NCAA men's basketball tourney rounds 1 & 2
Greetings from Miami, Florida!
Well, not really, this is another written another day entry (late 3/21 to be exact) from my hotel room's bed. To anyone who follows the men's NCAA basketball: Yahoo Cleveland State! To anyone who does not follow, I'll simplify my standpoint: a 13th ranked team (CSU) beat the pants off of a 4th ranked team (Wake Forest) 69-84.
Regardless of what happens tomarrow, I got a nice 5-day vacation (wed.-Sun.) in sunny Florida. And by sunny I mean it rained damn near every day. I think it missed Friday, and some days were just light sprinkles for a hour or so, but it oddly conforts me to think that it has rained on every vacation day I've had for the last three years!
Of course "vacation" isn't exactly the correct term, as this is more like a business trip due to the fact that I'm getting paid $40/day by the college. Last year was $50/day, but I wasn't able to make that time, so I don't care. Yup, not only does the school flip the bill for flight, hotel and a bus driver, but I'm getting a nice perdiem too. All I have to do in return is play my heart out, yell my lungs out, both of which I do happily anyway, and generally be a good representative of Cleveland State. That last one takes a little effort on my part, but I think I can manage.
Well, it's slightly past midnight, and I've got a long day ahead of me. We go straight from hotel to American Airlines Arena for the game straight to the airport to home. A good adventure by the sounds of it. I'd ask you to wish us luck, but by the time I get a chance to post this, I'll be at least home and the game will long since be decided. I hope we win, if not just for the pride of being on the winning side then for the fact that I'd get to travel again next weekend.
Ah, Green Bay and of snow last week, Miami and lots of sun & bikini babes this week. And to think I couldn't do any of this if I still had a job and let's face it, not likely to get so many days off.
- Written today:
Well, that was almost, ALMOST a drama free trip. I'll save you all the details for now, so long story short: girl and guy are going out, guy can't make the trip. Another guy decides to get girl drunk and bang her. Girls wasn't drunk enough to not know what she was doing.
- Warning: Rant mode is ON- *names have not been changede to protect the guilty* God fucking dammit, can't she keep her legs closed for one freaking week? Brandi knew full well that flirting with James was a bad thing with Peter waiting for her back home. Plus she already knows that when drunk, she gets clingy to the point of "friendly rubbing and petting" (her words and put very mildly). Worst off is that she seriously considered not telling her boyfriend! Yeah, just hope that hickey on your neck goes unnoticed for a few days. And Peter had damn well better not try to squeeze any sympathy out of anyone because this is the exact same thing he did when she was (admitedly almost) with me. He knew she spent the night at my place, so the very next day he takes her to a party in the dorms, pours booze down her throat and shoves his cock up her cooch. They went out before, and even he admits that while he did not want to restart a relationship, the idea of her with someone else was unnerving. Stupid humans, all of them! - Rant mode OFF-
Jusst a few stoopid hoomans almost ruined an otherwise awesome road trip. I say almost because my time in Florida was simply superb.
I still wish I could have picked up a certain KY resident along the way *wink*
