Buffalo Wings

Dec 23, 2003 23:37

Damn, finally I am able to speak my mind and go into detail about my trip and shit. I been busy these past few days, which I'll bullshit a lil bit about, but first, lets speak on my vacation! >:O

So, Friday morning we all went to FTL International Airport to take a flight to Buffalo through the good old ATL, HO. We got in and met up wit everybody and stayed in some fancy ass hotel or something. Oh and it was pretty damn cold, and there was snow on the ground! Haha cool, snow. Anyways, after everybody settled in, we went to check out Wal-Mart and Tops (it's just like a Winn-Dixie) for some shit. The time is around 6pm, and it's up north remember, so it was already dark out. And while we were there, it's started snowing!!! This shit was just flurries, but half the guys in our crew never seen snow before. We were actin like fools dancin around in the parking lot while the natives are shopping and staring at us. It was straight. After this, we went to dinner at some Italian restaurant that my dad and my uncles used to go to over 20 years ago (my uncles lived up in Buffalo for a couple years in the early 80's) and fuck yeah the food was straight up. After dinner it was still snowing so we started fuckin around on somebody's lawn next to the restaurant, playin with the snow and slippin on the ice in their driveway. Haha it was funny as fuck. Oh, um I forgot to mention when we left the hotel to go to dinner, we ran into the Detroit Red Wings, cuz I guess they was playin the Sabres or somethin. Big Russian guys, yeah, whatever. Heh, so then I went to bed.

I woke up Saturday to find out that it snowed all night and so now there was a couple of inches on the ground. Now there's actually some snow to make snowballs and stuff. Anyways we walked in the snow to breakfast at some up Northern lookin place, and lemme tell ya, walkin in the windy cold snow is kinda cool... for about 15 seconds... then it just plain sucks getting frozen. Anyways, after that we took a day trip to NIAGRA FALLS. Niagra Falls on the Canadian side, to be exact, cuz the Canada side is cooler. We crossed the border and met up with the Canadian cousins and whatever, and then we walked around for a while to scope out the scene. We looked at all the crazy tourist shops with all the canadian shit, and I laughed at the weird brands of chips. Ketchup flavored Lays potato chips, wtf?!? We also walked down the edge of the falls, it was truly a sweet work of nature. During this time, the temperature read 22 degrees. Really cold, but really nice...

For lunch we went to Boston Pizza. In Canada, the legal age for drinking is only 19, so therefore, I was able to buy my first legal drink! Yay! We got that real Canadian beer too, the kind that gets you a buzz but doesnt fuck ya up too much. We ate, played pool, arcade games, and then left. Now for the next few hours, it was designated chill out time, back over at the Canadian hotel that the cousins was stayin at. And this was one of those real rich hotels, the ones that host weddings and shit. During our chill time we noticed a high school prom or dance or some shit, I forget exactly. So a lot of 17-18 year old females was runnin around, and so some of the guys in our crew felt like starin at all the young pussy in the lobby, and so I joined in. Remember now, half the people I'm with are in their mid to late 20's, and then my family is a little bit older. Anyway, we did this for I think a little too long, cuz some idiot guy told us we make the idiot people staying there "uncomfortable" or some bullshit. Haha maybe cuz we were all Cubans (except for me and another guy) and we all had our heavy jackets on so we looked like evil terrorists or somethin. Who gives a fuck, cuz it was now time to go out to dinner. The group split up, as my family and whatever wanted to go to some Chinese Restaurant, but the Cubans and whatever didnt want that. Neither did I, so we went to good old Wendy's. After the meal, we checked out the Falls all lit up now, cuz they flash giant colorful lights on it. It was prettyful. Then the whole group met up again and we all went to the giantic casino that was there. And this aint like some Indian Tribe junk... we're talkin the type of casino you see in Las Vegas. Again since the legal age is only 19, and 20>19, I got in. Unfortunately, my rich canadian cousins, aka the ones with the money (who gamble so much you'd think they did it for a living), were having a bad night. They dropped a quick grand and we were outta there. Ah well, it was still kick ass, with the atmosphere and all. But it wasnt a lucky night. Sooo, we called it a night, crossed back over the border, and since we had to get up early for THE BIG GAME, I went to bed.

Sunday mornin, time for THE BIG GAME. As we were waitin for even for people to join our big crew (with everybody, we were about 20 people deep), we saw the two old dudes that were announcing the game, Dan Dierdorf and that other dude. Finally we got on the road and towards the stadium, and we parked in somebody's yard close by. Our tailgate party kinda got screwed up, since the guy with the food got the beef comfiscated at the US border, due to the fuckin mad cow disease bullshit. But we had some salami... we had chips, peanuts, and bbq'd salami on buns! It was fuckin cold during this tailgating, it wasnt good at all. But onward to the game!

So, we're inside the stadium, and lemme tell you, this place is so ghetto. First off, the seats we sit in are not seats, but really cold hard benches. Also, in the bathroom, you wont believe it but they have like a couple urinals, and then a fuckin giant trough that (when I went in there) a whole bunch of guys were pissin in. Needless to say I didnt fuckin bother with that. No way. And also, the Buffalo Bills fans are FUCKING CRAZY. Hahaha just wow, lemme tell ya, they seriously dislike the Dolphins fans. I was called a "fucking faggot" among countless other things, and when I was walking back to my seats from buying a stale pretzel, my fins hat fell off. It took me a few seconds to realize it, thru my layers of clothing, and by the time I turned around, some kid around my age just picked it up. I tried to get it back from him, and after much pleading, he threw it in the trash! Haha I was pissed but I was not with my crew, I was a lone Dolphin among insane Bills fans, so I took it like a man, cursed him, got my hat, and left. Oh and when we were taking pictures at the game (we took pics throughout our trip, and the ones I saw came out great) all the Buffalo fans would jump in front and shoot the camera the bird. By the way, our whole group were not all Dolphin fans, we had a few idiots cheerin for Buffalo (the idiot gamblin cousins were actually stupid enough to bet on them), we had Eagles fans from philly, a Giants fan, and then there was my crazy drunken cousin who had a giant Toronto Maple Leafs flag. He was wavin it screaming "Lets Go Leafs!" the whole time, it was funny as shit. Oh and he wore a bathrobe to the game, like he always does. Hahahaha it's such a fuckin trip. He says that nobody should have to get out of their robe on a Sunday afternoon to watch NFL Football.

Anyways, the entire game (including the crazy atmosphere) was all great, because after it was all said and done, the Miami Dolphins KILLED the Bills 20-3! That gave the Buffalo fans something to cry about. After the game, we hung out for another couple of hours in this person's yard, and we just threw snow around, drank more beer, and waited for the traffic to die out. We were killin it during the snowball fight... everybody got good shots in on everybody. Then we went back to the hotel and then out to dinner at some place I dont remember, but I had baked ziti. Then we chilled at the hotel and watched the asshole Broncos win, which kinda bummed people out. And now, time for bed cuz we gotta wake up early to go to the airport.

Oh and here are some random overall comments about the trip: If you're wondering how the city of Buffalo got it's name, I have the answer. It's because all the women look like fuckin buffaloes!!! Haha, the quality of the females certainly cannot compare to South Florida. It was just kinda crappy, but this didnt put a damper on nothin, and at least in Niagra Falls the ladies looked a lil bit better. Oh, also, since most of us were wearing Miami Dolphins jackets the whole time (myself included), we got to hear lots of fun comments by the strangers around. Most were from fellow dolphins fans, yellin YEAH and shit when we were in niagra, and some were from the buffalo locals tellin us we're gunna lose or somethin, heh..... Since it was Chanukah (and about half of us are Jewish) we got to light the menorah, yay! One of the funny Cuban dudes started singing happy birthday as we lit the candles the first night, haha I was laughin my ass off. And yeah it was cool, somebody actually remembered to bring a menorah so we could do the damn thing. Oh and the rental van we had, it was sweet shit. Big and roomy, with a good heater inside. Shout out to that van, YEAAAHH.

Anyways, it's Monday morn, and now it's time to go back to sunny Florida. We had hotel breakfast, and parted ways with all the people who didnt come from Florida. Then it was back on da plane, down to ATL HO and then back home in good old Fot Likadale. It's good to be home in the warm weather and not have to wear the damn layers of clothes, but it was one helluva vacation. Two thumbs up!!!

editing note: This post will be dated for Tuesday night, as I had it in my mind then, but I never got around to writing it. Holla.
