I just came back from the best guitar lesson ever and thats because i sooo played better than Mark today lol. I stayed up til like 3, not watching the news, and got up at 9, but I wasn't sleepy and tired at all as usual and i played very well. my fingers hurt very badly though, and something else involving my fingers happened but its kinda gross and if you want to know just ask, im not gonna post what happened...

Went to go see a movie with Megan, Kel, and her sister, but that didn't work out, so we went skating at the ghetto-fab palace. It was fun, I haven't gone skating just for the purpose of skating in over a year and a half. I think everyone had fun, at least I hope so...well I'm tired, but I gotta listen to the cds Megan gave me...thank you!. Bye all.

Today was alot of fun, went to hang out at the beach with a bunch of people, pat got to make his sand "castle"...went to best buy looking for a rare jethro tull dvd, couldnt find it...went to the mall, couldnt find it...now im home, and im listening to music really loud cause im all hyper, i wanna do something, even though ill probably be tired.

Yay I finally got up at 10, which is pretty late considering ive been getting up at 7 every morning in sebring. Last night I was bored so i went bowling with kel and got beat, of course ;-). Got some dinner and then went home to go and play my step dad's golf game on playstation, i dont know what made me want to do this but i played that all night, lol. Now I'm up trying to get my sportscar racing games installed on this computer.

Well, I'm back from the 51st 12 hours of Sebring and it was so much fun. My tenth year going was certainly the best, and i thought there was no way it could beat last years event.
If you don't want to read racing stuff skip this part:------

The races on Friday werent that great, my friend Randy finished 2nd in his race. A factory based Audi prototype won overall in the saturday race for the 4th year in a row, with the Champion Racing Audi(based out of WPB!) finishing 2nd for the third time. Randy's other team won its class in a Porsche 911 GT3, winning with a two lap margin of victory.
-----------------

I got into Sebring Thursday around 4, watched some practice as we set up, then walked around to go look at different merchandise and many of the little car shows set up around the track, saw the nicest 67 mustang ever, and some nice corvettes. At night went to watch this band "F-Troop" practice. Now these guys are nuts and know how to start a huge a frenzy so i didnt stay long. Got back to the camp and was surprised to see my friend Daniel who wasnt at the race last year. Friday i got up very early to watch more racing, baught a Porsche flag, put it up with my Italian and American flags. Watched Randy race, then walked over to the "spring break zone" thing and watched another really good band. Just around 5pm a mini-hurrican hit us. heavy rain 40-50mph winds and our camp was destroyed...i have pictures. by the time it stopped i was ready to go party (responsibly of course), so i went over and watched "the megaphone guy" make fun of all the beat-up cars and such. Got back and went to bed around 2. Saturday got up for the race which started at 10:30. around 12 i started walking the track. Now realize, this track is over 4 miles long, so it took me about 2 and a half hours. got back rested a while, and went back to the inside of track to watch some of the race on TV, and then back to camp to finish. around 11pm i went to another party, watched the huge bonfires and loud music that drove me nuts. 100,000 people in a small outdoor area plus cars, fires, and loud music=fun but also very much craziness. Nobody got hurt this year and generally no underage drinking which is good to see. went to bed around 1am.... I applaud anyone who read all that. I'm sorry i just love sebring so much i couldnt stop typing. I have lots of pictures if anyone wants to see them. I miss it already, but im glad im home. Oh yea, during this trip i was totally turned off to the idea of ever eating oysters due to the people in the camp next to us inhaling them during the day.

Sebring in 1 day!

Some cool Lynyrd Skynyrd quotes (not that anyone would care i guess):
\"It was [Al] Kooper\'s decision to leave on the record Ronnie saying \"turn it up\"...To this day that request is still chanted by Skynyrd\'s audience when [Sweet Home Alabama] is performed in concert.\"
\"When I was in junior high, \'American Pie\' was a very popular song...For all of us Skynyrd fans, October 20, 1977, was the day the music died.\"
\"One of these days, guys, you keep working hard like this, you\'ll have it made in the shade\" (later became inspiration for a song)
oh man, how could i forget summertime blues? thats def. gonig on the cd...and that\'ll be the day. man i forgot so much good songs...Hey Baby (would you be my girl?)...thats good for now. I havent been excited about sebring until recently so it seems weird that ill be leaving tomorrow, and we might get to stop in Daytona on Sunday if i ask hard enough..lol. I\'m gonna try and volunteer at Sunfest this year, it\'ll be fun and i get free tickets so it sounds like a good idea. I doubt anyone has read this far so i guess ill just stop now, lol. If anyone has..where is your favorite place to go on vacation? daytona and sebring for me...
