I have friends that I would love to see again.


This picture was taken in the Arizona desert on a road trip from Provo through Vegas to LA (Sorriest Chinatown and so worried I'd never see my friends again) down to SanDiego(Ted creating the longest stretch of drama ever to be inhaled) across to Phoenix by way of Mexicali(5 minutes in poverty) up through (night clubs and drivethrough liqour stores shoplifting playboys with Melanie from church), onto the Grand Canyon over a snow topped mountain where we could have died and Ted could care less because he just wanted to go back to sleep.


This is a picture taken in front of my house Stallion Circle in Greece, N.Y. As kids we caught huge ass pike in the creek, caught snakes, turtles, shot my dads pistol in the woods, picked rasberries, had chipmunks and raccoons in the front yard tree, our cat brought home rabbits and squirells. One of my best friends in the world is that kid on the far right. We played soccer or football in the backyard everyday for years. When his older brother babysat it was the best time to be alive.

This is Johnathan Stong, one of the funnest guys I'll ever know. He's like Jim Carry and Vince Vaugn all rolled up. I'll always remember frisbee golfing in PA and standing on the edge of the dock knocking eachother into the water. Yeah he was a real sport he never let me win once! I Can't wait to see you again
Caitlyn and Jeromy and I worked together at a nice little restaurant in PA after which we spent countless nights pretending that we only live once.

Jeanine and Chris were not the friends I spent the most time with as a freshman/sophomore in High School but they were definitely the friends I had the most fun with. Juan, an exchange student who lived with us, though technically he was not our exchange student, is in the middle. I fear I will never see him again and it is truly heartbreaking.

Paul- Where did you find that first picture of Eric and me? Must be from our southwest trip with Tedi in 1992 or 1993. I'm scanning a few photos this weekend to send to you. Do you have anything else from the Big 5 days?

Yes this is after an all night party in phoenix and just prior to a near fatal accident with 4 victims stranded in snow, on top of a snow covered mountain, because they thought a toyota celica with bald tires would make a fine off road vehicle.

Well I'm thrilled you put the link to my blog up but just a little disappointed you don't want to see me again....

Is that Keith behind the hair? Listen, I'm almost positive I don't like that Asian kid touching my head. I'm a freaking ninja dude! I probably killed that kid right after this picture was taken so I don't think you'll see him again.

Those swirling pictures are incredible - Bridal Veil Falls, long hair - I must get copies. Don't forget about the San Diego hotel room that we almost burned to the ground on that road trip. How did we get so old - it wasn't supposed to happen....
