Today was fricking amazing
I have been in quite a funk the last two weeks, and its hard to say why, well, hard to say in this public forum. Anyway, today all that changed. After work today (which blew) I went home but had called Alex and Mark to go for a bike ride, so we eventually got together and did. After some random biking around, we were in South Brookline (All my homies in SoBro gimme a shout!) and near Sam Hodgkin's house, so we went there, and just knocked on his door, and had him come out with us. The four of us biked to Lars Anderson park, where we hung out on the play structure for a while, we then walked to the top of the Lars hill, where we found an entire Jewish-wedding set up (at this point it's about 10 pm), with like 50 chairs and one of those drape-sukkah esque structures made out of pvc pipe. Under that alter, there was a half drank (tiny, one cup size) bottle of very nice wine and some flowers. We made the wine all drank. Then we left a totally crazy outgoing message on my cell phone, a great improvement over my formerly very lame one. Then we biked towards Sam Urmy, who wanted to come with us to Deep Throat, and since it was his last night in B-town, we were definitely going to hang out. On the way there, there's an entry to the Sargeant Estates which would take us right to him, but there was this eight foot gate blocking us. Instead of going around it, we climbed it and passed the bikes over, only cutting out about 3 minutes of biking, but being totally bad ass.
We got to Smurmy's house and decided to bike to the reservoir. We got to the reservoir and Mark suggested we take a dip. People weren't receptive at first, but I was all: Fuck it, and got naked and jumped in, and everyone eventually followed suit. It was actually quite warm in the water, but we realized we had no towels, so to dry off we decided to bike around the reservoir naked. It was a pretty bitchin plan, and there were totally two people hanging out on a bench that hadn't been there before, which was pretty hilarious. So we get all dry (and clothed) and bike to Coolidge Corner, where we go to the Coolidge Corner Store 24, one I've been frequenting late nights since Sophomore year of high school at least once every two weeks, with the crazy bearded guy, and its fucking closing forever tomorrow! So it was definitely the last time any of us were going to go in it. I dunno, maybe it sounds silly to everyone else, but it felt pretty sentimental and sad. A chapter was definitely closing. We went from there to the Coolidge Corner theater, where we watched Deep Throat on the big screen. It was definitely anti-climactic, and maybe the least sexually arousing movie I've ever seen, but it was fairly entertaining. Then we hung out for a couple more hours, which brings me here.
I dunno if that sounds really awesome to everyone else, but I had an estatically amazing evening and my mood has changed 180° since about 12 hours ago.
