Hiking Mount St. Helens



Hiking Mount St. Helens.

I would hang out with my best adult-hood friend Matthew Thomas Kurtz. I would go to his house. We would play Star Craft, War Craft, Risk, Settlers, Chess, Checkers, Mario, Nintendo, Playstation 3, Magic (card game), and watch movies and shows. We would make videos. We would have many adventures. I miss those good old days.

On one Monday, the 23rd of April 2012, me, Matt, Danny Magna, Mario, and Mikey, rode in Danny's or Mario's car to Mount St. Helen. Matt lives in Vancouver, Washington USA. It took a few hours, even while speeding, to get to the mountain. I had my camcorder. I took some video. Matt turned some of those videos into photos. You can find them on his Facebook (FB). We had some fun while hiking trails for some hours but we did not climb up the mountain. We did not really go up at all. We did see some snow and skiers.

Battlestar Galatica

Battlestar Galatica.

Matt Kurtz inspired me into watching all 5 seasons of the sci-fi fantasy drama action TV series Battlestar Galatica in around March and April 2011 or so.

Party at the Campbells

Party at the Campbells.

After Blake Edwards Webb died on Sunday: the 2nd of May 2010, I moved in with the family of Jackie and Bruce and Maggie and the brothers Cambells in Portland, Oregon USA. I lived at their house until the day I hopped on an Amtrak train to be a Relief Counselor & Program Staff at the Salvation Army's Camp Redwood Glen in Scotts Valley, California USA. A few days before going, Charlotte Battle let me pack my things from my apartment room 414 in the Alder Housing Apartment: 523 Alder: Portland, OR USA, or the address is something like that. I was able to pack my bags into her van and we stored them at The Salvation Army's Moore Street Corps church. After camp, we took my stuff into her house in PDX. I lived with Charlotte from July 2010 until June 2011 when I moved back in with my dad, where I was born and raised at 163 Rose Grove, Forest Grove, Oregon USA.

At the Campbells, we saw movies in the big screen. We watched the sitcom TV show the Big Bang Theory. We would play Wii video games, especially Donkey Kong and the New Adventures of the Mario Brothers where you can play four players at the same time.

Family Reunion 2000

Family Reunion 2000.

In the year 2000, when I was 15 years old, in July, while I was still in home school, before I started public high school for the first time, me and my family attended the Morehead Family Reunion 2000 in Long Beach, Washington USA.

My mother's maiden name is Morehead. In other word, my mom was born and raised with the last name Morehead. The reunion consisted of her side of the family. Me & my brother have attended 2 family reunions with my dad, which had dad's side of the family. In 1992, when I was 7 years old, me, my dad, my brother, and my sister Katie, went to Los Angeles California, and Disneyland for around ten days to see the relatives of my dad. In 1997, when I was 12 years old, me, my brother, and my dad drove my sister Katie's car to southern Oregon, to Goldhill, Medford, Roseburg, Crater Lake, to see my dad's friends and and adopted family, since my dad was born in the year 1950 in Los Angeles but was adopted when he was 2 years old and was moved to southern Oregon. My dad did not know he was adopted until he was about 15 years old, and he failed at trying to find his real family until my mom somehow found a lucky phone book or something and was able to find my dad's real mother, but my dad's father died when my dad was 3 years old. So, we do not know much about my dad's side. I think my dad's dad, Peter Jr. Marinus Rasp, was born 1908 in like Holland, Amsterdam, Netherlands, or one of those places, or I am confused. Let me look for a map.

The reunion in 2000 had my 2nd cousin, Ted Pickett, who may be 40 years old, and he write and performs songs on his guitar and has a band. My mom's father and step-mother was there. We went go-cart racing. I was able to play basketball with people including uncle Jim Williams.
