Beginings

I used to be a proud member of the Minneapolis/St. Paul community. I lived there for about 5 months and it was awesome! But when housing issues occured, I had to move back to my hometown. I know. Ew, right? That's what I thought. I dreaded that long drive back. I knew things would be the same when I returned. Sitting around my house, bored, depressed, nothing to do. But when I did return, I was surprised. It was still the same town, but things were slightly different. Not noticeably different, but I could feel it.
About a week after being back, I took part in a contest online to make a 30 - 90 second ad for a variety of products. My 3 friends and I jumped at the chance. (The grand prize was $10,000 and a trip to London. C'mon, of course we jumped.) We made 6 ads for the contest and we thought that making these videos were the funnest things we have ever done. We didn't win, but those videos amounted to one of the greatest things I've ever done. We decided to keep making videos because they were so fun. So we did. The 4 of us made more videos under a group name. Those six ads created the formation of Elephant Stomp. Our name as a group was originally going to be Killabear, but that name was taken on Youtube. So we sat around one night, brainstorming names and Elephant Stomp just kind of came to be. So we continued to make skits and other videos for Youtube. Doing so has gained us a local celebrity status around here and neighboring towns. We recently went to North Dakota and found people who enjoy our videos. Slowly but surely, our status is growing. You can find us on Youtube under Elephant Stomp or go to www.youtube.com/theelephantstomp
I've also achieved some, uh, "goals" while being back. I've been with 2 girls I never thought I had a shot with. Both of whom are several years older than I. One of which I've been infatuated with for a number of years and the other I've had strong feelings for since I met her. And I feel that if I can get with them, I can get with anyone because they are both very attractive women who are more mature and could have anyone at their disposal. So I consider both a victory for me! And we are still friends after the fact, so I count that as another win because people say things change between girl and guy friends after they sleep together. Ha. Those people are so wrong.
But not all things are good and awesome while being back. The Dark Days have returned. What are The Dark Days? Well, last year during the winter, my friends and I went to the casino often. Almost every other day. Yeah, it was bad. That period of time was known as The Dark Days and they are back. We've been to the casino several times now in the past few weeks and we don't plan to stop. The last casino adventure almost got us into trouble. See, here's the thing. We like to be uproarious and somewhat wild when we win at slots. So we yell and cheer even if we only win a dollar at a time. We've been at the casino since 9 or 10 in the p.m. and we've been cheering the whole time we were there. A secruity guard told us that we were being too loud and we were going to be escorted out of the casino if we continued. She told us this at 3 in the morning! First off, you couldn't tell us this earlier? And second, how is it possible to be too loud in a fucking casino?! Doesn't make sense to me, but we quieted down. Oh Dark Days, how I missed you....
