Please bear with me while I build a theme for my good friend Michelle. I’ll have her theme in use for the next few days while I continue to tweak it, and then I may start working on my new theme (maybe).

Also, I know I promised blog posts about my trip, and I know they’re not here yet. Allow me to explain.

My original plan was to make a video slideshow with my own narration and upload it to YouTube. One of the things I wanted to do most was put the recording of our concert in the background of the video. I was supposed to have the CD by the time I got back from Europe, but it hasn’t arrived yet. In fact, nobody from the trip has gotten a CD yet, and nobody really knows when we’re supposed to get them.

I don’t want to make you guys wait any longer, so I’m hoping to write up a blog post soon with some information about the trip. If in the future I do get the CD and you guys still want me to make the video slideshow, I may still make it.

UPDATE: I’ve heard that some people from the trip have started receiving their CDs in the mail. I haven’t gotten mine yet, but that’s still a good sign.

As some of you may know, I spent the last two weeks in Europe. My plan is to write a few posts to give you all of the details of my trip. In the meantime, however, I’ll just leave this video here.

I shot this video from the peak of a mountain in Westendorf, Austria. The video itself isn’t too exciting, but it was a view I’ll never forget. This was by far one of the most beautiful things I have seen in my entire life. The peak was 1886 meters (about 6188 feet) above ground.

For those of you who don’t know, check last year’s post to get a quick rundown of what HUGRDICK Day is all about.

Still, I’d just like to say that this is an extremely important day for me, as it marks the third year anniversary of my meeting Roland, who has been my best friend for the last three years. We owe our friendship to Nintendo-Play, a Nintendo community, which is, unfortunately, no longer online. Nevertheless, our friendship has lasted until now, and that’s what’s important.

Unfortunately, I’m not home right now to celebrate HUGRDICK Day with Roland. I’m not even on the right continent. I’m in Europe right now (probably in Brugge) without Internet. I wrote this post on June 28th, and set it so that it would publish today (July 5, 2011)… so hopefully it worked. It’d be a shame if this didn’t post properly.

So anyway, that’s about all I have to say. Sorry I couldn’t be here for our big day, and thank you for being my best friend for the past three years. Here’s to being best friends for the rest of our lives.

Also, happy early birthday. Sorry for missing that too.
