You know what I just realized?  I've been on Xanga for over 4 years now.  I started this page one summer while I was bored at my intern job.  I figured I'd keep up with it for maybe 4 weeks max.  Now it's been like 4 years.  Craziness!  It's definitely fun to look back at look at the entries from the past.  So much has changed.  One of these days, I'm going to fix the broken images for all my old entries...

Speaking of images, it's now time for my monthly picture update.  It's definitely been an interesting summer.  Can't say it's been my best summer ever, but I've had a lot of fun.  My camera has been kinda flaky since I killed it in the sands of South Beach, but I've managed to take a few pictures this summer (or at least jacked them from other people).  Here are some random pictures from this summer:

This picture is actually from a little before summer.  Me, Gennessey, JT and Huy decided to take a hike up Tiger Mountain.  Freakin Huy had to get to a dinner, so we basically ran up the mountain.  Kiiiiinda tiring.  Notice how I'm holding a Yan Yan.  We come prepared on our hiking trips.

. 

This is me and a couple of my NWO partners in crime, Jimmy and Huy.  We got our wetsuits on, ready to go for a crazy white water rafting trip on the Skykomish River.

I'm on the far right, battling some rapids.

Chillin with some other rafters before we scout the big drop.

Our guide's the guy in the pink helmet.  With his blonde hair and moustache, he kinda looks like Hulk Hogan.  Someone on our raft asked him what the worst situation he's ever been in while rafting.  His reply?  "Death.  I don't really want to talk about it."  That was pretty much the end of that conversation.

Back in Seattle, we were just minding our own business, when we saw this tank roll by.

And then... what the Stormtroopers?!!!

And just when it couldn't get any weirder, Ronald McDonald came over towards us with that child molester look in his eye.  Kinda scaaary.

Oh wait nevermind... we were just at the Torchlight parade to check out Rockstar Jina doing her traditional Korean dance, Lil Drummer girl style. 

Not too long ago, I took a trip down to Portland to visit my brother.  This is the only picture I have that isn't too R-rated to post from that trip.  This is me, the PA Phis and Nikki.  Don't ask me why I'm trying to lift up Nikki.  I have no clue.

We took it back playground style and played kickball at Steve's BBQ.  I'm like the Ichiro of Kickball.  Not much power, lots of speed.

This is the obligatory official party picture of this entry.  Kickin' it at War Room.

Good times.  Stay tuned for part 2 of Don's shoe collection from this Summer haha.
