The pope touched me down under.

So world youth day has come to a close and all the crazy people are finally leaving. it has been such a riot having them all here. i will never forget the hasslings, both day and night. like, all the youthers trying to give us high fives and us giving them the old psych! or the time when they'd force us off the street because of their sheer numbers. i will miss them all greatly now they have all returned back to their corners of the world so they can return to sniffing the glue in the spines of their bibles.

This was a pretty fantastic weekend to end week-five. it was a rather long weekend since it seemed to have started on wednesday with the opening of dark knight and then ended last night with a second screening of dark knight. That movie is so fucking amazing on an IMAX screen, and what's even better is that this screen is the largest in the world, so what we saw was absolutely jaw-dropping. good thing we wore diapers.

Now these transweekend movie experiences were just the bread of this meaty sandwich. Friday most of us took the day off so we could go do whatever for the day, so we got up, had breakfast and walked through the streets since they were closed for WYD. That night was really interesting...but ill leave that to memory.

Saturday we saw another rugby game and then got to party with the players there after. real nice guys. On our way between the game to the venue, my good boy ryan thought it would be cool to hit up the local skate park in his wheelchair. he wiped out after dropping in on a ramp. so let me paint this picture for you... we are all standing around the skatepark as ryan does his trick and falls. we all start laughing as this group of children and their mom (mum) approches...

kids: "why are you guys laughing?"

mom: "this is terrible"

me: "its cool, we are american"

and thats how that situation was settled. as for the loves in my life...oporto is the best chicken ever, and the strip roll meal is the greatest thing you can do for yourself, even if it is three separate times in a 6 hour period.
