The Dumb Shit I Do

You know, I've done a lot of dumb crap in my life.  Am I the most spontaneous person?  No, I'm very logical at the shit I choose and things I think about.  Hell, I like to believe I have a plan for everything.  So what happens when I don't think and just do?  Well, let begin with the basics shall we...

Yesterday was a day I said...oh screw it.  I'm just going to take off today.  So I had the notion that, well if I do this, I'm just going to do it.  Off work and no crazy particular plan.   I took off, and decided, hell it's time to do my own thing.  I spent the majority of my morning looking for chef knives and looking for something to do for the day.  Coming through the clutch?  David with a plan.  Because he took a half day, I decided to come up and have myself a little visit.  The start to a beautiful "Oyster" Day.  As you may or may not know, Oyster day is the day I say, oh fuck it, I do what I want, and the world is my oyster.  However on this special Oyster day Dave convinced me of two things, the internet sucks, and it's ruining people's lives.  The second being, I probably should go to Europe with him and have the greatest time ever.  I decided...yes the internet does suck, and yes.  I will go to Europe.

Here we go again folks, 2011 I went to Amsterdam for the very first time.  And in 2013.  I'm back on my European tour.  The city of Lights, and London itself.  It's going to be pretty magical.  And I'm all about that excitement right now.  I wanted something different, and being spontaneous like this, well it just seems like the most intelligent and logical move ever.  Am I going to enjoy myself on this trip?  You know god damn well I am.  I just honestly can't believe it's happening again to me, and I just can't believe it's happening this soon.  Welcome back, welcome back to something that is going to be out of this world and amazing.  Oh man, I can't believe I'm doing it.  Weird, but should be awesome.

Now, the post wouldn't be called dumb shit I do for a reason.  As I sit out here typing this, I realized two things.  I suck at drunken Jeopardy and that always leads me to do something idiotic, and you should never eat a 24 oz. steak like you're eating a 12 oz.  I gotta stop doing that.  However last night what do I go and do.  Hit up Arthur's Steakhouse and purchase myself a delicious and beautifully cut 24 oz., and of course right after that, I play stupid sloppy drunken Jeopardy.  It's a thing I do I guess.  I'm learning to accept this in life, and learning that...well.  I'm not the smartest guy out there.  Honestly, I'm actually a pretty dumb person, smart when I have to be, but just happy go lucky enough to be dumb enough for my own good.

So that leaves me in the position I'm in now.  As I woke up this morning, roughly around 4:45 a.m.  I said, okay I'll be quiet enough to pack my shit, and fold my sheets, and head on out.  Lo and behold, as I have everything prepped, and ready to leave I do three things.  Grab my Macbook Charger, my ducky tie, and lock the lock on the front door.  What I didn't do was grab my keys to my car.  Now I'm stuck outside Dave's apartment without my keys and with my laptop.  However, I'm not very far away, because I still have access to his internet, and a wall charger.  ^___^  Thank god, I swear if I didn't have bad luck, I wouldn't have any luck at all.  That's how that goes I guess...

Slainte,

I just like listening to Kina Talk...she's smart.

Just Don't Think About It

Easier said than done.  I'm trying not to think too much.  Trying not to let my brain wander where it shouldn't.  However, I am and will continue to do so.  Instead, my head will think of something that I'm not suppose to at all, and because of that, my work will suffer, i.e. today.  It's always that exciting feeling, and I guess, well I guess I got that feeling.  I don't know how long it's going to last, but man, sometimes it's that best feeling.

Well, I have a few big things coming up, this weekend is very important.  I gotta make sure this place is the place of all places.  I don't want to go in thinking that it's good, but turns out to be a money pit, draining every single funds that I have.  I'm very excited about the place, and this is my chance.  Time to take the next leap of faith.

I'm sitting here watching Bar Rescue, I've realized what fear can do to people, and how much people can be manipulated by it.  I guess owning your own business.  Actually, it's not just business, however I guess life in general.  Asking that special someone, or even getting that job you think you can't do.  I guess fear controls a lot.

Man, this is the where my heart is at right now, oh geez.

So I was listening to Preston and Steve today and they had a really awesome discussion.  Lets say it came down to it.  You had to either choose between your hearing or your sight.  A lot of people would say they would rather keep their sight, and lets think about this.  Yes, you'll still see all those spectacular colors, the faces of love ones.  You gotta imagine keeping your sight would be pretty amazing.

However, lets say that your sight or sound is taken from this point on, and not from birth.  Wouldn't it be more interesting now?  So lets say that you have all your memories of the sights you've taken in.  Wouldn't you want to keep your abilities to listen instead?  I think I would prefer to be blind than deaf.  I rather continue to be able to hear my daughter or son, my wife, my friends.  That's the thought I keep running in my head.  Imagine not hearing your children's first word.  It's definitely a thing to think about.

However once again, being blind is something not to sneeze about.  You definitely would be missing a lot.

I smile every time I watch that video.  It makes you realize how precious everything is in life.  Don't take anything for granted folks.  Just saying is all.  And with that...

Enjoy the sights and sounds of a song from Ms. Grannis herself.  She's amazing, and I definitely don't want to miss anything she puts out.

OYSTER DAY!!!

These past couple of weekends have been pretty awesome, I've gone to Harold's, hung out with Dave and Jay and Co., gone out on wacky adventures, and made some epic meals for my family.  Life has been pretty good, well except for the work part of course.  Things could always be better on that end, however, I'm striving to make changes, that's the goal at least.  However with all this in mind, I think the last weekend I had was amazing.  Oyster Day, those are the days I look forward to, and well, this Oyster Day may have been the best one out of them all.  The day started with us riding down to AC, for once, it was a gambling day where we brought nothing but good energy and Karma.  No parking on level 5 or 8, instead went into a one way direction and parked on level 1.  Wasn't the greatest of starts...but hell, Oyster Day.

We enter the building and start moving forward, and to continue the growth of bad luck, I leave my phone in the car, and rush back to go get it.  From here on out, it can only get better right?  Sure, sure...so the first thing we do.  Hit up a slot machine for Dave to play, good old penny slots.  Dave plays his share, and off to Keno.  Why Keno?  Why the hell not?  The world was our Oyster.  We could do whatever we want.  So off to the Keno table we went...and of course...no luck, dang.  Off to the real thing, table games.

We played a few rounds of roulette at open ends, however with the idea of having tables being 10 minimums, and only being allowed to play with 5 dollar chips on the inside, well it went fast.  However me and Dave won a few, and it kept us alive.  I watched Dave play a little longer, however it was just right before we hit up for lunch that's where I feel I made a huge run.  Started with just $60, and playing to keep alive, Dave and me choose 35, thirty-five being my number, and for some odd reason, I just don't want to give it up.  When Dave finally runs out of chips, and I promised him I play my last and final hand, well let's just say, having about 10 dollars on 35 didn't hurt, and the chip playing in front of it?  Yeah, not to shabby at all.  Now Dave preaches that he's the cooler.  However what Dave doesn't know is, he's my good luck charm.  I never win when Dave is not around, and even though he yells it, I don't want to gamble without Dave, that's when I win the biggest, 300 last time and almost 400 this time, it's not the hugest pot, however it's pretty big, considering that I'm always down 5 or 6 hundred.  You're not the cooler Dave, you're my good luck charm.  I need you there bud.

After the big win, I watched Dave play quite a few hands of blackjack...oh how I wanted to gamble more.  The thing I hate most, watching people gamble and not being able to play as well.  Ohhh...torture.  I feel bad Davie H. didn't win, however only $40 lost isn't that bad.  Afterwards, headed towards dinner, tried out that new rodizio place.  Not bad, not bad at all.  Is it Fogo or Chima, fudge no.  However the place is good for something in NJ, and you definitely cannot beat that.

All I can say is that Oyster Day was a major success...however it's this next portion that Dave has got me wondering.  He/them...I don't know.  They want me to set up this 10 year High School reunion.  Supposedly I'm the face of this operation...smh, I don't know why.  However I'm always up for a new adventure.  I've gotten in contact with a few of our student government reps, and well.  No reply yet, however this should be interesting.  I haven't really thought about high school in a while.  It will be nice though seeing some kids running back and forth, seeing where everyone has been.  I really want the 20 year one.  But beggars can't be choosers I guess...I should be glad I'm still alive for this 10 year one.  Anywhoo, I guess I'll start planning.  It's weird, for all the crappy things I put together, I'm really surprised the fellas want me to organize this.

I'm missing the Kina things in my life.  Can't wait for her new album to drop...until then, take a listen to her new cover.  Amazing.

A What Now?

First things first...I'm extremely annoyed that this blog did not save on Thursday.  Then again, this hasn't been the only thing that is getting to me.  Pretty sure I'm at my tipping point, I'm positive I'm almost getting burned out.

I'm getting to the point where I just feel like someone is in for a real hurt.  I'm definitely thinking, work is kicking my ass, and well, I'm really at that point where I think I just might be placing a two weeks notice.  I guess I shouldn't be complaining, I'm lucky I even have a job.  However, isn't there a breaking  point?  It just seems ridiculous.  There has to be something entirely different in life.  I don't have to keep doing this.  What happens when you're doing the job of 3 different people.  Is it fair?  Is it even feasible, I don't know if it is or isn't, but I just feel like someone should be punched in the face...don't worry, I'm not going to.

Life has been a roller coaster lately.  I'm looking forward to the future, and I'm definitely looking forward to something different.  Last week I hung out with Rohan and his friends.  It was a great time, definitely got my mind off of things, and really enjoyed an awesome Flyers game.  Great seats too, section 114, and only 14 rows from the ice.  It was awesome!  Afterwards we hung out with Rohan's friend in a No Libs apartment.  It was amazing, great place.  In the span of 5 hours, I watch Rohan drink an entire 30 pack, and then some.  Don't know how, but the kid can still drink.  I just can't do it anymore, quite interesting.  We also played an awesome game of baseball.  It's a drinking game that places baseball and beer pong together.  Line up cups in a power I, and that represents the bases, then put one cup out into a corner, call it a home run shot.  So with a team of however many people, you have two baseball teams.  You have a team up to bat, and team that catches, a very interesting concept to the game.  A ton of rules, but definitely easy to learn and play.  Definitely a game I want to try over the summer.

This weekend, I spent a lot of great times with my friends and family.  I need more weekends for myself.  I need more time to learn and pic up on a few things.  I guess I got big plans for myself.  Honestly, I got to stop watching these TV show about yachts, houseboats, and homes made out of epic things, jebus, seriously I gotta stop.

I'm just tired, and really need to get some sleep, will most likely cut this short, it sucks, cause I definitely had a longer blog on Thursday than this.  However, I got to make some calls and look at some pics of that restaurant I've been looking at.  Night y'all, a new blog will come tomorrow.

I wish I can see a Kina concert this year.  Sad that I can't...booo!  Anywhoo, enjoy the video, it's a good cover.

Oh and check this out.

Better than Kina?

I don't think so, but CL does...such a Kina basher.
