Epic Night

May 14, 2011
Miah and I take the 7:50 train, despite Bolanos and Brandon take the later one. I have nothing to do anyway, so might as well go out into the city. Aaron called me earlier and asked what the deal with the night is. He seemed like he was trying to get at something so I ask him. He points out how rude I am and how hard I am trying to “get to the point.” It turns out he’s down for dinner before we go out, so there you go, I could tell it.
Miah and I get into the city and we call Aaron, who is unresponsive because he’s napping. Kenka usually takes a while to get a table and I put our name down, but waiting around, our table gets called multiple times. I awkwardly notice that girl that I dated that Atron stalked our date walk by and go to the store above Kenka. I don’t say Hi.
Miah goes to grab some Jim Beam so we can pregame after dinner. Atron finally shows up and we have to wait again. He mentions that someone should grab a bag of sugar and use it for the cotton candy machine. I question why someone would want cotton candy in the first place. I then say to lure kids and “Hey, I’m just a guy who likes some kids. What’s wrong with that?!” Aaron asks where that came from and I shout in response that I just came up with it. Aaron then says why I went on the attack, he was simply asking a question. Classic Darwin.
We have dinner and some big beer. We continue talking about kids and I say I like kids. However, for a narcissistic reason that I would mentor kids and they would look up to my awesome views on life. Aaron says I should take a narcissism test. Ela shows up, grabs a beer, and we’re off. We don’t end up pregaming and go immediately to Brandon’s birthday thing up on 13th.
Atron starts pretending to walk like me, ahead of everyone and with my posture. However, he does it all wrong and leans back like like I’m a drunk or something. We get to the birthday and see everyone. Bolanos, Scott, Brandon, David Simon, Erica, some of Brandon’s friends. Evan and Sam show up too. Ela and I check out the cute hostess that is taking care of our area.
Miah jokes that Aaron and Scott are chummy, despite Aaron should apparently hate Scott.
Bolanos and I confirm plans about going to Binghamton for Bar Crawl. Aaron mentions the time that Murray wore his FBI shirt and I wore mine to the gym, like two douchebags. Miah asks how many girls I picked up at Bar Crawl wearing that shirt. I responded that I lost more teeth that day than I picked up girls. Now that’s a man.
Bolanos and I find this guy at the bar that has a huge wrestling belt. He calls himself Mike the Nightmare Manischewitz or something like that. His friend comes over and announces for the guy with some play on Jewish words.
Aaron mentions that I say “Again” too much. I say it when someone wasn’t even stated in the first place and with no preface, I just shoot out “Again.” I explain that my mind is probably ahead of everything and I’m probably so many steps ahead thinking that I say it.
On a walk, it comes up that, “The Foo Fighters aren’t a great band, but I like a lot of their songs.” They laugh that it makes no sense. I say that it’s just bullshit people are stuck in their decade and have ideas like, “Yo, rock bands suck now. The Foo Fighters are the fucking best band.” They respond asking who “these people” are. I do not know them specifically, I sure as hell know they are out there and hold these freaking views.
There’s these two guys that are cuddling and kissing at points. I joke that some people would be offended by that. I ask Bolanos if he would be offended by that. With Ela there, he has to get defensive and explain that he is not a homophobe and has no issue with it. I did nice job pushing him into a corner with that.
When we leave to go to the next bar, I’m talking about something and Ela keeps playing the “Huh?” game. I keep repeating myself and I finally give up and shout, “Fine!! Better conversation then!” A guy walking up breaks out laughing from hearing that. I’m such a funny guy. I really should get an audience for my amazingness.
We walk by Zaragoza and we get reminded of the time that Aaron got real sloshed. It’s surprising that Zaragoza was open until 4AM, but he was knocking on their window and sloppily speaking Spanish, “Dos tacos! Por favor!!” No dice. We then had to walk over to get pizza and we knew waiting on line that we probably were not getting pizza. We couldn’t even breathe by the time it was up to us and couldn’t get out what we were trying to say, “No pizza, or just out of pizza?” Aaron mentions that in that moment, it was probably the funniest situation of his life. I agree. Despite it being somewhat funny now, we really got such a kick out of it when we were drunk laughing out asses off. We were howling laughing, with our hands on our stomachs, slouched over, and trying to walk.
We get to Otto’s Shrunken Head, which is pretty cool. A punk tiki themed bar. They have a $3 PBR pint, that is sweet. We eventually grab a cab to the take 3:19. Miah gets lamb cart. Bolanos gets pizza. I’m starving, but I gotta get back into shape. Losing the weight, staying healthy, so I turn down getting drunk food. Man, that sucks.
On the train, we run into Brandon’s cousin and Ian, his friend. Brandon was supposed to take the train with us, but we’re not sure what he ended up doing.
