Kings Dominion & Busch Gardens!

This weekend has been really cool! It started Saturday afternoon when we decided to go to an amusement park called Busch Gardens, we had already gotten season passes so we just needed to ride down there! Their new roller coaster "Griffon" had it's premiere this weekend and together with this being a holiday weekend, the place was packed! We thought that we would stand in line for the new coaster the first thing we did, so that we was sure to get to ride it before the park closed. We got in line and waited and waited, and off course the thing broke down... people got stuck at the top, but we waited anyway and finally the ride got fixed and the line started moving again. We got on the coaster, went up, up, up, and up a small turn and then we stop. This might not seem so scary, but we are 205 feet (ca 63 meter) up in the air and the car stops half facing down. 2 seconds later the car is dropped and is flying straight down towards the ground (90 degrees angle) then under a bridge, and up in a big big loop! It was a truly awesome ride! We did ride it once more before we left and that time we were in the front seet and damn... when that car stopped at the top and we were facing down... I was scared as shit!

The day after we went a bit further to another amusement park called "Kings Dominion". A smaller park, but with more roller coasters than Busch Gardens. The first thing we noticed was that everything was so loud... They had games and stuff everywhere and in every game-stall someone was screaming into a microphone to try and attract people to come and play at their stall. Very annoying. But we kept on walking, started off with one of their wooden coasters and I didn't really like it, the reason was because it was rattling so much that it gave me a headache. After that we headed to their most extreme coaster the "Hypersonic XLC". But unfortunately it broke down as soon as we got in line. So we kept on walking, the next coaster we tried to get on was also broken down... so we went on another wooden coaster. Same thing there, rattling rattling rattling and i got a headache again. This park actually have a water park in the middle of the park, so we decided to head there to cool off in the water. We changed and started looking for a pool. We passed many slides with huge lines to them, and finally we got to a wave pool, but it was broken down... Finally we found another wave pool that was working, so we headed in and cooled off for a while! After that we went on some slides, but nothing exciting, and then we headed out to the real park again.
Once back in the park we headed for the Corkscrew coaster called Anaconda, and it was pretty cool. When we got out of that one we sat down for a while and Rick spotted a kind of hidden attraction, so we got in line and waited and waited. After a while we entered this big building that looked like a hangar, but it had a flying saucer in the middle of it and the queue line headed straight up into the UFO. When we finally got to the ride itself we saw that it was another roller coaster. We sat down in the car and after 2-3 seconds it took off. That might not sound very exciting, but the car actually launched with incredible speed straight in to darkness. The first thing the car does is going up in a loop, and after that loop our eyes was used to the darkness and we could see that we were inside a big building and the coaster's tracks were all over the place! Very cool ride!
After that things turned out a little better, the lines was not as long because it was later, and the amount of people faded a little bit. We went on a stand up coaster, which was actually pretty scary, then a wild mouse coaster that was kind of fun, and after that we took on the last wooden ride. And damn that hurt... my back was just hurting unbelievable much. But it actually got better almost as soon as we stood up. So now we only had one ride left... The Hypersonic XLC. For those of you that don't know what kind of coaster that is, I can tell you that the XLC stands for Extreme Launching Coaster. What that means is that the car's is being launched by the same mechanism that launches Jets. We stand in line for a loooooong time, and I'm starting to get more nervous for every step we take. Finally it is our turn, at this point I am kind of panicking, but I had to do it so I stayed in the car. We roll out and a voice says "ready to launch", yellow lights are flashing and then finally a green one gets lit... And off we go, and damn what we are going. The first thing that happens after the car is launched, is that you are going up a hill... a 90 degrees hill. Straight up, over a small turn and then straight down. I thought I was going to die when the car launched, it was scaaaary, once up at the highest point of the coaster I just said "fuck it" and throwed my hands up in the air, which I had been holding on to the car with for my dear life. It was awesome! Scariest shit I have ever done in my life, but damn it was awesome!

Today we actually went back to Busch Gardens again for a while, we did ride some rides, but not many, we just felt that we had nothing else to do, so we just walked around there and rode the rides that didnt have a very long ride! It was pretty cool too! Now we are home and our feet hurts like a biatch, so it's nice to lay down and just chill right now!

Here's a movie of the Hypersonic XLC (ignore the music)


Here's a movie of Griffon!

Back!

I am now back from Miami, it's pretty sad but at the same time it's kind of nice to be back in a way! This is truly my home now and it is always nice to get back home! So to sum up my visit in Miami, it was truly as I imagined it. Unbelievable beaches, crazy clubs, good looking people, good food, and palm trees everywhere! One thing that was very strange though, everybody drove so fucking slow. Maybe 10 miles below the limit, all the time... very weird.

Chongalicious = the best song ever! Try to find it, it's hillarious! They played so great music on the radio there, much better than here, so that was nice! Especially when you have a car with a great sound system! Awesome!

I am going to book my flight back to Sweden today! The 19th is the date that I will go back, and I will stay until the 17th when I will fly back here, stay one night and then fly to New York City the day after to meet up with my Swedish friends Isabelle and Fanny! That will be very cool!

Me and Rick talked about doing a road trip down to ATL (yeeeaaah), then down to Orlando and do the Universal Studios theme park, and then down to Miami again! That will be when I have gotten back from New York though, but that will probably be awesome! I definetly hope we will do that!

You who have been to Miami knows how nice it is, everybody else definetly need to check it out!!

Peace

Miami!!

I am now in Miami! We went up at 4 o clock this morning and went to the airport in Norfolk, and we just now (1:30 Pm) got to our hotel in Miami! It's super warm and humid, 30 degrees celsius, a bit cloudy right now, but that is actually kind of nice because the heat is so intense as it is. We rented a car too, we were going with a crappy boring sedan of random brand, but we traded it in for something a little more Miami-ish! A black Mitsubishi Eclipse! With sun roof and everything. Very sweet! (no extra charge either, score!!)

I didnt sleep much at all last night and neither did my roommate, so we are probably going to crash for a while before we're heading out on the streets of Miami.

Palm trees everywhere!
Out!

The best invention ever!

I actually thought my new laptop that I had to buy since my old one broke don completely (hardware problem) was the greatest invention ever made. It's an HP with an AMD Turion 64x2 processor, 2gb ram, 120 GB hard drive, Geforce GO 6150 and i bought it new for only 700 dollars!(4700 kronor). My old computor started to act up really bad, it started when my DVD-writer didn't wanted to burn DVD's any more. The day after that I had green lines all over my screen, I tried to fix it, but broke the keyboard in the process. I went to Best Buy and asked them if they could fix it, and the guy I talked to said that it was probably cheaper for me to buy a new one. So I did. Not at Best Buy though ;)

So ok, as I said I thought that the computer was the greatest invention ever made, that was until I saw a commercial for this, Tide to go! Instant stain remover! If you are at a restaurant and spill shit on you, this will help the stain go away, or if you're at a club and some drunk chick throws up on your new shirt, this will help the stain go away, or if your new shirt get's all bloody after butchering a goat, this will help the stain go away! It's the best invention ever made and I am so pissed of that I didn't come up with it. Ohh well, it's awesome anyway!

On friday I leave for Florida and it will be awesome! One weekend of partying, beaches, beatches, and sun sun sun! Very nice! After that it's less than a month and I am going back to Sweden for a while! I will stay for about a month, and then go to New York City, or that is the plan at least, and I will stick to it unless I will be choosen to go on Survivor China.

Peace

Spiderman 3 sucked, big time.

If you haven't seen the movie and don't want any spoilers, stop reading now!

Me and my roommate went to see Spiderman 3 last night, and guess what... it sucked. It started of nice, and it felt as if it could be a good movie. There was a moment where I realized I hated the movie. Spiderman/Peter fought with Harry/Green goblin jr. and knocked him out. He realizes what he's done and trying to revive Harry by doing CPR. There was only one problem, he didn't do it correctly. The only thing he did was pound on his chest, no mouth to mouth. It feels like Spiderman who saves lives every day should know how to do CPR correctly. It just felt so American to exclude a mouth to mouth since it can be concidered "gay".
After that it just went downwards, cliché after cliché and I was 2 minute before e movie in my head all the time, that's how predictible the movie was. They played it safe, veeeery safe. Except for the incredibly wrong and stiff dance scene in the middle of the movie... What was that??? It didn't fit in to the movie at all. And Tobie Maguerieiruururu (or how the hell he spells his name), he can't act... at all.
In one of the last scenes Spiderman is on his way to save MJ and when he was on his way, I leaned over to my roommate and said "Here comes the American hero" and offcourse Spiderman swings his net and land in fron of an American flag... I wanted to puke. We almost stood up and left when it was 20 minutes left on the movie, but we stayed til' the end.. and it feels as if that was a mistake.
So don't see this movie in a movie theaters, download it, or rent it when it comes out on DVD.

So a little me time. I got my grades back, and my final grades are: A in English, A in College success skills, B in History, and then a passing grade in Math (it was Math 4, so I don't get a grade in that clas, I just pass or doesn't pass). That was cool, but I actually thought I would get an A in History... ahh well... I guess I didn't deserve it, even when my friend in my english class said that he didn't do shit in his history class, didn't do any tests or anything, and still got an A... That seemed kind of unfair... but that's life I guess. (Ohh, they could use that line in the next Spiderman movie)
Now I have plans to chill for a couple of days, play some videogames, watch some reruns from America's next top model, and just heal myself from all my studying. Florida awaits in two weeks, and we actually might go to Busch Gardens (A giant amusement park) tomorrow if we have the time/energy for it!

Spidey have to do the hardest thing, before doing anything else; Forgive himself *gunshot* Hampus down...

I'm done!!

Wohooo! School is over, just got home from my last test in history! It felt like the test went good, and if I get an A on it, I will probably get an A in the whole class, which means that I have straight A's! I'm so good at this school-shit nowadays :D

So now awaits sun, videogames, chillin like a villain, florida, busch gardens, Sweden, Kings Dominion, Six Flags, New York, music recording etc. Very nice!

Speaking of videogames, I just made such a good deal! I went to Best Buy to buy Guitarr Hero 2 for the Playstation 2, but since I have a PS3 which don't have the PS2 controller output, the guitarrs wouldn't work and the whole meaning with the game is lost. So I ended up in the 20 dollar shelf and found some real classics. Shadow of the Colossus (!!!), Resident Evil 4, God of War, Kingdom Hearts 2 and Need for Speed: Most Wanted, all of those games for 100 bucks (700 kronor). Damn that was nice! So now I have a lot to do!!

Btw, the thing I wrote about in the last blog, about the bees, it turns out that Einstein probably never said what Bill Maher said he did. BUT that does not mean that the fact that bees are dying is a lie, and that it is a big problem which should be discussed more than it is now.
To supplement for that error I found this movie.



yep, it's John Kerry talking about WTC7.

But enough about that, the president is acting like an ass again. Tell me what a democracy is if the president can veto a demand by the democratic senate, elected by the people? Is that a democracy? I don't think so...

Ahh well, as I've written before, I am going back to Sweden, probably in late June and staying until around the 15th of July. So then I want to hang out with everyone, chilling in mälzide, like the old days! Very sweet!

That's all for now, I will get my result from my history test tomorrow, so I will update this post and say how it went.

Peace out!
