So I just found out my rate (my job in the Navy) today . Seems I'm gonna go Redacted. I wanted Electronic tech (Radio) but... so is life. Needs of the Navy, and chance. I did pray about it though. I asked the Holy One (Blessed Be He) for whatever would be best for me since I know I'm not that great at choosing for myself. So I guess this is where I'm supposed to be.
It was another day in Groton, CN. The first day of spring and it rained... and the temperature dropped. Cold and rain and wind is not a good mix. Yet I enjoyed today. Why
The Last day of Purim. Hello!
This year, besides the huge quantities of beef I ate, I got to party like a... not so rock star. After Sabbath (I was blessed to close out Sabbath by watching the services of Beth Tehillah on line) I went with some guys to get some drinks. It was Purim. I was gonna get crunk... or close to it. They were like "Come on Shaw (remember, military everything is by last name) lets go to the Strip Club". Now... normally i would be aghast at the very idea.
Yet it was Purim.
So we go to the "club", and I'm not digging the scene. Personally I prefer my women well clothed and letting my mind imagine what's underneath (yes female friends... who I know IRL you too... unless ). So I decide to get a drink. Everyone? What's my starter drink? If you said coconut rum and sprite you are correct. I'm the cheap guy at the "club" (can't see myself spending money to look at mildly attractive women when i can download pics and movies of hot women for free). So I have these girls working hard for my one dollar bills. I moved onto a long island and downed that. Since I tipped the Tender well on the first drink she served me the long island in the tall glasses for the beers. I was soon very very happily wasted. I also became... High Five Guy.
Those of us who go clubbing know High Five Guy. He's THAT guy who is so drunk he feels compelled to give everyone high fives. Someone tipped the bartender? High Five! Someone sat in a chair? High Five! Stripper took off her top? High Five! Imagine the stripper leaning down to give High Five Guy, well... a High Five. She will if there's a dollar bill in that palm. Some of my friends spent a good 2-3 hundred dollars on the women and private dances. I spent... twenty. I really wasn't there to look at the women like i said. I was just helping out some single mothers and paying some tuitions. Seriously... totally beats begging on the street.
From there we had to get back to the base before curfew (we're only phase II Liberty). Gotta be back by midnight. Yet the Taxi had already left us and by the time the new one comes... Thankfully a van comes by to pick up me and my fellow sailors. Turns out he's a bouncer at the Club. Awesome! He drops us off but it was supposed to be across the street from the base. The guards make him turn around and he curses at them in retaliation. Not good. When we finally walk on base they make us line up and question us. Everyone else is trying to defend themselves and sell out the driver. I'm drunk I just stand at attention and wait (figures, it'd take me being drunk off my behind to finally gain military bearing). They let us go and we run back to base in time for curfew. Yay!
The next day, hangover free I proceeded to eat as much beef as I could. I had beef jerky. For dinner I ordered from this place called Aloha grill. You know what I had? Philosopher, if you're reading, guess (The following paragraph will be filled with quotes). A Big Kahuna Burger. For those of you not in the know, I have dietary restrictions, many of which like a vegetarian. Which, here at sub base basically makes ME a vegetarian. Yes. It WAS a tasty burger. I then had some of a beverage to wash that down. My nose flared as I drank it down to the dregs.
The meat fest continued as I had a second burger the next morning for breakfast. At brunch I had Beef and Broccoli with Chicken fried rice. For Lunch I had a roast Beef sandwich from Subway. Secondses I had a meatball sandwich (also from Subway). Now the sun is setting. I'm gonna try to get back to class cus I left more food there. Need to hurry before sunsets and my ability to eat beef ends. Praise HaShem Purim is a two day Holiday.
Well... that was my fun Purim this year. Next year... gotta take it to the next level. HaShem willing He'll make it beyond awesome. As always, I'm the rarely ever inebreated k5h4w. You... as always Kreemed.
