Back in black…well high yella
Well I’m back from my vacation as of November 3rd. So good to be back home. We went to Parker Dam, California for a month. Then Vegas for a day, followed by a horrible trip to Colorado. Colorado wasn’t bad, but the drive from Vegas to Colorado was fuckin’ horrible. The mountains, while nice, made for a gut wrenching trip. My grandpa driving at night on winding narrow roads is NOT a pleasant experience. He was taking 50MPH turns at 70-75MPH consistently, and in the process scaring the shit out of me and my mom. What’s worse, is I have this recurring nightmare that I’m in a vehicle driving high speeds on a narrow, twisting road before losing control and plummeting to our inevitable death. Luckily my nightmare didn’t become a reality…although my gramps tried his damnedest lol.
Only good part of the trip was getting to see Stomp Out Loud Live in Vegas. One of the greatest things I’ve ever experienced. Made even better with the knowledge that after January the only place you will be able to see them is in New York. So glad I got to see them. No matter how good the show, still not worth the horrible vacation…never, ever again…well maybe Comic-Con…still debating.
We also took my 96 year old Great-Grandma with us and if you’ve seen National Lampoon’s Vacation, I was sure we were gonna live it. You know the part where they pick up their grandma and she dies on them and they don’t notice cuz they think she’s sleeping. Every time she fell asleep, that popped in my mind. Funny, yet morbid lol.
Also one small cool little note about the trip. There was 4 generations of us in that van. It was like the bible and shit. Mildred Allen(great-grandma) beget John Allen(grandpa), John Allen beget Dinah Allen(mom), Dinah Allen beget Me(me). Well I’ll have more later as well as some pictures. Those with my myspace can see some of the pics there already. Well I’m out. I’ll probably have the pictures up tomorrow.
