  • Friday night Mark, Amy and the kids came over for dinner. We had some good ass bbq ribs along with other things. One thing that really made me laugh was Mark was telling a story about how one of his friends is overly attentive and over protective of his own 2 kids. While Mark was telling us the story he got very animated and was moving around and swinging his arms. He swung his right arm back just as Addison was coming up from behind him and he accidently bumped his arm into her. Of course, I felt bad for her but could not stop laughing from the irony of him talking about his friend being an overprotective parent and then Addison walking into his arm. Classic.

    Yesterday was the annual Rene birthdays in July birthday party. See, we have about 3 or 4 of our group of friends with birthdays in July, so we have a party to celebrate all of them. The party was to start at 2 in the pm and normally I'm the first one there shortly after the start time. But, yesterday I went to get my haircut and the place was PACKED and it took a lot longer than normal. Of course, it doesn't help that I didn't even get up until almost 10:30 but hey, I like to sleep in. As for the party there were not nearly as many people there as normal, although we did still have a good time. We played beanbags and I was doing ok early on. Then we all started talking about Shotgun Eddy's and for some reason, next thing I know I got burning red hot. It was like I couldn't miss the damn hole. It was like the hole was the size of a basketball hoop and I was throwing a tennis ball. Dave and I skunked 3 games in a row each time winning in just 3 turns. Then we stopped for a little while and when we resumed, I came back down to earth. Still, we had a good time.

    One thing that kinda pissed me off was John. He left the party without saying goodbye to anybody. In fact, nobody even knew he left, all of a sudden he was just gone. And although he said he would play baseball today, last night when Scooty asked him if he wanted to see The Dark Knight, he was quick to agree to go to the 10am show (honestly, who the fuck goes to a movie at 10 in the morning anyway?), in spite of the fact that we were playing baseball at 12:30. I told him that the movie was 2 1/2 hours long and therefore he could still play afterwards but he said that he didn't think we would have enough people to play. Well, the joke was on him, we actually had 7 on 7 which is a good size game for us. Everybody thinks John is a nice guy, which for the most part he is, but he just does a lot of dickish things, which in turn makes him a dick. Leaving a party without saying goodbye is something has done several times over the years, but it makes you a dick. Not showing up to Clem's on certain weeks and not bothering to tell anybody that you aren't going is a dickish thing to do. Its not like he had a fight with anybody last night and he certainly didn't have a fight with me. So why he chooses to do those things is beyond me, but its rude and it makes him a dick.

    As for baseball, it was a pretty good time. I was concerned that we would only have 6 or 7 people, but more people showed up than we expected. And, there were 3 guys hitting the ball around so we got them to play too. Our team though got our asses kicked. I'm always one of the captains and I just have not picked good teams in the games we have played this year. As for me on one play I was running from second to third and there was some mud between the bases from our heavy rains last night. I slipped on it and fell right the fuck down and was tagged out. I was ok, the only thing that was hurt was my ego. And even that wasn't hurt as when it comes to sports, because I'm clumsy and not the least bit graceful, I have no sports ego.

    That's all for now, hope you all had a good weekend.
