blah blah blah...the weekend blah blah blah...
Im a little late to post about the past weekend but it took longer than expected to load all these pictures on to my photobucket account and things are busy like always. It seems like all I do these days is post about the weekend.On Saturday Jill and I went to the Ionia Free Fair. Some of the highlights included seeing the Oscar Meyer Weinermobile and Planters Peanut vehicles driving around, co-mingling amongst the white trash of mid michigan and eating deep fried oreos which until then, I never knew exsisted. I passed up the deep friend twinkie for these. They were actually not that bad but I dont think I needed 5 of them, 2 would've sufficed just fine. Anyway here is a couple pictures I took with my phone.
I really had a blast going back to this fair for the first time in many many years. I remember being a kid and waiting for this to come around. My mother would take my cousins and I here and I would lose them and ride the rides all day long. Speaking of which, coincidentally the same day that Jill and I were there, some 8 year old kid actually died on one of the rides at the fairground. He had a heart condition which his father knew about but thought it was "safe" for him to ride. What a dumbass! It was the first death in the 91 year history of the fair.
After we left the fairground around 3 (the crowds were getting bigger and the sun had really worn me out). We drove back to lansing to catch an afternoon showing of Clerks II. I was a bit worried what the crowd was going to be like, especially when the trailer for Snakes on a Plane came on and every sweaty overweight dude started high-fiving every other sweaty overweight guy next to them and were like "hell yeah man!! that better be a midnight showing!!". I've been guilty of this myself minus the high fiving a sweaty guy..ha! As for Clerks II, it was actually really good. It started off kind of slow and there were a few scenes that didn't make any sense in relation to the story. As it went on, the story got better, the characters were funnier and it ended on a very relateable message to stop doing what is expected and do what makes you happy. Theres a couple people in my life that I wish I could get that kind of message to. I dont want to spoil the movie for everyone so that's all I'll say about that.
The rest of the weekend isn't that interesting so I'll end it now. Time to go back to work.
