A Summation of the State of Arizona

From March 20th-25th I traveled all around the great southwestern state of Arizona. The weather fluctuated from 65 to 80 degrees, compared to 30 in Rochester, and I got to see lots and lots of cacti, never mind the GRAND CANYON!

One of my best friends from college, Sara, moved to Tucson a couple years ago and wanted visitors. Angela and I decided to help her out with that, and it was a great time. The lowlight was my constant runny nose (I had to walk around the Grand Canyon with a roll of toilet paper in my pocket), but there were many highlights, including my wonderful new Mexican friends Adrien and Saoul (Sa-OOL) who declared their undying love for me whilst following me around Nogales. It was quite the adventure. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves:

This was my view on the drive from Phoenix to The Grand Canyon


Grand Canyon, baby:




Silly Sara, always falling off cliffs....


Angela is very homicidal


This is my "Where's Waldo" picture


Sooo it seems as if I am holding a scythe and Angela is giving birth....weird


Sedona, the land of red rocks and strange vortexes:



Fun in Trail Dust Town:
I'm not so good at playing a sad bearded man with a donkey


Is it me or is it bright out?


Sara is the saddest little Korean..err...Indian girl!


Cacti!


Tell me this is not the cutest plant resembling a South American Old Man you've ever seen



At the Botanical Gardens with plants and....butterflies:

Biggest cactus EVER


I would like to attend mass here


My new friend Adrien, who sold me a poncho for 50% off (I think he was drunk). He did actually let me practice my Spanish on him though, which was nice


Adventures in a Mexican border town (Saoul has the camera)


And this picture is just for The Cheesus to drool over:

So I'm thinking about changing my blog template, since Joe changed his and it looks totally awesome. I doubt I could get mine to look that good but I could always try. I know my changing colors scheme is all psychedelic and whatnot, but change is inevitable. I wish I could do comments...any computer savvy people out there wanting to help me with a comments system are welcome to try (that means you Mike L. and Doug) Oh but yeah my whole reason for typing this paragraph is to say that in case my entire template becomes messed up, you'll know that it's because I tried to change it instead of your computer being wacked out. What else is going on in my life....when I'm not working overnights such as this lovely saturday night/morning, I'm sitting in my apartment watching tv or walking around the block. There's not much to do when all your best friends are in different states (acchem Angie/Sue) or think you're psycho for wanting to hang out with them (accch...

The Office Showdown Debate

Well....it's not so much of a debate since I have a definite preference, but whatever. So I just finished watched all of the British version of "The Office." It was very funny, and similar to the American version only in the very first episode. All episodes thereafter are completely different. In both there are the weird, trying to be funny but aren't really funny bosses who keep fucking up and think everyone loves them, and the Jim and Pam/Tim and Dawn characters are similar as well. But the things they do on the shows, the entire plotline, their personalities, are much different. That being said, here's a bit more.... What I like about the British Office: --they can talk about sex freely, because it isn't our run-by-religion society --it came first and is therefore automatically cool for thinking up the concept --they say funny words and use funny accents What I don't like about the British Office: --Ricky Gervais' character, David Brent, is almo...
