Calling All Hookahs!
I’ve been working my literal ass off the past two weeks. And I mean literal, yesterday I was leaving work and my ass fell off! While this might not seem like a lot of hours to some people, two weeks ago I worked about 52 hours. This past week I worked 58 hours. After working 10 out of 11 days for a total of 110 hours, today starts a time in which I will have off 14 of the next 22 days, including weekends. Needless to say, I’m excited, however I still will probably have to work a bit of overtime this week, but as of Friday at 6 in the P.M. I will be off work until Tuesday November 30th.
I had some beer left over from my Halloween party that I needed to get rid of. I’m not a big beer drinker and since the beer was not going to drink itself, I invited a few friends over last night to help me drink the beer and watch Get Him To The Greek. I should also mention that I bought a hookah pipe for our big Thanksgiving on the Saturday before the real Thanksgiving. So last night my friends and I had the brilliant idea of smoking from it before and during the movie. The only problem is that none of us had ever loaded or lit something like that before. While putting the tobacco in was relatively easy, keeping it lit was a different story. We were pretty sure that we could use charcoal to keep it lit, so I went out to the garage and got some match lite charcoal that I had. This resulted in the funny scene of us sitting around trying to get this damn thing lit. It was quite comical, but you probably just had to be there. Nevertheless, we were never able to consistently keep it lit. And I wound up with charcoal ashes all over a little mini table and my carpeting. For the second Sunday in three weeks, I wound up vacuuming up ashes from my carpeting.
So if anybody knows how to light a hookah pipe and keep it lit and what we can use to keep it lit, please by all means, help a brother out. We need to know this before Saturday.
