I got too crazy this past weekend; I need to be more careful. You know shit gets out of control when you drunkenly crash a welcome back party, at a school you don’t go too, wearing a giant cowboy hat, smoking a cigar, and eating cotton candy, as you ponder with the kid you didn’t know 4 hours ago the wonders of being Jewish. The last two months have had two sides. Monday through Friday I work. I work 8 hours a day. Sometimes I play tennis or run. Otherwise that is my existence, boring, standard, uneventful. My weekends are fucking outrageous. Virtually every weekend starting with Melissa’s visit to Peoria has been excessive and thrilling. I’ve gone to parties all over the Midwest it seems like. Well not really, only four states. But honestly that’s a lot of driving and road tripping. I doubt I would be going out this much if I was back at school. Currently I am centrally located away from all of my friends. Not quite close to any of them but not too far for an afternoon drive. Greg is in Iowa State, Kellie and Katie are in Winona, Carson is in St Thomas, Vegas was in Peoria, Chris is right across the street, and lets not forget all my brothers and friends in mayhem, down in TH. My only complaint is the massive amount of travel required every weekend. I really need people to come to Cedar Rapids in order to ease my burden. Perhaps if I go to University of Iowa next year, I’ll get a few more centrally located friends to hang out with. My next goal is to decide on a Thursday that I am leaving for NYC on a Friday, random and spontaneous, how sweet it could be. I saw a 250$ ticket today. Perhaps I can beg the airlines to drop it another 50$ and I’ll be golden.
