So things are pretty alright. It's my birthday on Saturday. I want a pool or a pony or a million dollars. I have felt great lately (I think). Things are just coasting by so smoothly; just anticipating the ball dropping. ONE BIG HICCUP.
We went to Vegas earlier this week for the third time this year. I won 68 dollars and that was pretty sweet. I spent a lot of time with Brent's Uncle Mike (or Uncle Phil, depending) teaching him how to play video poker machines. I think he just wanted to get to know me better...there isn't much to understand on video poker/slots/blackjack. He gave me a $10 chip to bet on craps. I got scared and gave him his money bet. Told him I didn't want to blow it. So then he gave me a $10 bill. OK. Uncle Mike left early on tuesday morning and we played most of the day until my Dad came and picked us up to take us to dinner and then the airport. We went to Hash House a Go Go and it RULED. I got chicken and waffles and it was perfect and HUGEEEEEEE. Please check it out whenever you're in Vegas/San Diego. You will not be disappointed.
Brent's parents sent him a letter in the mail with a bunch of photos from their trip to New Zealand. The pictures are so so so gorgeous, but one really stood out. It's of his mom and dad in front of some waterfall and his dad is wearing this really silly outback looking hat and it's all crooked on his head and he has this big goofy grin. His mom is craning her neck up at the camera with a similar hilarious look on her face with this big mess of braided ponytail. They look so fucking happy. It doesn't help that Brent and his dad look so alike, but it just makes me want to have that same picture of Brent and myself in 30 years or whatever. It's beautiful, they're wonderful. yeah yeah.
Also included in the bundle of pictures were a couple different "Hennessey" taverns in New Zealand. That's precious that they'd send those for me. Oh, and there is this really weird one of me and Brent. I look like a total square.
OKAY THIS IS ENOUGH. BRENT DREW ME THIS PICTURE:
