My London & Paris

me out side the the dam

hey boys and girls! Its been a while since i wrote here but i decided since am on the road again I may aswell start a wee blog again, Since i am in london i thought I would shed some of my light on the subject, London is very cool, a bit like new york, but lacks the magic abit, The scenery and the archutechture is amazing, Houses of parliment is actually a really nice building and the London eye is MASSIVE! The tube is a nightmare to understand and the city is a tad on the expensive side, Am glad i came to see it for my self tho, Next stop Paris!...Stay Tuned!




The End

Well iam back. Back to a world where I have to deal with stuff like banks and jobs and people and money and people and jobs and banks and stuff!
Iam glad to be back tho because now i can say i've done it.

Ive fired handguns, and even a semi-automatic mpk5 machine gun. I've drank more taquila than i can remeber! Ive eaten strange exotic foods, even carabou! i've been from the depths of the ocean to the outer reaches of space (imax) I've seen shootings! drug busts and punks shitting in the street! Hollywood celebrites! ive been up mountains to the sea and the dessert! I've been from the atlantic to the pacific. Man was i bored!
So I said I would do it and I did. Now ive got to start planning my next adventure... Stay tuned!

Vancouver week 1

Well my first 2 days in Vancouver were to be riddled with incidents:
While in Seattle dodging bullits and falling bodies, I tried to book some accomadation for Vancouver, For some goddamn reason everywhere in vancouver was fully booked and I was gona have to turn up and wing it. Which I did. Cheapest room in vancouver was ....$325.00 Oh really i think...SHIT! Find a hostel for $10 a night, turn up, the guy says:
"YOU CAN SLEEP ON THE FLOOR OR THE ROOF!"
"IS THAT A FACT" I say. Turns out he had about 4 beds available which I gratefully recieved one. What a stinking hole this place was! I slept with my clothes, hovering above the covers as not to touch the stained mattress! Then! Then! Some guy checked in to my dorm and decided to have a lie down...closely followed by HIS FUCKING BOYFRIEND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Iam lying about 5 feet away thinking "Please jesus, i've endured alot during this trip, Please dont let this happen...Not now, Not when iam so close to the end"
Jesus answeared my prayers, And not a second too soon The irish guy in the dorm burst in saying "what the fuck's going on here!" The boyfriend left and a very relieved me went to sleep. Next day I got the hell out of that whole and came to my nice new hostel! with nice beds and big t.v and doesn't smell of god knows what! I put those 2 days behind me, and Iam enjoying Vancouver, Weather is nice, Sceneary is nice, And the woman are nice. Iam going Up some big mountain tommorow, It was used in the x files. it's where Scully was taken when she was Abducted in Series 3. Anywhoooooooooooo. Iam off to get ready for my hike so.
MOSCOW!

I fell asleep in the shower today.

Well i had a a pretty good day today.
I woke up and had a shower, I love showers, It's like a hot blanket of water wrapped around your naked body. I was enjoying it so much that i was leaning against the wall with my eyes shut just letting the water bounce of me, it was the best feeling ever! Iam sure i nodded off for a second, first time i've ever done that. I finally got out the shower and got dressed, I also love the feeling of a fresh pair of socks. Anywhoo i went gift shopping and stopped off at a chinese garden, For a moment i actually thought i was in china. It was real pretty. All that wondering about was given me an appitite so i had some lunch, Had some vietnamese food, Spicy garlic pork and noodles. mmmmmmmm.Then some guy offered me Crack! Iam not a Crack ginda guy so I told him to go away. Thats like the 4th time i've been offered Crack in the past 3 months.
I then went and bought some friends and family some gifts from Vancouver, down at Gastown, cost me a pretty penny too. I then returned and watched 3 hours of everybody loves ramond, That shows funny as hell. I cooked up some pasta for dinner and started editing my pictures from travelling as iam gona make some sort of movie type thing to present my pictures in a more exciting and intresting way, As there aint nothing more boring than looking at 100000 pics of the grand canyon. I listened to the Garden State sound track while doing it and some frou frou.
Now iam gona put the cat out and get ready for bed.
Nice talking to yall!

Vancouver Week 2

Week 2 in vancouver is'nt much to crow about Iam pretty much just getting ready to go home. Went over to North Vancouver and climbed grouse grind, and it was a grind, It was as steep as hell plus there was bears and gougars running about.
I then spent some time buying gifts for family and friends I then went to see Little miss sunshine, and took some pictures of Vancouver.Soon be time to head home.

Sacremento, Portland, Seattle


Right, this is the second time i've done this blog because the first time myspace wigged out on me and i lost everything!
Anyway... I left L.A and headed for Sacramento.
Sacramento was a really nice city, but very strange. Nice biuldings and parks and stuff, but everything closes at 6pm and the place becomes a ghost town. Even the hookers and beggars clock off at 6. Until i went to Starbucks, which was the only place open to find everyone in there! it was like a masonic meeting! I spent 2 days here then headed for Portland.
Portland, was a really really nice place, with people and everything. Surrounded by mountains and forrests, and nice fountains all over the place, and a nice wee tram system. I chilled here for 3 days, going to the cinema and seeing clerks 2 amoungst some other stuff, which i wont bore you with. I then headed to Seattle wich i was kinda dreading for some reason.


Seattle, I was way wrong, for some reason i pictured seattle as a dump! I t is a stunning city, It looks like new york with the vibe of San Francisco. A good combo! My Hostel was a god damn Dump, but the rooms were okay so i didnt really care as i was out most of the time anyway. I saw the sears tower and went to the sci fi museum and the music hall of fame and done some shopping, Then My last day in the United States of America after 3 months of almost nothing... I come out the cinema, and wonder what the hell are all those sirens. As i walk down the road i see all these ambulances and police cars and shit, YIP! Some guy took a disliking to some jews and decided to go for some shooting practice! Shot 6 killed 1! JESUS CHRIST! After all this time and on my last day this! More was to follow-
A woman takes a disliking to her boyfriend and pushes him of the roof! SPLAT! I then need to walk past that! The guy lived aswell! Probelly a veggie now tho!
I Head back to wear it all began...CANADA!

Road trip part 2


While chillin in Santa monica, which is a really nice place, I met Chris, Simon, Rose, Lex, and Dan. We hung out for a few days and all got on well. So everyone decided to go on a road trip, So rather than hang out by myself i decided to join them as i had all ready done the route and could guide everyone in the right direction and save some cash at the same time. Well things got of to a hilarious start when some wee fat american kid had left a bar of chocolate in the back of the hire car, Lex's reaction was funny to say the least. F!@$%^G FAT AMERICAN C*%$S was the words he used several times. We dropped Roselie off and decided to spend the night in a place called MORRAY BAY. Lex was adament we would all be raped! This is were Simon lost his sun glasses, we ate pizza for breakfast, Stacked up on supplies and headed north for San francisco.

We Went to the rock, crossed the golden gate brigde, went on a tram, drove around getting lost because no one was listning to my directions, and done some shopping. I spent the night in the car because the hostel did'nt have any beds left for me, Then we went up and down some big arsed hills. We then headed for Vegas AGAIN! This time I decided I would spent time by the pool and let the others experiance the joys of sin city. They all got pissed No one slept until 7 in the morning and we didnt get to the grand canyon.



So i decided it would be a good idea to steal the car and go to AREA 51! This was one of my best idea's i've ever had. We got there only to see some kind of nuculear explosion, then see 4 white jeeps speed past us in a convoy! (i shat myself) Place was well creepy! And i got pics to prove it. Back to vegas were i won $180 got some well needed sleep watched escape from Alcatraz then went to bed. We eventually Got to the Grand Canyon. I promised the guys a good one and i dont think they were dissapointed. We drove back In a thunder and lighting storm which was pretty cloth touching scary! We then drove down Fremont street the wrong way towards an on comming police car So Chris decided "FUCK IT" and drove across the mid section in the road Luckily it was a 4x4 and the police were on there way to an emergency or else we were going to jail. We then went back and jumped in the pool in the middle of a lighting storm (whish i had taken physics in school). So i decided it would be a good idea to steal the car and go to AREA 51!
