3 Days of Pure....

People, what's going on? I wanna say after a long 2+ months, Tommy and I are back on speaking terms. It was a very quiet 2 months without having him talk to me. This all happened back on New Years Eve. I was a raging bitch and I hurt his and Mary D's feelings. Mary still won't speak to me, but that is her decision and I respect that. I met Missy and Tommy down at the Streamline last Monday night at 130am to watch Space Shuttle Endeavour launch into space. That's when Tommy and I put the past behind us and are back to our usual selves now. But, now to the past three days. Let me just start off with saying, WOO HOO it's Spring Break 2008 here in Daytona Beach. I have never been to college, and have no desire for it or wallet for it for that matter. It all started this past Friday. I really didn't intend on going to the bar after I got off work. But, a buddy of mine, hopped on the trolley on my way home and said he was going to the bar for "1" drink. I figured, "what the hell, 1 drink would be great". All I can say, was that the 1 drink turned into probably 10 or 12. I had blast that night at the Streamline. I was on a roll for sure. It was one of those nights that I had way too much fun. I luckily didn't wake up with a hangover on Saturday. I went to work and I'll be damned if I didn't go to the bar again. I did find out that the owner of the Streamline passed away on March 12th. That is really a sad thing. But, I am very thankful for the memories he allowed us to have over the last 4 years. Saturday night at the bar was really fun as well, since it was Latese's birthday. She looked damn good all dressed in black with her white pearls on. Well, I stumbled home from the bar at some point. I woke up Sunday morning and had plans to hook up with Missy and hang out with him at the Bermuda House at their tiki bar. I met up with him around noon. That's when he passed the news on that one of our friends, Kat, was in a wreck last week. She had apparently gotten off work that morning and was on her way home. She was in a Miata convertible. She apparently didn't see that someone had hit a horse and she slammed into it. She flipped her car about 4 times and of course totalled it. She was almost killed. She broke her neck, a few vertebrae, and got really banged up. She has been in the hospital since it happened. She is now in the intensive care unit and in the halo setup. I do wish her the best of luck and a speedy recovery. Missy and I then went over to the Bermuda house around 1215pm only to find that the bar hadn't opened up yet. So, we decided to stroll up the beach to the Beach Bucket. I took my shirt off and decided I was gonna work on my sunburn. Yes I mean sunburn. I have to burn first before I tan. Tommy called to find out where we were and he met us there. We sat there for about 3 hours sipping on Beer and watching all the activity on the beach. Whether it was the cars that continuously kept getting stuck. Or the hot boys that were playing Frisbee and volleyball. I was seriously trying not to get obliterated while drinking, but what hell, it's SPRING BREAK. LOL. We left the beach bucket and went to Missy and Tommy's house. Well, the woman in me came out yesterday. I was in Missy's bedroom and Jack came in and said that a black snake had crawled up on the back porch and turned around and hauled ass off the back porch. You all know how much I am terrified of snakes. Well, I sat in the doorway to the back porch for about 15 mins. My heart was about to beat it's way out of my chest. Well, John wanted me to go in his bedroom and get something. Well, I looked where he told me and I couldn't find it. So, I ventured back out on the back porch and told him I couldn't find it. He moaned and bitched because I couldn't find it and he went inside. Well, the bitch he can be he was, he came back on the back porch and said "here it is", and I turned around to see, and he threw a rubber snake at me. I thought I was going to really have a heart attack then. I screamed and hollered while everyone else was laughing their asses off at me. I almost shit my pants. I knew I was roasted after 3 hrs in the sun, and countless beer I was toasted by then. LOL. I'll be damned if we didn't go back to the Bermuda House and hung out there with a few guys that had come down from NY on their spring break. After a couple of beer and a shot of tequila and another hour of sun, we went down to the Streamline. An acquaintance of ours was celebrating his 35th anniversary with his lover. However, I was not in the drinking mood anymore. I only had 2 beer and I was over it. I saw the boys on their way home and then I practically almost crawled home. SUN AND ALCOHOL DO NOT MIX. LOL. I crawled up on the couch and dozed for a few hours. I woke up around 8pm and surfed the net for an hour and decided to snooze again and woke up around 2am. I surfed the net and played on Pogo.com for a bit. I crashed again and woke up around 1030am this morning when Missy called to confirm that he and I were going to go four wheeling on the beach today. Someone that checked in the hotel had gone on their time share tour. They were given a voucher for an hour rental on a four wheeler. I figured that it would be culture for me to hop on a four wheeler and ride up and down the beach. Well, come to find out Missy has been here 26 years and has never ridden the four wheelers on the beach. Well, Missy didn't want to have (his words) "a wasted hardon shoved in my back while riding a four wheeler. Which I didn't want him to be shoved up my ass for an hour. So we paid $8 to upgrade to the "little red car", which was a red golf cart that looked like an old classic hot rod (so hot it went only 10mph. We had a blast watching the boys, the hags, and everyone else enjoying their time at the beach. After our hour was up, you don't have to guess what we did. LOL. We met a friend of Missy's, along with Tex, at the Grand Seas and we of course had a beer. I told Missy I was not getting Shitfaced today. After spending the last 3 days shitfaced out of my mind, I was going to relax today and not drink myself to death today. Well, Tommy met up with us and then we went to the Bermuda House for a round or two. Then John Rozier came by and visited us for a round. Well, we left there and then went back to Missy and Tommy's house and sat there with John R, Tex, Jack, and us 3 and had a couple more beer. Tommy went and took a quick power nap. Missy and I went to the back porch and chilled out. Missy told me Tommy would be napping for 45 mins and I'll be damned if she wasn't correct. About 45 mins later out strolls Tommy raring to go down to Beach Street for the block party they were having for St. Patricks Day. I refused to go down, but he was kind enough to take me home. I came home and napped for a few hours. Before I go tonite, I do wanna mention that Meeko and Jerry are doing well. I was actually very surprised last week when I witnessed Jerry beat the living daylights out of Meeko. They were all over this house like you wouldn't believe. It was comical as all get out. Okay, it's 1am and I have been doing this blog entry for over 2 hours now. Have a great night and Peace out!

1st Month Passes...

Psst, how's it going People? All is great here. I never imagined how happy I would be living alone. But, alot of things have happened in the last month. Just to name a few, moving in my own apartment, leaving the Hilton, starting a more enjoyable job, riding the bus again (something I actually enjoy doing as well), acquiring a new family member to the house (Meeko), and there's been a few other things that have all contributed to my happiness. For those who know me well enough, I am one of those people when they get their mind set on doing something, that I will be anal about making sure there's a few plans in place just in case something fails. I am adding some more pictures that I have taken through the week of the Bike Week Festivities. I can say that this is one of the more enjoyable Bike Weeks that I have had. I don't know why, but I have always said, that life is what you make it. So I am banking on that's why I am much happier these days. Speaking of being happy, I got my first power bill today. It was a whopping $30. I was thrilled to death. Missy came by today and brought his MP3 player we ordered off eBay. It came from Hong Kong. It took just over 2 weeks for him to get it. But, its a neat little gadget for $20 shipped. Its a large peanut shaped player that has a 1gig USB storage drive built in it. We hooked the laptop up to the projector (since he is blind as a bat and can't see much LOL). We started rummaging through my music collection, which is actually his as well here on the computer. We managed to put 112 songs on it in about 15 mins. I gotta tell ya, having another cat in the house has been uplifting. I always thought Jerry was a lazy cat by choice. But, now that Meeko has gotten settled, he and Jerry are just like best of friends. They play around with each other and chase each other. Jerry likes to attack him from underneath the "cattertainment" center. I am very happy with that craigslist purchase. Meeko still sleeps at the foot of the bed. Sometimes he has snuggled up with a pillow. I just admire that he is a vocal kitty. You can talk to him and he talk right back to him. We had some nasty understorms come through this afternoon and evening. There was possibly a tornado down in Ponce Inlet. Well, I am off Sunday and Monday. I have one more day of dealing with the bikers. It will be nice to see them me on and bring the spring breakers in. I am hoping that with the economy in such a pitiful state, that more local colleges come to town. They don't seem as destructive as the out of towners that visit. Well, I am off to bed. Have a great weekend. Peace out!

Addition to the Family....

Whadup People? I'm sitting here watching the science channel and learning about the story behind how the internet was brought to light. It's amazing that 10 years ago, I was just a baby when it came to surfing the world wide web. I was just realizing that anything that I could think of that I could search for on the net. Where would this world be without the internet and Google?It's actually an amazing story. But, I guess I've always been a geek in a sense. Wel as you know I had my housewarming party this past Friday. It was a complete success. Most everyone stopped by and I had a blast. But, before the party was happening, I came across something on Craigslist that I had to have. And it was even delivered to me. All for free. He's a beautiful Seal Point Siamese. His name is Meeko. He's the prettiest thing with blue eyes I have seen. I'm hoping that Meeko will be a little bit more loving than Jerry. Jerry, of course, is still the baby of the house. But, I must say, he was acquainted with Meeko in no time. He literally would scowl at him. Meeko did all the growling and hissing. Meeko sleeps at the foot of the bed with me. Jerry, still props himself up anywhere he can. He does like laying on top of that entertainment center I got. They both have full house privileges, except they know they are not allowed on my kitchen counters. By Saturday, they were doing just fine. I woke up and found that the house wasn't trashed at all, and I had it picked up in less than 15 mins. I love having a dishwasher. My life is so much easier having one. Missy and Tex swung by around noon on Saturday. We had a few beer here at the house and then headed over to the Streamline for a few more. As you can see from the pictures, Daytona is full of bikers in town. The view from Streamline is one of the best in town, because you can see both North and South on A1A. We have until next Sunday and then they will slowly depart town. I live one block from Main Street and I have heard the rumble of bikes for over a week now. I haven't even lost any sleep over it. Jeff met up with us at the Streamline and we all came back to my house. Jeff ran Tex home and Missy and I went back over to Jeff's for dinner. Well, Rob never got around to making dinner, so Jeff and I ran Missy home. With the bikers in town, there was no way to get around Main Street other than crossing the bridge and hitting one of the other bridges that come to the beachside. Well, wouldn't you know it, as Jeff was coming over the bridge, a motorcycle cop clocked him doing 55mph in a 40mph zone. Jeff, was all fine with that, until the cop gave him a ticket for not wearing his seatbelt. Jeff, however, was wearing his seatbelt and only unbuckled it after stopping to get his wallet out. We dropped Missy off and made it back to my house without any further delays. I slept pretty good Saturday night and woke up Sunday morning. I swept and mopped the floors. Even cleaned up the bedroom, which is something I hadn't done since moving in. I did go to the Streamline for a couple of drinks. I got home and was in bed rather early. I didn't leave the house today. Well, I am going to end this for now, enjoy the pictures. Have a good night. Peace out!.
