Hey Hey, My My!

Well, as usual I'm late on my update, but here goes. The flights to and from Texas were horrible, we were in a dry city and I spent 2 out of 3 nights sleeping on the floor. However, if given the chance, I'd do it all over again in a heartbeat!

The trip out was long and tiring, but I finally made it to Texas. I was the first one to get there, and made 3 more trips back to the airport to pick everyone up on Thursday night. We had dinner @ Shayna's dad's house. I asked for hot sauce and started pouring the Tabassco on my enchiladas and Shayna's little brother started freaking out "You're going to kill yourself man, do you know how hot that is?" It was awesome. From there we went to the hotel and I passed out on the bed for a nice 10 minute power nap. From there, I went to a bar with John and Scott. After an Irish car bomb, half a snifter of Grand Manier and about 4 Bass Ales, it was time for John's last stand as a bachelor. We went to some skeezy strip club in Dallas where I spent most of the night sucking down some strange Texas beer, Shiner Bock. It tasted good at the time, but man, was I hating it the next morning. We left the strip bar at 2:00am where I passed out in the car and had to be dragged into the hotel room.

I woke up at 12:00pm and felt bad. I drank a bunch of water, and a nice long shower. Scott, John and I went to pick up their tuxes and made a much needed stop at Wendy's. Mmmmm, grease! From there we went and picked up Alyse, Alison, Brian, Laura and Eric, the car was a little over filled. Back to the hotel, where I met Allison for the first time. The girls and I got all dressed up for Halloween, we were the Black Eyed P's. It was dope. We met up with Shayna & Co. at Humperdinks. That is where I had a lot more Bass, another Car Bomb and I got Jenks to do a prairie Fire with me (That's a shot of tequila with Tabassco in it.) At this point I was drunk enough to sing and committed numerous Karaoke atrocities, including White Wedding, Paradise City, The Joker and the always loved Living On a Prayer.

Saturday was a day of loafing. We stayed in the room the whole day and hung out. Around 4:00 or so the girls started getting ready for the wedding. We were at the Four Seasons by 5:30, and I must say, we were some hot bitches. The Four Seasons was way cool. Totally above my credit limit for life. The wedding started a little after 6:00 which was good cause Robbi made it just in time. The ceremony was absolutely awesome. I'd never been to a Jewish wedding before, so I wasn't quite sure what to expect. John was all choked up and looked liked he was about to cry, while Shayna had to the biggest smile on her face I'd ever seen, she looked like a 10 year old girl that just got a puppy. After the ceremony we hit the open bar. Crown Royal, on the rocks, the start to any good evening. The dinner was fucking great, there was soup, salad, main course and cake. Not to mention tons of wine. Then the dancing started. I kept sucking back a lot of Fat Tires. That's when I hit the dance floor and ended up singing again... on stage. Yeah, I think I was a bit TOO drunk, but I had fun, hopefully it wasn't embarrassing for anyone. After the wedding, we tried to find a place to buy beer, but it was of no use. We headed back to the hotel. I remember being outside having a bunch of debates with people over ethics, social construction and the state of California. Eventually I made it back to the room and hung out a while more.

I had asked for a wake up call for 5:45am, they called at 6:45am, needless to say I missed my 6:55am flight out of Dallas. I got the shuttle to take me to the airport and talked to the lady at the counter. She was really cool and got me home ok, just a couple hours late.

Overall it was a blast! I had so much fun hanging out with all my homies and can't wait to do it again. As for Texas, not sure I'm in a big rush to get back there, but if that's where everyone is, I can make an exception.

As for life right now, things are good. I've got next week off from school for Thanksgiving, so monday night I'm driving down to the Bay Area and staying at Kelly's place. Tuesday I'm going to try and visit some folks and then drive to SLO to see la familia. I have to work on Friday, so I will be driving back to Eureka on Thursday, probably leave SLO in the morning, then take a break in the Bay Area, try and see Justin and then make the last leg of the Journey up to Eureka. Should be fun, I'm really looking forward to seeing my parent's new house and stuff, although, I'm not too stoked about the idea of sleeping on the couch.

I know you're dying to see pictures of my trip to Texas, so just click the button below. I also have a gallery of the 10 pictures I took in Vegas back in August. I'm going to try and get a lot more stuff on there, we'll see how it goes.
