I’m still waitin for my date to kiss me or slap me
Cause there ain’t no way that I can be happy when I’m happy
Wow this has been, depending on your viewpoint, either the weekend from hell or the greatest weekend since sliced bread. Either way you slice it I am fucking exhausted.
Thursday evening my dad and I went to go see spam-a-lot, which was truly great. Not just great to spend some actual time with my dad, just him and I, but also the show. Got home late and basically went straight to sleep that evening.
Friday was work, then hang around for a little bit. Eventually I went out to a going away party for a buddy who is now in Tanzania doing his thing. I currently have an open invite to go visit him and his girl in Africa, however tickets are rather pricey to fly over there at the moment. While I was at that party (really just a couple of us having a few beers) I got a call from eau claire which brings me to Saturday.
Saturday I woke up and went over to Edina to have dinner with some family that I don’t see terribly often. It was really pleasant to see them. After that a quick run to Target and then that phone call from Friday comes into play. Apparently Larry was in town from VA on short notice to anybody. So I hopped in the car and drove down there to go catch lunch with Larry and Ben and whoever else wanted to join in. Instead of lunch the three of us plus Mike went to go see the new Indiana Jones movie. There were some positive parts and some huge fucking negative parts. Overall the movie got a great big “What the Fuck?!” from all of us. Then it was time to drive back home as I had a few parties to go to.
The drive back gets its own section. I was driving back and everything was cool, cruising along with the windows down and the moon roof open. Got a call telling me that the cities were under some severe weather. So I pulled into a rest stop and called my friend Paradise and had her check it out for me. She told me that there was some severe storms etc etc etc. So I drive back into the cities and it took me about an hour to go the last 30 miles. There was hail, 11 cars worth of accidents, tornado warnings, flooding on crosstown, thunderstorms and… sunshine. Some of the time. So the weather fucking sucked. But I made it home, had a beer and chilled out for a little bit before going to a friends girl’s birthday party were there was jello wrestling. Amusing as hell to watch. Then a burger, home and pass out.
Today I woke up and did my little cleaning etc. Then it was on the bike to cruise for a little bit before I went to a friends graduation party. Beautiful day and I will certainly be tan in a few days. Met a lot of her family which was interesting. After that was a nice cruise on the bike and then home to relax and be a vegetable for a little bit.
So yeah… either insanely awesome or insanely busy. Or both really. But a fuckton of fun.

Life is what you make of it. I have been making this year into the year of the Farn, come hell or high water was the phrase I believe that I used.
