Six months late!

So after all of us decided that one of the ways we would stay connected was via this blog we haven't had a post since my last one at the end of the summer... Anyway, Jordan and I were recently talking about all the stuff we missed about the last few years and what we look forward to during our breaks and starting making a list. So I expanded on it a little and invite you guys to add as much as you want. It was kind of fun putting together and it has gotten me excited for the upcoming break and summer. So here is some of my fonder memories of hanging out with all of you guys.

• Filling up the ammo can.
• Drawing on the fridge.
• Playing darts.
• Making dry ice bombs.
• Killing birds.
• Avoiding falling debris in the backyard.
• Playing COD.
• Arguing over what to do then realizing we’re all too broke to do anything.
• Spending an hour on figuring out where to go to lunch and then winding up at Chipotle…again.
• Discuss who smokes the “better” cigarette.
• Hookah.
• Snappa!
• Beer Pong tournaments.
• Kegs.
• Icing people.
• Caravanning to parties.
• Cases of forties.
• Arguing over who didn’t pay.
• Calculating Cohen’s actual beer count.
• Watching you idiots figure out you’re Eskimo brothers….since that never happened to me.
• Making girls cry at Coffee Garden.
• Avoiding fights with angry poor people, getting approached for a cigarette, eight ball or “knock knock” at Temple.
• Backyard parties.
• Glow in the dark nights.
• Wrecking Julian’s house.
• Plastidipping.
• Getting way too fucked up on school days with Morrison.
• Racoon watching on Cundiff’s roof.
• Having Jonas around.
• Being amazing at how diligent you fuckers are when it comes to getting high.
• Making fun of “Voice”.
• Thanking Drue for paying for our beer.
• Hearing Julian’s car coming…from four blocks away.
• Cracking a beer within ten minutes of getting out of school on Fridays…and some Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays…
• Actually having fun at school with Jack, Ben and Kalen and then hearing about how much “fun” the CB guys had that day.
• Going out to lunch during school.
• Cigarette breaks on 17th.
• Getting called out by that middle aged angry white guy in a POS Toyota Echo for “almost causing an accident”
• Neighbors calling the cops or me…
• Attempting to drift after rain.
• Listening to Green Onions on repeat for an hour.
• McDonalds/Taco Bell runs.
• Comparing fakes.
• Trips to SF for the soul purpose of getting hammed.
• The feeling you get when the fridge gets restocked.
• Getting you guys to help me take in the groceries.
• Going to Tahoe for ten hours to get drunk, wake up early and then get a ticket on the way home.
• Morning Beers.
• Talking about “the forums”.
• Second Saturdays…if we made it.
• Getting thirty calls from you guys when I’m with Taryn.
• Hating on everyone who wasn’t us.

Add away!

My two weeks is over...

These last two weeks have flown by and have been a ton of fun but as always I am looking forward to coming home. Unfortunately, I did not end up being able to go to Jordan which I was looking the most forward to photographing. I am unhappy with almost all of my pictures this trip but here are a few of Dahab on the Red Sea, Jerusalem and Tel-Aviv. Enjoy and see you soon.

Supppp,

I have been here for six days now and will leave in two for Jordan. For the first time in all of my travels I have been struggling to take decent pictures so I apologize in advance for the mediocre ones posted below. The atmosphere here is the same as most big cities in the developing world. Loud, dirty, exciting and a ton of fun. And as always, it's almost a death wish to cross the street but it's kind of fun, just make eye contact and run for your life. The street food here is very good as well but there is less of an assortment as some other countries I have been to and I think I'll hit a McDonalds just for all times sake. Being that McDonalds is usually associated with inebriation (in my case...a lot) the beer here is pretty good as well. They also have this drink called "ID" which is like ten percent Smirnoff Ice, it's ok... Anyway, hope all is well at home. I'll post once from Jordan and near the end of the trip in Israel.

San Diego, June 2010

It's 2 a.m. and I graduate tomorrow; the things I do for "the blog".
My sister graduated from UCSD so this is the trip down there. I ate a ton of bomb ass food and a shit load of wheat beer with every meal. I hit up two stores: Un|Steady and Fowler's. Un|Steady was denim heavy while Fowler's had a ton of WESKZ AND LIKE BRIXTONS N SHIT. I also picked up an autographed copy of Shepard Fairey's Supply and Demand hiding in the San Diego Museum of Art. Come up!!!!!!




















Love,
Jack

Jordan's Trip to Hawaii

Though we don't usually allow others outside of Ahdope's three creators to post we've decided to put some pictures of Jordan's trip to Hawaii he took last week. Enjoy.

Tahoe

Another routine trip up to David's cabin. While this time didn't include all of the "regulars" we all still had fun, some more than others... (starts with a "G" end with a "wen") The highlights had to be the great weather, beautiful night sky and Julian getting clocked in the face.
