Wow.... I have had some great times these past 5 days. Who would have thought that joining SG was gonna affect my life this much
A big thanks to all my new friends, especially JoLeigh and TheDom. Here is to the good times to keep on coming, you can check out the pics now too. I just uploaded them onto my page

First night was the Castle, a goth club, where I met some of the other SG people here in Tampa. Everyone seemed really cool, and I had a lot of fun. Definatly got drunk enough to start flailing in my sad attempt of a dance . Met JoLeigh that night too, who turns out to be a bigger camera whore than me. I got off close to 200 pictures that night, and only a few of them dont have either me or her in there somewhere. We need to do that again Tampa peeps.

Than on my day off (Tues) I got bored. Like insanely bored... my usual "surf the web" "watch tv" or "play video games" solutions to that problem were doing nothing for me. Ive been bored before, we all have, but this was bordom to the point of my brain hurting cause of it. I just needed something to do to make this day off of work worth it. So I told Joleigh my plite, and she suggested I go to Sarasota where her local bar was having a special DJ night. That was definatly food for thought, but I didnt reply back to her. Instead I headed off to lakeland to get my good buddy Dom, who is always there for me when Im bored and need a drinking buddy . I tell him about the idea to head to Sarasota to party, and he is all for it. So I call my friend Charity, who I havent hung out with in forever, and she has the day off too, so she decides to come along. So we do our little 2 hour drive to Sarasota, Dom falls asleep, and Charity plays tetris on her phone, and I listen to Stephen Lynch while I drive. I have a cousin in Sarasota, who I havent seen in a while, and is usually pretty cool, so I give him a call to see if he can get us to the bar JoLeigh is at, so we dont have to call her and can surprise her. He says np, and tells us to meet him at this local pizza/pool hall place. After missing the exit, and getting lost for a little bit, I finally arrive at our destination and meet my cousin. Turns out he has no idea how to get to this place, and everyone he asks in the pool hall has no idea either... but they have all heard of it... go figure. So after drinking a beer, we head to a gas station so Dom and Charity could get some Cigs. While there we finally get directions to Superior St. which is where the bar is located. We head out, but get a little lost again, and finally just 411 the place and ask them how to get there. Finally at midnight, after about 3 hours of driving and searching, we get there. Place is packed, so we decided to get our drink on before we go through the crowd to find JoLeigh. We see a flash go off in the corner and sure enough, the girl with the camera was her. So we surprise her, and she's all happy, which is always fun. We drink and talk, and finally I get enough drinks in my I begin my flailing routin that I call dancing again and we all have fun. We leave the place, tired and drunk at like 2. 2:30am, and head across the street to a placed called munchies to grab something to eat. It's tastey, and we talk more, Dom falls asleep in the corner, and my brain is barely working with the liquor, but the girls seem to enjoy themselves. Then we drive JoLeigh home, and its now like 3:30am, and I get the joy of driving everyone back home while sleepy and buzzed. Needless to say, there were a couple of close calls where Charity had to slap me to make sure I didnt pass out at the wheel. Between the two of us, we kept eachother awake, and made it back to lakeland. We dropped Dom off, and Charity invited me to crash on her floor so I didnt have to drive back to Tampa at 5am. I accept and its all good, till 9am when her brothers friends and her kid decided they are gonna wake up early and start partying. The two of us slept on and off till noon. Than we finally dragged ourselves out of bed, got checkers (good hang over food) and than laid around for 4 hours not really sleeping but not really awake, just kind of catching up and playing with her new kitten. It was a good day for that kind of thing too, cause it looked like it was gonna rain, but never did. So finally I decide to leave, cause I needed a shower and to brush my teeth, and it decides then to rain while Im driving, and as soon as I make it home, its sunny out again... stupid florida showers! All and all thats where I stand. Usually I dont post this long of a blog, but I had to recap 3 days worth of stuff. So WooHoo for me!!
