who says men can't do their own cooking?

well, tonight my parents were away, so i had to make my own dinner. (thank god i can cook!) the hotdogs were a great success, but set off the fire alarm... stupid bacon grease. always creates tons of smoke.. but it still tasted good. hot dogs, root beer, a little "Flogging Molly" to listen to, and a house full of smoke.... i love being alone at home.

Beach

Hit the beach today with the family, the bro's gf, and a friend of mine. water was a little cold, but still fun. bro's gf has to wear goggles and nose plugs, which we love to make fun of her for. lol. spent the time swimming, walking the breakwall, and checking out some of the local scenery with my friend bill. lol. yeah... one of the upsides of being a bachelor is you can check out chicks without getting in loads of trouble. lol. not really in to it, but i like to joke around. also learned i have phenomenal balance. using a seesaw standing up and not using any hands isn't nearly as difficult as it sounds, and it's really fun if you get it going fast enough. lol

indiana jones isn't the only one who runs on top of trains....

so, there's some old railroad tracks close to my house. every once in a while there will be a small set of train cars left abandoned on the tracks,which will then disappear a few days later. so sometimes i'll climb up and sprint across the tops... but then i thought, "why is this abandoned here for a few days in the first place? why couldn't the one train take it all the way?" if anyone could enlighten me, i would be greatly obliged.

crossing over and under

well, this is my first blog. i don't have the most interesting life, so what do i do? i get a blog. lol but i can drag a blog out of nothing... i hope. lol

Well, today i hung out downtown with a friend of mine, and discovered a water pipe (more aptly named a tunnel... it had a diameter of at least 8 ft.) that we believe runs underneath NY 104, a.k.a "Bridge street". will have to explore more before final analyses though... will also have to bring flashlights. there is no light at the end of this tunnel. lol
