driving some 1100 miles from here to detroit and back. yes on thursday we drove the 5 hours to pittsburgh, then at 5 am [yes 5 in the freaking morning] we left pittsburgh to drive up to detroit for my cousins wedding that was the same day. the day after the wedding we woke up early and drove back to pittsburgh, rested there and then this morning drove from pittsburgh home.

i didn't really mind though because i got to drive for most of it, and i got to drive the soobie [subaru] so it was a really nice and comfortable ride.

i did mind the wedding service though, because really now i know exactly how i don't want my wedding to be. because really my cousins service was the most fucked up wedding i've ever seen, and ever hope to see.

what was wrong with it? oh mostly the fact that before the wedding started he "warmed up" the audience by making everyone sing the hymms we were to sing during the cermony, and had he not gotten enough people to sing along he wouldn't have started the damned thing. then to make it even weirder he told everyone to not take pictures, we had also been told the night before that if anyone was to take pictures he'd stop the wedding entirely. yea it was that kind of a wedding, weird; and then some.

basically because of his goofyness he took all the focus from the bride/groom and put it all on himself. it was so retarded that not a single person was crying after it was all over, now what kind of a wedding happens where no one cries!?

thankfully the reception afterwards more than made up for it, mostly because everyone consumed copious amounts of alochol. though my aunt, who is probably 70 [maybe older i can't remember], said during the pre-game drinking going on in her and my other aunts room that she wanted to "get plastered" i swear she actually said she wanted to get plastered. not get drunk, or drink a lot, but get plastered. that's how fucking rad my aunt is, be jealous.

another good thing about the trip, the purchasing of fireworks. not just a few mind you, more like a cubic assload of fireworks. try so much that the store gave us more than 300 dollars in free fireworks because we're that cool. so really the 4th of july will be so awesome here it'll be hard to live up to it in future years. oh yea and what did we get? oh well only everything that's illlegal in the state of virginia. mortars, tubes, aerial repeaters, bottle rockets, roman candles, firecrackers, and of course some fountains. so really we have every single base covered.

finally i'd like to state that michigan is fucking retarded for not allowing left hand turns. i mean really, why the hell do you make people go a block or two past the road you want to turn left on, do a u-turn and then have people turn right? it has to be the most retarded thing i've ever seen.
