Kinda like something between your legs.. OH SNAP!

For Janet

Jawbreaker - Kiss the Bottle

It gets loneliest at night.
Down at the liquor store.
Beneath the neon sky.
Our moonlight.
Six A.M., the floor comes alive with lice.
The pan's dried up so tight.
With hardened beans.
We're hungry.
So I lean on you sometimes.
Just to see if you're still there.
Your feet can't take the weight of one.
Much less two.
We hit concrete.

How were we born into this mess?
I know I painted you a prettier picture, baby.
But we were run out on a rail.
Fell from the wagon to the night train.

I kissed the bottle.
I should've been kissing you.
You wake up to an empty night.
With tears for two.

Cigarettes they fill the gaps.
In our empty days.
In our broken teeth.
We're jonesing.
Say mister, can you spare a dime?
Some change could make a change.
Could buy some time.
Some freedom.
Or an ear to hear my story.
It's all I've got. My fiction
beats the hell out of my truth.
A palm upturned burnt blue.
Don't call it sunburn.

You've been shaking on the job.
Just one drink ahead of your past.
There's a white light coming up.
You draw the blinds hoping it'll pass.

I kissed the bottle.
I should've been kissing you.
You wake up to an empty night.
With tears for two.

I kissed the bottle.
I should've been kissing you.
You wake up to an empty night.
With tears for two.

I kissed the bottle.
I should've been kissing you.
You wake up to an empty night.
With tears for two.

my new Impala.. yah right, I wish!!! Saw this outside the thriftstore Saturday.

Chris came by with his awesome bike and we went exploring. Isn't his tail light awesome?

There are two abandoned houses on a super high hill in our neighborhood so Janet and I went exploring. Lesson #1 -NEVER drive a stick shift truck up a super steep hill. The houses are past that teeny tiny for sale sign way up on the very top.

higher, higher, higher. The hill goes past that for sale sign in the upper left hand of the pic

and look what hap'd! Lee sorry, I nearly killed your girlfriend! I couldn't back up my truck and turn without nearly going over the ledge. I was so scared I was getting hot sweats and my nerves were going wacky. I was about to put the emergency break on, leave the truck and walk home to find somebody else to do it HAHA I had Janet get out and help lead me tho and we made it..phew. My truck was burning rubber and clutch HA! I'm NEVER driving up that hill again. Sucha girl thing.. duh..

looking down the hill

from the top of the hill you can see the whole city. I did a panoramic view.. from left to right (below)

you can barely see downtown Phoenix in the background

Look boys. An empty pool

our awesome house.

Halloween.

I didn't really have a costume since the bunny one I won on ebay turned out to be for a 3-5 yr old HA! Next time I need to double check sizes before I order. I just wore my army outfit.

Vargas as a Vaquero and Rob as the guy from Raising Arizona.

Dana took this awesome shot.

I'd be kicked out of the Army for sure.

Ryan rode the fence instead of a horse. Hee Haw

Carol

The tigger outfit was cute.

I think the guy in the green had the best outfit

Tom as the Brawny man/Mime
