Final High School Bash

Struggling to decide if the high school party you just went to was badass? Try this one on for size. Senior year was coming to a close, it was my friend in the pictures’ 18th birthday, and it was 420.

We were so hung over when we woke up that we only thought to break out the camera once we were already halfway done cleaning. Seriously.

Nonetheless, the pictures do a solid job of commemorating a good time. And on this (21-Aug.-2009), the day my parents are moving into their new house in North Carolina, it seemed a fitting ode to give a retrospective shout out to the one and only 5020 Swiss.

Twin Towers

Twin Towers

My Dad took me to the northeast on a “baseball trip” in between my freshman and sophomore years of high school. Very cool move on his part as I got to take in a game each at now-defunct Yankee and Shea Stadiums as well as Fenway Park. Anyway, this picture is one I snapped (no I didn’t just run a Google image search) from aboard the Staten Island Ferry we hopped on during the day. Like I said, I’m well aware this isn’t exactly a one-of-a-kind image, but I appreciate having been where I was that day and seeing the twin towers in person considering I wouldn’t even be eighteen years old yet at the time of the 9/11 tragedy.
