The Net Monkey

Sometimes I have this weird mental block where I have zero motivation to update this blog because I am thinking that it’ll be difficult to write up something. Of course, whenever I actually sit down and start typing, I’m usually not lacking anything to say.

Anyway, I was in Ohio about three weeks ago, meeting up with my friend Steve (who lives in San Francisco, but is from the Akron area in Ohio) and heading up to Cedar Point in Sandusky.

• Drove to the Akron, Ohio, area Friday, August 26, after work.
• The friends of Steve’s who were going on the trip were significantly younger and straight, so it was a bit strange being around those guys, especially at first. I always feel awkward when I’m thrown in to a group of people I don’t know.
• Cedar Point itself was a lot of fun, but every roller coaster gave me a huge headache and there wasn’t much that could get rid of it.
• The Top Thrill Dragster is fucking amazing and scary as hell. We were going to do it, but time was not on our side, so we skipped it.
• On Sunday, I went with Steve and his friend Cory down to the north end of Columbus to this car club at Alum Creek State Park. It was on the way home, for me, and turned out to be a lot of fun.
• We swam in Alum Creek Reservoir.
• So, after the meeting in the park, the car club guys decided to head to Hooters. Steve and I weren’t feeling the Hooters vibe, so we decided to to go the mall nearby. Go figure, right? We hit this chocolate shop and talked for a while. It was nice.
• Afterwards, I took Steve back to Hooters to meet up with Cory and came back home.

Lastly, here’s a video I made of the Dragster.

Freaky, eh?

All-in-all, it was a very good trip. It was a lot of fun spending time with Steve and his friends.
