I Wanted To...

Well…

Been a long time coming.

And it may be awhile longer.

I just finished working on a new blog in memory of a very good friend of mine who passed away over the holiday weekend.

It is 1:30AM and my ride to the airport leaves at 5AM and of course I haven’t packed yet!

I am truly the KING of procrastination. Ask Box!

Anyway, I’ve been back in FL for approximately a week and it’s taken me that long to get back in the swing. Box and I have been catching up and generally reacquainting me with my long lost bartenders.

There was a nice little birthday party waiting for me when I got back. Damsel gave me a blanket to take with me on future adventures into the frozen tundra of Pennsylvania in the summer. We had a good time playing our new jukebox theme game, with the night’s theme being Professions (guessing that was a hint, huh guys?)

As I think about trying to get a couple hours sleep before I have to leave to get back on a plane for a trip I’d give almost anything not to have to make, I wonder what I’ll put into this blog…

I’ll post a few cool pictures of designs Dubya had me printing while I was in PA.


I’ll add a picture of the team I played the Pottstown Rumble with…


And the $5 Wal-Mart light up shoes I wore since I only packed flip-flops.

I want to add so much to these two stories… I want to tell the story of walking through two airports carrying a “Queen of the Beach” duffle bag barely able to walk due to the tournament and a day of helping move furniture while wearing light up shoes and the looks I got.

I want to add the pictures of Breezy and I taking cell phone pics of some girl’s big ole purple panties riding halfway up her back and the drunk at the end of the bar commenting after she left that “it looked like she was driving a funny car and the parachute deployed.”

I want to add some new funny photos that have been e-mailed to me.

I want to add the sound of Box laughing at me today when he texted me how the mowing was going… since the front yard was high enough to hide giraffes.

My reply to his text…

I fought the lawn and the lawn won.

Of course we made up a whole verse to the song.

I wanted to tell of the fun we had at Applebees with RayRay… singing Fergie’s hit “Big Girls Deep Fry”

I wanted to tell the stories of my birthday party in PA, my volleyball friends that carried an old man to his last time on the court…

I wanted to tell the story of B&K and the rhythm!

I wanted to add a new poll question...

I wanted to tell y'all that I now have the ability to e-mail you an update notice when I publish something new. Just e-mail me and tell me to add you!

I wanted to add a music player to the page so that you would be forced to listen to what I chose for the page...LOL.

I added a new link for a great web blog called Bits and Pieces...it is awesome, check it out.

I want to do all this and more…

But it will have to wait upon my return as it was proven to me all too cruelly how precious life is.

I promise I’ll be back writing up a storm when I get back…

I'll repost this blog in a week with all the stories and pictures (server wouldn't let me upload anything anyway and I'm drowsy besides).

For now…

RIP Benny C.

I am truly sorry for the loss of your friend. I hope that the funeral gives your friends memory the justice it deserves. I will talk to you when you get back.
