The week in review…

It’s sunday afternoon and I couldn’t think of anything better than to sit down and blog the amazing and rather spontaneous week I’ve had since sunday night. It all started sunday when JB called me to tell me that he was bored, I wasn’t surprised because I’m usually the guy that JB goes to when he’s bored at home. Basically, we did the usual routine of eating at Denny’s on Lawrence and we had the usual conversation. I had had a bad day that day because of work and stuff at home as well and I wasn’t feeling at all in the mood to be with JB since I had other plans that night. I was planning to go to the gym that night but when friends are “bored” I guess you have to oblige and go along cause there feelings would otherwise be hurt. Of course, we got into a conversation that night about our friend Ashley that night which was strange because up until then, this girl has been a mystery to me and an “annoyance ” to JB, or so he claims. He ended up paying for my food that night which I found nice of him but I still found it funny how he just ends up burying me for getting so much food yet he was the one that insisted. The next few days I just relaxed at home and until wednesday was when once again I found myself being the one talking and doing the listening on a little get together at Yogurtland. One of my friends from work, Audrey, is going away to college and she suggested that JB,myself, and someone who has recently become a friend of mine at work, Naimm get together at Yogurtland that night to hang. Me and Jb got there late but it wasn’t a problem because that’s when all the fun started. I find enjoyment in talking to people about everyday events, occurences, and all the drama that is involved in life but this time it was me telling Audrey directly about ow crazy this girl Ashley had been driving me. I told her all the usual things about how she has been talking to this guy, how close JB has gotten to her, and how she seems like one of those girls that just doesn’t know what she wants. After I had given her the rundown and I told her the hilarious story about a bar trip we made about 3 weeks ago (more on that later), it was JB’s turn to dish out his problems with women. The funny thing is, JB is the one that is talking to these girls and they get the wrong impression about the degree of words he uses but I have the opposite problem which is I scare girls away from what my friends tell me. It seems to me JB plays himself into traps with these girls and the one problem I see with him is that he contradicts himself a lot when he says stuff with these girls and it hurts him in the end. Yes, he can talk to girls but they get the wrong impression of him because he is so confident about himself he then thinks he can do anything and everything he wants. Him being “himself” hurts him in the end because then you usually don’t remember how you got there and then you’re fucked. Audrey alo ended up talking about her guy problems which I found to be insightful because they all end up being white guys. She’s smart and funny and that’s what any guy would want in a girl and her stories about going out with guys are good to hear because that describes her willingness to try new things. Then Naimm showed up which was cool because when he showed up it was his turn to open up about his relationship problems. He had tried to go for this girl at work that works with us but in the end he said it wasn’t worth it because she gives him mixed signals. He also talked about his problems that he had the year before with his ex and how he had sacrificed so much for her including taking her out and she complained too much of how they never went out. I found it amazing because at that moment I realized that Naimm is one of the “boys” at work because he’s around our age group and I think he has potential to be our new buddy. For a while, it had just been me and JB but I think the one thing that started to bring us together was P-Fresh and the culture that it creates. About three weeks ago, a bunch of us from work including myself, JB, Alex R., Valerie, Ashley, and John W. went to a bar in Campbell. The bar was fun due to the conversations that I got into with Alex and John and as well me being me with Ashley trying to get a word out of her. What I found amazing that night was getting see what kind of people John, Alex, and Valerie really were. I now consider them good friends of mine because they just like to have a good time and my philosophy is if you can find any way to have fun then do it. They’re all drinkers but I have no problem with that because my whole life I’ve been with people that drink. If I get asked to drink, I’ll decline politely because I’ve seen what alcohol does to people and my whole family does it so I’m just trying to be a new breed. The funnest part of that night was walking to Denny’s afterwards and I couldn’t velieve the crazy antics that were happening before me. First, there was A;ex screaming 408 never late and then you had John just stumbling around and talking non sense about women. Valerie was also pretty chill that night because she just seems like someone you want to share your life stories with. The highlight of the night were Alex and John talking about women and of course the now famous “hey where are my chicken tenders” which had me ballin’ the rest of the night. Alex of course had me laughing as well with his statements in spanish and his ever epic actions. But this past friday was certaintly interesting because only time can tell what was going to happen that night. That night after work, we hit up a club called “the spot” which mind you had been the first time ever I’d been to one. The funniest thing I noticed was that myself, JB, John, and Alex were all wearing almost mathcing striped colored shirts which was significant later on during the night. It was hot in that club and I tried my best to dance that night with Ashley. All I can say is that Ashley looked very beautiful that night and she looks even better without glasses than I would have imagined. It was worth a try to ask Ashley that night to dance because I had nothing to lose but oh well she went off to do her own thing. What I also remember that night was Alex telling me that one John had fallen on the carpet and it happened in slow motion which led to him getting kicked out but Alex telling me that some guy bought him a drink that night had me cracking up. Anyway after that, we drove to Denny’s and of course Ashely and her friend Lexi were there already but it seemed as if Lexi was throwing up after our trip the bar. Then I started talking to Valerie about how The Big Red Machine works and what goes on there. I don’t remember much of what I said because I was just yapping on and then I just remember incohrent talking with people taking pictures because we were wearing matching shirts. Then we headed back to Alex’s car and we talked some more about the night’s events which is a night I’ll never forget. The day after was rough cause I was so tired I could barely even begin to talk at my brother’s goddaughter’s party and now the NFL season has begun. We had some excellent games today, albeit none of them were too exciting because the real teams don’t show up until week 8 or so. But the best games of the day were Green Bay Vs. Philly, Pittsburgh Vs. Atlanta, and Houston looked very impressive against the Colts. Anyway, I wrote this to reflect some on my fun and spontaneous week which is always welcome, till next time!
