The Jamaican festival “Negril on the Green” was this huge family cookout on five acres of land outdoors. The event occurs every Sunday afternoon from 12 noon until 2 am the next morning. We brought our own lawn chairs, blankets and coolers with cold beverages and some desserts as well. As we walked to find a spot to sit I could smell the heavenly scents of jerk chicken, jerk pork, and fried fish lingering through the air. The music from the bands was lively although I could not understand all of the lyrics but I clapped along away.

As soon as doodle and his brother finished eating they went off to Horsehead Landing. When they reached the landing, Doodle was to tired to swim, so he just went with the tides.

By that time Doodle was exhausted and terrified, and so he fainted into a pile of mud, his brother surprisingly helped him up, and decided to go back home.
Midway through a U.S. tour in 1998, original drummer Scott Raynor was asked to leave the band. Various conflicting reasons have circulated the Internet for years; a largely popular explanation is that Raynor had a serious drinking problem and was asked to leave. When he agreed to abstain from alcohol, bassist Mark Hoppus and guitarist Tom DeLonge doubted his sincerity and he was fired from the band through a telephone call. In a 2004 interview, Hoppus described the touring for Dude Ranch as "rough", with DeLonge adding "That was the worst tour ever. At that time, our drummer had a drinking problem.

Now we celebrate our birthdays together, and throw big parties for each other. This year, on my 17th birthday, her 22nd a friend of us both took us to the fair. I hurt my knee and had to go home before we got to do all the things we wanted to, and because we rode together and I couldn’t drive she had to leave too.

I was excited to get back home and see everyone, I had been gone for almost 5 months. When we finally pulled into my gram's driveway we were met by my whole family. It felt great knowing how much they missed me, my Aunt, Uncle and their children.
We attended a Greek Orthodox Festival and while we were there we watched people dance to Taverna-Style music, we ate Gyros, Dolmas which is herbed rice and beef rolled in a grape leaf, and we also had Keftethes (Greek meatballs), and Spanakopita (spinach in filo). That day we met some of the nicest people that made us feel a part of their family. By attending community events to celebrate different cultures can bring people to together which could be the beginning of people in the United States getting along with each other instead of being prejudice against one
The ride to Chapel Hill took about two and a half hours. When we get to Chapel Hill we park at the Baptist Student Union because it is very close to our tailgating spot outside of the Cobb parking deck. We tailgate with our family and friends before and after every home game. My cousins are there, one of which goes to Carolina and the other is a senior in high school, my grandma is there, and friends of my cousin’s parents are there as well. There is all sorts of food there; fried chicken, chicken salad, regular salad, chips and dip, fruit, some sort of dessert, and all different kinds of drinks.
The next day I was supposed to see my dad after he had his spinal surgery, I was so hung-over I passed out after taking a shower. I’ve never felt so horrible in my life knowing I let my mom and dad down. In the middle of junior year I got into I fight because I male student in my class called me a very horrible name. I got suspended for two days because I punched him in the face a couple times and had to get pulled off of him by three teachers, that was the first time I’ve ever got
