Happy, Walt, and Mickey
Saturday was probably the most fun I've had on a single day in quite some time. Why? Because I was at the happiest place on earth! That's right, Disneyland! By the way, why is Disneyland the happiest place on earth and not DisneyWorld. Or EuroDisney. Or that Disney park somewhere in Asia (Japan?)? I guess you can only have ONE happiest place on earth. 
Anyway, the day started with a rugged 12-6 win over Oak Manor (our second straight win against them, probably the toughest team in the league). After a shower, some food, and a fire alarm evacuating Hotchkiss (very timely, don't you think?), Amy and I picked up Jaclyn (Travis' new girlfriend) and drove to Oak Manor to pick up Travis and his roommate Kyle. Amy and I were in the front seats and the backseat consisted of three people 6 feet tall and up! That's why I drive a spacious luxury vehicle.
We finally got in the park around 1:30pm and immediately headed down Main Street to Tomorrowland. I was like a little ten-year-old in the park for the first time! I was trying to remember where everything was and what things I had done before. Oh yeah, I forgot to say that I hadn't been to Disneyland since I was ten! The first thing we did was grap FastPass tickets for the newly refurbished Space Mountain. Then, we backtracked and got in line for Star Tours. Man, I loved it! I love screaming and trying to scare little kids. . .oops, guess that's not too nice of me.
The Buzz Lightyear ride was pretty fun. It's basically just a competition with the other person sitting in the car with you. You try to shoot targets faster than the other person. That being said, I smoked Amy! It's good to know that all those years of playing guns with my cousins and brothers helped for something.
OK, well I'm not going to bore you with all the details, but I will highlight some things:

OK, well I'm not going to bore you with all the details, but I will highlight some things:
- Finding the "center of Disneyland was fun." When the park was first built, Walt Disney put a bronze plug to mark the EXACT center of the park. See the pictures for this.
- Pirates of the Caribbean is classic! I wanted to go on it again and again. Doesn't that song make you want to ditch what you're doing and become a scalawag and say cool things like, "Arrrr. . ."?
- Buying overpriced food!
- Screaming on Thunder Mountain Railroad.
- Going on the Jungle Cruise and barely escaping the flesh-eating piranhas. Phew, we barely made it.
- Eating an awesome tri-tip dinner in the VIP group eating area.
- The maniacly good fireworks show. The whole entire park shut down and people were seated everywhere to see it. It was amazing; easily the best fireworks show I've ever seen.
- Spending the day with Amy and simultaneously celebrating our one-year anniversary of dating.
That's the day in a nutshell! Comments are welcome, defamations discouraged but not prohibited.

OK, sorry it took so long, life is a little busy. Good for you and Amy, one year, good times, you crazy kidders. Congrats on that. Exactly why are you wearing a cowboy hat? have you forgotten section 456 of the Cowboy Bylaws? "No wearing of cowboy hats without proper equipment (pistols and preferably some sort of sash)shall be allowed within the State of California (exepting San Francisco, where due to the high number of homosexuals, avoidance of looking like a cowboy is preferred)". Can't get any plainer (or more beautifully written) than that. As for why Disneyland is the happiest place on earth...cuz it is, the one true original. One of the few places that could get me waxing poetically. It is truly the greatest spot on the planet. I swear, if i could somehow work it out, i would love to die on Main Street USA. And dont even get me started on Pirates of the Carribbean. Beautiful simply beautiful. Well i should stop, the tears in my eyes are joy. Peace out.
