i havent written in a long time, but i will try to make a kind of summary of the last week (cuz beyond that id screw up)
so lets see.....
TUESDAY-
NYC Central Park- with Dave, Gabe, Jesse, Mike, Rafi, Ivan, Clarissa and myself- went to a concert to see the Roots, De La Soul and saw Mos Def who just showed up. 5 hours of awsome hiphop in the scorching sun.
WEDNESDAY-
11am set off for Montreal- with Jesse, Ivan, and Andrew.
have a fun lunch stop up at Lake George, where Jesse and Ivan promplty realize they forgot their passports. we then call jesse's dad who knows all about the law (lawyer)and he tells us we should be ok to get in, and that he'll fedex the passports to my apartment. so we get back on the road, then we call ivans dad and hes not cool with it and says we have to sleep at their new upstate house. i was pissed because i had to take off work for the trip and was planning to leave friday to see phil...and now i would have 12hrs in montreal...
anyway we got to ivans after hours and hours of driving and we arive to the biggest mansion i have ever seen with my own two eyes, complete with a spa basement of waterfalls, 20 people hot tub, sauna, steam room, showers and bathrooms.....the guest house connects to the mainhouse by a glass corridor to a gigantic mainhouse...and when this will be fully completed in about 1.5yrs it will have a road going down to the lake with a built beach, jetskis, boats, and a golf cart to go back to the house. and perhaps the island in the middle of the lake will be owned by the goodmans if the owners agree to sell.
so yes....we go buy food, ivan makes us hibachi meat, i mix Greygoose vodka for ivan and i, and we hook up the ipod and have a very pleasant evening, followed by a movie at night, and an amazing night's rest in the most amazing bed ive ever slept in.
THURSDAY-
the next day we hiked through the woods and went down to the lake, where jesse and i decided to swim 1/2 mile to the island while ivan and andrew took the canoe.
the swim was wonderful and refreshing and the boatride back was fun (-the spiders).
after cleaning up the place, we headed out because one of the construction guys had brought up the passports and we drove up to montreal.....andrew drove for a bit adn that was nausiating. then i drove from the border to the heart of downtown montreal. we went in to my apartment and it was the biggest pigstye imaginable. courteousy of Sabah who didnt realize i was coming back. i didnt realize i was supopsed to tell other people i was returning to my own apartment. well i should ahve aparently cuz this made me have to spend half my evening throwing out and lceaning shit. i was fucking furious. then after eating at ALto's and having POUTINE!!!!....i find out that 3 of andrews friends expected to stay at my place but andrew was just gonna have them stay there after i left so i wouldnt know about it. but he fucked up cuz i asked his friends where they were staying that night and the kid was like "um i thought your place" when i had barely met them....
anyway i got over after a while....sort of....well....i still didnt want to stick around with 6 guys in my 2 bed apartment. i couldnt change with privacy in my own room. plus lack of air conditioning ....holy shit.
ok so after cleaning up, jesse and i headed out to various places in montreal and saw the jazz festival. we were both pretty tired though so we went back and they all returned too and smoked and drank.
FRIDAY-
the next day i woke up at 10:30am and tried to do all my erands: mcgill sweatshirt, pay phonebill, pay mcgill bill, get a haircut, buy sheets......but guess what friday was...CANADA DAY. hahaha....awsome so everything is closed and that means i cant do any errands. so instead i took jesse to Boustans for a shawarma and then drove around old montreal briefly but not long cuz of all the circus and street celebrations going on everywhere, so then we drove around the pretty streets of montreal (for the record- montreal beats NYC on any summer day by miles)
at 4pm he dropped me off at the bus station where i sat and waited for my bus. when i got in Albany, Gabe and Dave were there waiting for me :) and we had a fun drive back to the ridge rambling about shit.
when i got back finally at 1am i went over to Phil's and picked his sleepy ass up...and took him out and went to Belmar. the drive was tirering and i wasx scared he would fall asleep like me but he didnt and we got to belmar after driving through a crazy storm at like 10mph. anyway in belmar we find a shady street and park to go to sleep for a couple hours but phil is not in the mood to sit quietly. he wants to talk and make sounds.
SATURDAY-
so we drive to the beach after i ask him to park in the woods since were aparently gonna get arrested for sleeping in a car on the side of a street(according to phil). and he goes on the beach and comes back laughing cuz hed seen 3 couples going at it, doggy style and all. so i get up and go to the beach with him and we see the sunrise together and it's fun, and im taking pictures and we talk to a fisherman and then we get back in the car to get breafast and look for a bathroom for me, and on our way he drives around and shows me in old apartment and where he used to play as a kid and the pond hed go to, and the parties hes crash. it was cool. i like seeing other parts of people's childhoods that you never knew.
after getting a mexicano breakfast and a coffee we went to the beach and ate with blankets and enjoyed the sun warming up. we slept/cuddled on the beach for a few hours and it got more and more crowded and warmer and warmer so then we went to the water and went swimming inthe crazy waves. we had to dive under them cuz they were so huge but phil and i had a wonderful time together in the ocean feeling like kids and hopping around. after going back to our blankets we decided to go for a walk and on my walk i told him dtails about mexico id never gotten into, and he asked questions. it was good to finally tell him about my experience.
walking around, we talked about physiques and bathing suits too...that was amusing. i realized i dont like built male bodies, and i think it's repulsive actually. i mean, a man that has more boobs than me turns me off. i tried to point out guys that i thought were hot but i found none. only overlybuilt macho freaks.
upon returning to our towels we passed out again and i woke up feeling a little burnt so i told phil we should consider heading back since it was 1pm already. so we did cuz he was burnt too...and we drove back.....stopped by DePieros on the way back cuz id never been and it was soo coool....found a nice sunburn on my back too. when i got back i showered, nappend and went to work at 6pm and spent the evening applying aloe. i got out after work and forgot what i did...oh wiat i went to bed early and got a phonecall from JEss and talked for a while- which was fun and then i passed out.
SUNDAY-
i woke up at 3pm having slept crazy amounts of hours and went to nayck with phil and sat on the dock after he got an ice thing and we chatted in the sun, and then iwent to work at 6pm...when i got home at 12am i went to a party at Talias which was broken up by neighbors so we went to have it at volpes. i ended up puking for 3 hrs that night from alcohol poisening.
MONDAY-
the next day i drove to gabes and we went out to A&Ps to get sushi and went to eat on the dock in nyack, and then i watched tv for most of the day till called and we all went to nayck for the fireworks. then phil said some assholish shit to me at dinner and i didnt want to see his face the rest of that evening.
i wrote him a journal entry that night and called him to infrom him and he apolozized so im not mad anymore because i know he understands. i just hope he doesnt do something like that again.
TUESDAY-
woke up with a 100.3 F fever. in bed at JEsse's for the whole fucking day feeling like shit. jesse and gabe got me a thermometer at CVS and brought me food and gave me medicine.
shitty ass day.
WEDNESDAY-
jesse's mom's bday.
jesse returned from the city at 1pm. i called jess and caught up for 30mins. enjoyed that. felt better. fever had gone down.
shwoered. went to the mall, stole a beautiful blue lamp, gto some converse like shoes and got some metal rings to fix some jewellery. jesse stole a bracelet. oh and i noticed this beaitful candle holder i suggested getting for delia and jesse agreed shed like it and purchasesd it.
then we went out to a french restaurant for Delia's birthday which was so nice :) :) :) :) in jesse's old childhood town across the river.
then we came back and went to gabes to hang out for a bit and im back typing away.
