Last night was somewhat of a wild/crazy night for me. It didn't involve police, prostitutes, or a chainsaw so i guess it wasnt THAT crazy- but it certianly was eventful.
It started off like a typical sat night, with our weekly game of phone tag... i was all dressed up with nowhere to go. I was ready to throw in the towel, turn on the tv, and slip into bed until i got a call from Bert inviting me over to his joint. So scott and i went to Bert's house where James, Wildes, Dan from the movie theater and Samantha were already there. It started out nice, we were eating hotdogs and drinkin a little bit but thenreal fire works happened once the fire pit was lit.
GLASS JAW: So we're chillin around the fire- eatin 'mellows and bullshittin when all of a sudden Dan starts writting on the bricks with his wooden stick Then i get into the act and write down "kara" on the bricks and before i know it, without warning BOOM! I get nailed in the face with a beer bottle. Bert threw the bottle and it landed right on my kisser. I immediately checked on my chompers to make sure they were all intact, luckily they were..the front one is alittle lose though. The only thing is i had a bloody/fat lip. Every1 said that they couldnt believe i didn't flip out and to be honest i'm a little surprised i didnt too. I know i probably was out of line with what i wrote but it def.didn't warrant 16 ounces of furry being propelled at my face. Had that thing shattered it could have been really dangerous. I think the reason i didnt flip out is b/c it's Bert. He's not a mean guy, i know he felt bad as soon as it hit me..plus he was drinken and we all know what happens when Bert drinks the kool-aid. So its fine, plus bert has taken quite a bit of abuse in the past so he gets more slack than others. Oh and im a pussy thats why lol.
After the bottle rocket, things returned back to normality for a little while until Dan got a call from Romeo. Romeo is a blast from my past- some1 i never really warmed up to and i have a feeling the only way i would warm up to him is if he was on fire. But Dan invited him to come to Berts house and of course he comes and sits right next to me. I had to get up- i couldnt even sit next to this kid. He's so god damn cocky and he has no reason to be. So i tried to ignore hm and have a good time. People were wrestling bert, throwing things in thefire and doing other pranks until romeo, dan and wildes left.
The Great Debate: So i was a little pissed off for much of the night. Partly cuz my lip was swollen and partly cuz romeo came, and really a host of other things in my personal life. Then things got really fired up when the permanent seatings issue was some how brought up by james. For those of u who dont know- its a long story that goes back a couple of years- or decades ago if u know what happend to rosa parks. But the end result is that i feel/felt i got fucked over by a few of my friends. It was one of the most upsetting nites i've ever had and its one of those things where u forgive but never forget.
But anyway i really didnt want to get in to it...well i shouldnt say that- i would never have brought it up..in the past its been mentioned and im like "yeah ok whatever lets not get into it" but if u dig and dig eventually ur gonna find a root..and james hit the root of an old problem and i had no qualms tellin him exactly where i stood on that issue. we had a long exchange and things got pretty heated and perhaps down right uncomfortable at times...like when i was screaming "fuck u" at 3:30 am. But i am passionate about the subject. there are very few things that i feel are worth flippin out about and this was one of them. I stand behind everything i said a couple of years ago and i stand by what i said last nite. So i said what i felt i needed to say, and so did he- he didnt change my opinion and sadly i dont think i changed his- so thats it. We shook hands and settled it like adults.
Believe it or not- that wasnt the only action of the nite. James was obviously effected by our debate and he called Bert a piece of shit...and Bert lost it. He flipped out throwing a chair and eventually throwing the chair in the pool. But by the end of the night everything was smoothed over and it was an interesting nite to say the least.
Ground Zero: I cant help but feel the need to write a little something about 9/11 since it just past. I still get upset when i think of the shit that went down 4 years ago. THe patrioism and the the love for the police and firefighters have worn away for a lot of people but i still have an enormous amount of respect for the country and the people the fight to protect us. I hope nothing like ground zero ever happens again although i have my doubts..i just hope we are better prepared. I feel this country has rebounded off of this disaster pretty well and i feel we will rebound from Huricane Katrina. My thoughts and prayers go out to all that were effected by both tragedies.
In a personal matter- My uncle is going for his cancer treatment today and i'm very concerned. I know he'll be ok- im very optimistic he'll makea full recovery but i know its a long hard battle and thats whats upsetting.
