how crazy. this was taken right after the crash, it looks like there's only one employee there, and a bunch of rattled regular people. no officials yet.
i bet some of those folks will never go back--especially the younger kids... how scary for the little kids. leave a fireworks show and crash on the monorail? then end up with a dead driver. damn. sounds like a day in soul- world... not disneyworld .
anyhow - it's obvious the dude who took the clip wasted NO time selling it-- it already has a commercial in the beginning.

so. i spose i should move on to other things. i haven't cruised around much yet today. it was late by the time any of us got to sleep here, which meant -- even I slept til 10 a.m. might sound good for a minute-- but when ya fall asleep at 3 a.m, it's about average for most.
anyhow--- yesterday; i was hell bent on the family goin to watch fireworks--- somewhere. i bet i spent over an hour trying to find a place that we wouldn't have to drive an hour or two to get to. i finally found a place that was only about 15 or 20 minutes away. they seemed to have a lot goin on, so that's where i picked for us to go. it was also held at a park that we have fished at a few times, and i knew the rest of the soul-clan would do nothing but complain about the heat after the first twenty minutes; so i went out there at like 230 or so. the way they had it written up in the website and online, i thought it was gonna be wall to wall people. well. there were a lot of people... but they were smart enough to not come out til the sun went down. we could have waited til 8 or 9 o'clock and still sat in the same perfect spot we had. that i smoltered in for HOURS. like i said... i had thought i would fish , etc. did i? sure i did. for about ten minutes. the sun was blazin hot, and all the shade was too far from the water to fish from it. so i just people watched-- and got ate by ants and mosquitos. i also watched several children abuse ducks. i wanted to throw rocks at them but there weren't any. at the kids--- not the ducks. i'm not much into the people watchin thing. well i am.... when i'm actually around people, but most of you know-- that isn't very often. especially lately. as in like the last year . longer than that, but this last year things have gotten bad again.
anyways. it amazed me how many kids can be mean to animals. so what if they're just ducks and pigeons? they have feelings too. and kids were stomping and yelling at them, and throwin stuff at them. it was just strange. and i noticed the kids in groups...like if there were 3 or 4 kids... only one would do this stuff and the others kinda separated themselves from it. they would walk ten or twenty feet away and do something different, not even looking at the other kid scare the animals.
that part made me think of other human behaviours ; like when older kids are in a bad situation.. like around drugs or something-- many will just get outta there-- move away-- leave-- go to the other side of the room or leave the place alltogether.
at least some do. anyhow -- just the psychologist in me i guess. it was interesting. and also irritating.
anyhow--- the rest of my family appeared there to meet me between 630 and 7. maybe 630-ish. BOTH of them were whining about the heat , and being uncomfortable within the first half hour they were there. i tried to just bite my tongue, and not make it about me. and y'all would be proud. i think i did good. later on i even managed to pull some sympathy out of me for them. even though.... oh nevermind. they brought me ribs. and i was starving to death.
the fireworks show really was amazing. it lasted short of a half hour. i really think that's the longest show i have maybe ever seen. it was great. and they were set off to music. soulkid really enjoyed it. at least that part. the whole other time... it was.. when are they gonna do the fire works??? every ten minutes. soulman wasn't quite as bad-- but he ran a close second. thank God they had a live band playing--- i can only imagine how bored they'd have been if we were sittin in the heat in silence.
we decided we'd go next year--- but we also decided we won't go so early. especially me. no no no no. i think i baked my brain a bit.
hope y'all had fun... no hangovers? no tigers in the bathroom, or missing teeth? :))
( you'd only get that if you saw the movie--sorry)
you gotta see the movie. hangover. it's great
and i am outta heah

hurry up and wait. you know how it is.
DD--
you'd be surprised at what i find-- even when i aint lookin :))
i remember-- vaguely seeing fireworks at disneyland when i was a kid-- it was awesome. only saw it once i think. that might be the time my cousin ripped off michaels toenail with the bathroom door. ugh!
laterz
right here sophie :)))
checkin in
just busy and hot round here.
whatchoo doin?
ummm.. that would be JULY 13th.
senile, you know.
I agree about "The Hangover". Great summer movie. No hangovers for me! Just a sprained toe from playing volleyball. lol
I hate to see people teasing animals too, even if they're just pigeons.
did you have a short sale.. its going real quik!!!
hi J LEE wanna go throw rocks at the little brats? at first i thought they were from some kind of hospital, or ADHD -- cuz i noticed wrist bands, and they were a bit over-hyper... then it occurred to me-- the wrist bands were prolly from the little water park thing they had there. duh. LOL. yep, i'm a bit slow. but they sure weren't. just energetic perhaps.
there were a couple who were particularly odd tho. :))
(it was at the bedford ranch.)
long drive for y'all i know-- but it was awesome. oughtta try it if ya move this direction)
how's the toe?
toes and fingers really suck.. not much you can do about em. hope it heals fast!
have a great day-
are we gonna have our back to school celebration again ??? :))
when does school start anyhow? i never know anything! is it the 25th?
DD -- nope not a short sale.. and it feels like for-evah. could be quick...i don't know. how long did it take for you?
i don't think we can even move in til the 7th of august cuz THEY asked to extend their move OUT. but they're gonna pay... unfortunately-- that means WE have to pay to stay here too. that's alright tho-- we could use the extra time. we are behind in packin and stuff.
happy thursday.
it IS thursday?
It pisses me off when kids abuse animals, too. Where were their parents?
Glad that you had a good time, even with the heat.
We didn't watch the big fireworks show in our town... just the little ones in our neighboorhood. We had a little guy (2 1/2) with us. We mainly just chased him all weekend;)
