damn. today seth picked me up sometime after his grandpa yelled at me on the phone while i was in the bathroom. i stole a watermelon at fred meyer. i'm a street nigga, nigga. n-e-wayz, we picked roger and found ourselves traveling from the tukwila toys'r'us all the way to the u-district via a super-trafficked interstate-5. we bought lunch and ate in a parking lot, hit up the local bookstore, and met anthony and crystal at seattle center where we ran around in the water fountain. after that things took a slight turn in flavor, probably not for the better, and we headed over to rogers where i played age of mythology while the others watched do the right thing. tyree made his way there, and we stopped at seth's house as well as anthony's. then we went to swim at nick knutsen's pool when nick wasn't even there.

the first part of the day felt really road-trippy, just a taste of things to come this summer. a real problem some of my friends face is the notion that girls have to be around to make things fun and enjoyable. while it's true that a girl or seven can keep things from being a sausage festival, it's still cool to venture out with your buddies for a day and do something you don't do everyday (like watching super troopers in anthony's living room).
