COLLEGE Hey everyone, I have a bunch of pictures down below, but in the event my awesome pictures aren't good enough for you, and you love other people more than me, then here are some other college pictures of other people and their nutty escapades. So I made separate pages for everyone who sent me a picture, some obviously have more than others. Biz's pictures As of now, I only have one picture (unless I added more and didn't update this), but there are plenty of pictures of Biz in the Lopez section. Libby's pictures Here are a bunch of pictures of Libby and some other high rollers. A lot of these are with Erin, and Jill, Bryceson and Mike make cameo appearances, along with some UCSD peeps. Marc's pictures I've got a few here and there from Marc and some of his Duquesne friends. Marta's pictures A lot of these date back to before we all left for college. There are some pictures from Beth's party, and then some from when we saw Britta off. Silas's pictures Here are some pictures of Cal Tech Silas. He also gave me some new pictures of the arrest, so go to the Final Days section to see the two new ones. Winter Break 2001-2002. These are some pictures that I took during break. So czech them out for pictures of a random evening in my basement, or of skiing, or of my snowshoeing adventure. A So Cal camping trip. Here are some pictures of all the So Cal crew. We have Silas, Libby, Jill, Erin, Bryceson, and Ian makes a cameo appearance. Looks like good times. . . check it out. Well, I'm finally here. Classes didn't start till October 1st, but it's all good, cuz here I am, and good lord it's gorgeous. So anyways, I'm gonna try and take pictures with my digital throughout the year. Unfortunately, my computer/camera is being bitchy so it might be a while before I can post the pictures I've taken. For starters, I have a bunch of pictures of the campus. So if you're interested in the architecture of UW (as I know you all are) or you wanna see how good of a photographer I am, then go to my campus link. Well I had to jump through all sorts of hoops, but I finally got my pictures onto my computer, and I can finally show you some of what's been going down here at the U. So enjoy. . . 3/19: Ok, well it's been a long time coming, as Silas keeps informing me. But I have various pictures of all sorts of exciting things. First we have some awesome pictures of me at ski and at play at Big White Mountain in Canada. Then we have some pictures from the aquarium, and then some pictures from the zoo. Mixed in with two pictures of me and Amber. So czech it out. Amber and I at the Cheesecake Factory This was the day after Valentine's Day. We celebrated a day late because we both had tests to study for. The following pictures are from a ski trip I went on with some friends over President's Day Weekend. We skied two days, and stayed two nights. The following pictures are of our awesome skiing and fun partying. A picture of Wez right as we started. Picture of snow-covered trees . . . or it could have been snow covered children for all we knew. I didn't resize this one for some reason, so it's huge. But it's really pretty, so czech it out. A look at the surrounding mountains from a nice little peak. We'd be much higher later. A picture of the sky while I laid on my back catching my breath. The Big White village. A lot of places have a lodge, this place had a whole town catering to skiiers (and snowboarders). Some trees with the mountains and sky behind it. It's a neat shot. A look from the top And some snow covered trees framing the picture. A shot of the slopes This one's not that impressive, but it's got lots of white stuff. An overexposed shot from the lift Brought to you by Nintendo Gamecube (c) A look from the top That's Wez telling me to hurry the hell up. Us in our hotel room This wasn't actually my room, I was with two R.A.'s from Lander Hall. That was a bad show, they asked me what were planning for the night, I told them that we were of age in Canada, so whatelse were we gonna do? And then they told me they were R.A.'s. . .that was nearly a "bad show". Wez playing with the camera Or is that the divine light? Yes folks, Wez is our savior. Wez striking a sexy pose. Kris (my roommate) as usual with his face in a bag of empty sunflower shells. Me looking at stuff Will (Wez's bro) takin' a nap Seriously, it was a lot more fun than this lets on. Probably because we all had quite a few drinks in us. . . .especially me as you'll see. Mori says it all Me passed out For those two nights, and for 5 people, we had 3 fifths of vodka, 1 fifth of gin, 1 fifth of kahlua, 1 fifth of rum, and quite a few beers. Wooo! Yeah for being of legal age. The next few pictures were taken during a trip Amber and I made to the Seattle Aquarium. Much fun was had, and boy, did we learn a lot. A random picture of a bird I was just testing out my zoom, which was adequate for this picture, although not much else. Amber and I in front of some cute snuggling otters Sitting on a very uncomfortable otter bench. But boy, am I smartly dressed. Here are a few pictures I took on an excursion to the zoo with Amber and her dad. A picture of a giraffe Another picture of a giraffe. Is there anything prettier than animals. . .behind bars? A tiger The same tiger We took a lot of pictures of this tiger More pictures of the same tiger A picture of a jaguar. A picture of a cute fox thing This came out real well. After the zoo I went to dinner with a bunch of Amber's family. It was a very abrupt introduction to the family, but it was great food and an enjoyable experience. Here's a shot of downtown from her uncle Mike and aunt Pat's house. Here's Mt. Rainier. It would be a much better picture if it wasn't for the damned electrical pole. 2/3/02: Here are some pictures that I've taken since the beginning of the 2nd quarter. The first few are of random people on my floor (including myself), and were taken by Mikey (he's the first picture): Mikey Our R.A. Thien An with our favorite 21 year-old, Stephen. Nathan from down the hall My roommate Tamer Me, when I still had a beard My neighbor Wez giving an expression that says it all. These pictures are of my neighbor Mori who was super messed up one night. This is living proof that drugs are bad. Mori being high 1 Mori being high 2 Mori being high 3 Mori being high 4 Mori being high 5 Mori being high 6 Here are some pictures of the Super Bowl party in John's room. Originally it was myself, John, Justin, Ben, Mori, and Amy chillin', although at the time these pictures were taken Ben and Mori were gone. There's only one thing more American than watching football while drinking a beer. . . . . . And that's drinking many beers Amy passed out No, not really. Our hasily created beeramid using a combination of Rolling Rock, MGD, and Pyramid Ale. 12/17 Yo yo! Here are some new pictures from around the U. I have some pictures from my engineering class, and then right here are a couple I've taken from all sorts of places. So lets get the party started shall we. Here's a picture of the quad The quad is beautiful in the spring when the cherry trees are blooming. Mori want's to take it outside Mikey (on the left) pulled a little prank on Mori, but when Mori wanted to box to settle the dispute Mikey refused. IT'S A MCCARTY BACARDI PARTY! This was one of the few times I've drank here. A similar picture Blake passed out No, I'm not that far gone. . . I'm more joking than anything there. There's nothing like College Football This was before the Stanford game. A very patriotic view of college sports. Mori is strange The other guy is my roommate Kris. Shafted at the door We couldn't get into this building for so many reasons. Prom, Seattle style Marta, would you do the honor of going to a senior citizen's prom with me in 70 years? These are some pictures from my Engineering class. Note, there are new ones here (12/17): Here my engineering class Ohh, it's just oodles of fun as you can see. This was taken after class was over, but we were still hard at work on our robot project. Here's us again We're a little more serious in this picture. Robot competition None of these are our robots, but it lets you see some of the course. It included a ramp, a tight turn, a couple defender robots, a set of stairs and a sand pit. We're the defender We're gunning for the car with the monkey on it. We fought hard but as you can see our valiant effort took its toll on our robot. Now we are the wheelchair charging head long into my friend Dan's mighty defender. A front view From the side From the top So that concludes the newest (as of 12/17) engineering pictures. . . there are of course older ones right below. Us with our spaghetti tower You can see me in the back, the dude in front is Dan, and the girl is Becky. They're in my group along with Kevin who you can't see. Here's us with our bridge Kevin on the left, then me, then Becky, then Dan. Here's us again The machine is starting to crush it. Hours of work wasted . . . You can see that it's starting to twist. It ended up holding 141 lbs. Not the best, but this was only the prototype. Lynn visited for a few days, and here are a few pictures of one particularly interesting weekend. We went and explored secret tunnels deep below the surface, we got cheap ice cream, and I was punched in the face. All in one night. Plus I got the first hug in a long time. Amy, Lynn, and I Look how adorable we all look. The crew at the Mix If any of you are in Seattle, you have to visit it. Us again at the Mix You probably recognize some faces, like Krista, Lynn, and myself. Then there's Wes, and the other dude is a friend of my roommate Kris. Krista in the tunnels There are tunnels connecting every building on campus. However, I don't think we're supposed to be down there. A look at the tunnels Man it's creepy down there. Another look at the tunnels That was good fun, we were like a beligerent juvenile Lewis and Clark. Here's Wes Aww. . .you were blinking. Lets try having your eyes open for number two. . . Wes, just slightly more awake Good lord that's creepy. Here are a bunch of pictures from a particularly crazy Friday night. We started by roaming around looking for crazy things to do. We ended up finding a society of vampires that play role playing games underneath Red Square. Then we ended up finding a wheelchair. Talk about the perfect proportions for a buttload of fun! Does your school have a secret society of vampires? Just another reason why my school is better than yours. Here's me in the wheelchair GOOD TIMES! John in the wheelchair Boy was that wheelchair good fun. John in front of the ironic No Walk sign I can't believe that they can be so insensitive to the handicapped community. I mean what if John was really handicapped, and not only impersonating one in a stolen wheelchair? What then? I ask you! John in the handicapped shower" We decided to get rid of the evidence. . . and now you can see it in living color. Here are some pictures of a day in downtown Seattle. Antioch University Gallagher, you've been lying to us all this time. You've been here all along. One of a handful of pink elephants I've seen Of course all the others were a part of some sort of alcohol fueld fantasy. I just like this picture It's the Space Needle peeking out over the top of a building. All of us with a random viking guy That's me, Sandeep, Justin, and a friend of John's. John is taking the picture. Justin and I w/ our female alternatives Who needs a girlfriend when you have a massaging chair? Us with a Storm Trooper Even after all these years, we're still as big of nerds as we were back in middle school. Machines can be so cruel Here's me getting some advice from a machine in downtown Seattle. As you can see I took it pretty hard. Yet another message from God What can I say? I hate machines. . .and machines hate me. Justin and his mummy What can I say, he likes dead people. This is at the Ye Olde Curiosity Shoppe. Tamer (my roommate) and John Tamer is acting as John's literal and metaphorical umbrealla. This was the first picture I took of the guys. The wacky neighbor Mori Good old gullible Mori! (He's the wacky neighbor in the sitcom I call life) Here are some pictures taken by a camera set up over Red Square. Wonderful Weather Here's a picture from the webcam that's taking a look at red square. It really shows off the wonderful Seattle weather. Bright and Early Here's a picture taken at the ungodly hour of like 9 o'clock or something. Mt. Rainier Here's a picture that shows the view of Mt. Rainier. You can see it off and on depending on how clear it is. But when I see it on my way to my Chem class, it really makes my day. UW in the afternoon Here's a nice picture. The sky is fantastic in this.
