"it's been a while"
I am typing this on the new office computer that sits on my desk where I used to prepare my lunches. I spent this past weekend in New Orleans. My friend and former room mate, Matt Montalvo, is getting married in Austin in two weeks so 12 of us piled into a big van and drove to New Orleans for his bachelor party. It was pretty awesome. I like that city a lot. Most of the night time fun is kind of a blur and was mostly relayed back to me by co-conspirators who had yet to reach my "level". We spent our nights in shit bars and strip clubs. You know those bars that have like, really dorky house cover bands? And they'll change the lyrics up every now and then to be funny or make something a little more adult than the original lyrics allowed? Yeah. EVERY fucking bar had one of those. And girls were lovvvving it!! You'd think they thought they were at a real show! Like every hit song ever was written by the same band and they just so happened to be playing at the bar for FREE that night! I REALLY hate bars like that. But they were there, we were there, they had alcohol, we wanted alcohol, and some of us wanted to hit on the stupid girls that were enjoying those bars (not me though, I'm a good boyfriend!) Then there were the strip clubs. I've never been a big fan of strip clubs, and I'm still not, but my opinion on them has changed a little bit. I think because our group was so large it didn't seem as creepy. Like, there were weirdos there, but it was harder to notice them through our crowd, you know? And the dancers were pretty entertaining. Like, they could do tricks and stuff. It wasn't just like, "hey, look at my naked body, throw money at me and i'll touch your face with my boobs or put my butt close enough to your face to let you smell things..." A stripper took a dollar off of my head with her butt! I was very amused by that. Also, you can shout in strip clubs. If you didn't read this, and you saw me there, you'd think I was really excited about the strippers... but I just enjoy shouting, hooting, and hollering. And some of them did some really athletic/acrobatic stuff, which was also acrobatic and entertaining. Again, I was a very good boyfriend on this trip. Not the whole trip was spent drinking though, I got to walk around all day on Saturday and check out some local shops, buildings, art galleries, etc. and I really liked it. My favorite was the Raymond Douillet collection I found. I want to go back and spend more time exploring and less time drinking.
OH YEAH! Saturday night was the first night of Mardi Gras and we got to go out on a balchony and throw beads! I was baling them up and throwing them over hand (for accuracy, not impact) and was getting faces and drinks and it was hilarious! i also got to see alot of street boobs. Which was also hilarious. One guy showed his dick but I turned around when I saw what he was doing.
I don't feel 100% back to normal yet. I smoked a lot of cigarettes, drank a lot of booze, didn't eat much and when I did it wasn't quality food, barely slept, it was freezing ass cold, I shouted A LOT, and now my lungs feel weird and my body still feels kind of tired. I should be in the gym right now but I kind of want to rest today... I feel bad though because I skipped thursday and friday and then did what I did this weekend and now I am skipping today too... tomorrow I will go for sure. Ugh, and I need to trade the dryer at my apt. out for the one I have in storage. I accidentally knocked a lighter into the lint trap that no human could reach inside of and I would prefer not to turn it on until I get a chance to fix it... maybe we will just be sans dryer for a week until saturday when I will have a chance to try to fix it. I should probably get going so I can get ready for Justin's b-day dinner. I feel like I always have somewhere to be. Like my next three weekends are already booked. It's not often enough that I can just sit in peace and collect my thoughts for a while. 15 more minutes. then I'll go. That's about when I would be leaving the gym anyways. Oh, I really hope I remember to bring my harddrive to work tomorrow. The one with all of my music. I want to hook it up to this computer and FINALLY change out the music on my ipod. I don't even bother bringing it to the gym anymore. I'd rather listen to awful gym music than get any more sick of music that I like. Ugh, I keep coughing and it sounds really bad, and doesn't feel much better... I'm going to leave now, actually, I need to run by the store. Food, dude.
