i like rest stops in the middle of nowhere.

you can often score speed, and honestly, you haven't lived until you've sucked cock at gun point in a dirty, piss smelling, public restroom.

What are you trying to do? Beach trip? You trying to get smashed drunk? Laid?

What are you looking for specifically?

You can stay at a hotel for $100/night cash right near South Beach. It's by Jerry's Deli.

toronto. great city. check out the CN tower and the hockey hall of fame. If you've got time, swing by niagara falls.

pointing the camera at the glass floor of the CN tower:

the main showroom of the hall (note the stanley cup in the background.)

i dunno if you were intending to mock me, but well done haha, not kidding.
but yes i should have been more specific, i forgot to mention i was thinking mostly international travel, and preferably a whole new experience all together

man that floor must really add something to the experience, i'm honestly getting nervous just looking at the picture

And actually, if you havent been to San Francisco, I suggest you go. I consider it the most beautiful big city in the world, and theres TONS of shit to do.

SF Fun Fact: If you went to 3 diffeent restaurants everydays, one for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, it would take you 11 years to go to all of them.

that's funny actually, the greek islands made for one of the best vacations of my life, and i was only 12, so yea now would be amazing. fortunately i live 40 minutes from sf, so i get to see a lot of it, but i agree about it being amazing. full of new experiences; for instance saw my first crack deal a few weeks ago, and second, and third... this guy was dealing outside a the hooka bar, quite funny...

what countries have yall been to, anyway?
my list:
America,
Germany,
Canada,
mexico (I didnt stop capitalizing them intentionally with mexico, im just lazy.)
guatemala, belize and honduras in the same trip
greece, turkey, israel in one
thailand, burma(oddly now mayanmar), and laos in one.
costa rica
england
france
switzerland
belgium.
a few more if you count airports
i was pretty young though for a most of the european countries, and i dont remember much of them at all.

my favorite vacation spot is my living room. it contains everything i could ever want/need.

i have no desire to go any further than that. it is my goal to never leave this country, and not leave this state unless it's for work or to locate to another permanently or at least semi-perm.

bangkok for newyears was pretty amazing, very party intensive, by far the best i've ever had, i usually tend to think of spring break places as having beaches though, and i didnt get to that part of thailand. it was deffinitely up to par in the number of drunk young adults, though, when it comes to spring break destinations

actually the funniest thing happened new years eve, i was out at a bar with a bunch of people from our tour group, all pretty young, we were all really drunk, like everybody else, and at one point some american guy came up to our table and asked if we wanted to buy some shoes; he looked pretty drunk. not only did we not need shoes, but these were old, ragged, dirty sneakers. so we declined, and he went continued about the bar, and then back out into the street, asking everybody he saw that spoke english. that was when we noticed that he, himself, was not wearing shoes....

I've been to Dallas--it rated a meh from me. For a college town I really enjoyed Denton (30 miles away). Portland really doesn't even belong in this conversation. Really great city to live in/raise a family, some cool people, but it's beauty is in its livability. Architecture and things for outsiders to do? Not so much. It's parks are probably up there with the best in the country, but buildings, clubs, bars and whatever usual metric you'd compare a city on? Not so much. What I'm saying is stay the fuck out--we don't want noobz.

I really love Vancouver BC with all of its tall thin architecture, the ocean, the mountains, skiing on the municpal bus line--I'd move there if it weren't for it being another country. I also was really impressed with Buffalo--it's architecture looked like it jumped right out of Silver Age DC comics and it had a lot of old industrial money feeling. Too bad its sort of falling apart economically. It would be a cool place to move if you wanted a blank canvas to do what you want in a downtown area. I felt about 10 times safer hanging out downtown there than I ever do in Detroit.

George Bush is just one guy from Texas, I don't know anyone who thinks that all Texans are drooling monkey-faced idiots. In my experience it's considered to be remarkably forward-thinking for the South.

I have two cousins from Texas and my brother got his education there. One is an experimental physicist (not anywhere near your field ano) and the other is a gynecologist. Their dad was a meteorological researcher/prof. My uncle-in-law worked in jet propulsion. The world would be better though if the evil doers would do us all a favor and wipe Houston off the face of the earth.
