Beeeeeerfest, beerfest beerfest beerfest, beeeeeerfest beeerfest...

Another year, another Beerfest, and I'm not going to lie.  I may not have drank as much as previous years, however this has been one of the best ones yet.  Let me give you an idea why.  As always, we started the night before with making pretzel necklaces, and this year me and Dave went with the peanut bandoliers.  It was pretty exciting really.  Difficult to make?  Heck yes, a little too difficult, but the rewards were well worth it.  Definitely well worth the 2 and some odd hours to make.

We dd it!

Let the day of Beerfest begin.  Every year for Beerfest, we start the day off with breakfast at the diner, and every year I do something idiotic and get something carb filled, and I get so stuffed I just don't want to drink as much, so this year I thought proteins, that's where I'm going this year.  Steak and eggs, I think the plan worked very well...I think.  I'm also glad Dave decided to ride or die with me on this as well.  It makes me feel good, cause if I felt like crap, I always have my boy there with me...it may have been the wrong choice.  Oh well.  

Ahh...Beerfest, the festival started with the best part of course...waiting in line.  It was a good 45 minute wait, but once we finally got in, we were like a kid in some kind of store as it may be.  Running from end to end, and not caring about what beers we drank.  Always an amazing experience.  Okay, maybe everyone else cared, just not me.  I'm not a beer drinker, I'm a scotch drinker, but as I move along, the more I drink, the happier I get, so to me at this part, alcohol was alcohol.  Oh, and everyone loving our bandoliers?  That just made it all more awesome.  However I gotta admit, I may have fucked up after offering someone my nuts and she pulled a string off one of my bandoliers.  Dang, not a good start after five minutes in, but hey, it's Beerfest, and I sure as hell wasn't going to let that get me down.  Now the next couple hours were a blur, it went by way too fast, and all I remember is John and Jean, and Jenny. I'm pretty positive I got her number and we're suppose to hangout with her soon.  Why am I always drunk when I see these people.  Smh...sigh.  Hahaha, and I do remember one more thing, remember how one girl pulled one of my strings?  Pretty positive I should have known that was foreshadowing for the future, about half hour left into Beerfest, a girl tried to sneak and grab one of my peanuts, I turned around and caught her, but me being the nice guy, I said, go ahead you can have one.  However before I got to finish my sentence and tell her to just crack it, she rips it off my bandolier and the whole thing falls apart.  If I was sober, I'm pretty positive I wouldn't have not said anything terrible.  But you caught me off a drunk day, and I love screaming shit.  So out of no where and I'm pretty positive this girl was not expecting this, but I screamed, "THIS IS WHY WE CAN'T TAKE YOU ANYWHERE NICE!!!!  I DON'T EVEN KNOW YOU!!!!"  That was my highlight of my day.  Oh and Dave...you should've done the field goals ahead of time.  Dammit Dave.

When end our drunken luxury with dinner at Don Pablos.  Why?  Because we can, and that's what we do.  Oh, and we definitely finished with margaritas.  Enchilada's, chile relleno, and tacos...done.  The scenes go hazy around here.  That's where we get to attempt the new thing...Hadouken-ing.  It's in my blood, I'm too Asian not to attempt this.  It has some of the awesomest affects, and well.  I'm a huge fan of this jib.  It's awesome.  Here are some samples.  

And then...IT.WAS.ON!!!

Failed attempts started in the lot:

Cars were coming!

We got a good one though, me and Dave Hadouken-ing the group.  Nice job guys, nice job.  

All in all, a fantastic weekend.  It was amazing, however when I'm with these guys, it's always amazing, and I just love these guys.  

Lottery, Beerfest, Asian-Day, basically busy weekend.

Wow, I thought last weekend was busy.  This was an absolutely monstrous weekend, and it all began on Friday.  Friday was nice.  I got myself all hyped up for the Mega Million drawings and brought over $45 worth of lottery tickets.  Why?  Cause I thought I should play the odds.  I'm so stupid.  But you gotta play to win right?  Right.  So here I am Friday evening, hanging with Dave and Steffie enjoying our pizza and making pretzel necklaces for Beerfest.  First things first.  Pretzel necklaces get done, and we are on our way to play some hockey.  Steffie goes to bed, and it's up to me and Dave to finish the night out.  Lets just say the evening ended with a little drama, and the calling of cops.  I have to say, we are the dumbest smart guys I know.  *Sigh*

Saturday is upon us, and well.  I like to say I remember a majority of this day/evening, however it was kinda hazy.  And technically I didn't start remembering till about 6ish.  All I remember was that I drank a shit ton of beer, and that I had an epic lobster roll with the awesome Stephanie...she's such a trooper.  GTs this year.  Still can't help and say that I sure as hell missed Dave a ton.  I love that guy.

Well as for today, today was Asian Day.  I was suppose to help CL buy an iMac, but she insisted that I didn't need to help her.  So here we are, anywhoo, a little dim sum action, then boba tea, Reading Terminal, then a mini bar crawl.  It has been a very busy weekend.  Shout out to Ro, Player, and Crystal.  Those kids are the shit, almost honestly.  I'm glad I've surrounded myself with great people.  All my friends are family, I'm glad I have a great family to hangout with.

Another thing guys.  Still taking donations for my RTK donation page.  Would really appreciate the help and shout outs.  You guys will make it happen, and I appreciate it.  Much love everybody and peace peace.

Help spread the love people please.  Whether it's Twitter, Facebook, blogspot, or whatever.  Help me fight cancer and please make a donation.

Mondays and its Witchcraft

It's Monday, it's suppose to be Grind my Gears...blah blah blah.  Yeah, it's not, but I do know one thing.  It is Monday, and as I sit here listening to Frank Sinatra on my record player, I'm thinking where am I going to be in the next 7 or 8 months from now.  Will I be planning my trip to Italy, or will it be Japan.  Lots of good things I guess.  I think in the pass 36 hours I have finally decided.  Lets hold on that European dream trip, and head to the land of the rising sun.  That's right, this year I'm going to Japan.  It's the only logical explanation really.  Well to me it is.  I really didn't want to go to Italy without CL, so this was the best logic.  Well, now that that is explained, there has been something on my mind lately.

Quitting my job and becoming an auctioneer at storage facilities.  Okay okay, seriously that's not going to happen, but man it would  be pretty cool to do something like that.  Who would've thought that there are jobs out there that are like that.  No me, but I'm definitely down with that.  It be cool if they had a job out there where you would test out hotels.  How epic of a job would that be?  Or evening being a sommelier or beer taster.  I want that job.  How do we apply for those types of jobs?  After doing a little research, a degree in hospitality probably would've helped.  Once again, not choosing the correct major is killing me.  Dang it.

Anywhoo, lots of good things are coming up.  Beerfest, Kina concert, St. Patty's day, and many many more to even mention.  I'm getting to that exciting portion in my life again.  Man, there is just so much for me to do and want to do.  Lately, I've been playing with my record player.  I love this thing, something about it, the static-y, cracking sound.  It just sounds right for some songs.  Sometimes it's what makes music sounds right.

You know things have been going well.  I don't know, everyone is doing the right thing, living life, and getting things set up.  I kinda feel we're all at that age.  This is the first time this year.  It's different this year you know.  So as I sit here watching the Sixers beat up on the Magic, it's seems this year is a year of everyone doing their own thing.  I guess I should've expected it right.  Me and Dave had this conversation before, and guess it's just coming to fruition now.  Hahaha, I can't believe how true our conversation came to light.  But that's life for you, and I'm pretty excited about it for everyone.  I guess I say it now more often, after watching Neel's service today.  I realize it's just way too short, this thing we call life.

I guess, cause it is Monday, but you know what really grinds my gears, why do people have to push their religion on me?  I'm a Buddhist, I don't blast it out there for everyone to hear or know, but just because I am, doesn't mean I should be told that I'm not going to see my friends when I pass.  I believe in the afterlife, I believe in reincarnation, so death to me is death.  Am I suppose to be punished because I'm not a believer of Jesus Christ and God.  *Sigh*

Live life people, it's short, and anything can happen.  Be good, and much love folks.
