A recap of this weekend will suffice as it is pretty indicative of my life right now.
Life is good. It would be pretty difficult to top everything that is going on right now. :)
Side note: I am currently watching The Walking Dead on Netflix and I love anything and everything zombie related.
Back to the main story...This weekend was something.
Friday night consisted of another wonderful date with a wonderful woman at Clyde's in Chinatown. Then we went on a nice constitutional walk. Back track. 1st date was supposed to be just tea, but ended up being epic at the Taste of DC festival. Thanks for the blessing, God. 2nd date was sandwiches and a perfect carrot cake dessert on the steps of the portrait gallery.
SO! It was Hoco weekend and for anyone who went to CUA, you know that no weekend is bigger for alumni. Tailgating on Saturday was good bro time and catch up time. Casey, Joe, Rob, Matt A, and Matt S + Wegman's sausages and burgers + Leah, Luffy, Kate, Katie W, and Jillian + a couple brews + an epic football score at the expense of my knee = a great start.
The party really got started when we met up with the ladies and Jonathan. Seeing Kara, Jules, and Coll is always a time full of laughter and rap and pop culture references. Don't get me wrong. There were a million people that I saw Saturday at the game, but there was a reason that it took us about an hour to walk from Mil North to the Duf (no exaggeration).
I went home and had dinner with my family at Uno's because my birthday is next week and my brother works on weekends for the most part. Family time is always a good retreat. Practiced my Jerk at Lowe's as my brother picked up some tools btw.
Then back to CUA events. Times + Club Swerve. Club Swerve does still exist, even if there are stupid video games in the way. I picked up Leah and Jen and then we got it started. Good thing the DJ played Live Your Life by T.I. Wouldn't have been as baller without some T.I. So many friendly faces - Kelli Mac, Bonner, Greg, Mark and Dan, Emma, Andrew Fin, Mikey C, and so on. Real people, real love, real ish.
Of course, Nick and Craig, their ladies, Tom and Kyle, and I tore it up on the dance flo yo.
Today (Sunday) was out of the ordinary and a perfect Sunday/way to start off the week. Jackie and I went to Butler's Orchard and had a very memorable day. We had BBQ for lunch, avoided bees that wanted the pumpkin pie, went down a huge slide, went on a hay ride, and picked a great pumpkin - Harold.
Thank you Mark Koury for the idea.
I know this may be slightly incoherent in terms of the organization, but gotta teach tomorrow.
Song of the moment (there are many): Strange Clouds - B.o.B
