1/7/07****************************************************** ********************************************* i would like everyone to know that yesterday, I , ronald william whaley, got a hole in one on the 18th bonus hole at neptune kingdom's mini golf (where you turn in the ball). that baby went straight in too. free round of mini golf and bragging rights for life.******************************************************* *********************************************2/2/07 so i was at mc donalds on thursday and they kind of took a long time on my order considering how empty it was. i wasn't sweating it though, we've got a pretty sweet mc d's on mission st... the manager calls me amigo and that makes me feel good. so i just sat back and waited for the staff to explain exactly which cookies were the freshest to an overly inquistive and fairly obese customer. whatevs... well my patience paid off big time cause when i got home and popped open my box of nuggets i saw something that was straight out of my childhood dreams. 7 nuggets. thats right. 7 since i had a full meal already and figured i could spread the love, i gave my housemate evan my sixth nugget. the seventh was for me. these weren't your average nuggets either. i quote evan: "This is the best nugget I've ever had in my life." Yup. Looks like things are coming up roses for ronald in 07.

Heroes:

one time we were at the chevron on ocean st.. a car came speeding down the hill and ran straight into the gas pump across from us. it exploded into little bits but wasn't on fire yet. the driver was unconscious and his car was on top of the mess that used to be a gas pump. fumes engulfed the car but we didn't wait around for them to ignite, we ran the other way. right then we heard honking and it was a tercel trying to cross trafic. it was mother's day and ocean st was crowded. the driver made it across and drove into the chevron parking lot. he charged right up to this unstable accident, jumped out of the car with a fire extinguisher and started laying into a small fire under the hood of the crashed car. i'm pretty sure he saved that guys life. the chevron employees never left the safety of their building. i read in the sentinel the next day that the guy in the tercel worked at the 76 across the street. he said when he frist saw the fumes he thought "the whole block was going to go." that's when he immedietly grabbed the extinguisher, got into a car that they were working on and charged the fire. we ran. he rushed it. i remember thinking 'that guy is an actual hero.'

blown out road trip

Well, it finally caught up to me. For over ten years I've been going on skate trips, lurking in the back of the van, complaining. "Stop at the liquor store." "Why are we here." "I call bed." "I'm hu...
