3 continents in 4 days

what up world, its ya boy sway! nah, but I've wanted to say that. Today was epic, I walked across Europe, took a ferry across a river and chilled in Asia. no joke. Istanbul is unique cause it covers two continents (Europe and Asia), but it is separated by the Bosphorus river. I live on the Europe side, but I'm about 25 minute walk away from the river. So, me and some friends made the walk and ferry trip (only 1.40 lira, less than $1 in america). Not a whole lot different over on the Asia side, but just knowing I went from one continent to the next is CRAZY! 

Went out to a bar called "Legend Bar" last night. Def an experience, between the weird turkish techno and the middle aged women dancing and making weird noises at us. 

On my way to London on monday. Me and a few others are flying over there for a week, staying in this hostel called Picadelli Backpackers. Hoping to make a Eurostar ride over to Paris, but depends on the price. 

Got some good news...I think. I got pooped on by a pidgeon today, right on my chest. Supposed to be good luck? I hope so cause it is nasty.

Really enjoying it over here, the food is just plain amazing. Chicken pita's are only 2 lira (about $1.22  usd) and they taste so good, and its enough for one meal. I'm gonna eat those like its my job. Below are some pics from todays journey, enjoy!

Istiklal Cadessi, a pedestrian only street a few minutes away from where I am staying

This is a futbol stadium next to my school, def gonna hit one of the games up

casey, me, and adam on the Asia side. That is the european side behind me

this is a really rough panoramic looking from Asia to Europe

so jetleg is official business

as you can see can in my previous post, I was all like "jetlag aint nothin but a thang". Welllll, its legit. I couldnt get out of bed until bout 2:30pm here. It doesn't seem to be just me, as its 3:30pm now and my roomates are still passed out. Not much on the agenda today, trying to work out a trip to London or Paris within the net couple days. 

I'm gonna go try and see the Notorious movie tonight at the local theater. I dont know if they are gonna have it or not, I hope they do. Pretty overcast today, I'm ready for the warm weather again. 

here is a random pic of a UPS store I saw yesterday. There were about 3 or 4 of those creepy man statues just hanging off the building. weird. enjoy!

istiyorum bir su

^ I want one water... heck yeah I'm speaking turkish. Quickly picking up simple phrases that I need to use everyday. I still need to learn "I will punch you in the face".

This morning I went on a bus tour around istanbul (where all the pics came from). I def felt like a mega tourist, but not as bad as the asian guy up front that took about 5 billion pictures. I still am blown away at how densely packed it is here. Its pretty easy to get around, there is a main road that goes most the way through the city and I live a couple blocks away from it. There is even a 7-11 a few blocks away! I haven't been in there, but if they dont have any slurpees I'm gonna cry. 

I had some really good food today, cheap too. My breakfast was 2.50 lira ( about $1.54 US dollars) and I had a bottle water, a cheese lettuce tomato sandwich, and a orange. 

Errbody should add me on Skype, my name is 'auburnmeat'. Hit me up sometime, I can talk on my iphone as long as I have wifi. As far as the whole video blog, its gonna have to wait cause I just can't keep an internet connection long enough to upload a video. So, I'm gonna have to wait until they fix the wifi at my place, or wait until Feb 2 when I start school to upload videos. Sorry

I'm feeling pretty good as far as jetlag is concerned. I was up for about 32 hours straight yesterday, but I got a solid 8 of sleep last night. Check out the pics below, many more to come! love peace and hair grease, see ya guys

flood of houses

stop, dur

rossi bike! all of the bikes in town are these CBF150 hondas, pretty cool

around the world

what up world! sorry for the delay on posting, my internet connection is really slow. Actually it doesn't work half the time. Oh, and evidently YouTube is the devil in Turkey, it is completely banned from the internet. So, hopefully I can get my videos up on Google video, but uploading them will take literally an hour. When I get in school (Feb. 2), hopefully I should have a faster internet connection. 

I gotta run out, bout to get on a bus tour. Yep, def gonna be the tourist for a day. Below is a picture from my porch, enjoy. I'm gonna try and get more posts in today, just depends on my internet connection. See ya!

hi, billy mays here

I saw Nicky Hayden drinking one of these a long time ago, but looks like we just got them here in fro-ida. I am actually drinking it right now, and it aint no pepsi or coca cola. Imagine RC cola + ginger?? Something like that. Its not bad at all, its suprisingly good. If you know me, you know I'm not a huge fan of soda. For me it goes like this

1) Maintain Dew code red

2) Maintain Dew 

3) Cherry Coke

4) IBC Black Cherry

Its been a few days since I've posted up on m blog, mainly cause my life is pretty uneventful right now. But get excited, I'm leaving for Istanbul in 8 days. Daily blogs, and just all around awesomeness will ooze from this page. Love, peace, and hair grease!

p.s. if you visit this site, add yourself as a follower (to your right) so I know who is checkin in on me!

lets do it again

Harry Dickerson just called my house hahaha. for real, that was his real name on the caller ID.  Wow.

anyways, 2009 is here.  I watched LSU straight rape GT last night, felt bad when they ran the fake punt in the 4th. That's Les Miles for ya. I hope Gene Chizik will bring the big play to AU. I havent seen auburn have a big play in years.  

In order to entertain my brain and not go crazy today, I've made this photo review of 2008. All things that I did, and everything that was important to me.

its a good day

I woke up today, you know just another day. Went on a nice ride on the motorcycle, bout 70 miles or so. I got to play this awesome game for the PS3 called Little Big Planet, really fun game. It kinda put thoughts in my head of selling the Wii and getting a PS3 for that one game. Yeah, really. Got home, ate some food and pet on the beastro. Then my life changed. The world got a little brighter, birds starting singing, a lil chipmunk came up and handed me a golden peanut....

JellyCar version 1.3 had arrived

I almost took a dump when I opened the App Store on my iPhone and saw that there was a new update for JellyCar. By far my favorite game on the iPhone, seriously awesome. Three new levels. Life is good

me v2

way back when, pharrell came out with a little cartoon of himself. It is pretty much the coolest lil dude ever, so a couple years back I made a version of myself. 

its bout to be a new year, its time for a version 2.0 of meathead.

went trap shooting today, I hit 25 of dem hoes. There are 25 shots per round. Sounds like i'm a champion.....well if you add both of my two rounds together I hit 25 haha. So really I suck, aka 50%. That is a huge fail if you put it into school terms. Its aight though, 50% isnt always bad. Punching people that piss me off when I'm driving 50% of the time would be good. 

still not as good as Sex Panther. that junk works 60% of the time, everytime. That is a hard number to beat

new fav car

so I was riding around on the 600 yesterday and I saw this hatchback, I was like ooooooooooo shizznit that is awesome. I get closer and it was this old lady driving it, so I would've been awkward if I had given her a thumbs up. She probably would've called her husband and told him some creeper with a retard face painted on his helmet is following me.

-side story- I was riding around last week and I saw this guy I used to work with, but he isnt exactly my bff. So I was thinkin "he will never recognize me with my helmet on.... oh snap my face is on my helmet." So I had to sit through the entire red light looking up and away from his truck. Probably looked like a re re, but he didnt see me :)

BACK to the story! The car was a Volvo C30. I've seen a few before, but never up close. Pretty much gave me an O face. So, in the spirit of boredom and slight depression, I played around on photoshop and cooked up a couple images of what it can look like. enjoy

no joke. best . song . ever
