...I'm going to raw-dog your mother (just kidding)...
Another week begins. I have several things to report on. Let’s get started, shall we?
First thing’s first – HEATHER GOT THE JOB! She’s now a fitness instructor at New Lady Fitness! She didn’t even have to audition for the job – it was handed to her the same way it was offered to her…automatically. The lady told her: “I don’t even have to audition you, you can move.”
@Heather: Congratulations, sweetheart! I love you and I’m VERY proud of you.
This was an interesting weekend. Friday, Heather was gone for the night at Michelle’s parents’ house in Greenville. Ben and I went to Concord Grill for dinner and then watched Army of Darkness. Saturday, Ben, his brother Fabio, and I went to Greenville for their barbeque. I found out that I’m not completely horrible at baseball (after I found a batting stance that worked for me, I was delivering mostly solid hits), and that I have a somewhat knack for fishing (I caught three good-sized fish). The downside is that I got pretty sun burnt for my troubles. (Thank God for aloe vera.)
After we left the barbeque, we came home and hung out for a bit with Nate Berry. There was a lot of reminiscing over some of the crazy people we’ve come to know throughout the years (Mark West, James, Dan Mallet, etcetera). Until that point, I hadn’t really looked back and thought about the number of strange people I’ve met. It’s slightly disturbing.
The word of the day is “raw-dog”. It’s a verb, and it means ‘to fuck a Thai prostitute without wearing a prophylactic’. Use it in a sentence (see title), preferably verbally to a random stranger – an elderly random stranger.
We also had Scuba with us, who is now a college graduate. He has a B.S. (bachelor of science) like I do, in the field of construction management. (Beaver also graduated.)
@Scuba: Congratulations, Scuba!
(@Beaver: Congratulations.)
Sunday ended the weekend with shopping (more on that below), Chinese food, and movie night.
Question has returned to blog-world. He went through a period of self-doubt, as well as some other things, but all is well. He starts school in June and he’s got a definite plan in the works. Sounds like he might have a female interest (maybe, don’t quote me on that), too.
@Question: Congratulations, man! Keep at it, you’ll get where you need/want to be. I believe in you.
Heather’s party is still on for Saturday, June 11th, 2005. There was some question over whether it was, due to that being Erich’s birthday. (Don’t ask – I’d rather not open that can o’ worms today.) Anyway, the plan is going out to dinner before the party with whoever wants to do that, and then back to our place for the festivities. There will be drinks, food, games, music, movies…you know the drill. Those who feel like drinking exorbitant amounts are welcome to crash at our place, just bring a pillow and blanket.
I’m mulling over some ideas for some events this summer. MAJOR events. I won’t let the cat out of the bag just yet (as much as I’d LOVE to), as I still have to form a general idea of what is and isn’t possible. I’ll keep you all posted.
Other news (or As If Anyone Really Cares): The Council Chambers is making a come back. Jay Winkleman is going in the U.S. Air Force.
“Predator 2” is now mine. I also am awaiting “Without A Paddle” and “The Conan Collection” (the Barbarian, NOT O’Brien). Thanks to Sam Goody’s Replay Rewards, I will be getting even MORE music/movies soon. I already had $40 in rewards stocked up before I renewed, and now it’s probably close to $60 or more.
Go out and buy the new Nine Inch Nails album, “With Teeth”. Just do it. Sell blood or sperm if you have to – it’s worth it.

Fabio is actually the shortened version of his name.
His full name is Fabritzio. Ben's is Benadetto.
Like I told you before, Ben's family is hardcore, full Italian. Their parents aren't completely fluent in english, even.
