Day 1 – Friday 2nd May – Mums Birthday, Pauls going away party
May 6th, 2008 by Green GriffinFriday was “a day just like any other day, no work, and no play. I knew that paradise was some other place and I’ll get there, another way…”
OK, so that was just a stupid reason to put some Bad Religion lyrics in the blog. Get over it.
Anyway, Friday was my Mums birthday, so, after doing the lovely son things in the morning I took off to Uni as I had to go to work. I stayed there for a few hours then went and did a very important tax presentation. This went really well, so to celebrate, I went back to work. A few hours later the wine was flowing at work, and all was well in the world. I hung around for a few drinks before remembering I had a real party to get to that night, so could do much more drinking there.
I got home and opened a beer. The next steps involved showering and listening to music while I waited for 830 to come so I could go and get drunk. Like clockwork (hahahahahahha!!!!) 830 rolled around and as did I do Duncans.
I really can’t talk up drinking with my hockey friends enough. Sure there are times I pass it up because of other engagements, but when I do drink with them it is always really good times. This night was no exception.
I will admit that I don’t recall a lot of the happenings. This was proven more when I saw some photos of the night that I had no recollection of at all. I am quite the photo slut though, I can’t be expected to remember every shot I was in.
After several many drinks there I somehow got a ride to town, where we all quickly proceeded to Bar 101, the best new bar in Hamilton.
Things go blank again here. I do however remember carrying Geoff into the bar as he was far to drunk to be let in alone. I also know I did buy some drinks there – though I have not seen a charge for these yet, so, I don’t know what happened there.
A few hours and a kebab later I was back at home. Much worse for wear, but in a very happy state.
I do so love alcohol.
The best bit was that I knew this was just the start of an epic weekend.
