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.

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.
