Bahamas: Now With Movies

Filed under Homework Blues, Picture-y Goodness, Tests Suck, Vacation, Video-Goodness //

So, I thought I had all of the pictures from this trip, but dammit Internet I have a confession to make: I forgot about Lauren’s pictures! I figured I didn’t include NEARLY enough ridiculous pictures of myself, so below is an assortment of the best of the worst pictures of myself. Except for one, and I didn’t include it.

Now, before I start, I would just like to say that I can neither confirm nor deny the involvement of tequila in any and all of the below pictures.

Click on any picture to enlarge it

As Lauren and I were walking along the beach, we came across a HUGE slab of wood jutting up from the sand. It looks like a log so I hopped up on it and walked across it heal-to-toe, saying in a dramatically slurred voice: “No ossifer, I am nooooo drinky”

I would like to note here that although the temperature of the Bahamas was about 80 degrees the entire time we were there, the ocean temperature was about FIFTY degrees. Although Lauren dared me to run into the ocean multiple times because she wanted a pictures, I said that pretending to run to the ocean would have to do. Thus, the above picture was born, and I so caption it: “TO THE OCEAN, Batman!”

Alright, alright, I’ll admit that I lied a bit in my introduction. This is one of the best pictures that Lauren took of me during this trip, annddd I had to include it so that you know and understand that we really act normal. Sometimes. Okay, so right after that pictures we took this one:

In this one I am appropriately looking like “WHERE IN THE HELL IS MY CAMERA?!”. Because it was really bright when I took that picture and really windy so we were both caught off-guard. Ah, Bahamas, I will miss you!

And last but not least I have quite possibly the best movie I have ever recorded. Below is the exact transcript of the 10-second movie if you can’t hear what we are saying.

Me: (Quoting Lauren) “I don’t care what Obama eats, as long as it’s not people”

Lauren: “I don’t…As long as it’s not people.”

Me: “We’re watching CNN, the end”
