I slept until 10:00AM. I had a late night before, but it's no excuse to waste a beautifully warm November day. I didn't leave the house at all during the day. I rested up, surfed eBay, played COD and Batman. Melissa came over in the afternoon and we just rested. We re-invented the term couch potato, and turned it into bed potato (no, nothing inappropriate, just a good queen size bed to serve as a more lazy couch).
Being the 5th of November, we went out for pizza, and watched V for Vendetta, a liberal fan fest of a film that has meaning and metaphors wrapped around every inch of screenplay. After the pizza, me and her went to Chad's where Sam, Tanya, and Mike were waiting. We picked up juice and played Logo, then me and Chad slipped out and went to Mcdonalds, and then Cottonwood Express. As usual, my shortcut back turned into a dark maze in suburbia neighborhoods. Luckily, we made it back and wrapped up the eve.
On a different note, immensely happy for my good friend and mentor Steve Moerdyk, who proposed to his girlfriend Marie, and allowed video to be uploaded to facebook for me to watch it. I appreciate it Steve, I'm happy for the new chapter that awaits you in your life. The years of us hanging out, filming videos, eating lunches, phrasing "get yo ______ off that bus", Star Wars, downtown prom runs, working out, Mario kart, Halo nights, Outlet mall trips, teepeeing houses, school plays, Seriously bloopers, landscaping houses, flashing you in your swimming pool, playing "I have Never" with my ex, hotel sprees, comparing, and so much more will never go away. Ironically, when I first saw the film "V for Vendetta", I saw it with Steve. Coincidence? I think not. Steve has hours on end to fill new memories, ideas, and moments with Marie. In a country where divorce, deceit, lust, and dishonor are as common as Starbucks, I hope he never gives up. Thank you for your inspiration. You may not have known it, but you've changed a lot about me.
- Prom, 2010. Going with two women we would later realize were wrong for us. Steve & I thinking the same thought... "what have we gotten ourselves into". -
