Heads up, this is a little bit of a long winded venting session. So this is how my birthday pans out .....
I work Friday, go home, take a nap, wake up at midnight, perfect timing for the start of my birthday. Get dressed and head down to the local bar down the road from my house where a couple of my buddies are waiting. Have a couple drinks, and all but 1 of them leave after half an hour. My friends girlfriend shows up and buys me some shots. An old co worker shows up. Bump into 2 ex girlfriends, which was a bit of a bummer, but no biggie. My buddy goes to have a smoke and disappears for an hour, figure he was encouraged by my egging on of him to go talk to a certain girl that i dont see anymore either. Come to find out he had been in the bathroom throwing up the entire time. He staggers up to me and asks me to drive him home, lol not quite the way I figured the night would work out, but took the role reversal in stride and left. He throws up 3 times on the way home, and I make my way back to the bar, where another ex is there to greet me. Blow her off and that was it for the nights events.
Wake up the next morning still undecided as far as what I want to do. Ruled out Atlantic City because only 2 people wanted to go. So I dwindled down the options to ....
A. comedy club in NYC, where Dave Attell and 2 chappelle show writers were gonna be, followed by a bar 4 doors down from the comedy club.
B. Dave and busters which is a bar/restaurant/video game place, with regular video games as well as the ones where you win dumb ass prizes.
C. some random local bar.
In the middle of deciding my buddy calls me and offers me 2 free tickets to see the Nets vs. Celtics, Boston had made a bunch of trades for some really good guys and are now a very good team, so needless to say, this was something I very much wanted to see. Never thought I would have so much difficulty getting someone to accept a free ticket to a good game like this ..... I even got turned down by my dad who had already had plans for the night, so I gave up and told my buddy to give them to someone else and thank you for the sentiment.
Of the 3 options, I was looking forward to the comedy club the most. I start texting all my friends, 95% of them flake, but to their defense, I didnt give anyone much notice. Everything kinda fell through and I kinda scrapped the idea of going out all together and was unhappily content with spending the night at home watching movies. Couple of SGNJ peeps text me to let me know that they were at a bar. I decide to go, on the way there, my friend calls me and asks me to come over since her and her bf bought me a present. I ask for a rain check and tell them I am on my way to the bar, they guilt trip the ever loving shit out of me, and I reluctantly say I would stop by and hang out. The whole time I am at the bar with the SG crew, my friend is texting me asking me if I have left yet, I was having fun, but getting annoyed by my friends persistence, so I leave. I get to their house and they are all curled up on the couch looking half asleep. They give me my present, a candle, and say, "we are tired and going to bed". So Im just like fuck it, Im going home, on my ride, my friend calls me and is like, "Im not letting you mope around on your birthday" So I meet her at the bar, where she is hanging all over some dude. I figure I will just roll with the punches and strike up conversation with some chick. Mindless conversation, but better then sitting there twiddling my thumbs. I leave there and decide to call the SG peeps to see if they are still out, the contents of the conversation .... if you can call it that arent important, but I get hung up on twice. I go home, smoked a bowl and passed out.
There wasnt anything obscenely horrific about the night, but it seemed much more promising leading up to it. Sprinkle in some other more personal things that I wont get into, and it was a less then desirable birthday outcome. Ill just start planning for next year now I guess.
P.S. Thank you to everyone who lefts me birthday wishes!
