Weekend recap: 4/19 - 4/22

Ehhh.

I have to say, this weekend was disappointing to some degree.

It had it’s ups and downs of any normal weekend, but not as many ups as usual.

At certain points, I didn’t get to see the people I really wanted to see. 

Pretty much out of my hands.

Other times, I saw people I didn’t really want to see.

Again, out of my hands.

Thursday night was spent at the Wayside once again.

Drew and Annie came up, which always makes for a great time.

After walking around a few times on the dance floor, I noticed that the level of crowdedness wasn’t as bad as normal.

That changed real quick…in about 20 minutes it was packed as ever.

Of course, I lost track of my friends and I was out wandering by myself.

As I walked around on the dance floor, people pushed and shoved like they usually do.

But this one guy pushed me pretty hard, so I pushed him back.

Then his boy started waving his finger in my face, putting his forehead right against mine, talking some nonsense.

I told him, in a very non-polite way, that he should probably stop doing that if he values his well-being.

He stopped.

I held my ground and didn’t back down. Basically, he didn’t want any.

After that little incident I was pretty rilled up. That kid definitely got my blood boiling.

Since I couldn’t find anyone, I decided to walk home and blow off some steam because I was pissed.

I couldn’t believe it because that was the first time anyone has really tried to start shit with me like that.

Honestly, I’m not a hardass at all. But please believe that if someone tries to start something with me, I will not back down. Period.

Besides, I’m a lover, not a fighter.

Anyway, Friday was spent enjoying the beautiful weather.

Tossin the ol’ pigskin around, havin a few beers with all the fellas, you know.

At night, we hit the Blackstone.

I didn’t even drink, and let me tell you something: being at the bar sober, without a drink in your hand, is zero per cent fun.

Saturday was the best.

JD and I walked over to the high school to watch the club baseball game at noon.

I got burnt pretty bad  because I was wearing my Pistons jersey (Yes, it’s true. Sometimes even I burn).

After that we headed to the CMU spring football scrimmage.

Actually, let me rephrase that.

We headed to the CMU spring football scrimmage tailgate.

I was surprised how many people actually tailgated. The weather was definitely the main factor in that.

I also got a lot more sun in those few hours of tailgating. Not good because now, I look like a tomato.

Note to self: sun + beer = getting drunk.

After stopping into the game for a minute, we headed to the store and got some stuff to grill up.

Eventually we made it out to some parties later that evening.

Stash Bash was pretty insane.

Picture a couple hundred college kids wearing fake mustaches, partying in a huge alley/parking lot with amazing weather. Too much fun!

And naturally, as expected, the cops showed up about 12:30 a.m., ruining everyone’s fun.

The rest of the night was a bust and Jeff and I ended up at Taco Bell. Always a great ending to the night.

Today (Sunday) was definitely a lazy one, but still productive because I got a lot of homework done.

I also got dinner plans canceled on me (what else is new?). More to come on that in a later entry…

All-in-all, another successful weekend in the books.

One more week of classes, one more weekend of fun in the sun…
