hello all,
so i was a lousy blogger last year when pak, steve and i went on our european travels, but i did keep a journal and managed to write in it everyday during our trip. some of you may have tried to read my handwriting in the tiny photo i took of a journal page with my iphone (and then uploaded)... yeah, that was not going to work. so i quit.
BUT, one year on, i am typing up my journal so that you can all follow along, a year after the fact. this is more because i have lately been reminiscing about last year (ask andree, steve, pak or maureen... how many times have i said, "a year ago, we were in vegas", "a year ago (insert whatever i got up to a year ago)".
so here we go... the interesting thing will be seeing how long i manage to keep this up :)
posts will start may 20-21 (the day i departed vancouver and arrived in paris) and the plan is to post all journal entries, embedded with some pics that i took over the course of the two or so months.
stay tuned and enjoy
hugs,
steve

Hey folks. Trying new iPhone app to see if I can upload pics of journal to blog.
Fingers crossed!
Fingers crossed!

day one... it's all downhill from here on in...
hello friends and family,
in about 90 minutes i will be taking off to toronto to meet up with steve and rich and then we are off to paris to see andree and begin the gong-show that is european backpacking.
apologies for the lengthy delays with blog postings...
and here we have... the travel schedule... kind of... in two parts (green is may, blue is june, yellow is july).
SO... we have the current people joining us at various points...
andree st.germain
her bro phil st.germain
kim chen
we're also probably going to meet up with jason landry's sister's family to hang out in malaga (south spain...surfing?!)
if you are interested, drop us a line and meet up. would be cool to see you guys abroad.
also, i bought a little travel journal thingybob that i will try and write in everyday and stuff, so this blog will possibly transform into more pictures (of the writing) that you guys can all read... if you can read my chicken scrawl writing.
here is a recent picture of us in vegas for michelle and rob's wedding. what a mess...
rich is going to get hurt this summer. if not by europeans that he pisses off, then by nusbaum and i. sample story...
the precursor is that the wedding party was decked out nicely in lovely dresses, and the lads wore tuxes with top hats (so money).
about midnight at the reception (text follows general conversation that actually happened):
rich, "ng! i am gonna f$&k that mike guy right up"
me, "mike? at our dinner table? dude, he is the nicest guy ever"
rich, "i don't f%*king care. i'm gonna stab him"
me, "ok, why?"
rich (pointing to his head), "do you see the top hat i was wearing?"
me, "well, no. i saw you wearing it a while ago, we all wore a top hat at some point"
rich, "that f#$ker stole it from me!"
me, "um. it was his though."
rich, "what are you f*@king talking about?"
me, "is was his. he rented it, he has to return it and make sure it doesn't get lost or damaged. trust me. it's his. he was in the wedding party... remember?"
rich, "... NOBODY is going to make as much money as ME!"
end scene. yes ladies and gents. this summer is going to hurt. everyone. in europe.
(the last line totally did not come into the conversation, but it's something rich would say, and has in the past)
and for this postings installment of things said by one of us three:
nusbaum, "i would let a monkey blow me"
context: none. out of the blue.
stay tuned folks.

iPhone blogging?!
Hello again. Sorry about the lengthy delays on posts. School got in the way and then so did laziness and procrastination but now... Look out world!
Just kidding. I will likely fall lazy again. But for now I am testing the blogging abilities via the phone. I guess I can't do links and stuff. Pics? I don't think so
