Ok everyone, it’s finally here!
Here’s the update of what’s been going on over the past 2 weeks…
Saturday 9/25 – After the night before, I’m surprised we got this guy to come out with us once again. Another broadening of his horizons… introducing the Karaoke bar. I myself am not a fan of the Karaoke bar, but hey, if you’re drunk enough, does it even really matter?? Anyway, it was all great fun. Closing down a place is never a disappointment. One interesting point, this one guy that was in the group that night that I had never met before is a foster dad. How cool is that? Being a 26 year old foster father of 3 boys under the age of 10 can’t be easy. Anyway, I thought it was cool and deserved a mention. BTW, for those of you wondering, when our group goes to the Karaoke bar, we do not sing singly (is that even a word?), it’s always a group effort.
The week sucked then, because I got sick at that damn Karaoke bar… I guess sharing a mic with 30 other people isn’t the healthiest thing to do??
Thursday of this week though was kinda cool. This guy from work decided to throw a meatloaf and debate party. So we had meatloaf and watched the pres debate on tv. Different, but cool. BTW, there were no democrats at our party… go figure?
This weekend, having not yet fully recovered from the previous week of being sick, I stayed home on Friday night. I called in sick to the ballpark and just chilled and caught up on all my tv shows. Saturday was different though. It’s Oktoberfest, you can’t not go out and drink beer!! So that’s what we did. I called in ‘sick’ to work at the ballpark again and went on down. Just a note, riding the Zipper and the Gravitron after 5 beers may sound like a bad idea, but if you can hold your liquor, it’s great fun! And then, it was back to Karaoke… yup, it’s a Saturday night staple. It wasn’t as good as last time though. It was more crowded and we only got to sing 2 songs total, oh well! Of course, all that beer before and all the beer during and the few shots inbetween the beer put me right out of commission… we had a DD that wasn’t so good at the not drinking part, so we had to sober up at this person’s apartment before heading back to Scottsdale where I had left my car at someone else’s apartment. Then there was about another hour i spent at that apartment making sure that I was going to be good to drive. Needless to say, I got home and into bed at about 4am. And I had to get up and ready to go to the ballpark by 11am the next day. Good times! It’s been a crazy last two weeks.
Anyway, upcoming for this week is home searching and all that fun stuff. I have to get on the ball, I’m not really in a rush or anything, but if I find something I like, I may just have to pick it up!
That’s all for this update. I’m going to try to do them more often so these are so monsterous in size and don’t take up so much of my time.
