Journal Entry #10

Batman Begins Rocks!!! Just got back from the flick a couple of minutes ago, and I amped! The movie has it all, money, cars, girls, and of course some kick-ass fight scenes, where good triumphs over evil. Makes me want to rush out and learn all the ninjutsu in the world, put on a silly costume, and become a super-hero. I went to go see the movie tonight with my cousins, Liz and Taylor, Allan (Liz’s boyfriend), and Jesse (Liz’s friend) at the North-DeKalb mall up here in Hotlanta.

Yep, we drove up today after a nice father’s day celebration down in Macon. I saw just about the whole family: Grandpa, Grandma, Aunt Daphne, Uncle Aaron, Uncle Dickey, my cousins Carson and Liz, and Joe (Carson’s boyfriend). We had some food from my favorite place in the world, Fresh Air Bar-B-Q. I swear, that place makes the best food in the world: the most succulent pulled pork, drowned in a flavorful sauce, along with a savory Brunswick stew, and of course, coleslaw. Today we even had some ribs, nice and juicy that just melt in your mouth. Every time that I go to Macon I get a party pack, which consists of a pack of buns, two things of pork, another thing of Brunswick stew, a smaller thing of slaw, and some extra-hot sauce. This is great, cuz you can eat the leftovers for a couple of days, and it always tastes good. We finished off the meal with some strawberry shortcake, making today’s feast one of the best I’ve ever had.

Last night I hung out with Carson. We had a few drinks and ended up just goofing off. I believe it to be very important to be silly every now and then, so we found the most ridiculous looking outfits and dressed ourselves up to pose for some silly pictures. I even put on one of Grandma’s dresses!!! Amazing what the effects of alcohol will posses you to do! But we should not rely on booze to be silly, life is way too short take it so seriously. Having a sense of humor and doing things like this are so much fun, I wish we could do it more often. But I guess the silliness would not be so much fun without the seriousness. Travel tip #6: Have a sense of humor. We also watched a couple of flicks: some weird movie about quantum physics, and another movie about tweakers. It is always good to hang out with my cousin Carson, goofing off and having a good time.

Now I am at my Aunt Mary and Uncle Dickey’s house in Decatur. They have the picture perfect house: two stories of perfection on the corner with a nice big front and back yard, with white picket fences wrapping around it. Outside, my aunt has worked miracles, planting flowers and other pretty bushes, giving the yards a nice blend of greenery, with some reds and purples blended into the mix. Inside, the hardwood floors shine with radiance, and the furniture gives it a very nice, homey kind of feel.

Tomorrow is a travel day; I am flying out to Colorado where I will see some friends, do some camping, and have a great time. More to come from the Rockies...
