This just landed in my E-Mail. Fucking outstanding. Had to place this in my blog.

Fast Paced

I wasn't going to post the last two days because they were those cookie cutter days you will never remember. Same morning. Same work day. Same evening. Same bedtime. Same shit that you've done every other work day and nothing different happens at all. Same feeling clients. Same feeling lunch. Same walks. Same traffic. Same people. It just drug on.

Today was another of those days. Robots could do this job the last few days.

Amazing Weekend

Sunday
Woke up about an hour ago. People are sleeping in the two bedrooms here. I need to get off my ass and fix Beth's computers. When we were younger we would play a bunch of multiplayer games across this network. Three computers here ranging from beefed up 486 (runs like a high end P3) to a low range P4 that was top of it's game a few years ago. Not too bad. Just needs a lot of cleaning and software upgrades. Probably plenty of spyware and adware on some of these the way they run. Maybe I can get War Rock on these and see if any of the guys want to play hah.

Saturday
Everyone dispersed by about noon. All that was left at Beth's house was her Alisha and I. We got ready and went down to Old Towne bellevue and wandered around. All sorts of shit was going on. We thought it was going to rain though. Clouds looked like they were going to open up at any time. There was a carnival there that was tiny but fun once it opened. We heard music and went to where it was coming from and the 3 of us formed a little triangle and danced for a while. Music was somewhat shitty but it was fun anyway.

We ducked into a local backwoods looking shitty bar after the band was done. Turned out to be a table of hot people towards the back. We found a close table and started drinking. Wasn't long before our tables were pulled together.

David, Sarah, Jessie and Bryan are the names of the people at that table. After drinking quite a bit we came back to Beth's house to drink more. We usually drink in Iowa since the last call is at 2am rather than 1am over here.

Friday
Directly after work Beth picked me up and had Alisha and Bill in the back seat. I asked where we were going and she just smiled at me. I noticed everyone else was looking pretty good so I guessed dinner somewhere again. She pulled up to my house and predicitably said I needed to go inside and change.

I got in the car and she drove off. It was about 6:30pm. She pulled in to some nice steakhouse I forget the name of now. Most people were in suit and tie but we looked good enough to get in I guess. I didn't have a tie on but I did look dressed up. Bill paid for all of our dinners. I guess one of his clients scored big for him and he had thousands to blow. After that we hit the casinos in Council Bluffs. We played $400 a piece across the 4 casinos we went to.

After that we went back to this little ass club in one of the casinos. Spin? Stir? Swish? I don't remember the name of it. All I remember is all the hot people dancing on the tiny stage behind the bar. We left with one more person than we came with. And that's the end of what I'm typing about Friday night!
