everybody hates bugs...

before i start, i have a disclaimer.  are you ready?  are you ready for the disclaimer that i have for you?  are you sure that you're ready?  because i don't know if you're ready for it.  i'm afraid that it will blow your mind.  literally, your mind just might be blown.  i don't want you to blow it...by "it" i mean your mind of course.  well...i've got some news that's gonna make you scream, holler, and jump for joy...and the batteries are not included.  i just "lol"ed.  okay, you dragged it out of me...i have like eight blawgs of information just jammed in my head from everything that's gone down for the past four days.  i can't wrap my mind around how to organize it, so this may be a bit random, although i'm gonna try...

so, the bestest thing by far that's happened to me so far on my cross country adventure has been my side trip to see "james."  who is james?  i'm not gonna lie...he's the best thing to hit the streets since the scion xb.  if jerome is brilliant (which he is), james is awesome.  we met last year when it my first time here.  he was my trainer.  i was sat somewhere randomly in the room, as we all were, and for whatever reason i was talking about something to someone else, and he came up to me and introduced himself:

james: hi, are you wesley?
me: yes.
james: great.  i'm james, i'm gonna be your strand trainer this week.
me: okay.
james: cool, well i'm looking forward to it.  see you in a bit.
me: okay.

get this...after we became BFFs, he told me that his first impression of me was that i was a total douche.  i just couldn't believe it.  why would...scratch that...how could anyone think that this wesley could be anything but what i am?  and what i am not is a douche.  anyway...that blew over and he quickly realized the error of his ways.  he saw that i was in fact, cool beyond comparison.  so, he's like the big brother that i never had, and i got to see him this past weekend.  i finally met the wife in-law, "red," and...and...my godson.

obviously the idiot on the left is james.  the boy is my godson.  he's hilarious, and he makes the best faces.  he was crawling around, and his hand slipped on a shirt so he pretty much face planted.  he came up with the most interesting face i've seen in a while.  it made me lol.  james and i spent pretty much the whole weekend playing heroclix, which for some strange reason i had never known.  how could i have never known about this game?  it was awesome.  james gave me a present...my very first heroclix.  it's john stewart, the black green lantern.  he's great, and now so am i.  i was sad to leave them, but the show must go on.  james tried to make fire.  i wanted to post video of it, but it never happened, and the only thing i got to see was how thousands of insect bites look.  good god, mosquitoes love dark meat...or rather they love succulent, juicy, moist, tender, delicious roasted meat.  what can i say?

so that was my trip with james.  he's got the coolest man cave, but it's an attic.  it's a man-attic.  pure greatness.

out,
