Some Lyrics and My Thanksgiving Adventure

The trip to Colorado:
So it was the night before thanksgiving and my cusin and i still needed to go to walmart to get some supplies. We comeback everyone is mad at us because we are holding off everyone from leaving. A 12 hour trip was coming and everyone was anctious to leave. As we cram into the rental-van we are using to get there, we notice the 12 hours are going to be long and uncomfortable everyseat in the hell dammed van was being used. We felt very close to eachother. So we leave everyone is sleepy so only the co-pilot and driver are awake. Soon enough the road gets tireing. So we wake up and just look outside. The rest of the night I managed to salvage by playing Tetris at 9-5 the best i do is 10 lines. Fuck i want to see that Rocket. As we are awaken by a cool breeze and a bumpy road and bright lights we find out that gas stations are not just for gas. They serve to wake u up from the little sleep you get by giving you a cold as fuck gust of wind, fuck you old man winter. But they also serve to get a driver change and a cup of coffee, as well relieving your bowels in the moderately cleen bathroom. So after we warm up, once again i try to fall asleep my attempts are futile due to a winding road and badly paved roads. After 7 hours of compleate darkness the sun starts to rise we are all tired and cant get any sleep. We hear the scenic view is nice, but new mexico is full of open plains and a small mountain, here i realize New Mexico sucks. Fuck NM. As i see the blandness of NM i begin to go into a deep Meditation state and finally trully understand Bob Segar's song Turn the Page. A salute to Truck drivers. As we go into colorado the scenary changes dramatically and it actually gets pretty. A couple hours into COlorado we hear that one of the main roads is closed, a crucial road to get to our destination, it traverses through the mountain and our place is on that side.Sad part is that we were right at the road when we heard the announcement. Turns out a giant boulder fell from the mountain and to get it out is going to take about a day.If would of taken this road to our destination its only 2 more hours, but now we had to go around a fucking mountain, an added 5 hours. FUCK U MURPHY! Right then i got tired and just got fuckin pissed, everything just sucked, for a moment i was truly EVIL. I took some time and just thought about random shit, and i heard the best song for the occation it calmed me down. Let it Be. Afterwards i just sorta calmed myself down and looked around, the same face on everyone, i looked at my cousin he was angry, i looked at my sister we laughed a lot. What else can you do? So i took a nap. Later i woke up calm, but still sorta ticked off at the situation. The next 4 hours were just a blur, full of Quiet Riot, Dio,Garth Brooks, George Strait, Journey, and MetallicA. At 5PM we arrived to my cousins house.

Thanksgiving dinner and the night:
This night was awsome, they say pictures are worth 1000 words. Ours are worth about 200 or so. here is a photo recap of dinner and night, and early next day:


This is me and our little cousin Jimmy. He is known as the most protected boy in the
world, 6+ eyes never leave him.


Me, Bernie, Adrian and his brother Alex. We are all very close cousins.

We ate like this. The original plan was to look like 1920's 'gentelmen' we ended up
lookin like early Mexican revolutionaries.


ALL NIGHT SUCKERS!


Next mornin, sleepy as hell.


Then just screwed around outside. The kid on top of me is our cousin Lionel, we
treat him as if he were older. The girl is Alex and Adrians sister. Protected by her brothers? you
bet she is.

The Next day:
This part is was pretty much just fucked our trip. It turns out that we are going to some gay ass hike into some caverns. My cousins and i did not want to go, all we wanted to do is just chill at the house play HALO2 and just talk about our lives. But did the parents listen. NO! they demanded we go. fuck that, on the way up all we did is complain, but that got old fast so my cousin adrian and i were doin some stupid shit with some wheat thins we found in the car. Fun until we ate one, then we got thirsty. At the cavern thing we were dirrected by some loser guide who my brother thought was gay, or had a rock fetish.His rules for the cavern thing were simple enough, just dont touch the walls or take anything, turns out if u take something its a federal offence.Yea i touched the walls, and took accouple rocks.im a rebel, you like? He tryed so hard to make Geology fun and exciting, he ended up looking like a boob, and we amused ourself by dishing out some harsh rants twards the Guide. Fuck him if he cant take a joke. After the pointless tour we had to go back to my cousins house. At least the night will be fun. WRONG! WHY? they decided to spend our last night at my Uncles house. It sucked, bernie and i just wanted to stay with our cousins but that was taken away, we were mad and sad. But why didnt they let us stay? I guess the answer is Blowing in the Wind ;) When we got there we were just looking for something to do. The answer....a 100 peice puzzle we would do with the help of our cousins Miguel 6years and his brother Leo 5 years old. We were to do it with the picture side down. Bad idea, we never finished the puzzle. lol. A fucking 100 peices. We have done 3000 peices in one night. Whats wrong with us?? So we jsut quit.During the night we just saw cartoons and i tryed to comunicate with my GF but service in the Rockies sucks. The next day we needed to wake up to come back home. This whole day sucked. Summed up nicely by my cousin erlyer " Im 1500 ft. up on the Rocky Moutains, and im not going down on a Snow Board?! Im pissed"

The trip back was weird, we were supposed to come back with my brother instead of my uncle in the van. See, my uncle is going to take this car they gave him all the way to El Paso, and my cousin voluteered to be his co-pilot. God Bless him. Now the van will be a lot more comfortable, but it sux cause my cousin isnt there. oh well. The trip back was full of sleep, i hadent slept for 40+ hours. I just crashed. all i remember is waking up from a small dream most likely endused by songs Hallowed Be Thy Name and the Ace of Spades. So now im just waiting for bernie and my uncle to arrive.

So my trip sucked, but the fun parts were fun and worth the hastle. I just hope Christmas will be better. And we got off with a nice quote that sums up our entire trip.
"We are all going to wake up retarded exept for Adrian" Yea its a major inside joke but those are funnyer and priceless. They are memories. And i dont wanna type anymore so i'll just let you expand on the cheezyness.

Good Bye!


NOTE: My cousin called and it turns out that they are staying another night in colorado due to heavy snow, so yea. hope he makes it home ok.
