fun
meaning: cross the cultures cross the city --> bathed in radiant lights of day and street light nights
1. don real fur. skate down to the bros and the girls drinking James Ready in the hot hot hot afternoon light... some were down with the veggie burgers --> this is sorta East Village North in a way so it's all good (understood?)
2. when Nixon and I finally made it up north there to the midtown Italian - Portuguese festival, the burning ball in the sky had shifted to a sentimental circle that was bent on adding colour to the evening of Brazilian dancers, uniformed stage bands and the six blocks jammed with immigrant families, young couples and blue collar workers. the empty streetcar tracks disappeared with the curve of the hillside into the distant haze of the midtown landscape -- it was a light but thick green.
3. saw an old roommate i hadn`t talked to in years. that went pretty well. looked pretty bulky. i thought he would be a bitch to me. but he was pretty cool. but he did talk a bit in riddles, if you know what i mean. like, the way people talk to you when they have some negative opinion about you (i.e. their ego is telling them they`re better than you) but they don`t really want to tell you.
4. heard a new version of this laid back band`s wikkidist song. we had to pass through one dark bar, and head through a curtain to the back room to take in the set. the guitar screams california. the lyrics inspired. apparently the drummer holds shit together. they could be for hippies or hipsters -- and yet they wouldn`t belong to either category. somehow the tunes are crisp and marketable. you just know they don`t think they`re better than anyone -- ya know... apparently they`ve just started recording my favourite track -- and, this stoked me out, the drumbeat they just laid down is pretty damn intense, the lead singer says...
5. gathered gossip on the inner-workings of the jungle crews of the city. one of the star players in the scene is looking for a new home. *but i may have already witnessed the next step --- I talked to a powerful party promoter that`s trying to bring FG on board... that was random but nice to hear
6. met up with my womens studies girl and just chilled on her porch at like 3 a.m. or whatever. i guess she likes dubstep now. and MIA. obviously. I guess the new vid with Rye Rye is just SMOKING HOT. (i.e. the girls are smoking hot -- chillin on a couch or something). this coming from a women`s studies major.
7. made some beats. yeah.
8. and etc.
So we had this major BBQ on the 3rd, because we had to be different from everyone who was celebrating on the 4th. I had my 3 closest friends come, and it was ~le shit~
We played cheesy board games, and my parents beat my siblings in beer pong. The best sight ever was my mother with a glass of zinfandel in her hand, she does this casual little throw and gets it in the last cup like nothing. And I ate so much. My dad cooked piles of delicious things, and there was macaroni salad, and there was cake, and there was apple pie, and there was onion dip.
And after going to bed at 1 a.m., my dad wakes us all up at 7:00 to go to the beach. We all wanted to go, but we were such zombies this morning. But we go over it, and got to the beach at about 9:00. It was where my dad used to go as a kid. I did beach stuff and got major sunburn on my back. Then my dad decides to make a makeshift volleyball "net" out of garbage cans and drawing lines in the sand. We didn't keep score (But everyone knows me and my dad whooped their asses, they just wont admit it)
Shit I love my family.
After that week two weeks ago, I was ready to freaking snap on anyone and everyone! I even called Randy this past week and said your turn to plan date night and it is going to be after Father's Day!
We called our instructor at TKD and I gave him the low down on why I have been so stressed and he said no problem, we set up a couple private instruction times for this next week on top of our normal class times just so we can get caught up. I am okay with that.
DeLaney had a play date last week. Her lil friend's mom and I don't totally agree on a lot of things but we agree not to hold that against the girls. Randy and I have to sit down every time that DeLaney is with that lil girl and explain some things to her that they do and why we don't. But I had to have some words with her friend's mom about men and kids and how she will NOT be poisning MY Daughter's head against her dad or any other man because she is having issues with her current hubby and is going through a divorce. The girls have one major thing in common concerning their dads. They both work on the road. And that is where the similarity ends. Randy is very logical and is a non practicing Lutheran that is slowly starting to go through my various religious and spiritual books and is questioning both my moms and myself on things. Laney's lil friend's dad is a fluff ball wiccan wonder. Randy makes a point in calling his kids and myself EVERY NIGHT he is on the road, even if it is for only one night he is gone. Laney's lil friend's dad doesn't even bother calling his daughter when he is gone and he is gone for 6 months to a year at a time for a job! Might only come home for the weekend once a month! When he is home he buys Laney's lil friend off and makes it a competition between him and his soon to be ex wife. Randy doesn't buy his kids' affection. He spends time with them even when he is tired!
Anyway the reason why I am so ReEnergized, we got invited down to the RiverFront Day's Dance Friday night by some of our friends! My parents took the kids for the night and over night so Randy and I could go out. Well Randy and my friend's ol man had to work the next day so they maintained. My friend and I said screw it! Her in laws had her kids over night, my parents had our kids over night, other friends that showed up managed to talk their parents into keeping their kids over night and we had a blast! We left our friend's house about 9:30 pm and went to go get gas. Where we laughed our assess off! Some chicy babe at the gas station was already ripped by quarter till 10! She ended up leaning out of a duel diesel big ass truck to blow chunks in front of the county cop no less! My girl then got hit on by that same county cop while paying for the gas!:P We went over to the Bottle Shop and got beer and ice for the cooler and toook a cruse down by the dance to see if anyone was there, NOPE! So then we headed down to the marina so we could see who was there.
We decieded to walk in and have a beer down at the Marina Bar. Nothing but out of staters, ppl from Omaha and the Bluffs, and ol ppl coming in from the river. The guys each had one beer. My girl and I don't like beer and knew that is what we were pretty much stuck drinking Friday night so we guzzled two down at the marina to get that nasty ass taste out of our mouth. Then we drove back up to the main street and hit the bar! The bar was jumping! We didn't get very far from the door it was so packed. But that is okay we had a grand blast (us girls) talking to everyone coming and going from the bar. Saw one of our friends' from higschool brothers there! That was a trip! He is older then my cousin who is older then my sister! And here he is trying to hang with the young bucks! Then we turned around to help out a friend of my friend who was being hit on by some drunk young buck straight out of highschool and saw "The Smurf and Torpedo Tits" from highschool! Two girls that are 4 years older then us and thought their shit didn't stink. Smurf is married to a guy from my brother's class who stands 6'3 and that bitch only stands 5'2! Talk about your odd couples! They weren't to happy seeing us there laughing at them! Especially knowing the fact we know they are two elementry school teachers and ten to one some of their school kids' parents were at the bar drinking up also! They stopped to talk to us because they knew we know more ppl than they did down there and Smurf's hubby was drunk off his ass really trying to talk to me about my brother! Our hubby's were just sitting at the bar trying not to go to sleep on us and chatting with various guys they knew or worked with off and on. I got Randy to do a Jager Bomb with me. We decieded it was time to hit the dance and the beer garden when one of our other friends FINALLY showed up!
So we get to the dance, and of course it is one of the local bands that ruines every fucking song they attempt to sing or play, so we went on out to the beer garden where we promptly ran back into our friend's brother. Laughed our asses off at our friends' ex sister in law who was getting rubbed up on by ol men and nasty looking men showing off her fake titties that she got in an attempt to keep his brother from divorcing her! Nobody would do a shot with me so I talked my friend's brother into doing one. Then I had some dude buy me another shot thinking I would go down with back to back shots with all that beer in me already, suprise. That fucker took two steps from the beer garden and went down hard! I laughed and went back to our group. My girls were laughign and said when are ppl going to realize that when you drink you drink! Randy was suprised at hell because he was trying to keep track of how much I was haivng because he has NEVER seen me drunk until Friday night!
All we did was talk, a couple of dances with our men, go to the bathroom,a nd drink! It was a blast! We walked out of the dance about 1 and straight into a line of county cops and town cops waiting for the drunks to stagger out. We lost my girl back in the dance cause she got to talking! Her ol man went back into get her and Randy and I sat outside and talked to the cops! I promptly took my shoes, my earings, and my necklace off. Oh by the way you should have seen me! I was looking HOT! I had short black figure hugging capries on, a pair of heeled black slip on sandles, a brand new yellow, orange, and balck halter type top that showed off the tat tats (which I promptly made sure to say loud enough to my girls ex sister in law were REAL and NOT fake when my girl said loud enough boy you sure have big tat tats to be holding that top up!-were bad and catty I know!) and I bought matching yellow big hooped earings and a black and yellow necklace to go with the outfit! We finally got going back to our friends' house when he found his wife and he chitted up the cops a lil bit. Thank GODS that the men were stone sober and just maintained their drinking while us girls got ripped!
We took back country roads home and that is where I fully admit to saying I lost my cookies! Mixing all thsoe shots with beer and then hitting back country roads so the guys could have a couple of beers on the way home. Up and down, curves up and down on bluff roads with two very drunk ppl in the car is not a mix to make! My girl was laughing her ass off at me and laughed even harder when I mangaded to say "Hell at least I am not blowing chunks! It is straight up booze and beer!" They guys were laughing just as hard because Randy still can't believe I was that drunk and I was still very coherant to remember everything! Well I got the last laugh Saturday at 8 am when my girl woke me up! She admitted to loosing her cookies after she went to bed at 2! I was flopped down on my bed at 1:30!
We felt bad and fully admit we own our men big time! They worked 12 hours Friday, came home and took us out to the dance and turned around and got up at 5am after going to bed at 2 am! My girl had to pick up her youngest at her inlaws by 9:30 and I had to go pick up my kids sometime in the morning from my parents. Well we did that and low and behold my parents took off with my kids! So we went to my house with her lil girl and while I was picking up they sat back and relaxed! I called my folks to find out when they were going to be home and after they got home, we grabbed my kids and headed back down to River Front Days!
We watched the parade and laughed our assess off at her brother in law's ex wife (the one with the fake tat tats!) because she thinks she is soooooooo cute and she cant' even wear decent clothes and her ass crack was showing all day. Me and my girl are big girls but we have some class and know how to show our curves off properally! And again we did. We kept getting hit on all day long! plus ppl were trying to steal my cowboy hat! Yes I was wearing a cowboy hat! A black straw one with a skull and cross bones on it! Our four kids know how to work parades, they all had huge bags of candy which we promptly put away after the parade in the van. Then we bought all 4 of them wrist bands to hit the street carnavale and let the 3 oldest go off by themselves while my girl took her lil girl around and I hit the store for bottles of water and motrin to work off our booze headaches!
It was great. Once I talked to a few ppl making my way back to my girla nd her lil girl, we found out the bar we were at last night was giving free BBQ Beef Sandwiches away from one of my girl's aunties. So we went in and loaded up for us and the kdis. Then her hubby showed up and let me know my ol man was home napping!:D We loaded her man up on a plate and made our way back through the carnaval! My kids and I finally made it home about 3:30, where Randy was sleeping on the couch! I set the kids up outside in their lil pool and the phone. Told them if they needed anything to come up to my room and wake me up and I promptly laid down on the bed for a tw hour nap!
Amazing what a weekend out will do for a person! Today after my Moms gets back with the rug rats from Mass, the kids and I are treating Pappo and Daddy out to a nice Brunch for Daddy's day.
Hope all the Dad's have a great Daddy's Day! Same with the single Mom's out there! Have a great Daddy's Day if you are also Daddy!:D
