Yahh, so the Monday after the Independence Day Weekend started really early for me, but late for some lol. I woke up around 10 that morning and called Jon to confirm our plans for that day, which was racquetball at Fort Carson at noon. Around 11:30 to a quarter till, I started biking up to his house to carpool with him along with Darlene and Keanan. When we arrived there, pretty much all of us were rusty for some odd reason. We were like missing the "gimme shots" and what not. Eventually though, we all shook off the rust and began playing some intense games. The most intense I had that day was playing one on one against Keanan in back to back games. There were several times during the game where the score stayed the same because the possession of the ball kept switching back and forth. After three hours of hardcore racquetball, we went out to Taco Bell to grab some lunch, special thanks to Mrs. Pugh. From there, we went back to Jon's house to hang out for a while. That basically concluded that night.
The next day was basically dull and boring to me all the way till I got outta the gym. I didn't leave my house till about 4-5 that afternoon to bike to the gym. I got outta there around 6:30 to meet everyone up at Baskin Robbin's for the usual Dollar Scoop. When I got there, I didn't notice the news till I actually got in line. There was no more Dollar Scoop. Starting that day, they changed to $1.25 Scoop. How freakin' lame is that !? Yahh, it really got me heated. I mean, first they freakin' raised the price of the Tuesday special at Popeye's gradually from $.89 to a whopping $1.19. But now they had to change the price for freakin' Dollar Scoop ?!? *Sigh* Well thank goodness I'm heading out of this atrocity come next month. From there, I can probably find a new place to treat myself. Anyways, after eating some ice cream, people wanted to hang out, but I was sorta in a cookie cause I had my bike with me. Thanks to Jeff though, I was able to carpool with him along with my bike, Nick, Jason, and Keanan to go to Fortuna to meet up with Amanda, Kailaini, and Briana. I didn't really eat anything there cause I was trying to save some money, but the others did. Once we finished up eating, we basically dropped my bike off at home then Steven, Nick, Keanan, and I all went to the Antiques Billiard Museum to play some pool. And eventually, Robert, Ed, and Ray came up there as well.
I didn't really get up to do anything till like noon. Around 1 or 2, I finally got my ass up to go to the Old Town Bike Shop in downtown on Tejon to go fix up the gear cable on my bike. It was pretty sweet to look at the different types of bike that they had. I learned a lot from looking around at that shop. Basically to have a quality bike, you're gonna need to drop some big bucks on it. To sum everything up about bikes, titanium framed bikes>steel alloy bikes. Anyways, the repair guy did a great job repairing my bike. The service there was great and everything; I recommend going there if anything happens to your bike. Well after I got home, I ate a tuna sandwich and I packed an extra "triple stacked" tuna sandwich for dinner on the go. So after, I left to go bike to the gym and get a quick weights workout.
I wanted to go on base on my bike to go meet up with Jon and Jeff, but as I was approaching the B Street Gate, the sign basically concluded that they would not let me in without a safety reflector vest and a bicycle helmet. So what I ended up doing was biking all the way back home to go grab my car. I thought I was going to be late meeting up with them like usual. Fortunately though, they were the ones late because Jeff left his ID lol. We ended up going to the Waller Gym since the other one we usually go to closed earlier. The racquetball court there was slightly different compared to the other gym's. The ceiling was higher and the walls seemed closer. Like the first game we had seemed really frustrating because everything for me was going too long in my serves. After a while though, I started to kill it. After that day of racquetball, I started to really like this game a lot. I mean, I can finally say that this is much easier compared to tennis now lol.
When I got home, Julie and I went back to Fort Carson to watch some firework near the park formally known as Iron Horse Park. The fireworks were pretty nice from the view that we had. After those 20 or so minutes of fireworks, we drove to Giane's to meet the others up. We missed a huge event though at Tinseltown. So something happened I guess with the movie Hancock, so they started to give away free tickets. Maybe I should've went and got some lol. Well after sitting around trying to figure out what to eat, Giane, Mav, and I went to King Soopers to go pick up some candies and pizzas and fruit punch while Julie, Kevin, Alex, Steve, and Art stayed at Giane's. When we got back, we watched an episode or two of In Living Color while the food was cooking. When the pizza got done, I ended up eating about six or seven slices haha. Well we finished the movie watch the movie 23 with Jim Carrey.
