Weekend Wrap Up , Random, Fitness
Friday night started out with a MAJOR CATASTROPHE. On the way home from work I stopped at the liquor (Liquor, I hardly knew her!) store for some tasty libations. I pick up some Boulevard Wheat for me and some Coors Light for my buddy Mr. Awesome. I get home, open the refrigerator and the light doesn't come on. "Well Crap" I think, the light bulb must be out. "No biggie," I think I'll just replace the light bulb tomorrow. I really don't need that light anyway. Why would I need it when the only thing I keep in there is beer, Diet Coke, and water? Then, after some further investigation I realize that all of the ice in the trays has melted. This is when the freak out begins. I have a 6 pack of Boulevard and a 12 pack of Coors Light to keep cold. I quickly think COOLER!! I have a couple of coolers. I call Mr. Awesome and tell him about the impending disaster. He agrees, this is a MAJOR CATASTROPHE, and says he will stop and get a couple bags of ice on his way to my house. I tell him that I'll have the coolers waiting. So, while he is on his way to my house I dig out one of my many coolers from the garage and some 409 cleaner to prepare the coolers for the ice and beer. Meanwhile the recently purchased beer is just sitting on the kitchen calendar warming up. I finish cleaning out the cooler just as Mr. Awesome arrives with the 2 bags of ice. He loads the cooler and I go back to investigating what the problem is with the refrigerator. First I check the fuse box. No problem there, all fuses are good too go. So I pull the refrigerator out from the wall to check out the plug. I find out that the refrigerator is plugged into some kind of energy saving contraption. I notice that there's a light on the gizmo but the light is not on. So I unplug the refrigerator from the thing-a-ma-gig (thingamagig, whaterva!) and plug it in to the wall. Open the door and the light is on and the motor in back is now running. FUCK YEA!! I fixed the mama-jama! Cancel the red alert, cancel the General Quarters, Stand down the battle stations! I have just averted one of the most dangerous catastrophes my house has ever experienced. It's a good thing too because I don't have the money to either fix or get a new fridge. We celebrate by opening (and drinking) our first of many beers for the night. I relish in my awesomeness for the next few minutes. Then I take a shower and we head out. We decide to start at Paddy O'Quigleys in the Crossroads District near 20th and Grand. It was out first time there so we decide to hang out there just rappin' and catching up on the usual stuff. We then went to The Cashew across the street. Both are good bars. Paddies has a shit load of TV's and they have a back room that they have already rented out a few times for fantasy football draft parties. They run it in conjunction with the Herford House which is across Walnut from there. There were a lot of people at both bars but neither was as packed as the last time I was down there on First Fridays a few weeks ago. After that we went to Kelly's where we hassled a table full of girls that were out for a bachelorette party. Then we ended the night at The Twin. Saturday I just sat around recovering. Saturday night I stayed in and watched Snakes on a Plane. WHAT A SHIT WHOLE OF A MOVIE! Who do I call to get the 2 hours of my life back for watching this movie? But it does have THE most horrific scene in a movie I have ever seen, NOT one of the most but THE MOST HORRIFIC scene EVER in the history of ALL MOVIES. (SPOILER ALERT!!) Just as the snakes start to bite everyone but before anyone knows it this dude is in the toilet pissing. Then a snake comes up from inside the bowl while he is pissing and bites him on his wang!!! I can't even begin to describe how horrible that scene was, let me just tell you that I will be checking ALL toilets and urinals for snakes the next time I use them, and forget about pissing outside no fuckin' way! Sunday I FINALLY cut the grass. The grass was so long that while doing it I think I ran over a tiny Philippine village. But it still only took me about an hour or so. Then after surveying my awesomeness I decided that I deserved a reward, so I took a nap. ************************************************* So now we are up to right now Sunday night. I'm watching the Pittsburg Steelers VS Philadelphia Eagles in High Def. Let me tell you how fuckin' AWESOME this is if it wasn't for this laptop giving me 3rd degree burns on my thighs and testicles then I would have a massive boner! It's that AWESOME PEOPLE! Now that everyone is fully uncomfortable, and creeped out, lets' move on to some random thoughts. ************************************************* This week, Wednesday the highlight will be a rules meeting at a bar in Lenexa regarding the fantasy football league that Reggie and I are in, this will be our 4th year in this league. This meeting is to discuss and propose any rule changes, pay our league fee, and pick the draft order. It also starts our weekly Wednesday night meetings which will continue for the next 4 months. The draft for this league is a week from Wednesday. ************************************************ Saturday will mark the one year mark for the diet which means I have to get to the gym for the first time in 2 months for a weight in. I have not yet decided which night I will go, maybe later in the week like Thursday, or Friday. Hopefully, I will be below 170 pounds so I can say that I have officially lost over 80 lbs. I'll let ya know how that goes next week. I also have to get serious about training for the 2 half marathons that I'm doing in October (the 20th) and November (19th). My last 5K of the year is on Saturday the 8th in Overland Park. And now that I can smell my scrotum being bar-be-que'd I will bid you all a good night and wish you all a happy week. Thanks for reading.
