• Weekend

  I miss writing here, truly. I wish I could update more often, but whenever I want to, it’s always about something negative and I hate writing about negative things, even though it does help to have an outlet here. And you guys are all wonderful. At least, the very select few of you that actually do read this. Hah. Anyways…this weekend has been a whirlwind. But I’ll actually start with my roommate situation. 

   

  As you know my current roommate Christy is moving out. Honestly, I used to have a huge thing for her. Over time though, and while living with her, I learned that she’s basically just a pretty face. Pretty much all of her friends hate me, and I haven’t done anything to deserve that. Her best friend definitely hates me, and I opened my apartment up to her and allowed her to put her fucking photo studio HERE. Not something I really wanted because since it’s my apartment, I have plans for the space that’s available. But whatever, it’s gone now. Although I’m going to miss her friendship, what I won’t miss is her lack of responsibility. She could never keep anything clean. If I took a picture of the kitchen floor right now you’d probably be a tad disgusted. All the stains on the floor are from her cooking and spilling shit everywhere. It’s gross. I bought a swiffer mop so I’ll be able to clean it up, but that’s only because she doesn’t know how to clean up after herself. I can deal with her being a slob for 10 more days before she finally leaves. Ok I’m ranting. But yeah so, I posted an ad on Craigslist that I’m looking for a roommate. I’ve never really done that before, and I NEVER expected the volume of emails and texts and calls that I got in response to the ad to be so large. It was at least 10 responses a day for about 3 or 4 days straight. After that they started to dwindle and fade out a little bit which made me happy. But I still was losing a huge amount of sleep over it. It’s hard to maneuver showing an apartment when you have a roommate that doesn’t really tell you when she’s gonna be home or not. Anyways, I wound up showing 3 people. 2 guys and one girl. The girl was originally my first choice, however after some thought, I decided against it and wound up showing one more person, because the other two guys were asking for short term leases. I’m glad I did because the kid I showed is going to be my new roommate. He’s 6’5″, 22, and he plays basketball and is a gamer. I couldn’t be more thrilled with the way that turned out. I love basketball and I love games. He’s also not a huge partier like my current roommate is, so that’s a big plus. Now I’ll finally be able to sleep at night without having to worry too much about someone slamming the door coming in at 3am after a night out, or slamming the door leaving at 7am. Yeah she does that. No respect. So this guy will be moving in on June 1st hopefully. I couldn’t be more excited. I hope he moves in soon enough for us to chill out and watch the remainder of the NBA playoffs. I’ll even help him. I don’t care. But now the search is done and over with and I’ve been sleeping better ever since. 

   

  Next on the list, I’ve finally begun officially planning the bachelor party for my buddy John. We’re thinking of meeting up for lunch in town, and then enjoying ourselves with some go-carting and mini-golf during the day, possibly bowling or laser tag if the weather doesn’t cooperate. Or maybe even some basketball/racquetball or something like that. But after the day activities, we’re going to rent a limo for the night and be on our way to Buffalo for dinner at Dave&Buster’s as well as some arcade fun. After that we’ll freshen up at our hotels and go wreak havoc on Buffalo all night. Strippers will be included and drinks will be flowing. I’m excited for this. I never get to be a part of anything this big so making this all happen is a huge step for me and I want the challenge.

   

  Next, this past weekend I went to Boston to watch my buddy Mike’s MMA fight. He’s a pro and entered the fight with 7 wins and 2 losses. He specializes in wrestling, and has never been submitted or finished. Every single one of his fights has gone to a decision, and that’s the way he likes them. The longer the fight goes, the better he does. This fight also went to a decision. He stood toe to toe with the opponent for 3 five minute rounds. The guy is from the UFC, and was an Ultimate Fighter semi-finalist. Which means he almost made it to the big time. His specialty was striking and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, although that didn’t help him, because Mike took him to the ground on 4 separate occasions during the fight. His first takedown came after he ate a big right hand from the guy, fell backwards, popped right back up and shot in for a takedown. In about 10 seconds, Mike had taken control of his opponent’s back and was in position for a rear naked choke, but the kid slipped away. I won’t go into too much detail, but Mike wound up being on the losing side of the judge’s decision…which was complete bullshit. Every time the kid threw a punch, the crowd went nuts because he was a hometown hero (originally from Boston). His punches never hit Mike, and it was because of the crowd and the way Mike was moving his head, that the judges thought the strikes were hitting. They weren’t. Mike’s face wasn’t even bruised or anything. He looked like he was about to enter a fight instead of leaving it. I can’t say the same for the other kid. His face was bruised from the top of the bridge of his nose all the way down to his mouth on both sides of his nose. He eventually wound up going to the hospital to be checked for a concussion. Mike screwed him up really bad and it’s confusing as hell how he wound up losing. He told me after the fight, that when they started announcing the round scores by points, he thought they were announcing them in his favor because the fight was way different than what the judges saw. He said when the fight ended, he was sure he had won. He wound up losing in a unanimous decision. I don’t know what his next move will be, but I know him and he’s going to use this as motivation to improve his boxing and striking even more. I can only hope that I’ll have a role in helping him with that. The next few months I’m very excited for, just to see how he responds to adversity.

   

  Finally…the last part of this. I had a girl over tonight. I met her a while ago, through a mutual friend of mine (who happens to be kind of a self-centered prick). We watched Anger Management and layed in bed cuddling, then I kissed her and well, that’s the most enjoyment I’ve ever gotten without actually having sex. She really knows how to handle herself and that’s a huge turn on. We fooled around for a good half hour before I stopped myself and let her go home and sleep. I already have told her that I don’t want to give her the wrong impression based on what happened tonight. I have hung out with her once before, at her place though. She can make me laugh, and she likes to tickle me, which is funny because I’m ticklish everywhere and can’t do anything about it…*sigh* girls. If things continue with this girl, and we wind up dating, I’ve no idea how I’m going to be able to fully open up. For any of you who have closely followed my blogs of the past, you know my history with women, and it makes me really nervous to think about a relationship again. I just hope this girl will be able to understand. She’s not crazy thank god. She’s normal, and she’s a couple years younger than me, but that’s fine. I’m at the age where it really doesn’t matter how old or young they are, so long as they’re old enough to drink and not immature. That’s all I’ll say about her for now. If we meet up again I’m sure I’ll write about it.

   

  But shit, it’s been a hell of a weekend…and I’m exhausted.

   

  Oh yeah, I’m still jobless. Lol. Hope you’re all well.

   

  Edit: As a note, I forgot to mention that when I came home from bachelor party planning, I was lucky enough to hear my roommate having sex with her boyfriend. She’s a moaner. June 1st can’t come soon enough.
