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.
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.
So everything basically stayed dull and boring till about 4 o'clock when me and Jeff headed to Anthony's and Amanda's BBQ at their new house near Sierra. Keanan, Matt, Steven, Dennis, John Briggs, Jon Pugh, Jeff, Ray, Ed, Robert were all there. Coming outta the basement was Kailaini and Briana. I was supposed to be the Crown Plaza for Tia's Debut around five, but I decided to stay for a little bit longer there. As a matter of fact, about two hours longer I stayed there lol. After chillin' at the house for about an hour, we all headed to a nearby park to play some 3-on-3 basketball. The game were intense for me especially since I was playing in dress shoes, a wife beater, and dress pants. Right after we finished, I cooled down and headed to the Crown Plaza.
Even though I arrived there two hours late, I didn't miss a thing lol. About ten minutes after I arrived, the things finally started. They did the usual cotillion. But the most memorable thing about this dance compared to other debut's, someone, specifically Mav, walked off the dance floor after four of their dancers were left confused during the dance. CLASSIC. The best part though about the whole debut, in my opinion, was the food that they were serving. The roast beef was medium rare (the way I like it), the rice and breadsticks were pretty decent. Best of all, the mashed potatoes were the pretty much the best I've ever tasted.
We finished the night going to someone's house and chillin' there with the peoples and the stripper pole in the basement. We ended up arriving home around four in the morning because we went to Denny's to satisfy our hunger.
