Guitar and Video Games
So I got the chance to attend a ska concert down in Toledo with four (!) other girls on Tuesday, which I didn't really make the most of but that's bag o' worms. An interesting fact was that 4 of us were from the Downriver area (!!) representing Allen Park, Southgate, and Trenton. The other girl was an exchange student from France; you should have heard her pronounce Detroit, she made it sound like a beautiful city.
The topic of parents comes up and how they don't like their kids heading out late at night or living in Ypsilani. When I thought about it, I questioned Nicole where there is to go at two in the morning Downriver besides Meijers to which she replied Dennys.
Aw shit, how could I forget Dennys? Home to overpriced, cold, always late, drunken meals at 2am. Wait, I know how I could forget Dennys: I have no friends anymore. Maybe that's not totally true - there was only one friend that would really go to there with me - but it still reflects how I feel.
Dennys, same with Meijers, are places that you tend to go with your friends late at night. They are rarely places that you frequent when you're by yourself. Except if you're me.
I'm not sure why, but unlike some people I have little or absolutely no hangups about going places by myself. I've been to a sizable percentage of concerts by myself. I've gone on 14 mile bicycle rides at 3am alone. I've driven around SW Detroit for shits and giggles by myself. I've gone to White Castles or that coney island in Lincoln Park at Dix and Cicotte as well. Grocery shopping too.
Point is, I feel like I'm running out of summers to have fun and when you're in Michigan, late nights spent at Dennys or Meijers usually play a large part in that. I'm in my 23rd summer right now and it's not stacking up to the 21st or 22nd thus far. It sure is a hell of a lot better than the first 20. Freal. I guess there's always two more months to make some half-assed attempt to make this one better, aye?
