Fourth of July's usually mean that you're gonna have BBQ's with the fam. That's what we did before I left to go do anything. Around 3:30, I left to go bike to Quail Lake Park to meet the peoples up for some basketball and hanging out. This was the first time I experimented with a sweater on a hot sunny day to prevent getting any darker. Surprisingly, I didn't sweat as much as I thought from wearing a sweater. When I arrived to the park, the first person I noticed was Dennis. I thought he wasn't going to come because no one was answering his house phone. We waited there for a little while till Jeff, Jon, and Matt showed up. After we chilled there for close to an hour, Anthony, Amanda, and Steven showed up. We started to play a game of 21 for a bit. We finally got the games going when Ray, Rudy, Ed, Robert, and Michael showed up. We played basketball all the way till around 7:30. After I biked home, I hopped in the shower and got picked up by my sister to go to Mav's place.
We ate when we got there. Oh my gosh dude, the BBQ beef that they had was simply amazing. After we stuffed ourselves with food, we went outside to have our little photo shoot with fireworks. It was Giane, Julie, Mav, Alex, Kevin, and I that were in this little shoot. Out of all of the fireworks that neighborhood used, the best one I thought was used was the windmill one where the thing was spinning. It was pretty sweet. After the photo shoot, I ate a little more and we just chilled out for about an hour before we headed out to Kevin's to chill yet again and watch a movie. That's where we basically concluded the night. For some reason though, I was feeling REALLY sleepy, REALLY early. I was like passing out on them at Kevin's while we just sitting there. I thought I really didn't do much that day, but I guess today really exhausted me out.
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.
Nothing really happened at all till later that night. Before that, all my ass did was bike everywhere, from Target to Border's to 24 Hour Fitness. I thought I was gonna head to Fort Carson's gym that night, but yahh, that plan for me tanked. So I chilled at the house watching movies feeling tired as hell. Eventually though, around 9:30, I was convinced to get my ass up and go out.
We all went to the Mendoza's house to, I guess, "practice". Hah, that turned out well. After 10 minutes of practicing for them, we ended up watching the big screen. After watching Saw 4 streamed from my phone, we ended up just watching a whole bunch of crap from YouTube, streamed again from my phone. The highlight of the night was when we watched "2 girls and 1 finger", "2 kids in a sandbox" and the infamous "2 girls and 1 cup". Haha.
