Grandma's Beef Shack

So last Thursday around 5:30pm I got a call from my friend Holly's Mom down in Oregon asking if I would like to come down for the weekend. Being as I am unemployed with relatively little obligations at home. I thought about it for about 5 minutes before I decided to say fuck it and just drive down. After about 15 minutes of packing, I was on my way to North Bend to stay the night before I would leave for Hillsboro, having to be there by 11am if wanted to catch my ride down. At around 8:00pm I got home, said hi to my family, and proceeded to go to bed.

At around 6:30am the next morning I got up to leave. It was a pretty quiet ride down, as I was able to get down to Hillsboro in around 3hrs and 15min. After arriving at my destination, I threw my stuff in my rides van, and proceeded to head 6hrs down to Ashland, Oregon. For those that don't know about this particular place, it is a small town about 10 miles from the California border. For those that haven't passed through, the most similar town I could think of would be Fairhaven if it were bigger. Anyways, the drive across Oregon reminded me of why I like the state so much. While most towns in Washington usually ellicit the response of "huh, thats nice I guess", Oregon doesn't deal in shades of grey. For me, most towns are either very nice places in which one wouldn't at all mind moving to, or complete trash holes that bring about both fear and curiosity. You want to get away as soon as possible, but at the same time you know you want to visit that dilapitated amusement park that is rusting on the side of the highway. Maybe i'm just weird, but I love the fact that from the freeway I could see methlabs in the hills. Well, maybe they aren't meth labs, just people's compounds.

After about 6 hours, I finally arrived and suprised my friend Holly with my visit. She showed me her apartment and we exchanged what we had been doing with our lives. After that, I headed down with her mom, stepdad, brother, and friend to watch her wind orchestra recital. For those that don't know what that is, it basically is using trumpets, saxs, and trombones as replacements for things like string instruments. I'd look it up on youtube as its kinda hard to explain without hearing it for yourself. After the concert, we all got pizza and went back to Holly's apartment to watch old home movies and play Wii.

Next time I will explain what happened the next day. Also, explain what they title of this entry means.
