so much for that

i was so proud of myself last night, i didn’t have a single drink. I ate 3 sleeping pills and went to bed. I barely slept more then a hour or two, just laying awake, twitching and scratching.

i wake up and head to my 10:30 meeting. I call ahead, just to make sure im not getting dressed, shaving, etc for absolutely nothing, and she’s like “Yeah sure! Come by, mix yourself a drink”. I hangup the phone, thinking “oh she’s just mocking me cuz im a alcoholic” and get dressed.

I get to her office and they have one of the big mega bottles of jack daniels, like halfway empty. They weren’t kidding. They ask me if i want a drink. I pretend like they are twisting my arm. Whiskey and water, coming right up.

I make 2 phone calls after the good meeting, realize that there are no more meetings left, stop by my parent’s house and steal a beer, and drive home.

Now it’s noon, i have a buzz. What to do next.

yes yes yes win win win

fuck yeah.

leave memphis at 10pm with beer in hand.

everyone tells us to be careful. i lift my beer in approval and on to i-40 we go.

we drove through hell, just rain, rain, rain and not happiness. i was feeling pretty confident of my driving, i hadn’t drank that much, and i was only on my 2nd beer by the time we hit Jackson. Basically when you drive at night, in the rain, and drunk…you need to remember 1-2 things.

1) Colors

Follow 2 red dots:

Those are a truck. Just stick behind them, turn when they turn.

The White Lines:

These are your “sober lines”. When you cross one of these, you lose a point of soberness.

2) Music

Lound and angry. Mix rap and any NIN kind of music. It owned driving thru hell last night blaring Symbols.

Jeff tries to hide his fear.

We make it, crash at a hotel. The alarm goes off at 8am, i wake up, rub my eyes, walk to fridge, grab a beer. Jeff says “i think i understand, you drink alcohol when i eat food, right?”.

I sit, in a McDonalds outside of Nashville, watching a guy read a bible while jeff eats his mc griddle.

One beer later, im on my way back to memphis. I’m really pissed that memphis sucks, i feel like i wasted jeff’s vacation. Oh well, i tried.

Maybe this will be motivation to make my life more entertaining.

made it back

god, didn’t sleep hardly any, got to nashville too early. wandered around the airport. absolutely nothing intresting to write about.

car ran great, win win win.

andrew = leet

so tired tho, coffee is so evil. just drink, and blink, drink, and blink, turn up music, roll down window, gotta stay awake.

i think im going to get a cb radio for my car. i want to communicate with truckers about police.

checking ebay

this isn’t going happen

andrew, who i want to say is the god of all that is steel, just installed my mp3 player and speakers.

tornado sirens BLARING, like “wait, what did you say” blaring, he(i watched, tried) installed speakers.

of course, my mp3 player from my civic from…what a year ago, doesn’t want to be happy.

he ties it to a different fuse and disco.

ANDREW

IS

THE

FUCKING

MAN.

GET IN HIS WAY NOW.

Today was a day of lost hopes, regained and then lost and regained.

I woke up in the rain and cold, headed to my meeting at 10am. I get there, shaking, hungover and i fed off a homeless guy in the parking lot but his life blood wasn’t even enough. I set up my tablet and wait.

Excellent meeting. Win.

I roll to my homies on Lamara to pick up some speakers. I score for $60 something for Alpines. I mix fix my reality.

I get to Andrew’s, order them chinese food and he realizes we’re missing a key blue little connecty thing.

He leaves me with his girlfriend to go buy them, then the hail comes. Great, Andrew is dead, i gotta pick up jeff without speakers/stereo in Nashville, God reaches down and pushes you down, type of situation.

The clear skies.

The sirens start.

We’re outside, im watching him install my speakers, but i can’t ask any questions since neither of us can hear each other over the crazy air raid siren. After wiring my shit all kinds of McGiver ways, i have a stereo again.

Now i just need to go to bed in the next 20 minutes, drive to nashville and pick up jeff. I have the worst feeling im the weakest link in this whole thing.

Thank you andrew.

I had you toad.

Thank you, good night.

Hopefully this tuesday update will be followed with “got to nashville, got jeff, drove back, went to karoake, puked, win” update. Or else, um….

scoutMASTERtoad: wow imma update wiht that, hold on
scoutMASTERtoad: okay you are satan

Stream/BBS party

oh my fucking god.

i just woke up at 2pm, boots still on, camo pants, red and white hawaiian shirt, all of the stuff that goes in my pockets neatly stacked next to my bed.

last night there was a Stream/BBS reunion party. LOTS of old friends. I show up, pockets full of koozies and stickers and get hammered. It owned, so many people i havn’t seen in like 6 years.

it was nice to see all of you and thank you for looking at what’s left of my site.

after i leave sidestreet, i apparently drove to andrew and jana’s and drank whiskey at their house until roughly 5am.

i need more jesus in my life.

st aint nothing to fuck with

started out at neils, little bit of food. i was hungover from the night before, rushed to a meeting, went okay, picked up valerie.

we started cleaning apartment since we are being “inspected” sunday. i love having neighbers. neighbers = win

we head to the P & H. Having a great st patricks day, drinking pitcher beer, getting beat down by andrew in pool. Valerie freaks out since she thinks the lady at the bar stole her credit card. She hadn’t.

After she breaks a mirror and does other things that im not going to even mention on my site for her sake.

I sleep on the couch.

Wes and i head downtown Friday morning.

We meet the wrestler Big Show. I’m not really big into wrestling but famous people are always cool and this dude has been in some movies so after a night of not sleeping on the couch, i was down. We were meeting him at Hard Rock so figured i can get a bloody mary and maybe feel okay again.

It was great tho, this huge wrestler, i mean a huge orc of a man, is drawing the winner of the contest Wes won. See he Wes called in a day ago and won tickets to the wrestling thing in Memphis. He was also entered into a raffle for ring side tickets of the show in memphis and tickets to wrestlemania, which i think is the super bowl of wrestling.

*sips beer*

Anyway, Big Show is so big he can’t even fit his hand into the pitcher that has all the names in it, but one slip of paper floats out. It falls on the floor and he goes “no that’s the one, my hand can’t fit in the pitcher”. I yell out “WOOO WES!!!”, Big Show bends over, picks up the piece of paper, a astonished face appears and is like “umm yeah, Wes, are you here?”. People literally thought it was rigged, it was that ironic.

Wes wins the ring side tickets, some other dork wins the Wrestlemania tickets and we go home. The pictures of us meeting him will be up eventually but they are on a disposable camera that i bought on the way there. I need something called a “scanner”, i dunno, stupid computers.

my new housing solution

after the constant harassment of the neighbers, my new plan is to rent a storage unit and put my desk and computers there. the only kink in the plan is im not sure i can get roadrunner to install to a storage unit. i could maybe just get it turned on at the storage unit office and just not tell them and use wireless.

and of course we still always have the “you know what i need? a camper, think about it” option. Just a roaming diaster of monitors, traveling state to state visiting aim friends and parking his RV with crackhore.com spraypainted on the side of it.

time to look at them on ebay again

everyone have a safe st drunk driving day.
