Tick Tock

How I felt last time my buddy took me kayaking in a seemingly quaint... "lake":



But! He had me thinking I want to invest in my own little inflatable fun, so I've been reading up on the best inflatable kayak I can get for around $300... or maybe under.  God, that's a lot of $$ for something that could deflate and be unusuable... but I've been reading the reviews, these seem to be a good deal!  Happy Friday, everyone!

So Glad He Had My Back!!!

Did I talk about how some crazy ass nut when off on me at my favourite bar last weekend?  This was after we grabbed some dinner at Pat's and we decided to meet a couple girls for drinks at Hooligan's.  The irony in the name...

Anyways, we were all waiting on our drinks.  Mind you, I had already placed my order and bartender was grabbing our drinks!  This dude, who seemed like he had downed a few already, started cussing at me.  At first, I ignored him because, hell, he's drunk.  But the next freaking thing I know, I see his arm swinging my way, from my peripheral.

I am so lucky my friend grabbed me from the back and pulled me back enough to miss the swing from that jerk.

I'm thinking of looking up some thank you card template and taking him out for drinks.  Sure, it's a bit of a bromance but when your bro's got your back, it gives you the fuzziez, haha.

Pretty much us:

In all seriousness, I have lost a few friends in the last few years who I was really close with.  I find people are not respectful and won't even meet halfway to apologize for their crappy behavior so really, appreciate it when you have any one good in your life.  This guy has come through for me so many times, it's sickening.  He's legit.  He's a great friend, a great athlete, and a stellar student.  No wonder we are all in love with him, lulz!

Okay, lates, tates!

I Didn't Know...That...

... helping my friend meant spending an entire weekend helping his dad fix-up the house!  I need to be careful about what I say and also more assertive.  I guess it doesn't help when your dad joins in.  He first asked me to look up some planer reviews to which I responded he already had TWO in the garage.

My dad is nuts though!  He loves tools and fixing things up.  He added a whole wooden patio/deck (it's pretty neat) about two years ago.

But today is Friday which means I'm going out tonight to meet up with my friends and to bring the town down to a halt... okay, nothing extreme, just some healthy fun.  A few drinks, hopefully a good mix of males and females, and lots of dancing... that's all I can ask for.

Man, did I mention that my boss sucks?  Between him and my weekend going on fixing up my friend's house, repairs all over, I should be nice and wound up, haha.  But how can I complain?  He's my buddy and maybe it'll be more fun than I think.

On another note, that punk better let me play on his new XBox One.  Sucks because I have PS 4 and I wanted to play Madden and crap with  him but whatever.  This fool will catch on one day.

Hmmm... wonder what my other friends are upto this weekend?  Text me and let's get this shiz rollin' :D

I am sure I'll be back in a bit, haha...

The Party That I Threw Last Year... :D

Last year I threw my parents a party for their 20th anniversary and hired performers from JugglingInferno.com to put on some fire shows and provide entertainment for a few hours. It was so awesome and they always talk about it with excitement. 

It's nice to hear how much they enjoyed it and how they hope they can see them again. They don't know it yet, but I plan on hiring them again for my neighborhood's block party for a Fourth of July celebration. I love block parties. The more people I get to meet and talk to, the better. Also, the food at these parties is delicious! 

It's not just regular food, but some ethnic dishes as well that exposes people to different tastes. Everyone makes something and we all just line up like a buffet, and there's even a contest on the best tasting dish. We all pitch in and the winner gets $500! For the last two years, the same person won. I need to come up with something that can win this time! Other than the food and talking to good people, there is so much great music and fun dancing. I've never experienced a block party until I moved here a few years ago. As for my major duty, I'm going to book the performers now though, so I can get them and plan everything else out too. 

I'm going all out with this and will have all the performers there. It's going to be like a small circus, with fire dancers, stilt-walkers, hula hoopers, jugglers, and performers putting on glow shows. At the end, there will be a pyrotechnic finale, which should be a fantastic ending! I can't wait to see them again, and see all of my friend's and neighbor's reactions. We're going to have the best party ever! 

Best One Yet...

Oh, That Road Trip!

It's really cool to be back on here.  Sometimes social media feels overwhelming (God, I sound old!) but I was missing expressing myself, so here we go.

Last month, we went on a road trip.  I generally don't care for road trips but we went across the country from FL to DE to across the country to CA.  Super neat.  It was two weeks long but being packed in a car can be so freakin' overwhelming at times!  Thank God my sister was there along with two of my best friends so even when we got into this one particular shady situation, I knew we all had each other's backs.

While I was on the road, I busted my one and only one so I had to look up iPhone chargers and had the delivered all the way, 1000 miles away from my home, to a friend's house, where we stopped for one night.

Thank God for understanding friends!  We were all able to eat a nice, home cooked, nutritious meal (junk food gets old FAST!), play with his cats, fill up on groceries, take hot showers, and yes, sleep on a couch... even that's a blessing!

I also have allergies which sucks.  Thanks to my car iPhone charger, I was able to watch Netflix to kill the boredom once in a while.  Love that service, btw, and for so cheap too!  I got caught up on House of Cards, what an awesome show.  Frank's character, hands down, is one of the best that has been fleshed out.  

There are only a handful of online sites I shop from for a few reasons: I have no faith in the integrity of credit card transactions that take place on these sites.  Second, some of my online shopping experiences have left a very bad taste in my mouth... some stores never honouring an exchange or  a refund, which is stupid because otherwise, I loved their merch... and could have been a life long shopper.

Happy with how quickly I received the charger and in tip top condition :)  I will probably order a couple more accessories and buy a regular charger and earbuds for my sister as a little thank you.

Finally! Getting What I Need To Make Some Things Easier :)

I attend college all week in a wheelchair and carrying a back pack around, along with having to run errands, can be a bit too much to handle all at once. My parents put some money in my account to buy a brand new scooter, which I was very thankful for, since I have a very busy schedule and this will be much easier to use. I have a lot of books, so not everything fits in my back pack. I found this mobility scooters website that has some nice accessories to order to go on my new scooter.

I ordered a front and back basket to carry some groceries in on my way home, and to hold some notebooks so my back pack is not so heavy. I can also put my coat in one of them, so I don't have to keep it on my lap or put it on another desk, fearing that I might leave it behind. Sometimes I am able to use crutches to get around in tight spaces, and they have a holder I can have installed on the scooter so I can take them with me. That is so awesome! I'm also going to get a cup holder to take some coffee and a cell phone holder so I don't lose my phone. 

Sometimes, I can't see bikes coming up from behind me, so having a rear view mirror will be great so I can try to let them go by instead of blocking the sidewalk. It also comes with a safety flag so people can see me in their cars, just to be safe. And I got a battery charger to charge my scooter before I head out in the morning. I'm sure I will find more accessories as I go and I will be set! I'm excited to get this easier mode of transportation. 

Can't wait to hit up the ocean though... even if it's hard for me, I love it!  Plus, Lil Man loves the water and other dogs ;)
