I am 18 again

The video is here
I heard this over Thanksgiving and for a moment I was 18 and wild again.



Half drunk and trying to dress ourselves we yell at each other.
I just got outta class! I need like, twenty minutes! I gotta shower and drink a beer!
Drink a beer in the shower!

What?

Take a beer into the shower with you! It'll be cold. Just HURRY THE FUCK UP!
We're never sure of a plan. No one know who's driving, where we're going, how many people are going, nothing is settled or solid.

We 2 cell phones between the... 7 or 8 of us.

Come the fuck on! We're never gonna get to Raleigh!
I thought we were going to Wilmington tonight.
Shit. That's what I meant.
The suite is loud and full of smoke. Beer is rampant.

Someone has taken a shower in Curve cologne and the whole place is stinking of Curve.
Justin! Where the fuck is he?
JUSTIN!
I'm taking a shit!
Well, fuckin pinch it off! We've got to go!
I'm waiting, watching, thru blurred eyes.

Andy dresses in pleather pants. Sha sha shoes. Too much gel for anyone.

I'm thugged out in my Lugz sneakers, jeans, long sleeve t-shirt with a t-shirt over it.

Come the fuck on! You're fine.
JAY WOULD YOU QUIT FUCKIN AROUND. YOU DON'T NEED TO SHAVE YOUR PUBS. FUCK THAT. NO ONE WANTS TO HEAR ABOUT MANSCAPING YA FAG.

still yelling at each other, trying to walk/stumble/run down the stairs to the parking lot where it's already 10:30 before we leave for wilmington.

is ass-girl going?
You mean Lauren?
Yeah, Lauren.

Lauren's a slut.
Bet I can hook up with her.
You do that. She's a slut. I wouldn't fuck with that for anything.

The DJ is spinning out countless orgasms, liquid smooth as the beats pound the floor in time with the hips and gyrations of hundreds of college kids all looking for a moment of love with a stranger in a dance floor in a college town.

I'm too drunk to stand.
WHAT?
I"M FUCKED UP!
ME TOO!
LET'S GO DO A SHOT AT THE CAR.
The liquor is in the car. The whole way we've done shots of SoCo.

.......the hangover to come

-it is what it is-

Day Three

Yes, I kinda like that idea of marking them off as the days roll bye... 27 days left. Can't even think of getting tired yet. "We've only just begun". This is fantastic.

So, today, Saturday, I did yardwork. How is it that I end up doing what I always hated doing while I was growing up? I think it has sonmething to do with having my own yard. It's very.... inspiring or motivation to watch MY OWN YARD take shape like potter's clay. Amy helped. She raked the pine straw up and then put it around the flowers. Not a bad idea; saves on buying straw and beautifies the yard. Yard Tips from Joshua. Word.

Me? I got the clippers out and trimmed the hedges and the tree vines that blocked my view of the white trash folks across the road.

While I am blogging I am waiting for my pizza rolls to come out of the toaster oven.

My yard looks good. Oh! I also swept the driveway clean of all it's funk and nastiness. Acorns suck.

Proceeded to ride around town with Amy on this fantastic Saturday to do some birthday shopping and just get out of the house. I could have sat here all day but sometimes ya gotta keep 'em happy..
Lunchtime, 3:00 and all is well.

Currently thugged out to: A7X-Almost Easy

one year

Today is my wife and my one year anniversary. She's great. That's 365 days of putting up with me. Yes, I am blogging on my anniversary. That's ok. She's cooking me breakfast right now. She's making heart-shaped pancakes. How awesome is that?!?

Things to remember from our first year of marriage:

• Just because one is right does not mean they should fight to prove so. Sometimes it's a very healthy decision to be right silently.
• ALWAYS think before you respond. Sometimes it's difficult but if you don't you'll end up saying a lot more than you thought was going to come out of your mouth.
• Keep your significant other happy and do little things for him or her. They are the most important thing in your life and it's better all around for one to remember that.

Happy and Silly Memories!

• Skateboard Tires! (Said Amy)
• Lazy Sunday Mornings (Like today)
• Staying up late watching movies
• Rob and Big
• House
• Yes, Dear, I checked the doors and they are locked :-)
• Schnoogs!
• Massages
• You bringing me McDonalds
• Late nite backrubs
• and thousands of other little things

Thanks Amy, you are amazing.

Happy Anniversary!!!
