hahaha funny stuff

Love these pictures.

Everglades

ahhhh! I really don't have the time to be doing this, considering I'm moving tomorrow and still have a crap load to pack. But oh well, I need a break.

So last weekend me and my documentary group went to the Everglades to film our documentary about non-indigenous species and the problems they cause in the Everglades. There are quite a few Burmese Pythons living in the Everglades, and they obviously don't belong there. They originate in Asia, and I was told they are the second largest snake next to the Anaconda. They can grow past 20 ft long! Enormous. There has been many sightings of the Pythons fighting with the Alligator, and there's even one picture of a python that ate a 6 foot Alligator, but couldn't handle it and it exploded out of its stomach ha ha! We saw a crap load of Alligators, but no wild snakes. But we did go to an animal shelter place where a guy got bit by a King Cobra and rushed to Vemon I. haha kinda crazy.

So anyways, we had some fun. We stayed in a ghetto place called the Hostel, which many people know about. I slept on a bunk bed that was way too short for me, and got about 8 hours of sleep in 2 days. Oh well! Here's some pictures from our journey.

Like 3 seconds before the King Cobra bites him!


This is basically what the Everglades looks like.... nothing too exciting.

Yet another address change...

so hopefully this is the last of address changes, or else my head will explode. I could barely remember my address back at home the other day when I was shipping off a package!

The new apartment is awesome! Much bigger, and a great view of the lake. I'll post pictures as soon as we get moved in.

Dew Tour

So I had the privilege of going to Dew Tour yesterday. What Dew Tour is- it's an extreme sport tour that includes, freestyle dirtbiking, bmx vert and dirt, skateboard park and vert. Most of the professional athletes from extreme sports compete in this tour, because it is one of the biggest events. They go to 5 different cities, and get points in each city depending on the place they get. And at the last stop (Orlando) all the points are added up, and there's a winner in each event. The winner gets a decent amount of money. I got to watch the freestyle dirtbiking final, and the skateboard park final. It was awesome seeing some of my favorite athletes growing up, performing right in front of my own eyes! During the skateboard park event, they were shooting t-shirts from some t-shirt cannon thing, and if you caught one you and one other person of your choiec got VIP during the awards ceremony. This means you got to be down on the floor when the athletes walked the "green carpet" (because of Mountain Dew sponsor). Well I ended up catching a shirt, so me and my friend Dennis got VIP! I was so excited to be able to meet some of my childhood heroes. Check out the pictures.

Invisible Children

So tonight was the big night. I have been organizing this since May! I was a little bit stressed all day, just hoping people would come and support this cause. It was absolutely amazing to say the least. I organized for the new Invisible Children documentary "GO" to be shown at our school. On my way to getting things set up, I asked my roommate how many people he guessed would be there. His guess was 60. Well he had his sails set higher than me, and I said I guessed around 40. Well 6:30 hits, we have things mostly set up, and in come about 40 people. (The screening wasn't even starting for another half an hour!!!!!) So about 20 minutes before we start there were around 95 people already there. And by the time we start, over 130 people were there. I could not believe it! I was so excited.

The documentary, which was amazing, inspired a lot of people. Afterward, we had a question and answer time and people had so many questions! This was so cool. I got a list of about 30 people, and we are going to raise even more money. And I'm the Administrator over all our schools earnings. We raised about $1,100 by the end of the night. I just know that some lucky kids in Northern Uganda are now going to be able to attend school, something many of us take for granted, and this will change their life forever. We made it possible for other kids to get an education, and live a better life. That is the best feeling in the world. Tonight was great. I hung out with the 4 roadies (the people who go around showing the documentary) after it was over. They were all really really cool. They were so down to earth and really fun to talk to. Afterwards, me and Dan bought them pizza and hung out at my apartment. This is how cool these 4 are. They take 2 months out of there busy lives to go around and show this documentary to all different schools, they have to pay for their food, and the only thing that is paid for is the gas for the van. That is crazy! Talk about dedication, and passion. I'm so happy with the turnout :)
