We were told by everyone that we had to ride a cable car. It was unique, the way it works with the cable running up and down all the streets underground. It was pretty cool going up and down the hills. The only problem was, and we came to a decision on this, it is still just a FUCKING TRAM
The title says it all. This was in a Macy's store. Macy's is a fuck off sized version of Myer. In this macine you could buy I Pod's, accessories and digital cameras. I guess it prevents from waiting in line, if you know what you want.
This blog is not endorsed by Ray. These are my words. This line was at about 3pm on the release day. All this for a Fucking phone. Get over yourselves people.
You would not guess it going by the weather, but the boat driver claimed that this was a great day. Ha. Every one was saying $40 plus for a boat tour of the bridge and alcatraz. We paid 15. Awesome.
Just something funny we saw at pier 39 in San Fran. They used different empty six pack holders to put all their condiment bottles
There is no other way to describe this guy, other then, he Fucking rocks. He is a homeless dude who sits on the main street in San Fran, and sits behind a bin holding 2 branches and scares people as they walk past. Very funny shit.
I saw this in a 7-11 window. They do not sell any other games, but he you pre order with a snickers you get 10 bucks off. WTF?
When we got to San Fran, we were taken to the hotel by a dodgy chinese driver who had a hard time finding the place, considering none of us knew that the name had changed a couple of weeks before. We finally got to our room thanks to my brother Anthony, a soft talking cool black dude. Our do not disturb sign had something against molesting. Oh well. The neighborhood, i didn't take kindly to considering it was all homeless, crackheads and hookers.
We literally were allowed on the plane as the doors were closing. The funniest bit of it all was that a 3rd guy was allowed on the plane as well. His comment was 'PHEW, we made it by the skin of our teeth ' about 3 seconds after he said that, they apologised and told him there was no room. Ha. Like we gave a shit, we had a seat and were going to San Fran. 3 hours later, but all good.
We got up early, caught our normal train and got off at JFK airport to catch the air train to the terminal. 2 problems. The first was we say our plane was leaving 15 minutes earlier. Then the 2 minute train ride we thought we had turned out to be about 25. So, we missed our planes check in and were put on the standby list for the next train.
Saying goodbye to the family we stayed with. These are their 2 kids. On Ray's list is 1 year old Luke. By the end of our time, Ray had taught him peek a boo. He loved it. We brought him an elmo peek a boo toy. Lance is 10 years old and super hyper. He always had 20 questions for us. Even after 10 could not understand why i ate rice with a fork. His face was priceless when we gave him Smash Brothers game for his wii.
I had ordered a turkey grilled sandwich at a cafe. My side dish that they put on my plate were crisp chips. I have had a chip sandwich before but never a sandwich with chips.
This is me standing at the largest part of the memorial wall in washington. Its a black wall in an L shape with name upon name of people who lost there lives in nam.
Ray out the front of George W's crib. Grant wanted to get his ass out but thought twice about when he realised that the CIA would be taking me down in a second. SHIT.
we are on our way to washington on a 35 bus from china town. It's about a 4 hour drive. We got on to realise why It's 35 bucks. They don't clean the Fucking toilet. It's making all sorts of weird noises and squeaks. I hope we get there. Love to all of you. Ha
I kept waiting for a perfect combo of cops to get a photo with. A caucasian, a black dude and hispanic. I finally got it but the dark guy did not want in. Weird. He must have seen me coming.
Our last dinner in times square was at a place called dallas BBQ. Ribs, steak and chicken wings were all on the menu. All for only 41 bucks with drinks.
Still in Toys R Us. All the BARBIE toys and gear was actually in a full size BARBIE house.
This is what welcomes you when you get to the lego/jurassic park section in Toys R Us in Times Square. Awesome lego builds of lady liberty, empire state building with king kong moving on top. They even had a life size captain sparrow. The T_Rex you can see was huge and was an animatromic, It's head and body moved around and it would roar every now and then. It was all pretty good stuff.
We might not have gone to coney island, but we did get to see RENT. We got some free tickets through a relative of the people we are staying with. It was a great show and even got a standing ovation. Can't see much in the photo but its the cast taking a bow.
I just had to post one more photo of me with Latinò Montana.
I have no idea how we got on to the topic but we ended up drawing moustaches on our fingers and had a sanchez photo shoot. Thanks Again Tara, i had an awesome night and wish i could do it again sooner rather then later.
At one point i even did an excited hand shaking statingi 'I can't beleive i met Hannah' All her friends thought it was hilarious but little did they know, we were the ones with the upper hand. Hee hee. I decided to ruin her night. MWUAHAHA. I simply walked up, put my arm around her and in her far i said ' How Fucking stupid do you think australians are' Needless to say, she did not like that. After a few greasy looks from her friends when she told them. They all left very quickly.
THIS WILL BE OVER TWO BLOGS. TOO FUCKING FUNNY. The same night out with the two girls, another patron heard i was aussie and attempted to try and convince me she was Hannah Montana. For the uneducated, google her name to see a photo of her. Got it! The girl trying to convince me she was hannah, was latinò, short, chubby an just plain Fucking stupid. Nothing like the real Hannah. Me being me played along with her and her friends game. I got photos, kisses on the cheek and she even sat on my lap. NEXT BLOG.
i had the pleasure of catching up with Tara , who is another one of the die hards from the steveo message board. We went to some random pub on the upper west side. Tara brought a friend of hers along, Denise, for the night. Good solid drinking session from 9 till about 4. We had a blast drinking beer and watching a whole group of NYC single guys try to pick up 1 girl in a polka dotted dress. There was also a guy in a vest who we were pretty sure was going for the wrong sex. Ha
Just one of the views showing a small few of the lights and billboards. Really is amazing to see. After a week here though It's quite normal. Ray now understands where the hole is in the ozone layer. Above NYC.
We kept getting pushed away from street to street. Starting at 25th and 1st avenue we ended up at 18th amongst thousands of people. We were not allowed any further in. We could not see the river for the bridge (FDR Freeway). We were standing next to a pretty cool family. The cops barricaded us and people were trying to sweet talk the cops to let them in. It didn't work. Quote of the day. 'THE CAPTAIN'S AN ASSHOLE'
This 20 second ride is insane. 0 to 128 miles an hour, then it goes straight up then you guessed it, straight down the other side. Photos do it no justice, you tube it to see it in action. I bought a season pass so i could go in san fran and LA. Ray did not come but will be coming to other six flags.
I went to a theme park called six flags and rode the most insane coaster to exist. . . SO FAR. This starts from a stop and shoots to 128 miles per hour straight up to a peak, then straight down. No time to scream, it just goes. Ray did not come but will come to san francisco six flags.
The title says it all. Got food from a vending macine. This was at woodbury common. A place that defines what a DFO outlet should be.
This is the view from the 102nd floor. Pretty awesome view. Most people only say to go to 86th floor. It was only a small room up there, with a very bored guy who stays up there all day. Through the whole experience, no big apes, meg ryan or tom hanks. We did in to liberty and ellis island earlier in the day, only got proper camera shots there. PS. It is just a statue, nothing more, nothing less. Ha ha.
Finally got to a HOOTERS. And uhmmm., and it was all push up bras and small breasts. The opinion from up that it was all about the tittie size. Ha ha. Food was average but the girls were pretty much hot.
Blogs will be regular again had problems with the phone. The sky you can see is where the towers once stood. It was very eerie to be there. We did not know but there was a fire station right beside the buildings. Inside was a monument to some fire fighters that died. Still a strange place to stand.
