Bout timeNow that im settled down in good o San Antonio I can recap on the past holiday break. Before I start, I might not summarize in full detail because I DID do a shit load in the past month. So prior to the last post, I spent my christmas in San Angelo with my family. However, the break in San Angelo was spend drinking every night with my honorable friends jeffrey, michael, sean, and cody. A few others but those were the ones good enough to be named. Newho, it wasn't all that great. The parties that were suppose to be "kick ass" and what not were just normal. San Angelo people think that their parties are awsome and huge when their actually very small and more like "get togethers". Christmas eve was spent drinking and eating dinner with Austin and his family. It was fun other than jeffrey being his usual immature self. Christmas was fun considering that I got guitar hero II!!! And I got a lot og other cool shit that I could actually use. And even if I didn't get anything I wanted, I could just turn my head and look at my brothers C3PO metal head and other star wars action figures. He's 22 and the guy got toys.....sorry bro. But it was a relaxing day doing nothing at all. About 11:30 christmas night, me, Austin, my brother and his friend Byrone set off for a long week in San Diego, Las Vegas, and some other small town with two gas stations and a motel. We drove 22 hours straight from San Angelo to San Diego going through New Mexico and Arizona. It wasn't too bad considering that we all took like 5 hour shifts and payed evenly for gas. It was really cool seeing the scenery change by the shifts....that was the perfectly scheduled trip in contrast for what was yet to come. When we hit San Diego, we checked into our motel 6 and spent a night in Down Town going to bars and what not. The next day was spent at the San Diego Zoo seeing exotic animals and a shit load of birds. I even got to go on a really high skyrail and scared the shit out of me. After the Zoo we set off to the game which was fucking sweet. We totally kicked the shit out of Arizona State and I lost my voice for the night. After the game we went to eat at In-N-Out for the third time. Me and Austin walked around downtown for a few hours before hitting the sack. The next day we set for Las Vegas. I thought it wasn't going to be all that great since I was only 18 and couldn't gamble, but when we got their it was totally sweet. Granted that me and Austin walked for a good 7 miles before going back to the hotel to only notice that the guy that had our key was still gambling so we went back to MGM to get it from him. Unfortunately, when we got their, he had gone back to the hotel in a cab. It took us about 44 minutes to walk to MGM and another 45 mins to get back, BUT we took a cab(which was originally going ot take us to the "titty bar"). We were kind of bummed from the exhaustion, but my brother had won 750 so it wasnt too bad. The next morning, we ate at some fawsome chinese restaurant, and set for the grand canyon, which was regretibly ominous. On the way their, we got to see hoover dam which was really cool, but by the time we got to the grand canyon it was nightfall, and they had the gates closed to go to the edge. After staying their for a few minutes we set off to New Mexico. We decided to take a "short cut" to get on the high way faster. It ended up taking us on a dirt road on the edge of a cliff for about two hours. Finally we reached rout 66. But that wasn't the end of all bad things, for we broke down on the way to Flagstaff and was forced to stay in some scary ass town that held about 200 people. The next morning we called a tower to take us to flagstaff were we got our car repaired. About 6 in the after noon we set off for San Angelo, and about 6 in the morning the next day, we arrived in Grape Creek were we all lived happily ever after. Well thats about it. I skipped a shit load but my fingers were getting tired. After a 3 hour sleep, I drove bac kto San Antonio and here I am....The End Pete "it was a fucking bug" Solis |
