I'll be in Arizona next month and have a few days open. Is there anything fun to do there? I also have a day or two open when I'm in San Diego. I've been there before, but can't think of anything to do that will pass the time. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks in advance

BEETROOT

Where in AZ?

Yumcha

Visit Beetroot?

GeishaGirl

I think we'll be staying in Scottsdale, but I'm not too clear on that yet. Probably in or near there though.

BEETROOT

Hmmm...

The usual stuff people do is:

Climb camelback. You walk a trail up and down a big rock. Considering it will be 115 or hotter, and the pollution kills the view, might not be a great idea in August.

Tube down salt river. You rent tubes (one for you, one for a case of beer) and float down a slow moving, straight, river. Not only do you get up close and personal with the beautiful dirt on the sides of the river, but you can experience first hand what its like to be industrial waste (emptied down said river).

Drink.

From what I've heard, not much to do out there, the bar scene/clubs are kind of wack. Best bet, drink with your friends.

play golf at 6am before it gets too hot out

Actually I'd say the bar scene is one of the best in the country. Clubs aren't bad either, if you are into that stuff.

Take a ride up to the Sedona area if you want some pretty scenery. Generally speaking, North of Phoenix is nice scenery. Near-North of Tucson and further South is nice Scenery. Between Phoenix and Tucson is boring as f*ck.

Time For Sleeep

When you're in San Diego, hit up this Mexican place called JV's. It's a taco shop.

$6 for the surf and turf burrito. (Carne Asada + Shrimp)... the length goes literally from your wrist to the beginning of your elbow. And I would say 3.5-4 inches thick across.

BEETROOT

hey I'm going to San Diego monday-tuesday next week. I'm staying in a hotel in Hazard Center (no clue where that is).

Where do I find this place JV's..any idea if its close to where I am?

PsychoInDenial

Don't forget to get some carne asada fries too while in daygo. I recommend Lolita's, you can yahoo that place to get directions.

thatguy

im going to go to taco hell today

BEETROOT

you going to be here on a weekend where you could go out? we could have a mini AZ meet and hit up a bar or something.

GeishaGirl

Sounds lovely

Thanks for the suggestions guys!~ A friend of mine who used to live in az was telling me that I had to try Phillyburtos, or some shit. Probably not the right spelling at all, but is there a taco place that has a name that sounds even remotely like that? I'll also check out that JV's place

The mini-az meet sounds cool. I'll check the itinerary

Also, where is the best shopping?

BEETROOT

oh my god. don't go to filiburtos

thats the taco chain that makes McDonalds look like cheesecake factory. they get closed down almost weekly for failing health code inspections...rats in the meat and all sorts of nasty shit.

they have deals like 7 tacos for a dollar. its absolutely disgusting.


and you would like scottsdale fashion square mall, or the biltmore. fashion square is in downtown scottsdale, scottsdale road and camelback (1/8th mile from my office). Biltmore is 24th street and camelback.

san diegos only a hop skip and a jump away from TJ mexico and some drunken escapades or of course theres sea world

GeishaGirl

damn, shes been talking about that place ever since she moved back. I guess I know to stay away from that death trap now I do NOT want to have food poisoning on vacation

thatguy

there is a nice little gyro shop near the barber shop i go to on central. About as good as leftiri's in sleepy hollow/tarrytown NY. I havent gotten sick from that place yet!

BEETROOT

Yeah I'd avoid that place like the plague. I thought only the illegal immigrants ate there.



best restaurants are...

Thai Lahna, 38th Street and Indian School

Pita Jungle, Apache and Roosevelt

BEETROOT

what place?

thatguy

Gyro shop. Its like 100 feet from Uncle Jedd's cut hut on central. Good gyros man, really good!!!

gsrblack

too hot now in phoenix....gotta stay in the shade during the day. malls are nice here if you wanna shop. the ones that beet mentioned are nice.

if you had the time, sedona is a nice getaway....about an hour and a half or two hours and it's cooler up there.

Mizouse

i want to go on a vacation/trip damn summer school

Minch00

You mean your grandma is actually going to let you spend money?


Well, I know of this great place that sells silver crocodile skin purses

GeishaGirl

@ illegal immigrants. My friend was dating a mexican guy at the time who had probably just come to the country a few years ago. I guess that explains why they ate there a lot.

When is it over? I'm going after my 2 classes end, but a little after fall semester begins. I hope my professors won't mind me being gone for a bit

GeishaGirl

I'm sure you do

btw my grandma lets me spend money on myself if she feels the purchases are reasonable, but not on others (in particular men), get it right.

Minch00

Oh, so if she doesn't find the purchase reasonable (Like $400 shoes), then you just swindle someone else into buying it for you, then stop all communication with them. Great plan you have there

sasha

I'm sensing something brewing here

Minch00

You have NO fucking idea.......

GeishaGirl

haha swindle? wtf. Look, I never made any promises that I couldn't keep. I never went above and beyond my means or pretended to be anything I wasn't. I stopped talking to you because of the shit that got back to me. About "leading you on" etc. I don't think I led you on at all. I never said that I'd go out with you if you bought me something, I just said w/e happens happens, which is exactly what I meant.

Believe me, if I were going to use someone or find a "sugar daddy" I'd have found someone who could afford to be. I really don't know what was wrong with the whatever happens happens thing. What else could there have been being that we've never met etc? Thats why I never made promises, so I'm not sure how I swindled you into anything. If I remember correctly I told you NOT to do anything that would put you in the hole. So don't get it twisted in your head.

Minch00

Well if you "cared" so much for me, then you'd attempt to at least rectify the situation. And to totally end all communication with me after ALL I DID FOR YOU is beyond fucked up. You told me information that was false, meaning you LIED to me. Saying "something could happen" and then saying "nothing will ever happen" to someone else, that isn't lying or leading the other on? Seems like it to me. The way I see it, you lied to me, after all I've done for you, and then you stop all communication with me, simply because I asked you to rectify a situation that YOU caused. I think it's awesome you don't give a care in the world that I have to give up some of my most prized possessions just to feed your fucking habit of buying extravegant things that could feed most people for a month, using them twice and throwing them in the closet. I can't wait until you experience the real world, I just wish I could be there to see the look on your face.



"The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee. "


I am the righteous. You are the selfish.

And as you type up a response that I'm SURE will have no actual bearing on the events of what happened, just a bunch of hypothetical bullshit from "Noriland", let me just sing a song that perfectly reflects the situation as viewed by a third party.

"Scandalous Hoes"
(feat. Lil' Bran)

[Mike Jones]
Hoes these days mayne, I'm tellin y'all
They scandalous baby, scandalous baby
That's why

[Lil' Bran]
I, cain't, stand you scandalous hoes

[Chorus: Mike Jones + (Lil' Bran)]
Females I don't trust 'em, Lord knows I don't love 'em
I fuck 'em, I don't cuff 'em, I swear they nothin but trouble
And for that reason there, I keep my shit in my pants
Because (I, cain't, stand you scandalous hoes)

[Mike Jones]
Geah! I watch my back when I'm walkin, I watch my mouth when I'm talkin
My glock cocked when I'm crawlin cause you never know
Who hate the fact you got plenty of paper stacked so they envy
the way you move in that Bentley now you got more than one enemy
Tryin to take you out nope, that's why you ride wit'cha scope
Or aim the infrared beamer straight to they throat
So if you ever in fear of your life, you put steel HERE in they life
Cause you ain't goin down, especially not tonight
I never ever trusted hoes because they got a plan
They don't want me for me they want me because I got some Grants
It's sad when you down nobody lends a helpin hand
But when you blow up and don't help them you {?} man
My grandma told me watch these hoes because they got a plan
to get your paper that's why I keep my shit in my pants
You're on your own 'til your gone that's what I was told
So I'ma help who helped me 'til my casket closed


[Lil' Bran]
I, cain't, stand you scandalous hoes

[Chorus]

[Mike Jones]
What's my business is my business, don't worry 'bout how I'm livin
I'm gettin it how I'm gettin it, you should do the same
These haters hate, they mad cause I'm gettin cake
That's why (I, cain't, stand you scandalous hoes)

[Lil' Bran]
Stand you scandalous hoes



[Mike Jones]
Now that you stackin up dollars, these hoes now wanna holla
They wanna be on your team, they wanna know all about'cha
They wanna ride on your ride, they wanna be by your side
until the day that you die, that's what they tellin you right?
They sayin they wanna commit, because your paper legit
The minute you go bankrupt the second they gon' split
Now yo' ass ain't got shit
Listenin to that bitch got you flat broke quick
If you was straight from the streets you'll know that that bitch
was from the jump a hoe, playin you for your dough
But I guess you thought I was hatin when I was keepin it real
I'll bet you gon' listen now cause she got you for your scrill
So let this lesson be told to those who got caught
You tried to pay for some pussy that already been bought

GeishaGirl

Oh please, who said that NOTHING could have happened? I'm still trying to figure that out. I said that whatever happens happens. I never once sat you down and said there was no hope because quite frankly, how could I have known there was none. We've NEVER MET. How was I supposed to say for certain that there was no chance, and I never did, so don't put that whole nothing was possible BS on me. I never said that, and at the time it was totally untrue.

And I wouldn't say I caused that entire situation. Don't forget that you had a hand in it as well. I didn't put a gun to your head for any of this. I didn't make you any promises that I couldn't stand behind, so I'm still wondering how I led you on??? I said if we meet whatever happens happens. At the time I thought you were a very nice guy, I did up until this whole leading on BS started. I didn't lie to you at all, but if you choose to believe that there was no hope to begin with thats all on you.

Minch00

Well, seeing as how Rach informed me of your conversations in which A)You never wanted a long distance relationship again B)You had no intentions of ever dating me, and C)That you couldn't ever see me as being able to sustain your fucked up lifestyle, then yeah, I'd say you lied to me and lead me on by saying "sure, something could happen, we'll see" when in reality you had already made up your mind.

GeishaGirl

thats because you're probably telling the 3rd party the lame version of the story that you're trying to bring out here. I didn't lead you on, for the last time. I never said I'd go out with you in return for some bag. I never said there was no hope, you for some reason just started to believe it. So go cry a river and get over it

Minch00

I've already explained how you're fucked up. Diamonds may be forever, but you'll always be a bitch. Don't get too fat and die of diabetes, I hear it runs in your family......

GeishaGirl

I never once said that there was no hope though. I don't want a long distance, but didn't we talk about Stetson? How could I have had intentions when we never met. However, I was willing to see where shit went when we did meet, I thought that was clear. You're just taking a bunch of shit out of context. Bottom line: I never said there was no chance, not to you, not to anyone. I don't think no intention necessarily = no chance. Its like, I don't have intentions of dating anyone now, but doesn't mean that if something comes along later I'd totally turn it away. There is a difference.

Also, yeah, you can't sustain my lifestyle, thats why I always told you not to get in over your head. You however, always assured me that shit was okay etc.

and i thought tonight was going to be a rainy ol boring night.
