Nuclear War, Nuclear War...Yo Bad Azizi As A Nuclear War

WE ARE ALIVE!!!

At one point while hastily packing, I thought that life as I knew it was coming to an end!!!

Yes...I was one of the millions evacuating the city of IAH. The weather reports and newscasts were predicting destruction and chaos because of Rita. A NAME I SHALL NEVER EVER LIKE AGAIN.

Amanda-Jayne, Nick and I felt it best to gather our children and drive to the hills of Arkansas as fast as possible. So we packed all of our personals as quickly as possible and tried to get the hell out. We didn't want to be any part of the whole 'NEW ORLEANS' fiasco and we wanted the kids kept safe.

So we tried our best to journey north...but we were trapped, ...like lambs to the slaughter, in gridlocked traffic with a freakin' hurricane at our backs we really felt like there was absolutely no where to go.

Fortunately, Nicks mom has a place in Livingstone, and we were able to make it there. Eleven hours after departing our house, we finally arrived...keep in mind that this trip would normally only take sixty minutes...we were so overjoyed.

Turns out though...we were in the place where R.I.T.A. decided to do some hanging around...we had had enough and split as soon as we could.

We made it back with everyone in tact. Thank God.

SHE WAS A BITCH

We Need You

So, If We Sometimes Fight...

Have you ever felt like the biggest asshole in the world??? I have...last night I was the biggest asshole of all assholes.

Our story begins...

Nick and I were working, as we always do on Saturday Nights. We found out that our computer systems were going to be down for about an hour. It was already really slow...and we thought about leaving early. We usually work till about 11:30. So we checked with our Supervisor and she said “Yeah, no problem”.

Cool. So I call the house and tell Boogie that we are leaving early. He’s like, “Alright, I’ll tell mom”. So Ten-O’Clock rolls around and we head for the door. On the way out, I say “Why don’t we stop for a drink?”

Drinks it is!!! We head for the door and I tell Nick, “Hold on, let me call the house and let them know”. I call, Gracie picks up and I tell her to let her mom know that we will be home later.

So with all of that done, we head over to Woodrows for a drink.

Four beers and four hours later we finally head for the car. Little did we know the good times were coming to an end.

We arrived at the house with the Suburban gone and our next door neighbor standing in the driveway wrapped up in a blanket. FUCK!!! This is NOT good.

“Amanda-Jane is looking for you guys...and she’s pissed”. “Yeah...we kinda figured that”.

Ten minutes later Amanda-Jayne comes into the house and ripps us both new assholes. This is one woman you do not EVER want to cross. So another hour and a half of her yelling and screaming at us, we finally wrap things up and settle into the beds...ALL SEPARATE BEDS!!!

She had to get up 2 hours later and go to work till 5:00.

Looking back now, I feel SO bad...she had no clue where we were. Didn't know if we were alive or dead. We didn’t even bother to call and give her a heads up. I feel SO guilty.

So, in hopes of somehow making this up to her, we’re going to send her some flowers at work and take her out this week. She deserves it after what we did. She was freaking out...we’re really horrible guys.

Guatemala Airport

...And I feel Like I just Got Home...

Alright all you homos and non-homos out there...over the last couple of weeks I have made two trips to Guatemala. Amanda-Jayne, Nick and I have a friend that lives there and he needed to take care of some business here in the states. So I flew down to get him and bring him back to the U.S. He stayed for four days and then he and I flew back there so he could get home.

These pics are from the second trip that I made there...this is a picture tour of a couple of days in Guatemala.

First of all, let me apologize for the bright yellow and incorrect date on some of the pictures...being the Gizmo Genius that I am...I had no idea of how to change this or delete it. Apparently, the camera has a mind of it's own...because towards the end of the pics, the date is correct. So, just know that these pics were taken on 9/13/05 and 9/14/05...if that really even matters.

And now...let us begin.


This is pulling out of the airport in Guatemala City...notice the pretty billboard girl...ahhh!!!


This is a hovel in Guatemala City...on the way to Matthew's house.


This is a typical Guatemala City street...very few stop lights.


This pic is actually out closer to Matthew's house and out of Guatemala City. It was raining a bit...not much. There's usually afternoon showers...which don't last very long.


This one...is us on our way to Antigua...AHHH!!!


Making a pitt-stop in Amatitlan. We needed Orange Juice and Vodka.


Typical street in Amatitlan...small and crowded.


Bikers all over the place.


Arriving in Antigua.


We begin our tour of the city. That's Matthew's backside.


Streets in Antigua are much prettier and cleaner...and they have great fountains.


One of the Old Missions


Antigua is made up of all kinds of tourist shops.


This was taken from the patio of one of the many internet cafes.


Notice the mountains and all the vibrant colors of the buildings.


Powerlines, Roofs, and Mountains.


That's an inactive volcano...which once destroyed the city of Antigua. It no longer poses a threat.


Skyline.


Skyline, buildings old and new.


Lots of church steeples.


Volcano Guava.


Notice the woman in pink with the basket on top of her head...cool.


Really cool balcony.


Inside Fridas.


A toast.


Toast II


Gallo...Guatemalan beer...yes that's a picture of a COCK!!!


Feeling good enjoying the Gallo.


Inside the men's restroom...cool door and tile.


Outside Fridas...this woman wouldn't leave us alone...wanting us to buy her stuff.


She actually thought she could charge us for getting in these pics. WTF???


Standing in Matthew's doorway.


Outside Matthew's house...in the distance, you can see an Active volcano called Fuego.

Jake:

I'm in Guatemala again...this should be the last time for quite some time I think. I had to fly back with my friend so that he could get back home. I'm here just for the night and will be back in the U.S. tomorrow.

We are going to head over to Antigua today...YAY...I'll actually be able to see it. Last week, we didn't get there until after dark. I want to check out FRIDA'S. Amanda-Jayne bought me two...not one...but two shirts from there when she was here back about a year or so ago.

Well...I'm off to the city of early Duran Duran videos...don't you know that I'm goint to let you know that fact as MUCH as possible...especially while I am here.

CIAO!!!

They'll Never Forget Us

When I was looking through some current pics that were shot recently, I came across some that Amanda-Jayne’s sister had snapped. I forgot that she had borrowed the camera for her birthday dinner.

Amongst the pictures I came across an individual who I used to hang out with and actually considered one of my friends. As it goes though, over time, we stopped hanging out with each other for various reasons and I forgot about him. We no longer spoke to each other.

Well when I came across his picture I was suddenly reminded of how much of a PRICK he was...I literally loathed being around him. He always had a bad attitude...and argued constantly and he was a huge baby. We stopped being friends and I was glad for it.

So, I had not seen or heard from him in about two years and then suddenly there was his picture...”QUEL SURPISE”...he got FAT...NICE!!!

Bad things do happen to Pricks!!!

I Never Found Out What Made You Leave

...so this came after the fact that Jao found out I was M.I.A.!!!

JAO
OH MY GOD, JAKE!!!!

Why did it take me so long to catch on? Why the hell didn't you call
me, dork? Are Amanda-Jayne, Nick, the kids with you? Are you staying with Matthew? How much did you pay for your ticket? Who else is with you? Have you found a Guatemalan hunk to love you long time? What are you doing there? How long are you staying? Why didn't you bring me with you? How's the weather? Why the hell didn't you call me, dork? What's happening? When will you be back? Do you have hairy balls? Are the rain clouds tumbling down the mountains in the late afternoon? What?...When?...How?

Here I am thinking I did something wrong that made us miss our appointment, and your twink ass is jerking off in Central America. Alright, well, I hope you have fun. Call me when you can.

Shit, I need a drink.

...funny thing is...I did jerk off in Central America...NICE!!!
