May 22, 2008

First of all, weather.com is stupid. I try to plan the BBQ for the past few days and it keeps saying that there might be rain. I look outside multiple times and it’s the complete opposite, clear skies and sunny.

I guess at least Friday is 100% good weather, though we’ll see how bad people are and if it actually ends up happening.

Speaking about how bad people are. So Miah, Spamps, and I have draft packs from a while ago and should have enough to do a 4 man draft. I ask Miah about them and he tells me which packs he has. I then look and find mine.

I ask Spamps about his packs with the prospect of maybe drafting yesterday. He tells me which ones he has and says they’re “next to him.” That night, I confirm with Miah, Spamps, and Hasan that we will be doing the draft and that Spamps’ usual dinner plans won’t interrupt things because Miah slows down the draft a bit.

Now comes the next day, I get a complete 180% for him. He now tells me that he might have to eat at home… Okay…

He then tells me that he needs to find the packs and basically lied out of laziness that he actually had them. He gives me a BS excuse about “I said they were next to me, in the cabinet, I didn’t actually look for or see them at all.” That’s playing with words, when you say something is next to you, that means you have it basically in your hands and its there. He should’ve just said he didn’t have them, had to look for them, and shouldn’t have agreed to the plans last night.

I try to needle him into finding them or finding out whether he has to eat at home, but I think laziness sets in again for him. This is also with the fact that we can have other plans going on with basketball, which Aaron has been suggesting. Sigh…

Hasan surprisingly calls me early before 2:00. He said the day before not to call him until 4:30 because of his unique sleep schedule. We planned for the BBQ today.

I try to gather people and getting Miah and Spamps together and moving is rough. Miah for some reason isn’t picking up and responding, so Spamps and I have to wait a while and get to his house past 3:30. We spend a long time picking up all the random things for the BBQ.

We then go to Waldbaum’s to meet Hasan and Aaron. Hasan says no one wants to do the BBQ and we call Alon, who’s back. We buy hot dogs, burgers, drinks, chips, and a $12 watermelon. It’s not a bad deal at $6/person since we had 8 people with Tomer and Kenny coming along too. I take money from two people, but end up paying $10. Whatever.

We get to Kings Point Park and have a good BBQ. Eating burgers is good.

We get to DnD parking lot at 8-9:00 after the BBQ. We get a call from Stefan. He speaks to Aaron about going to Arthur’s and Aaron departs for that gathering. The rest of us go to Spamps’ basement to play Wii Smash.

I play it for a lot, but stop after a while and look for something else to do. Miah and I surf 4chan for a long time. Aaron calls at 1:30 saying that things at Arthur’s is ending. I meet with him and we go to Wendy’s for a burger. When we get back, everyone is leaving Spamps’.

We decide to go to Astoria with Hasan, Miah, Aaron, and I. We find out that “Warehouse” stopped serving hookah at the time. We go to another place and the service is horrible. It takes a long time to get an order in. We wait past 5 minutes for our simple hookahs and when we ask about it, it turns out that the waitress forgot our order… At 3:00 when the place is pretty empty.

We end up leaving. I get Aaron to buy me a Molson XXX. I work on that in the parking lot. Miah gets dropped off and the rest of us three smoke a blunt. I get super high and get back by 4:30 and immediately pass out.
