I'm a super slacker when it comes to updating this. I really should update more often because things have been happening both good and bad. It's been such a long time that I don't know where to start so I guess I'll just let you all know what I can remember from recent events starting back around spring break.
The break was pretty slow and not many people were around which I kind of expected, but it was still good. There were people over the house a couple times to play drinking games and hang out. Jeremy and I got sddicted to Black Jack and went to the casinos 3 or 4 times just because there was nothing else to do. That worked out pretty well, didn't really gain or lose much that week. Since then though, things haven't been so good except for one night last week where I brought $260 home. I've lost more then I've gained lately though and am trying to kick that addiction. I haven't been to any casino since Monday night. I lost a lot that night though and promised myself I wouldn't go back for a while. Things may change tonight though unless I can find something else to do. The Silver Reef is opening it's new expansion and will be having things going on up there tonight. I really would like to find something else to do, but if I haven't by the time Jeremy and Gina get home from work we may end up going there for a little while. The end of the break came and that was fun because more and more people started coming back to B'ham. I hung out with some friends a couple times during the weekend before classes start and had good times, but since classes started it's been hard to find time when they are free because everybody has really busy spring quarters.
Last week was kinda slow, except for the usual trip to the bars on Thursday night, because everybody has been sooo busy lately. The weather has been really nice though so I've been out and about a lot more lately. Jogging and just hanging out in the sun. Thursday night was lots of fun...the Up was really busy and most of the usual crew showed up. We all played moose there like we normally do and got really smashed. I don't really remember much of the rest of that night after the moose game. I didn't really do much the rest of the weekend except watch Uconn advance to the national championship game they played Monday night! Oh, and I also learned that I will be taking a trip to Colorado in mid-June to attend a cousin's wedding and visit with all the relatives probably for about a week! That will be lots of fun!
This week started out really good with UConn men and women's basketball teams winning the national title on consecutive nights! The first time the same school help the division 1 titles in mens and womens basketball ever! I kinda wish I was there partying with the east coast crew...it was pretty wild up on campus from what I hear! Unfortately that was pretty much the only good thing that's happened so far this week. I went to the casino Monday night and lost too much money to want to say right now, not more then I can afford to lose, but definitely too much. Tuesday was fine, didn't really do much. Wednesday sucked! I got really bad news from two different people on the east coast. First, and probably the worst, my best friend, Dave, called from Boston at a time when he is supposed to be at work. I knew something was wrong because he never calls from work and he hardly ever calls here anyway. We normally just talk on-line a lot for now. He was in bad shape. His wife was in a terrible car accident on her way to work and is in ICU with serious head injuries. I talked to him again today and he still isn't doing any better, which is completely understandable, but there was some good news. Judy had surgery to releive some of the pressure on her brain and that went well. The doctors told him there was some improvement in her condition overnight and they think that while she'll stay in ICU for probably another week that she will make a good recovery, but that the next couple days are really important! I'm probably gonna go out and spend a week with Dave late this month after things settle a bit and the dotors know more about what will happen. I don't know what else I can do other then spend some time with him and make sure he's gonna be alright, but I don't think it would make sense for me to go right now, because he' spending all his free time in the hospital with Judy.
The second thing of bad news I got on Wednesday isn't as bad but is really fucked up in other ways. My ex-gf Cary, who last month decided to break up with me because she said she couldn't deal with a long distance relationship anymore, and had been seeing another guy for about a month before she told me this had something happen to her that really shouldn't ever happen to anybody. Just when I was finally thinking I was over all that her Mom called me. I knew this also was strange because if anybody ever calls here from that house it's Cary. Anyway, her Mom starts by apoligizing for what happened. We talked for a while and I finally said I know this isn't why you called...what's going on here? Cary went to the mall Tuesday night and on her way back to her car she was forced into another car, beaten, raped, robbed and dumped on the side of a dark road. Luckily somebody found her laying there unconciouss a little while later and called 911. She was rushed to the hospital. She is still there resting up and recovering from her injuries. That's fucked up, but it gets worse. Apparently she is suffering from amnesia and the doctors aren't sure when or if she will get all of her memories back. The worst part about that is that she no longer knows who her current boyfriend is and refuses to even see the guy...she constantly calls the nurses to see if I'm there and her mom says she calls for me all the time and asks the doctors and her mom where I am and why I'm not there. I seriously have no idea what to do about this. I guess her parents offered to buy me a plane ticket to go there and back to see if that will help Cary remember anything if I agree to it. But who's to say she won't start remembering things before I get there if I go and then I'll be wasting her parents money and even worse if I go and she still doesn't remember that we aren't together anymore and she really wants me to be there with her for a while. I don't wanna be the person to tell her we aren't together anymore because she fucked things up. I really have no idea what to do.
Last night was fun. I went to the Up like the group usually does, but nobody was there. I found Shawn and sat with him and his friend for a while before they finished a pitcher and had to go meet people at the Royal. Then I found Amber and sat with her and her friend for a while. Finished my pitcher and got another. They left when they were done with their pitcher and I saw Kelly Wallace for a quick minute. I wandered around the bar to see if I could find anybody ese I knew and I didn't, so I decided to walk around and meet people. Girls really. So, I'm standing there talkin to this girl for about 10 minutes and all of a sudden this big guy comes up from behind and bumps into me so hard I dropped the 1/2 full pitcher I still had. I turned around to see what the hell this was all about and the guy screams "what the hell are you doing talking to my girl?" I argued with the guy for a while telling him I had no idea she was with anybody and we were only talking and told him that he needed to buy me a new pitcher of beer! The girl helped out and he finally agreed to buy me a pitcher, but she had to go with him to the bar, so we couldn't talk anymore I guess. I'm standing around looking to see if anybody I knew had come in and about 30 seconds later I get sucker punched reall hard in the back of my right shoulder. I fell down to the floor and got really pissed off. Turned around to look back at the guy and jump on him (I probably would have gotten my ass kicked) but by the time I turned around there was already 5-6 guys on him. Another couple guys helped me get up and made sure I was alright. Then we watched the bouncers drag the guy out of the bar. I got thrown out too and wasn't able to get anything else to drink, they just made me stand around until they were sure the other guy was gone. I was pretty pissed about it last night, but it's all good now. I have lots of other things to think about to bother worrying about that silly shit. I guess that's it for this update. Later everybody, hopefully I'll find some time to hang out with all of you soon. Oh, and if any of you read this and have some advice I sure could use it. I have absolutely no idea what to do about the whole situation with Cary
