churp...churp...the birds go at 5am. Funny how a day can just stretch into two if you don't pay attention.
Talk about being somewhere like home(tampa), where at the turn of the corner there is always new conversation to endure (even if it is about the toliet paper of choice ), and then arriving to my place in o-town to the uncanny silence that is this place on a forth of july weekend. Oh well...gave me time to just hit the books and study up for another exam on monday morning. Thrills...Thrills...
I thought maybe cooking up a nice meal would give the place a nice feel and maybe get my mind off inverse functions and graphing cubic root functions. Though I've come to the conclusion that whenever I cook for myself the food tends to take on this absolute insipid taste and i feel like a cow munching on dry hay.
So all day today I've tried not to think about the last two days in TPA; but man, they where just massive chill. Starting with evonnes call on thursday evening as I was slowly compelling my mind back to some state of awareness, I hear her voice..."ya want to....something something...the castle...something something..." All I know is that i heard castle and no one has to work on firday. So i get in my "spirit"(the car) and head home; witch was not planned at all but the thought of sitting at home looking at the computer screen juxtaposed(most over used word..emmm)to me kicking it 80's new wave style had me driving down I-4 with no regrets. There's nothing like just giving the o-town life a big peace and coming to tpa. So I arrive, everyone seems to have dropped out of the dance ...I call some people to see if they are wanting to shake it down but with no success. So Evonne and I say "f everyone and lets go have fun." So i went to her house did a little pre-party...I did it up classy , none of this in the car stuff. Which I thought I was going to do, but with the 4th of july, the many check points, and my hate for drinking fast and ignorantly outside of clubs, I just got smart and not stupid and had a few(plus a few more) before we headed out(evonne drove of course). We arrived to see the line around the building and sadly no one we knew. But I was feeling good and the music was blaring from the inside so the anxiety to get in was starting to mount! ("THE CLASH IS PLAYING...OH NO, WE"RE STILL OUTSIDE! LETS DANCE IN LINE EVONNE? OK!! SHE"S SO GAME! I LOVE HER!") However, before evonne and I make it in, we get filmed for some video about the castle...i think the girl was one of those direct music slaves that pass things out..i know..i was one of them for a summer and got dicked out of warped tour tickets(hopefully its just that and not a girl making a video tape for a guy that she met on the beach and then is filming an entire day in her life and planning on sending it to him... true story..it's happened...shit im going to end up in North Dakota somewhere on tape!)..but nah...i think she was cool. So evonne pays because i paid for parking (we are just cool like that). I walk in to see the most beautiful person ...sara e. Hadn't seen her in a while, so after many drunk'n kisses and a sip of her drink, it was up stairs to dance(not before fighting off all the swarming ladies...hahaha yeah right) So everyone that I tend to see in a blue moon shows up to this enormously crowded night at the castle. So it was just friday's im in love...some around the world... seven nation army...and much more...
It was a nice time had by all in attendance and plus I think I laid myself out on the line for some good dancing...I feel ya justin timberlake...i rocked ya...hahahah....i can't believe the things I'll dance to in such sober moments(yes I mean sober). I should be burned at the stake and then pissed on.
The next day was good family time...well cindy was mostly hanging with the friends...so I took advantage and spoke at length with the folks...went to clearwater for some firewoeks...then hit a super hero theme party with the one and only "hoodness" and came home relatively early.. I was the designated driver...plus I was driving the sisters new VW and don't want anything happening to her baby (Ive noticed people look at me so different when im in that car...I'll speak on that at length in a later post).
So to all...Happy Everything...because how many people genuinely tell one another "Happy Forth of July?" It's trivial because it doesn't really happen... if people do...then im going to start wishing people Happy: Labor,Memorial,National Kazoo,Hat,End of the Middle Ages,Horseless Carriage,Atomic Bomb,Virus Appreciation,Take It In The Ear,National Maple Syrup, DAY!!!
