I'm not going to lie, my life has always been pretty good. I was never beat up, or abused, or one of those nerdy Star Wars fan..i was always able to lead my own life with the occasional battle over privacy and freedom...and although those issues still remain a constant struggle, I've never been truly miserable. I may have complained a lot ...but i realize i have been fortunate. With that being said, this past weekend makes my entire life look sad and a little empty.
At this point in time i cant remember ever being happier. Why you ask? Well its really simple...I got to spend the weekend with people i care about it. And for me, life doesn't get much better than that. St Patrick's Day was a busy busy day, i barely had time to breathe. First of all, let me hit u all up with some corporate FYI- if you're not Irish apparently its not cool to dress up in green- I didn't get the memo but i guess every1 else did. People at Canon looked at me like i was an albino at a Lauren Hill concert. It was fricken wierddd...but anywho, I wanted to actually do something this year as opposed to the previous 23 years where i stayed home and wasted away (im not talking about getting wasted either)- i did nothing!
So i was eager to make things happen...on my lunch break i was making more calls than R. Kelly's PR director. I was trying to set things up and "spread the word." Money and being 21 is always an issue now a days so we found an ideal solution...Bert's house! Odds are the Mirendas were having a party anyway so what's a few more guests, right ? lol- j/k. So, once the plans were in motion i went back to work. When 5 o clock hit i was out the door and in traffic...and they closed the southern state so it was a stand still for a while (the last thing i needed). I finally got through it and then picked up a pizza for the family and then came home. I inhaled the food and got ready before heading out to my cousins house in farmingville- its way out there i dont even know if its on the map. My cousin and her husband have finally successfully adopted a baby so we went down to see her. It's a perfect situation and the baby is adorable and - its just oodles of happiness lol. I can ramble on about that for hours but im sure no1 really cares other than me. So while this is all well and good it was just the starter to my weekend.
I finally camehome made a quick call to Jimmy Jam Boye (just to make sure he was coming out) and then it was off to the Notorious B-E-R-T's. Here is where the real goodness comes into play. Pretty much all of my hometown homies were present- which doesn't happen often. The only person that was missing was Anthony and he was missed....but still i think everyone had a good time. Wildes and james had their pants off (and it was freezing out), beer pong games were going and the fire pit was blazin in the background. Now insert Nikki. You all know who she is by now- she's the only girl who i've gushed over since i've known her, reference- knife to the heart. So she comes in with her friends and i immediately feel my heart thump like a bass drum from a Toto cover band (the metaphors get gayer and gayer im sorry). So i try and make small talk without blurting out something stupid which is pretty much impossible b/c im as smooth as super crunchy peanut butter. So i was pretty much nervous/excited the whole nite i was with her. I guess i kind of avoided her (although not on purpose) cuz i felt like i was acting weird, and i talked to her friends Raych and Jaime a lot just to make sure they were having fun and cuz i was interested to meet them. I guess i should have spent more time with nikk but i cant undo the past. SO when it was time for her to go i said - goodbye cuz it looked like she was just gonna leave without saying goodbye.. but she came over and asked me to walk her out and hold her hand...Friggen Rico Suave over here says "Why are ur hands cold??" lol- i think i mite be part retarded.. i really do. But i just cant think straight around her i guess. Anyway- she called me later that nite and we had a nice talk till my phone died and it looked like i hung up on her... i know what ur thinking- this sounds like a nightmare- how is it the best weekend?? I cant explain it but it just was.
Yesterday was good too. I got the best email of my life and then later that night played some cards and just sat around a table and told old stories and jokes. It was a blast, then i came home to talk to Nikki online. I'm telling u- this was one of those weekends where it all came together like a puzzle. I still got some self conscience issues of my own to work out but 1 step at a time. I just want to relish it a little longer.
