You've Got to be Shitting Me

Last night Rob and I went out to Frick's Bar in Midland. It was totally cool. Their jukebox has EVERYTHING. We listened to Alkaline Trio, the Misfits, Horrorpops, Arctic Monkeys, etc. It was ridiculous. We also played a shit ton of pool.

Anyways, we were playing pool when these totally hammered ladies came up and wanted to play with us. So we played with them all the while they were stumbling all over the bar and continuing to purchase more alcohol at the bar. I was amazed that the bar tender kept feeding them drinks. So, 2am rolls around and one of the girls wants to leave. She stumbles her ass to her car and starts fishing for her keys. Needless to say, I followed her to her car and leaned against her driver side door. I felt like a guy from the police force trying to talk down a jumper from the top of a building. Anyways, she ended up losing her keys somewhere (thank god) and had to go back inside to ask her friend for her keys. Getting to my point now, this woman was 31 years old. Thats sad. I do not want to be a 30+ years old and still going to the bar and getting so hammered that I think I can drive my drunk ass home. I mean, if I'm single, it'd be fun to go and hit on the younger ladies... until it gets creepy of course. But honestly, thats just sad.

So after the bar closed and Rob and I left, we went to Lil' Chef. If you are familiar with Lil' Chef, you know that it is basically a cheap version of Denny's. Yes, I said that... a CHEAP version of Denny's. I know what you're thinking, how could there possibly be a cheap version of an already CHEAP food chain. Well, trust me, it is. Anyways, Rob and I went in around 2:30 and didn't end up leaving until 5. All we bought was coffee and all we did was talk. It was actually really nice to be able to talk with him finally. When he and Jessica visited last time it was very fun and all, but Rob and I didn't get much time to talk about the usual topics (ladies, how much we want ladies, ladies parts, oh, and politics). So it was really nice to be able to talk with Rob like we used to when we lived together. Also, hopefully I am convincing him that moving back to the Lansing area and living with me is a good idea. Maybe things will be like they were during school, even if just a little bit.

OK, I should totally be sleeping. Time to shower and get ready to golf 18 holes with my cousin. Lates.

Is this love?

I knew from the moment Andrea and I broke up that being single was going to be hard for me. I'm just not good at being alone. I'm not sure what it is, but I tend to get very lonely, easily. It is rather pathetic to be honest. I was like this after I broke up with Ashley a few years ago too. I latch on to people much too quickly. For instance, Jessica came up to visit a couple weeks ago. Of course, I jumped into the whole "she is so cool, I'd like to see something further." I'm pretty sure I scared her the weekend after she left. My dumbass sent stupid text messages when I was drunk up north. The last thing I want to seem is desperate. Bah, oh well, fuck it.

Anyways, I'm just going to tough it out being single for a while. I'd like to hang out my friends a lot more. I'm going to see about visiting Ashley and/or Jessica in Detroit at some point in the next few months. I'm also going to try to arrange a trip to L.A. to visit Lareina. Besides maybe one or two people in my life right now, I'm not interested in anything besides friendship. I need to get out and meet people, make new friends, have a lot of fun (obviously - I'm planning to visit TONS OF FUN!!! ).

I just remember the night I met Andrea. When we were going out, I remember telling myself FUCK trying to find a girl. I had a bad experience with this bitch Erica and it made me very bitter about the dating "game." I just wanted to go out and have a good time. So, what happened? I was having a GREAT time with friends at Brett's party. It was another memorable night with the usual 12B crew. I pissed off the roof of their place. I was drunk. Then, out of nowhere I met Andrea. I guess it is just testment to the fact that the less you look, the more likely you will to stumble upon someone that you can have a good time with.

"You told me once I made you smile, but we both know damn well I didn't. I'm not much of a jester, but I'd test poisoned food for you. Your majesty, you're royal blue. I'm royalty, my king of pain." Alkaline Trio's version of Queen of Pain.

Sunday Bloody Sunday

OK, I officially hate Sundays.

I always have way too much free time. I end up sitting around my apartment, watching ridiculous amounts of TV, scouring my cupboards for food, and thinking about stupid shit way too damn much.

Now, when I'm trying to go to bed, I can't sleep because I fell asleep in front of the TV too many times earlier. FUCK!

A night to relax

Detroit Shock are WNBA World Champs... congrats ladies!

I'm listening to Reverend Horton Heat... diggin' it. This "rockabilly" music is actually pretty damn catchy. I will have to listen to it more in my car when I have a chance to pay attention to the lyrics and can really crank it up without worrying if I'm annoying other residents in my apartment complex.

Now that I'm single I've been trying to get in contact with some long lost friends. Jessica came to visit last weekend. Rob came down from Midland to hang out with us too. It was a LOT of fun. If Ashley had been here I would go as far as to say it was "Tons of Fun," but maybe next time she can come up and hang out too. I also talked to Lareina a few days ago. I have neglected a lot of relationships that are very important to me. I am going to do my best to include these people in my life a lot more now than I have the past couple of years.

Last night was the Auto-Owners "Company Fun Night." As lame as that sounds, its actually just a 9-hole golf scramble held right after work. I was on a team with a couple guys I work with. It was a LOT of fun. We ended up coming in second place, which is good but we were really hoping to get first. Anyways, I had planned to go to East Lansing and party with the usual group, but they were going to some party on the opposite side of campus that I didn't feel like dealing with. So, I decided to join up with Dusty and his roommate Jason. We met up with a bunch of the people that played in the golf scramble at Frank's Press Box. Anyways, a whole lot of drinking later and I was wasted with all of my co-workers and my old boss - haha. It was hilarious. One of the girls, April, had a birthday this weekend that she was celebrating on Friday. Dusty and I both bought her a few shots and drinks. My tab was freaking huge, and by the end of the night she was hugging the toilet. I crashed on Dusty's couch and drove back at 7am to sleep until 10am. It was fun.

Today I went to the MSU football game vs. EMU. I picked up Linda (my old roommate) and we went to the Auto-Owners hospitality tent to eat lunch before the game. We went to the first half of the game. It didn't rain much once the game started, until just before halftime when it started to pour. We left when it started pouring, since I had won the tickets at work I didn't mind leaving early.

I sure do miss school though. Going to the game and walking through campus made me want to go back to school so bad. Its sad to say, but I really miss working grounds. It was such an easy job, all I had to do was show up, mow the grass a bit, weed, and then I was done. I got to enjoy the beautiful campus and be around all of my best friends at the end of the week. I sure do miss the 12B girls. Thursday nights, Coors Light 40s, drinking games, bikes, the balcony, and stupid fun shenanigans were the best! I didn't appreciate school nearly as much as I should have. Maybe it wasn't school itself, but instead the friendships that I made. Yea... I took those friendships for granted. It is hard to find friends that you can be completely yourself around without feeling judged. With the 12B girls I always felt like myself. If any of you are reading this, I just want to let you know that I never had as much fun as the times when the 4 of you, me, Rob, and whoever else were together. It was great.
