Your greatest adventure.

The year I graduated high school a couple of my friends invited me to Canada for a Phish concert in Toronto, they already had the tickets and I didn't have anything to do so I figured why not. We spend the weekend at the show and wandering around downtown, on Sunday afternoon one of the guys says, "Hey I hear Vancouver is nice this time of year." We all look at each other, ok.

 So with about a hundred bucks between us we set off west. The problem was the little bit of money we had wasn't gonna get us very far. When we ended up at our first stop in Sudbury we went out trying to earn money to keep moving forward. So we went out explaining what we were doing and asking if there was any work we could do for people. Those damn Canadians really came through for us, we would cut grass, walk dogs wash cars and whatever else they had for us. Some families would give us cash, some would feed, give us tents to set up in the yard and one couple let us use an empty apartment for a few days.

We ended up doing this till we got back and forth through Canada and back home to Rochester NY.

 Canadian people are super friendly, almost to a creepy level.

I have never done anything that crazy but I have stories, is just that I'm not good at telling stories so they sound crap. Well then:






I have a friend (my surfing partner since years and years and I miss him since he moved out to Florida), the guy is really good looking. He always went out with really hot girls and when I say hot I mean this kind of hot (ironically he now has a not so pretty wife that looks like a beat up Rihanna XD). Then he once went out with what people would call is a "jailbait" that he met in a hotel but she looked mature enough for me to not realize she was still in high-school (Senior) when I was 22 (I'm 26 now). Well the thing is that after doing it with her a couple of times in just the first week of meeting each other he one day brought her to the beach where we often go to surf and that was when I met her for the first time.

I'm poor, I know I'm not that good looking (I do have kind of a nice body thanks to bodyboarding) but for some reason she got the fancies for me (is that the correct term? I'm not very good with English) even though I look like a very boring person. So my friend gave her my number and she started to literally harass me. I didn't mind since in all my life I have had only 2 girlfriends and she was hot hot hot as hell. But dude, I don't know if this is a rich girl thing but that girl was *** crazy. We went out for just a week or 2 and we did it literally everywhere. In my house, on the beach, in her grandmother's penthouse (on Isla Verde), in a bathroom during a concert and she always paid for everything from weed to concerts, movies, restaurants, everything. Her parents gave her like $400 just to hang out on weekends, can you believe that ***? I don't even go to the movies because they are $10 and not to mention the high prices on gas! But thanks god the beach is free and Puerto Rico is a tropical island with tons of waves....

and that's the story of my life. I've been smoking too much weed and this is the only thing that comes to mind at the moment and probably the only story I will never forget about. I sometimes meet up with old friends and they start talking about old stuff and I don't remember about most of the stuff they talk about.  =/

as long as you do good in school and then in uni or whatever you'll be fine. Studies = money and money = girls & friends.   lol


The guy that used to be my best friend since we were kids was never popular and very shy but now he is a doctor, has a wife that looks like a Victoria Secret model and he is almost a celebrity with the many friends he has. I'm jealous of him even if most of those friends are all fake. I have nobody now since most of my close friends moved out to the United States or Canada (not many jobs in Puerto Rico) and I'm introverted and a college drop out. Worst combination ever but I'm trying to get back to finish a bachelor's degree on something... Somehow I need to earn some decent money because I want kids and I want to surf with them.

Yea well you're young so you still have tons of time. Sometimes you gotta throw caution to the wind, maybe you end up in the middle of a foreign country with no money, maybe you don't.

Trying to find the center piece of an s2000 rear bumper: Its been more of a mission than an adventure. Turns out in the states the bumper is a single part but lo and behold, in the UK the center panel is separate. 3 weeks of hunting and i've finally found one, oh the excitement.

We are not... it is just you are not used to people being nice to each other..

I'd say my greatest adventure was back when I turned 17 and finally got my provisional license. At the time me and an old friend were in a pop punk band together, it was a trio, me guitar, him vocals and keys, and a girl on drums. For some strange reason we got invited to play a show in Connecticut. We were beyond excited, an out of state show for such a young band as us. Too bad our drummer couldn't make it. So that made things interesting. Anyway the day after I had got my license was when we embarked on our 5 hour drive to Connecticut. With nothing but a guitar, synths and his car full of trash (it was a trash heap) we departed. Cutting through New York state and driving along the winding miniature mountains to New England. Let me tell you guys, I hate Connecticut now. The state sucks. It's like bum **** nowhere for the North East. Drivers are terrible, and there was nothing up there. There weren't even any fast food joints to go to. But we played our show horribly (it was a disaster, the people running the event ****ed up big time) got paid and left for home. My friend decided he wanted to sleep, so I was tasked with driving. For 5 hours straight, the day AFTER I got my license. Sure was a fun ride, especially with all the hills and the truck drivers in New England who want to murder you. We almost died 3 times from **** truck drivers who would not let us merge. Terrifying experience, has left a bad taste in my mouth from 18 wheelers. We even saw a hobo dancing in the middle of a high-rise exit (in New York one of the curving roads that goes over other ones) for change. But there's a lot of details I'm forgetting.

MOral of the story: Don't go to the ****hole known as Connecticut.

I have had lots of adventures and I have shared a few of them with you guys already. I'm too lazy to type another novel on here.

I got robbed at gunpoint last year in Colombia, got in the wrong taxi and me and me and a friend got taken to this shoddy bar in a bad part of Villavicencio. We were sat down and told to hand over all our money at gunpoint, all together we had bout 200,000 pesos which is about £69 which is a lot for over there. Then we were given a tiny bottle of whisky and we were offered some, we drank it like the drunk idiots we were, then everything went fuzzy and I can't remember nothing until sometime later walking down a random street in town, no money, phone, wallet or friend. Got a taxi home and my mate had got back already and we reminisced about how stupid we had been and how lucky we were to escape un-kidnapped and alive.  It was fun... -_-

 

I'll bite. Back in 2004 was probably my greatest adventure. It was me, my brother Bojan and two of our really great friends Koleman and Dave we all went to a couple of Countries out in Europe. We first all went to The Neatherlands via first class trip on plane. We went to Amsterdam and then Roderdam. We were stoned out of our minds in Amsterdam haha before the new law came out that does not let tourists smoke weed. The coffee shops there are not ordinary coffee shops. It's a shop where you have different kinds of herbs to choose from. There was a great small restaurant called Moaz that serves awesome falafels. And we also checked out the red light district as well as the henieken brewing factory. After that we took the Eurorail (train) to Germany. On the train we were drinking and eating candy bars laced with shrooms lol. It was pretty tasty. In Germany we went to Berlin to see the last remnants of the Berlin wall. Than we headed out to Cologne. The Cologne cathedral (Roman Catholic church) was very impressive. It was huge. We also stopped by a love parade haha. After that we met up with a few friends that my brother and I know from Switzerland. We went to Zurich. It was very nice there. This is where we parted ways. After visiting Switzerland our two friends went to France when the Tour De France was happening. And they got to see that. While my brother and I went to Serbia (it was Yugoslavia at the time) to see our family there. Got to see the Tesla museum. It was awesome. Overall it was a trip I will never forget. And the women were beautiful.       

Interesting stories. Keep them coming.
