Rafting Photograms + Hella Plagiarism

Below are the photograms from the rafting trip we had last week (I'm the good looking fellow in the yellow safety hat). These pictures were taken from some imaging company, and the greedy fools tried charging us $50 dollars for all the pics on a CD. We didn't pay. Don't ask how I got them.
















I was also going to write a really in-depth report of the trip, but my friend Andrew Fujishin beat me to it. Therefore, I'm just going to copy paste his blog entry. Don't worry though, I have it all cited in MLA format.

"Rafting with Matthew, Nasser, Daniel, and Joey on August 14th down Middle Fork American River, a class III-IV river *(popped our rafting cherry).
The night before we camped out and set up our weird looking tents... pix up later, it was hilarious because our tents were crooked compared to everyone elses, and we had a 'mini' one man tent which was set up by just throwing it in the air, lol. Our tent making skills took about 1 hr.. and it still looked like crap ahaha.We were 'newbs' so for dinner Nasser wanted to heat up his soup, so we walked to the store nearby and tried to buy something to eat at the restaurant. This weird looking lady came out and blocked the door really fast. Nasser was like "can we use your microwave?" lol and she seemed really.. eager to shoo us off (also w/ an inside joke). So she pointed us to a shop down the road, which was named "Deli, Liquor, and Lotto"
Matthew and I decide to buy a pizza, (what noobs we are buying this food.) So the guy is like "YOU ROOKIES, WHERES YOUR MAMA?!"
"YOU POOR LITTLE BABIES DON'T KNOW HOW TO CAMP OR WHAT? NEED MOMMA TO COOK SOMETHING?!" ...something to that effect, and hes like, "You can't microwave that pizza, what do you think this is, a deli??!?!" This was the main joke of the night because it was in fact, a deli. Also Nasser dubbed him the "contradicting man" because we are shopping at his store, giving him business, and he treats us like that, also the deli joke. lmaooooo
We didn't want to talk back to this man, because we had a feeling he had a shotgun under his table, he was one of those guys, ya know? lol so he proceeds to tell us the 'exact time' we should microwave our other stuff, and Nasser decides to microwave his noodles. He said, where you gonna get water from?? We are like uhhh we bought some... lol man this was the funniest thing of the trip, you need to be there to understand our jokes for that night. So we ended up returning the pizza, and Matt and I just decided to buy Lunchables and a sandwich. LOL. We were also joking because we were the only 'minorities' on the camp, and that the microwave lady singled us out (another inside joke lol). We swam in their little pool afterwards, having a little trouble because most of us haven't been in a pool in a long time. We had a few races and felt like idiots trying to be "Michael Phelps" and doing "reverse turns" under the water, which ended in utter FAILURE Towards 8:00 PM ish, some filipinos arrived next to us, and we were like, hey, brown people! (inside joke, no harm meant lol :)
but yeah, those filipinos and our group stayed up way past the 'quiet time' which was 10PM, and were probably too noisy until 12AM. I couldn't sleep for 3 hours because of the snoring. In the middle of the night, I heard a loud cat followed by some smell later on in the morning (skunk). Nasser's ringtone was hilarious. It was "Who Let The Dogs Out" which rang at 6:30, when NO ONE was awake. Middle Fork bus was leaving at 7:30 AM sharp. That probably woke up the whole camp, lol. WELL on with the trip..
Our guide Jeff was fantastic...the scenery was beautiful
The trip started off really crazy because "Good Morning" was the first rapid which was super cold and fast (below 50 degree water)... Later
we saw a few people downstream who caught a few large trout, some "Jesus birds" because they walk on water, and a few other crazy things, such as water snakes, and baby turtles. We even stopped to pick some berries fresh off the vine. Another cool little event was the 'surfing' part of the trip which is where the water meets downstream and upstream.
There was a rapid on the trip in which one of the boats got stuck (after the portage falls) because they didn't veer to the left, and went on the harder right path with a jagged rock.
We had to use our teamwork (15+) people to pull the boat out. Kendra was the guide of that boat. The other guides seemed awesome too. Jose? I believe was his name, was a really laid back and FUN guide. He splashed water all over our boat and we had a water fight.
One person fell out of our boat at the last rapid called "Cannonball"
It was a crazy rapid which was totally unexpected. This class III-IV rapid was pretty easy for us beginners....
overall an awesome experience, which we will do again!"
