More Stories from England and Ireland

Thanks for tuning back in guys. Been pretty busy. Got college starting Wednesday, so I'm trying to do as much of this as possible.

Next stop on our tour of England was Oxford. Great place. The intellectuals of the world have graduated from the many universities of the city. And Bill Clinton, too. :)

Seriously, it was a little tight for space there. Everywhere you went, there were the halls of learning. Not that I minded. You can get some many bright people coming from this city who will change the world.

Stayed at Pembroke College dorm. The dining hall was similar to the Great Hall of the "Harry Potter" movies. In fact most of the "Harry Potter" series was filmed in Oxford. Great. Now I can't think of a great city without constantly feeling dirty about wanting Emma Watson.

Oxford women are total bitches. This one woman in Burger King chewed me out because she wanted to get through but I couldn't hear her and when I did I had trouble moving. Geez, I was trying. Cut me some slack. Then she has the nerve to call me rude. I was practically starring daggers at her. If it hadn't been for my friends, I was probably gonna bitchsmack that bitch. Damn, that's fun to say.

Lot of fun to watch the rowers. I seriously don't know how they do that all the time and not have a stroke in midstroke (no pun intended). I gotta hand it to those guys. They work really hard.

More tomorrow.

My time's up, you've been great. For the road: Pink "Stupid Girls"

Stories of the UK and Ireland

You've heard the stories of London. Now here's the rest of my adventures.

Bath. The name says it all, like "Snakes on a Plane." It's the Roman baths that are the main attraction here. Not exactly clean, but what do you expect after 2,000 years? Pretty nice spot.

Oh, and the water at the adjacent Pump Room. Don't drink it. Remember camping as a child at one of those campgrounds where there are cabins with electricity and air conditioning? Remember the drinking fountains there? That's what the water tastes like.

The streetlamps there were given to the city by the producers of "Vanity Fair" for their accomadation for those making the movie. Great. Now I can't think of a World Heritage Site without thinking of a certain Oscar winner with a foot fetish.

Saw the Stonehenge. No alien conspiracy here, guys. Built by the Druids to mark the winter soltice as the time of death. Tell your friends that. Oh, and how about rocks from IRELAND?! Yeah, you heard me.

More tomorrow.

My time's up, you've been great. For the road: Matisyahu "King Without A Crown"

Random Thoughts of the Week

Guess who's back, back again gain, 313's back back, tell a... *WHACK!* Boo, bad Eminem impersonator! Hooray blogging!

If you must know where I've been, I've been settling this feud between the Mac and the PC.

Alright, alright. Seriously now. I'm supposed to be telling the world that I am NOT romantically involved with Lance Bass.

Fine, I'll give the (insert the diety of your choice here, or if you're an athesist, you own name)'s truth. Been out to the United Kingdom and Ireland. Details? Sure, I'll provide them.

First stop, merry ol' London. I may be a tourist, but it was great. The history, the prestige, the murders... Oh wait, that was the Jack the Ripper tour. My mistake.

Why didn't anybody tell me Big Ben didn't have an Afro?

Two views I highly recommend. One being St. Paul's Cathedral. Right in downtown, it goes for miles. Of course, it can only be topped by the Millenium Eye on the Thames River. From the top, you can see the countryside.

WHAT NOT TO DO: Know those guards in the red coats who are supposed to stand still? Never use their hats as Q-Tips.

Though I bet we get some reaction from them if Jen were to show them her headlights.

Saw the play "Blood Brothers" at the Pheonix Theatre. Next time you're in London, check it out. Low-budget show, but definitley high-quality acting.

WHAT NOT TO DO II: The Tower of London is a wonderful spot. OK, so there was torture going on there way back when, but still great. Anyways, don't be like the dumbasses who were behind me and my friends feeding the ravens there. They're about as big as a small dog and vicious too.

More from the British Isles later.

Victor, sorry man. I was hoping you'd contact me before I left. Damn. You know what, if you come to Detroit one day, you and me, just hanging out. Promise it.

Saw the preview for "Snakes on a Plane." After seeing one snake crawl into a kitty kennel and, well, I'll let you figure that out, I'm certainly glad Sugar and Zoe have problems just traveling to the vet. Then again, I wouldn't take them on a plane anyways.

Butch, I challenge thee to a CSSA writer's duel. Winner is once and for all PROPERTY OF K. BELL.

Oh yeah, the Great American Bash. Finlay and Ashley were my only bright spots. (NOTE: I changed my Gregory Helms pick to Matt Hardy when I found who he was facing. Dumbass!) So that drops me to 39-44. No, Butch, I'm not going to stop.

My time's up, you've been great. For the road: James Blunt "You're Beautiful"
