Outside looking in

Thursday night and Friday


Last night was a blast. You should have went. Hopefully the next one is as successful and entertaining. I'll be able to get to know people better if the same people keep going. We played human bingo where we had to socialize and mingle with people to see if they fit what was on our card. We had to ask questions and if they fit the question then they signed their name. I signed a lot of bingo cards, but didn't really ask anyone to sign mine.

Met some interesting people though, def want to do it again.

We were called the fun table. Mostly because we were all crammed in and already knew each other.

Dressed to impress. Dressed to the nines. Is that a saying?

So, this is kind of how the night went. We got there paid our ten dollars and got a name tag and a survey to fill out. Once we filled out the survey we were directed to the bar and given two tickets in exchange for the survey. There were lots of good appetizers laid out on these tables. There were two different types of locally made beer and that was a wheate one and an ale one. I tried both. Both were really good. My sister then gave me her second ticket to use so I turned that in for my third beer. Then I tried to buy another one, but they told me my money was no good there. So, basically after the ten dollars everything was free, they just wanted to make sure people turned in the survey and they didn't want every one taking advantage of the free beer. Well I pretty much did, I offered to pay though. I went back for my 5th and 6th beer. Saweet. Jared spilled 3/4ths of my first one all over the table so I was due at least one free beer I think.

I talked to the owner of Giovannas, the place where this thing was held at for like a half an hour. He is a really nice guy. Knows what he's doing. Everything just seemed to fall into place for him. I know a lot of hard work was involved though. Jared and I might eventually do one of his cooking classes. The sushi one. Can't wait. Def have to go back and eat there though, hopefully with a date because it is a really nice restaurant with fine cuisine and ambiance. Any takers? On me of course.

Praying for another easy albeit boring day tomorrow.

Cavs game was horrible. Big Ben broke his leg. Lebron failed to get an assist for the first time in his career.

Should I get wings tonight or go bowling. Or both? Ended up doing none of those. Went to bed early. However, I did go to a fundraiser thingy in Harpersfield. It was really good for 8 dollars I got some delicious shrimp and two pieces of chicken, a roll, apple sauce, jello with whip cream and some tea. I was still hungry but it was good. Then I went to Grand River Cellars, the people who gave the free beer and wine at the Young Professionals. Thing to support them. See I got their back. I wanted to try their other beer, but didn't really get a chance to. My sister just got one of their wines. I will go back though. Doing that was really good advertisement for them. Then I went home relaxed for a little bit and went to bed early.



My favorite player was traded from the Browns. Kellen Winslow.
What is making me still be a Browns fan after all these years and all these heartbreaks. What is it about them that I actually like anyways? I have no idea. They haven't been a well-run team in my entire life. I don't know anything about the Kardiac Kids, I mean as far as watching them play, of course I can rattle off second hand knowledge stuff, but that era ended in 1984 and if you minus a few days I was born in 83, December 29th 1982. So, yea I wasn't around for the Kardiac kids or even about Bernie Kosar who I love, but was too young to really watch him play in the beginning. He was qb from like 85-96, so yea I was getting into football at this time, but it wasn't until the tail end of that time, that I really understand the game and knew anything about the players. You can say your a fan of something at ten years old but what do you really know at that point? You just know who your family follows. You don't know why. Why is anyone a Browns fan? They remember the glory days that's why. Early on when we were really dominate and then the Jim Brown Era. What have you done for me lately? Is what I'm asking.

So, then they moved the team and that really sucked. I was so excited when they came back, but for what? They have been dismal, they are pathetic, they have absolutely no leadership or direction at any level of the team, from the owner, president, gm, coach, players. I just don't know why I'm still a fan.

Jim Brown is the best running back ever, props to Walter Payton.
I learned that Jim Brown was possibly the best Lacrosse player as well.

Okay sorry about that rant, not even sure how it got started.
