What A Night!

I went out and celebrated my 21st birthday last night and what a night it was.

Ryan, one of my best friends from MDA camp, came down from South Bend, IN to celebrate with me. It was really good to see him outside of camp, which has never happened before. So, it really meant a lot to me that he, his mother, and his sister came down to celebrate.

The night/party started off with dinner at Ned's Corner Pub, a locally, family owned restaurant. There were about 15 to 17 people at dinner. It was a good time for sure. After dinner, they brought out a surprise. The surprise, a birthday cake, but not just any birthday cake. It was a Boob Cake. That's right folks, a cake that looked like a girl's chest. It was totally awesome. After the cake had been cut, my mom took a piece of cake, that was mostly icing, and hit me in the face with it like it were a pie. It made for a great laugh.

Once we finished dinner and ate cake, it was time to hit the bars. Our first stop was to another locally, family owned restaurant/bar, Martino's. We stopped in at Martino's because my mother and I are friend's with the owners. Mike, the head owner, wanted to buy me my first drink. I had a drink called a Slow Screw. For those that aren't familiar with this particular alcoholic drink, its a mixed drink that is made up of slow gin and orange juice. At first taste, I wasn't sure if I was going to like it or if I was even going to finish it. I forced myself to keep drinking it since Mike bought it for me. By about the third or fourth swig, I was starting to like it. While still at Martino's, mom bought me five dollars worth of pull tabs and I didn't win a damn thing. Oh well, that is why its called a gamble. We hung out for about an hour or so at Martino's and headed to our next stop.

The next stop was Big Daddy's, a strip club. Let me go ahead and warn everyone now, I am about to go into more detail than some of you may want to know. I must advise you to keep reading this particular paragraph at your own discretion. This is your warning and I will not be held responsible for your reading on and the possibility of anyone being offended.....We went into Big Daddy's and got a table. The waitress came around and took our drink orders. I ordered another Slow Screw. Once the drink came, I got a drink of it and then Ryan and I went up to the stage for the entertainment. At first, I sort of felt a bit uncomfortable since it was my first time being in a strip club. The dancers were pretty good looking gals. When the first girl was going around for tips, she put on a show for Ryan by putting her, let's say, her goods in his face and doing some dancing for him. I couldn't help but start laughing and egging him and her on. Then it was my turn. I was kind of shy and slightly uncomfortable, but went with the flow. After the first one, I started feeling more comfortable. We hung out around there for a few hours. Before we decided to leave, Ryan wanted to get a lap dance. His mom asked if I was going to get one and I had told her that I didn't think so. She told me that she didn't come all the way from South Bend to have me back out from getting a lap dance. I told that I would then. Once Ryan had come back from his dance, it was my turn. My lap dance was pretty hot. She was all over me. Rubbing up on me and helping me rub her up. Whoo, it was hot, hot, hot, hot, hot. It was great. I must say, if all of that makes me a dirty old pervert, then I am and am damn proud of it!

Once we left the strip club, we decided that we were going to head to another bar called Scotty's. When we got to Scotty's we saw that the parking lot was jam packed. We figured that there was probably no way of getting Ryan and myself in. Ryan said that he was starting to get a little tired and was getting cold. So, we all made the decision to call it a night and headed home.

Over all it was great day and I had a blast. I didn't end up getting drunk or even buzzed for that matter as I only had a total of 2 drinks all night, those being the Slow Screws. To me, its really not a bad thing that I didn't get wasted because I, 1) didn't have to throw up and have a hang over, and 2) I am able to remember everything that went on. The fact that Ryan was able to come down and celebrate with me, made it that much better. I know that had Ryan not made it down, I would not have had nearly as good of a time as I did. Thanks a lot for coming Ryan. I really appreciate it. I love you brother. That birthday is a day that I certainly will not forget.

Thanks for reading.

'Till next time.

My Take on Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day, a day full of love and a lot of other mushy crap. I think that Valentine's Day sucks and is a waste. I don't know, maybe I am just bitter because I do not have anyone to call my Valentine, but I just absolutely hate this damn day. The more that I sit and think about it, the more that I loath it.

It makes me sick when I see two people all so lovey dovey, kissing and a-hugging, get a room people! There is a time and a place for that crap and in front of me is not it.

On this day, I try to avoid anything that I can that deals with love and this stupid "holiday." The problem seems to be that it is EVERYWHERE and cannot be avoided.

Now don't get me wrong, I can be a romantic guy but you see, I have to be with a woman first and that ain't going to happen anytime soon. It seems that when I find someone that I am interested in and would like to have a relationship with, she either, a) has a boyfriend, b) doesn't want to be in a relationship at the time, or c) gives me that lame "I just want to be friends" line. Rejection is a real bitch folks, and quite frankly, I am damned sick and tired of it! My search for a "significant other" is over and will probably never resume. If there truly is someone out there for me, then ya know what, she can find me because I am fed up from trying to find her.

Anyway, enough of my rambling on and being on my soapbox. Hopefully next time I write, I won't be so damned hostile.

'Till next time.

[Insert Catchy Title Here]

Hey all. I know I've been slacking, and that I needed to write something so here I am. This entry is probably going to end up being a hodgepodge of stuff.

Well, all of last week I was sick. I doubt that anyone really wants too many details on my illness so I will just say that it had to do with my bowels. Just use your imagination and I am sure you can figure out what I mean. It started on Saturday night and didn't get better until around Thursday. To say that it wasn't fun at all would be a huge understatement. I didn't think I was ever going to quit! Thankfully I have, for the time being, and am doing well again.

Super Bowl Sunday has come and gone. I admit that I rooted for Seattle to win the big game, but knew that Pittsburgh was more than likely going to come out the victor. Seattle put up a bigger fight than I had expected them to. They came out like a shark that smelled blood and was fighting with all they had. In the end though, the Steelers played better ball and won the game.

Now that football season is over, I must wait for baseball to start up. Spring Training is just around the corner as pitchers and catchers report to their spring training facilities in just a few days.

The NASCAR season gets underway next Sunday with the 2006 Daytona 500. Normally, I am a fair weather fan when it comes to Nascar, however, this year I am thinking that I might pay a little closer attention to it this year while its in season. My boy, Tony Stewart, its the defending Nextel Cup champion. Let's hope that he has a good season and as is able to make a run to defend that championship.

I meant to mention this a few entries back but never did. The last time I reported about the schooling front, I said that I was forced to take a semester off due to financial aid problems. Well, I am still having problems but the school is paying for my tuition for one class this semester, which I am taking online. So I am in another English class and its moving along. Its starting to require more and more time and effort, so its about to kill me. I am starting to get burned out and its a sucky feeling. Hopefully that will ease over time and I can get things done. One has to hope.
Well, that is about all I have this time around. I hope to updated again in the near future. Hopefully it won't be a month to month and a half before I do. We'll see how it goes. Thanks for reading and take care.

'Till next time.
