HI TONY!!!

Just a shout-out to the coolest and only mofo that reads this blog.

‘K. So as Forth said, Opening Day was a good time. Sure I didn’t get as drunk as I’d hoped and sure the sun didn’t stay out as long as it should have, but it was pretty sweet. 6 Smirnoffs later, we wound up bouncing around a couple bars near our apartment with our friends. As far as first legal bar experiences go, I wasn’t nearly wasted enough. I didn’t even get carded at the first place. We stayed there long enough for a beer and a shot and then headed over to get some food at a somewhat larger bar. The best part about that was the super-greasy delicious bacon cheeseburger Forth and I both ate, and licking the lime juice from my two Coronas off my fingers. Within the first hour I had a headache from the smoke, and yelling over the bad music resulted in a sore throat early in the morning. However, the old white-haired dude wearing a tan suit with silk scarf around his head that randomly popped out of the upstairs door next to our table in some sort of half-baked ’70’s time warp was probably enough to make the night worthwhile.

Really the only problem here was that I wasn’t drunk enough to enjoy loud, crowded, smoky areas. The next time I do the city’s finest bar scene, this problem will be easily fixed. If we’re all lucky enough, I’ll get tossed enough to start some shit with a half-naked sorostitute, because quietly making fun of them to friends can render only so much satisfaction.

(Psstt…Tony, in case you don’t remember, we are all going to Snow Angels on Friday.)

I didn’t notice any spelling errors…

Friday: Home Opening Baseball Game.

-We went without tickets -I took the afternoon off work- and met friends at the stadium.  We did end up buying tickets from a friend of a friend who had two that no one was going to use.  He wanted $40 -face value- and I said, “I’m not going to go in for $40.  I just don’t care that much.”  I proceeded to tell him go try to sell them because I don’t want you feeling obligated to give them to me and I’m not going to pay that much.  He gave them to me for $20.  Back felt bad about this because he had paid so much more than that but then later he was giving out beer to random strangers.  That made us think he didn’t care about money as much as he let on.

Besides when we got to our seats -not with all of our friends as we had thought- we were in the last row of the highest deck.  Someone had thrown up all over the place though so we had to move up two rows to avoid it.  So 18th row.

But it was fun to be in there and the parking lot party was fun so I hope Back had fun in the end.

In the news: Seven Third Graders Suspended for Planning to Kidnap Their Teacher. No I’m not making this up, I’d link it but Firefox and WordPress are being obstinate. I hope my students don’t get any ideas, parent/teacher conferences are coming up.
