It was a really full and bodaciously awesome weekend! First off, Jeremy got to partake in his Landmark Forum all day Friday, Saturday and Sunday and as a result he's completely transformed! He seems to be so much happier and at peace than he was before. He even had a most meaningful talk with his dad as a result of taking part. I've already done my Forum, and it was awesome!! That was the most awesome part of the weekend, but by no means the only great thing that went down.
I started off Friday nite while Jer was getting all transformed, I met up with our friend Dennis at the Saloon and we hung out there for a while, having a couple drinks there and watching the guys; harmless watching, mind you. After a couple of Citroen and grapefruit juices there (Dennis is an upscale drinker, I reckon), we headed over to the 90's for some better music. So we did a little bit of dancing, (not much), but got our groove on nonetheless and had a few more drinks.
It was a really fun nite all around, and I didn't get too wasted, so that's always good. HOWEVER.......Saturday was a completely different issue. My plan for Saturday was to go hang out with Jared and Larry and drink beers all day, and man did we ever!!! I arrived over to their house at about 12:15 and we headed out to Herkimer's in Midtown for lunch. At lunch, I had a couple eggs and some bacon and of course we got the day off to a solidly inebriated good start with a couple of Bloody Mary's. At least Larry and I did. Jared stuck with the usual...his dark lager. As u could probably cut me and I'd have wine pouring out instead of blood, such is the deal with Jared and his beer. We are lush brothers in the spirit!
After lunch, we got back to the boys's house and Larry decided to take a nap (lightweight!) and so J and I were left to our own devices. We ended up playing Rock Band for like 5 hours!!! It was sooooo much fun. I was on bass and he was on lead guitar. Our band is called Mister Mistress! Is that not the coolest name you ever heard for a rock band? I think I'm gonna sell it. LOL. It may bring to mind that 80's group Mister Mister, though. Oh, well. I still think it's hot.
So I made a brief departure from my bass guitar to pursue playing the drums for the group. Bad mistake; awful. I looked like a shoulda been wearing a helmet and a body brace as horrible as I was at that. I gave that up almost immediately. So, back to the bass guitar and of course, more beer. I was drinking Honeyweiss, which is my favorite now. Jared had his dark something or other. We went through a nice volume of beer that day. Larry eventually joined us for a couple of sets, but we ended up wrapping that up and moving on the Scene It, the Xbox 360 version which is bad-ass! Jared ended up crushing us both, twice. It's still a fun game, though.
Anyway, after that I made a lame attempt to go home with my last beer (from the 12 pack I'd brought over with me), and the guys were not having that! I was all "we do it all the time in Texas" and they was all "Better safe than sorry. Gimme that beer!" Reluctantly I gave it up and drove very carefully home. Was a really awesome day, but it didn't stop there. I got home just as Jeremy was returning from his 2nd forum day and man was he energized! I ended up sitting and talking to him for a couple hours, thereby having a couple glasses of wine in the meantime. We watched SNL, talked some more, and I finally passed out in a inebriated stupor.
Although the way I felt on Sunday morning was not one of the worst ways I've felt, neither was it one of the best. I think the weekend was finally catching up to me, and I...was....pooped. I got up, laid back down, and then got up again. I ended up making me a turkey/ham sandwich and watching the Nicole Kidman movie "Margot at the Wedding", which was pretty good; ok, well, it was just OK. And then I watched some tennis in between cat naps. Finally, as I was supposed to meet the boys, Larry, Jared, and Jer at TGIF's for Jeremy's graduate night at the Forum, I got up and put some clothes on and went to get my truck washed.
After washing the truck, I met the guys and we had dinner (I had shrimp key west) and then headed to our night at Jeremy's Forum graduation. It was real cool to see the people all happy and transformed. I get so inspired all over again when I see the miracle that this event is to people and their lives. I have no doubt that my relationship with Jeremy will be unlike it ever has before.
Anyway, it's almost time for my seminar and I gotta go pick up the guest I invited, Ocoy! Til tomorrow.
