Hey everyone, let me start this off by saying that this is my first article, and I hope it is good enough. If it is not, please send hate mail to BRyder@1wrestling.com . What I am going to talk about this time in my life last year. I have been to many places this past year, and what better time and place to talk about it than now.

I think I will start at New Years 2000. I get off work at 11, and make my way over to a friends houes, to get drunk and high (please note, I do alot of drinking and smoking throughout this year). Noone wanted to go to Atlanta because of the whole Y2Krap thing, so we stayed in town and had a house party. We found out soon after that we could of went to Atlanta, but by the time we realized it, we were too drunk to do much of anything.

A week or so later, My friend Lou came into town. I had known him since 97, and he is the craziest Mofo you will never meet. He came into town, and convinced me and a group of friends to go to Savannah. We went there, and got a hotel room. The sad part is, we went when there was rain coming into town, so we were basically stuck in the hotel room all weekend. We did go down to the beach though, and smoked a fat spliff, and I got head from my girlfriend at the time, but nothing too exciting for an in-state roadtrip.

Anyways, we headed back into Duluth, hungry, and about broke. I got my girlfriend to get me some money from her parents (isn't that what girlfriends are good for), and I worked for a few weeks to pay the bills. Around March 10, 2000 (2 days before my 19th birthday), we decided to go on another roadtrip. On this roadtrip, there was Lou, me, and Tico, a guy I knew, but not very well. We brought him along because he had weed and money, and he wasn't a gimp. Anyway, we decided to go to the place to go that time of the year if you want to party for cheap. Yes, we went to Panama City!

Please note, that on all of our roadtrips, we always leave around 9-11 oclock at nite, so we are travvelling late at nite. One, it gives us less of a chance of getting pulled over, and two, an extra day to party. Well, we were on our way, and guess what happens halfway to there? Yep, we get a flat, out in the middle of Bumblefuck, Alabama. There were no gas stations anywhere around, and the spare in the back was also flat (pathetic, isn't it?). We coast the car going 1-2 mph down the road trying to get to a gas station, so we can fix this flat. We had 300 bucks on us, and figured we would have to spend 50 for a used tire, and 40 for a hotel room somewhere around there, so there went our money. Luckily, while we were pushing it, a group of guys in a truck came down this deserted road, and actually stop! They ask if they can help us, and we ask if they can give us a lift to the nearest station. They tell us that they have an extra tire in the back of their truck, and it is actually the same size as the one on our car! We ask them if we can use it, and follow them down to the next gas station so we can give it back, and they agree. We(and I mean I when I say that) get the tire on my Pontiac Firebird, and start following them back to a gasstation. I ask my friends if we should ditch them, and we all decide that we should to save money, so we pull a u-ie, and head back down to PC.

We get to PC about 5 O'Clock in the morning, and find the cheapest hotel in PC, which is about 10 miles from the beaches, but there is a tittie bar across the street, so its all good. We get there, check in, smoke a doobie, and get a few hours of sleep.

The next morning, we wake up about 4 hours after we wnet to sleep, so we can get us some free pancakes (they have alot of deals in PC) and beers. We get our eat-on, and wash the car, turn up the bass on the new Raheem CD that we just got, and go down to the strip blasting "The Most Beutiful Girl" on my system. If you have never been to PC, then it would be hard to explain it, but I guess the closest thing to explain it would be a bunch of half naked drunk bitches who are ready to fuck, mixed with a bunch of guys who want to get wasted. It is a beutiful combination, because even the school geek can get laid if he plays his cards right. But we party down there, and then we manage to lose the door and trunk key, thanks to Tico. We are like, no biggie, and continue with our partying. I go to stop at a Krystals with Lou, and Tico wants to go eat at McDonalds for some dumb ass reason. I let him use my car to get there, and when he gets back, he LOCKS THE DAMN DOOR TO THE CAR! Now I wouldn't be so mad, except I had told him 3 seperate times not to lock the door, because of the keys. Also, I was just about broke becuase of all the partying, and the only one who had money was Tico. But, he was being a stingy bitch, and wouldn't give up any, so I had to break the window of my car to get into it. I did get my revenge by leaving him in PC when we left, but he deserved it, and he managed to get back, so I consider everything even. Anyways, we pack up all of our shit, and leave without Tico, and no window on the drivers side. The sad part is, it started raining halfway home.
