  • Yesterday was one heck of an expensive day.  Lost my phone... bought 4 new pairs of dress shoes and 2 new suits... unknowingly blew away nearly $300 on alcohol.


    So... we go out to a club/bar on Division for my buddy's cousin's birthday.  I'm pimpin out one of my shiny new sapatos and sportin' a striped blue tie.  As Rudes says: overdressed as usual!  The night started off a little slow, because we got there at 9 pm.  It was an all you can drink for an hour and, well... we took advantage of it.  But somehow (between having several shots with the birthday boy, some out-of-towner girls, and the bartender, in addition to my bottomless glasses of Tanqueray and tonic) I got very plastered.


    I don't remember a whole lot but I do remember getting asked to leave.  I requested if I could at least let my friends know first, and they allowed me to.  So, I tell Rudes that I'm getting kicked out and he just told me to sit down and chill for a bit, and if they ask me again then we will leave.  They never came back for me.  But I think that's around the time I lost my phone.


    Rudes didn't really know how messed up I was until he saw me dancing!  That's right dancing!  and with a group of ladies that we didn't know.  I don't even remember any of this so I have to take his word for it.  First of all, it's so unlike me to dance (drunk or sober); at least not lately.  The other thing is, it's unlike me to dance with strangers.  Anyway, Rudy started looking around for me 'cuz I disappeared.  He had to do a double-take 'cuz the last place he was expecting to find me was on the dance floor.  Needless to say, Rudes, being the good wing man that he is, shuffles over to the dance floor to help out.  The ladies were part of a bridal party and I guess I just went up to them and started dancing with them.  I swear, I remember NONE of this.  Rudes just told me all about it later (when I sobered up in the morning).


    I woke up this morning face-down and sprawled out on his living room floor.  The contents that were in my pockets, I found scattered across the floor and there was a special bucket just for emergency use, which I definitely put to use.


    Considering I lost my phone, and I'm a lot broker, I'm in a pretty good mood today.  I will be going to a wedding tonight, but I think I'm just gonna chill with a bottle of high quality h2o!  ahhh!


    I just ordered one of these to cheer me up (though it made me even more broke):

  • wow, sounds like a very fun weekend... didja stick to your h20 resolution?

  • only until my drinking friends came... BUT this time I was not even close to being inebriated... while the rest of them were passed out on the restaurant table as I ate my Gyros special from Zorba's.  :laugh:

  • just like old times... sounds like the ole Ray I remember "dancing king"   (you must've been hurtin' at the wedding... with the hangover n' all)

  • Actually, I was fine at the wedding... I was just really tired by the end of the night.  Heck, I'm still tired now.  And wait a minute, I don't remember doing a whole lot of dancing when I was hanging out with y'all.  That was later after UIC.  :lookaround:
