Tear Gas

Halloween is one of my favorite times during the year, I love to see everyone dressed in costumes and becoming a new personality for one night. This Halloween I spent in Madison, now this is no regular Halloween, Madison is know for its over excessive block party, with college students covering a 5 block radius, they are mostly shoulder to shoulder but you can find away through the mob of people. There are some very creative costumes such as a bock of wine (Franzia) or a piece from the Tetris game, which we all know and love so dearly. But in this mass crowd is our lovely law enforcement. Now they are not harassing the college students, in fact they are playing along with them, they are there to make sure we are safe and don’t riot. Now this is where we run into a problem, if the police think that students are going to riot then what do you think they are going to do? Once the clocks where turned back the party began, but to the few rowdy young adults in the mob of people thought it would be a great idea to start a fire in the middle of State St. this made the crowd go wild, and the police go No, NO. At this moment they brought in the riot police, where they pushed the crowed down to the end of State St. I was not on State St. but up above watching all the people run as they tried to escape what I thought was fake tear gas. Once the squad of police where below me and decided to spray what I still thought was smoke. It didn’t take a second for my body to react to the gas that had filled the air, and for my friends that had been on State Street and where crowing out on to the deck to join me and my teary eyed, snot filled face, to also encounter the pain that had been put into the air. With a sniper above me saying, “How do you like that.” and all of my friends crying and running inside to find that we can’t escape it. Once we close the windows the tear gas stayed to haunt us on this lovely Halloween weekend. As ten of us sit in this dirty hall trying to clear our lungs of the pollutant that our government has put in us, I watched Justine puke fallowed by a comment of Pete saying, “stop being so gross.” With our eyes full of tears, my nose filled with snot, and my pants full of piss from coughing to hard we found a way to laugh it off. We realized that there was tear gas lingering in to hall so we decided to go out side one more time; this is where the air was clean and fresh. But the cops where not to far from us and once again you could taste the tear gas in the air. We waited till things calmed down and walked our tired ass’s home.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Costume Party

Well the annual costume party was last night, and yes Jillian (the nanny), Amanda and Diva (dead prom), and I (Audrey Hepburn) all attended the fabulist party, we where joined by Johnny Ramon (Andy Grooms) and some other very importuned people. Once the judging came we had to be in character and look good. Jillian won 3rd place and I came in 2nd place. Audrey is very imprested with the outfit that Kelly and Amanda wiped up. I would like to thank Amanda for helping me sow, because I don’t know how to, I don’t even know if I spelled it right.

Car- I personally do not thing John Kerry is a dodo head. I think that he will be much better then what is in store with Bush. I think you should see the documenter that move-on is showing around our wonderful nation, this documenter is called “Going Up River” or “Up River” or something along that lines, check it out and let me know what you think.

Today Jill and I will be going to Madison and spending our lovely weekend running from cops and partying in costumes, o wait I’m 21 I don’t have to run anymore, happy day, sorry Jill.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN.

DAN

This is for Dan, yes I am alive, I am just really fucking busy. The only time I have to post info on my life is in class. Class latley has not been the most entertaining thing to be at, but the profs have started to make you put your lap top away and pay attention. This weekend is one of the best holidays in my book, I will be once again in the most intresting costume (not to be cocky or anything, hehe). But you will just have to wait and see the pics. Bush was here yesterday, and it was shity out just like he is shity, so the weather matches our leader. Edwerds was here on monday and it was by far the most beautiful day of fall, so maybe there is a beautiful futer ahead of us.
Amanda and I have been working on a AIDS bord to put up in the acc, and just to let you all know that its not a "gay thing" it is a "hetro thing" %90 of people infected are Hetrosexual.
Last weekend my roomate ran in to something we thought had left loras college, she was made fun of for holding her girlfreinds hand, why must this always happen to good people that have a good head on there sholders. All that I have to say to thoughs who make fun is FUCK YOU, YOU FUCKING JERK.

P.S. i didnt spell check, sorry.

Savanna

We left Dubuque in our quest for the east coast. When we arrived in Chicago we enjoyed a fine meal with our wonderful friend Andrew. The flight that I was supposed to be on was canceled so I was to fly Delta. When arriving bright and early at the airport I was told that I was not on the flight. Thinking to my self how great it would be to one, not have a flight and two I did not have phone # for me to call Ian with. Once Delta got there act together I was safely on my way to Savanna. When arriving I was greeted with a happy bday and we where on our way. Once arriving at Ian’s we where give disk men with an audio tour on it. The audio tour was of Ian’s apartment. This was a wonderful way to start off the trip.
That day we walked around Savanna looking at the sites and sounds of lovely Georgia. Later on we attended a party that was in our honor. It was hosted by a super man named Boston. Who would soon come to know that he is the coolest guy in Savanna.
Day two conceited of more walking and see the town, including the school. That night Boston picked us up in a Pedi cab and took us to River Street. River street is a tourist trap but we did enjoy Ben and Jerry’s while we where there. Back on the Pedi cab we where off to eat and then to the hunted ghost tour, which was kind of hokey. Then sleepy time.
Day three, Ian had to acted in a movie, so Jill and I hit the town and did some shopping. Not that we bought anything. But we did get a little tipsy at lunch. Once Ian came home it was off to do scary stuff in Savanna. We went to scary Mary. If you look into her eyes and she winks at you it means you are going to hell. But scary Mary didn’t scary me so we walked the town and peaked our heads into old building and told ghost stories, it was some good shit. Also I had a to-go cup. Which is something I will all ways love about Savanna. You can take you drink with you anywhere you go. Walk into a bar and order a cold beer in a to-go cup, this helped me see more of the city and hang out with the underagers. Thanks Savanna for the to-go cup.

Bday

I am picking a font or typeface that is called Georgia. I am picking this typeface because i will be on a beach tomarrow around noon in Savanna Georgia. Happy Bday to me. I would like to say happy bday to Danny boy who is in Japan, Viener who is some where in Iowa I think? and Liz
P. who had a beer with me last night. Domo Liz.
