halloweener

hello weener.

so sounds like everyone had a real nice halloween. adie you guys look pretty freaky and rad as those skeletons. ive done a few fun things of late, the last two days or so, so i shall recount for all those interested:

the other nite, i think tuesday nite, after the crazy earthquake scare, which really did freak me out (and sounds like it freaked mikie out even worse), i only thought of ultimate destruction. for some reason i just knew i was going to have to flee town. i first grabbed eddy, who was cemented to a pillow, and was ready to run barefoot with my boy under my arm. but fortunately that was not the case, and my rickety peeling-paint house still stands. but how much longer?
anyways, after that, later on that nite, me and stanley and our friend christina walked to mikie and candices place and we all took off, after sampling their amazing baked pumpkin seeds, in mikies car to the gymnastics gym where candice works. the place is just a giant playground. they have two trampolines, one that is long like you can run on it, the other normal size. there are tons of bars at different heights, balance beams, those weird horse things, lots of pads, mats, and even a foam pit. springboards, big mirrors, all kinds of craziness. so we jumped around there for a couple hours, from about 10:30 to midnite or so. it was great.
then we went to beckmanns and snagged some good free bread to sustain me another week or two. then i went home. it was a good nite.

then wednesday i had work off, and the day was mine. so i recorded a song at my house (which is on my myspace page called "magic bus day" if anyone wants to listen to it) and went for a slow peaceful bikeride along the ocean cliffs to this beach called natural bridges on the other end of town. i narcissistically listened and relistened to my song on my ipod to make sure i was ok with the end product, laying in the early-setting-sun-sand with my shirt off, looking at the sky, the sun gleaming whitely bright off the ocean. it was kind of cold but felt so good. then i read some of bluebeard by kurt vonnegut, stuck around about an hour just enjoying the sun and sounds and sand. it was grand. then i got on my bike and rode on mission (highway 1) to the new leaf and bought some potatoes and a zucchini and a root beer, sat on the metal chairs outside the store and drank my rootbeer and drew pictures of the bottle and wrote. it was a very pleasant day.
when i came home i made some dinner with potatoes, yellow and green peppers, white onion, mushrooms, zucchini, and tomato fried up inolive oil with black beans on top. it was prime.
then it was halloween, at nite time, so very close to time to go out. oh yea i forgot to mention that the previous nite when we were at the gym candice got me and stanley some leotards, black with silver sequined upper chests and arms, ridiculous, that were made for 11 or 12 year old girls. we wore those for halloween. they exposed quite a bit. you can only imagine. i thought it was fine and i wasnt too worried about getting lots of crap from people because its santa cruz, people are always scantily clad on halloween.
not this year. especially no guys. we were the only males downtown dressed even remotely this scarcely. it was crazy. ive never been called a fag in all seriousness by so many people in one nite. we also got pleasant comments. in fact almost every single person we passed made some sort of remark or comment in some way. it was weird getting lots of attention like that, but pretty fun. downtown was crazy, hundreds and hundreds of people, and, ridiculously, almost an equal number of cops (exaggeration) standing around with big folded forearms looking all badass and serious. then we went down, stan and me and joe and niles, to this house near downtown where our roommates justin and garretts band was playing. it was in a basement and everyone was wasted and dancing and it was great fun. but about 20 or 25 minutes in, who else shows up BUT THE COPS! hooray for the protectors and servers who do great deeds for society by breaking up a BASEMENT SHOW on HALLOWEEN! way to go guys. doin good things for society. i just feel so SAFE when i see cops, dont YOU!@>!?>!>!:?>!?!@>!@>!
lots of anger here.
anways, after that we strolled thru downtown again, following this random guy named trevor who was carrying a boombox on his shoulder and was wearing a wig and smiling a lot and being generally really crazy (later on we found out why) and we danced all drunkenly down the street gaining even more looks and remarks and pictures being taken of us then before. ive never done anything like this really, gone out into a public place and made a spectacle of me. i guess thats just what halloween does.
anyways, then we realized how wasted we truly were, and our friends party up near our house ALSO got broken up by cops, so we sprinted home. SPRINTED thru throngs of people downtown. even more remarks. it was awesome. i was just waiting to get stabbed.
then i went to bed. today i feel terrible, but im happy about life in all its maniac madness.
did you guys all have a fun last two days?
