it's hot
i can't go outside in the middle of the afternoon here in coalinga because i'm afraid of melting. it's so hot that when i go collect the mail around 2 p.m. (which is about 12 steps from my front door) i actually begin to sweat, it's amazing. i think that the weatherman lies when he says it'll be 98 degrees (whoa the boy band!) that it will really be about 10 degrees hotter. maybe i'm just being a little wussyboy but it seems as the sun begns to rip your skin gradually with more exposure. even the southern california weather was hot, yesterday at six flags magic mountain i think i actually got a little burned, who knows? but it was definitely HOT. despite the nearly unbearable weather conditions i had a kick ass time. erika and i tried getting on as many rides possible, i think we got on about 8. hmmm let's see if i could remember....1) viper 2) X 3) roaring rapids 4) riddler's revenge 5) tidal wave 6) goliath 7) scream 8) superman .....i think that's pretty much it. i definitely had a good time. i think X was my favorite ride, or at least the drop was the best i've ever been on. deja vu wasn't operating that day, which sucked but it's ok, just gives us more incentive to go back. scream was definitely an awesome 'coaster because of the high velocities. goliath is huge! and riddler's revenge is classic, it'll always be one of my favorites. it was a long day, we got soaked at times and we also nearly died of heat exposure. at the end of the day we drove back with sore feet, sore backs and empty stomachs. we then stopped at mcdonald's, which was kinda gross. but i wasn't too selective of the food. yesterday would have been a good day...but i had too many run-ins with stupid people, for example: stupid magic mountain employees, stupid mcdonald's employees and just stupid people everywhere. it was somewhat discouraging, i felt my i.q. dropping around such a large amount of dumb people. but i just held back and kept my mouth shut, i didn't want to make the day worse. and it was funny today becasue i actually saw a mcdonald's commercial while i was watching a discovery channel program about six flags magic mountain. the show actually showed the places and exact store when i was confronted by these "stupid people". i didn't really think about it until now, haha, i guess it was kinda funny in a weird way. ok well i better get back to business, i mean i really have to find a place to live or else i'm gonna have to drop out! jk. i woudln't drop out but i really gotta find a place to live. peace!
