number 40!

disclaimer. i did not actually paint that picture. as a mater of fact, i have no idea where it came from. christy!

its 6:45 and im at octane with zach conrad. we are drinking cooffee, eating grilled cheese and having smoothies. he is supposed to be working, but hes on the internet!

so. for the last two days, i was one of those talked about lunatics at ikea. it was very hot. very long. very dirty. but so fun. i got there at 12:00 noon on tuesday and finally left at 11:00 am this morning. last night we had visitors come. kyle and matt hau came with two bikes. with all of our powers combined we had two razor scooters, a skateboard, the white plastic ricking chair,a longboard, two bikes, a long strap and a little kids toy with wheels. we tried every combination to ride down the parking lot wiith. we were all a source of entertainment for the other 125 people there. there was pulling, carrying, and shoulder sitting. and last but not least, the drum line. a twelve man operation consisting of four symbol players and eight drum men, all different kinds of drums. the guys with symbols were dancing and some of it was quit provacative!

dylan heath christy daryl and rob stopped by. christy and i blessed everyone with our rendition of 'my humps'. no one seemed to think it is as cool as we do.

so at 3:45 i went to bed on the concrete on a sleeping bag with pat and nick. we had two pillows and one sheet. all sleeping together. at 5:45 we woke up and packed everything up and stood in line. while we were waiting for the countdown of three hours, we saw a swedish mens choir, an all black gospel choir wearing all white! then shirley franklin spoke of a rivalry between atlanta and savannah. did i miss something? i dont remember any gang fights on i-16. then, the log cutting ceremony, which took about 5 seconds to cut.

there were so many individuals that i hated. thhe livejournal businesscasual has some good pictures. the one of the couple with the hat is a personal favorite. when i woke up this morning, i was greeted by their smiling faces. i hated the smiling juggler. i wanted to trip him while he was kicking around. the clown on stilts was funny, she recognized pat from ga state. i hated the ikea bitch who wouldnt let pat back in his spot. we were numbers 40 and 41. in front of us was a huge group of loud black women that i hated. they also cut in line. the number two guy, dan was my favorite. his wife was so nice they are wedding photographers together. he was taking pictures of all of us on our bikes and scooters. he got our email addresses so he give us the link to his site where he will post everything. i wish i could stream the entire video of last night, but alas, i cannot.
overall, it was very fun. free moes. free ikea shit i dont want. i slept in a moes shirt with an ikea bandanna on. i got a chair i dont like, but it was al worth it. and now christy and i have an ashtray!

good day.
