I may have some good news. It’s not 100% confirmed, and won’t be til the 20th, but it’s looking pretty darn good. Let’s just say I’m one step closer to my dream.
More details coming soon.
So, the Crawl for Cancer was a great success. I drank a lot of beer, got a t-shirt, had fun, and helped support a great cause. I hope to participate in the next one. Here’s a brief recap of what happened.
At the first bar we went to, the royal blue team was done with their four pitchers before we even got ours, so needless to say, we had some catching up to do. We continued to drink quickly at each bar. On our fourth bar we ran into the green team, which we had not seen at any of the other bars, and they said they were finished. That our fourth bar was their fifth. I don’t know if that was true, but the green team were good people. I enjoyed drinking with them. Buncha drunks. The fifth bar was probably the best just because it was cool, I finally got to sit a bit, and the after-party downstairs was rockin’. I danced a bit, yes, I danced. I must have been drunk.
Anyway, it was a great time, and if you want to see pictures (lots more just added) check them out on Flickr
Tomorrow I’m participating in the Crawl for Cancer. For those of you who don’t know what this is, you pay an amount of money ($45) to drink in different bars (5). All the proceeds are donated to find a cure for cancer. This is something I can really get behind. You won’t see me running 5k. That’s something I can’t do, but drinking beer is. So if you talk to me tomorrow evening, chances are I’ll be drunk. The crawl starts at 1 and will last probably 4 or 5 hours.
Update: Here are some pics from my phone from the event. A full post and more pictures coming soon.
I went to 7-11 today. I felt like a Slurpee. The Slurpee was replaced by a Squishee machine, an obvious tie-in to The Simpsons movie that is coming out. As I sit there pouring my Blue Vanilla Slurpee Squishee, I begin to think. Why aren’t there more blue colored foods? Now, I know the color blue is rare in nature, hell, even blueberries are purple. I remember Pepsi Blue, that god awful concoction. Do they not know what blue should taste like? Pink usually tastes like bubble gum, brown like cola or caramel, yellow or white tastes like lemon or lemon-lime. I think we should designate a flavor to blue and stick with that so we can have more blue foods. And in case you were wondering, this Blue Vanilla Squishee doesn’t taste blue or vanilla. It tastes like a pina colada.
I was driving to the grocery store to pick up some cereal when I noticed the bike lanes on the right side of the road. I’ve noticed these for a long time, they weren’t new to me, but what I did notice was that there were arrows pointing on them. Normally, I would think who needs arrows in the lanes to tell them they are in the right lane? This is America, drive on the right. Oh, but I was wrong. In the bike lanes you ride on the left. How odd. Why do we ride on the left but drive on the right? It makes more sense to ride on the right, that way you’re further away from the traffic when you’re going with traffic, and closer to it when going against traffic (so you can see if a car is coming at you where as if you are closer to traffic and riding with it, you can’t). It makes no sense to me.
