To be young again

I just watched this show, SKINS, earlier and it made me wanna be 15 again.

(Update! BBC has disabled the embedding of this clip so if you wanna see it , and trust me you do, just click on the clip and it'll take you straight to youtube.)

Then I remember what I looked like at 15.

Johnny & Hamburg

The other night i got a chance to video chat with a buddy of mine who's been in Chicago for a while now. Johnny, a copywriter, and i went to school together in Miami and then abroad in Hamburg, DE. This fucker's still one of the funniest dudes i know.

We had a great time in Germany, of course. I was then 21yrs old, living in another country for the first time, and bunking with a seasoned drinker from Buffalo, NY. uh-oh.

Here are some highlights of what i still deem my 'Coming Of Age' period.
We lived in a studio apartment, our landlord hated us (she even accused us of throwing beer bottles off of our balcony), and we had NO wifi.

I forgot what bet i lost but i got the inflatable for 3mos.
...all we ate was chicken breast (butter fried), potatoes, and bier. Oh, and sometimes pasta. Constipation was rampant.
Some weekends i ventured off with a buddy's camera.
This is still one of my favorite photos:
This is Mia, the 'other' fellow American from Miami Ad School. We held Hamburg's very first Bus Olympics.
Im always missing Hamburg.....and i NEVER made it to Berlin (next year, next year). The experience was invaluable to my design education and my drinking stamina.

win/win.

Borelando, revisited.

Since we had to drive through Central Florida we segwayed off the interstate in my old neighborhood: Altamonte Springs.

I moved there my freshman year of highschool.
That's the building that's been under construction since i 2000. teehee.

Here's that mall where i got all my game.....i also bought a lot of shit from Hot Topic.Here's the last place The Innocent Family resided together....now we're scattered across the states.'Downtown Orlando'And the obvious:It was SO nice seeing all this after such a long time. Next time i'll drag The Wife and we'll point and giggle together.....maybe a lil Epcot action, too.
