The Weekend
Monday, June 20, 2005So I'm sure you're all dying to know how the weekend went right?
Ok, OK! Stop begging! I'll tell you already.
Friday:
SO Friday was the "Mid season warm up party" at my place. Started way slow, but got going pretty well. I told people we'd start grilling at 6, but no one showed till 7:30. After that they trickled in pretty regularly. Got up to a good 20 people or so including all four of my neighbors, except the couple from unit 3. Collectively we went through a couple cases of beer and a liter each of Beam and Bacardi.
As the party dwindled and the neighbors went to sleep, I decided to should be the nice neighbor and call it a night for my party. The remaining kickball peeps and I went over to a teammates house that lives about 5 blocks away. We chilled there for a bit and then decided to go close down a bar a block up the street, which we did then almost got in a fight.
One of the guys made some stupid comment about a guys shirt being a "gay green shirt." Unfortunately the guy was gay. So he gets all bitchy my friend apologizes profusely, but the guy just keeps being an ass. A group for other people comes out of the bar, apparently looking for a fight because they start talking shit and at one point claim a different fried a half block away who had nothing to do with it "hates gay people" so one of them runs down the block and tries to start a fight with him.
God I hate stupid drunk people.
Ended up all going peacefully though.
Saturday:
That was the WAKA Mid season Party. Started drinking at 4:30. Our party had free keg beer with a 5$ donation to the Children's Cancer Research Fund. Definitely had a good time. Unfortunately my team lost in the Championship Flip Cup tourney match, but we had fun anyway and donated our second place winnings back to the kids.
Some other buddies showed up at the same bar just about the time that the Mid Season Party shut down. A couple Jag Bombs later I was ready to go again. We shut down that bar, headed to the food joint across the street. I tell ya, a greasy burger and fries at 3 in the morning sure does hit the spot.
Sunday:
Got up, did some cleaning, gave a tour of my new condo to OCD-Anxiety girl's mom since she hadn't seen the place. After that, they went over to her brothers to help them get their new place into shape.
A little later, I went out to lunch with Conservative Girl's family who is in town for an extended weekend. I was rather surprised at this considering "The Talk" last week. They did know about it and were still super nice. This transition to friend is going way better than expected. Hopefully this isn't a calm before the storm.
After lunch, I gave them a tour of the new place as well, then we went out to an Art Fair in Minneapolis. Everyone (including myself) was surprised I didn't buy something for the new place. The problem was everything I liked was way too expensive. I found a beautiful set of 3 square paintings that would have looked awesome in my place, but the set was $2400. Yeah right. Oh well.
Chilled out the rest of the night.
All in all it was a good weekend. Though, like usual it's Monday and I want a nap.
Wake me when it's lunch time ;O)

Bypass the cost of expensive art.
Do what I do - find a hot girl who does nature photography and smoothtalk her into giving you some prints. -

"Nancy boys"...LOL
Yeah, my brother doesn't consider Bacardi to boy a "man's" drink either. ;-) I prefer Malibu Rum over Bacardi any day.
Good to hear all is stable in regard to the women in your life. ;) -

Dear Slacker,
I am still alive! Thanks for the encouraging comment to my "going away" post. I am still going to be away from the blogging world for a while, but I just wanted to let you know that I am still around. Also, it looks like you have made a lot of new friends in the last month.
Awesome!
Well, take care,
