4 Coronas, an 83 & a trip to Sin City, OH
My titles always give me away. Sorry, it's been so long since I blogged - guess I didn't have much to write about. Or maybe I did - hell, I dunno. I went to my grandparents last weekend - had a great time breathing fresh air, watching the dogs bark, visiting with all of my cousins and spending some good quality time with my aunt charlotte whom I love dearly.
I wish I could blog from the road - I think I can - I just haven't figured out how to just yet. I was driving the other night from Emily's house and I was passing by the old car-jacking place. No one knows this, I am sure. When I was 19, I was car-jacked - sorta - I mean, I ran over one of the five guys that attacked my car with rifles. Anyway, the other night while driving home, I realized how much of this precious city has discinergrated (sp?). It's gone - the jiffy lube was the spot of the crime and it's gone - boarded with a new sign for something coming soon. I didn't even see the payphone. The once small time shopping center where I would eat dinner at Carabas is now a full blown center with a gap and an epicurean market. Strange how things grow. Strange how people grow I suppose.
Anyway, this isn't the point of my blog- I guess I am getting long winded as usual. My 25th birthday is on Sunday. Weird -I feel old. I feel like I have lost some years along the way - I am not ready to be 25. It's freaking me out. But I guess I will survive, so long as no one remembers my birthday next year. I have always said that I would A) quit smoking & B) never celebrate another birthday after 25. We'll see. I hope 30 gives me some love. It's comingbefore I know it.
Another tangent - - - - - - - Ok, hell, I have 4 beers, well, 5 now tonight because I was having heart palupitations (sp?). I thought it would help. Anyway, I got an eighty three on my second government exam and I will probably finish the semester with a high B. I made my rent again because of this "ok" grade. My parents are cool and I think they accept that I gave it my best. I give my presentation on the history of Texas Politics on Wednesday and damn it - I must say - It's going to be a kick ass presentation. I rule.
So, Monday, I think I am going to visit my very good friend NICK whom I haven't seen in almost 5 years. We speak at least 3 times a week and I can't imagine how long it has been since I have hung with him. I remmber being in Skagway, hanging with the "Skags" ihn an internet cafe im'ing him. He's so wonderful - just a really wonderful, warm friend that knows I am nut as much as I know he is. Anyway, Cinncinati, OH doesn't know Texas is coming just yet. I think I will go on Monday and come back home on Sunday. I have to book my ticket tomorrow. It's one of my birthday presents from my mom and Richard. Love them.
Blab Blab Blab. I always feel so full of myself writing in this blog but so long as everyone reads I guess that I will be. Kevin is leaving in a week and his going away party is in Austin on Saturday. I have to go so if anyone is around in Austin this weekend gimme a call and say happy birthday to this old lady.
