FRISATSUNDAYS AGAIN
So because of the overwhelming response that I got from my last weekend recap here is the second tradition.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FRI: Normally Fridays are awesome, and this one happened to be a little slower, but still enjoyable. After work I went by the Dope Couture shop to peruse the goods and the shop. Matt, the founder/owner/the dude was out in LA for a little vaca so I took a small lap in the shop and headed home.
As it was, a lot of people were one place or another this weekend. Top & Babcock are out in Vegaszona, Callis went up north, Cat is in the Cayman Islands, and I was at home. So I chilled out on the couch, contemplating whether or not I should go to Brothers. I sat long enough that Richie showed up after work, and we "chilled" and waited for Langer to get ready to head to Brothers. On the way we scooped up Ben.
When we stepped in the bar, our typical end of the bar was taken, the upstairs was closed, and there was no Natalie standing behind the bar. "Someone changed Brothers into Sisters..." But after a few cold ones, friends rolled in, Natalie was back behind the bar, upstairs opened and pool playing, Big Buckin' and other gameness ensued.
Gum flavored shots and bar food was the next MO. With pockets wearing thin, and a staggering stance it was time to head out.
I rolled back to my place with Lynds, she was done for the night because she had to work Saturday. Richie and Ben picked me up for a late night NHL session at Ben's. Epic games followed.
By 1:30am we dipped out.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SAT: "Today I will get a Tv." I already had a few, but I want a big one, thats skinny, and shiny and shit. So I got on my grind, hitting up contacts to get a discount. (Im cheap, im not payin' full price.)
Hello 42LG50. Most of the day was dedicated to rearranging our apartment, and fitting all of my packrat art stuff back into an orderly display.
With everything back to normal and a soaking wet TV, I called up the crew for some Rock Band and bullshit. Me, Lynds, Rich, Nahas, Nicole, Shestak, Char, Santizzle, and Holly wrapped up a bottle that I bought for Nicole. (she hooked me up with the discount) And the bullshit continued.
Everyone cashed out around 2:15am when my ill advised pizza arrived. It was the shit, but totally unnecessary.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUN: "Someone rearranged our living room, and left behind a big ass tv." Short and sweet: Rich came by to play NHL while Lynds went shopping. Nahaus and his buddy came by to hike with the dogs and toss some frisbee, chicken dinner, US of Tara, Fantasy Factory, and one more game o' hockey.

Weekend's End, Weeks Begin
There hasn't been much personal commentary on this blog, mostly because I would rather share images, music, and movies. But, as it may be, this is only really read by close friends, or bored internet seekers. Not sure if you guys want to know what I am up to.. but here was a run-down of what I did this weekend..
FRI: After work: Headed to the Ridge of Forests, Chilled for a minute, had a beer at Callis' while he was ellipticalling his way to glory.. Then we headed up to Brother's to meet Richie and the rest of the Friday Brother's Crew.
As always, Richie was sittin' at the end of the bar with shots of Jameson ready to shoot. (Btw, the only reason they have Jameson is because of us on Friday's.) With the shots gone, and people straggling in after thier week, more rounds of Jameson and pitchers of beer insued.
Santos entertained us with his commentary on Forest Gump, and how Jenny pisses him off in a hundred different ways. "Biggie" Balboa joined the crew, fresh from Boulder, CO. Shestak, Charolotte, Dooley, and Lynds rounded out the bunch.
Upstairs eventually opened, and we filed north for conversations with Natalie, our favorite bar tender, games o' pool, outside fire pit pow-wows, and Big Buck Hunter. After much deliberation, and last minute drinks, we managed to talk the gals into goin to Brumley's for a basement rock session. (We did by promising to bring Rock Band 2, so they could play, while we played.)
So we headed west. To the basement that has produced such timeless albums as: "She Won't Go," "Kyle is White," "Lyndseyland" and "Rockin' til' the Cemetary."
Great times, great rhymes.
Dropped ol' Sleepy headed Richie off at the Ridge because he had to play at the bank in the morning, and continued on to Steak N Shake to let the alki soak up. (Chilli Mac to go? Callis.)
Called it a night, Picasso was happy to see us. Lynds and I greeted him on the bed as always, and apparently quickly fell asleep. Because I woke up at 6:30am and we were in all of our clothes sleeping on top of the covers with Cassoman between us... what a Friday.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
SAT: Rolled outta bed around 12:30 to let the dog out. The weather was awesome, 70 at least! Balboa called. He had been rolling around looking for free wifi so he could pre-order Rothbury tickets. All he could find was an AT&T service that charged users. So he swung by to "chill," share some music, and use the internet to order tix.
Upon his departure, I cleaned up, and Lynds & I took Picasso on an "adventure." We found a new trail through Muller Park near the Village. We let Casso off his leash and he romped through the paths, discovering a creek, and proceding to drink and play in it.
After, I joined up with the crew: Shestak, Callis, Richie, Topoll, and Balboa we headed to play a little 3-on-3 at the Millenium Outdoor Courts. (Westsiders proved victorious: Me, Rich, Callis.)
Everyone dispersed. Really the rest of the night was chalked up to Chinese food, NHL 09', a mission to get ice cream resulting in Callis, Lynds, and I buying a pie, 5 different types of ice cream, cones, mountain dew, and downloading and watching Beverly Hills Chihuahua. (Surprisingly entertaining and Enjoyable)
---------------------------------------------------------------------
SUN: Woke up an hour late. Not because I had to go somewhere, but because the time changed. Rolled outta bed, did a little design work, and went shopping with Lynds.
We checked out the new Smith Sport & Shoe on Walnut. The new logo is not so good, I wish I could help them out.. we didn't find anything great, so we left empty handed.
Then we perused Goodwill for "old heavy stuff" and did not find any treasures so continued on to a few other spots in search of storage solutions for our apartment. Took down some measurements for storage, treated Lyndsey to her first BK burger (she usually gets chicken apparently) and picked up a few groceries for Burritos later in the night. By the time we got home it was approaching 6 o'clock.
I sat down at the computer to get in a few more minutes of design work, watched the beginning of the IU game, and got ready for my Basketball Game at the Sportsplex. We killed the other team, although my stats were lackluster to say the least, 3 points, 3 rebounds, 2 fouls, and maybe 4 assists in a 85 to 54 effort.
When I got home, Lynds was cookin' up a storm o' burritos as I relaxed on the couch to catch the end of IU's losing effort. Luckily Fantasy Factory soon followed the game to get me back in good spirits, we watched the end of Rock of Love, because the College Humor show blows, and then flipped back to MTV to catch the new Nitro Circus.
Because of the time change we weren't tired, so we watched the new episode of United States of Tara on Showtime. Good stuff. Then bed.
Until next weekend.....
Leave a comment if you thought this was worth reading, because it is way easier just to post photos, music, and video.

No Pounds in '09
So New Years Eve is too cool to be called by its full name right?Bill NYE the science guy agrees. So the westsiders, after throwin'
back bottles and poppin' balloons in faces decided that something
must change in '09.
Out with the pound! No exploding hands in 2009.
Street Cred
After that last pussy-ass realistic post. I had to follow it up with something hard. So I typed in "So Hood" and got this image. I am so hood. (or at least I am currently wearing a sweatshirt with a hood.)
Fridays
Hey its fucking Friday! so we are going to Brothers after a hard days work.. Santos says it is the shits of Bloomington. Brew flowin', ladies goin', and smokers smokin' in the pit, up-top, out-back.
