Bachelor parties

Well I learned a valuable lesson......bachelor parties were only meant to last one night. We partied so hard that by Sunday, we had no juice left. Our plan to go to the casino fizzled when everyone went to bed at 10. That being said, it was a pretty fun weekend. Just what I needed....a weekend not to think about buying a house, getting married, work, and everything else that's been weighing on me lately.


The weekend started with the OSU baseball game Friday night. I had called Jeanne to see if I could get 8 tickets earlier in the week and she had said that wouldn't be a problem. The day before the game, I called her back and said I actually needed 10 tickets. Somehow she misinterpreted what I said, and I ended up with 10 MORE tickets. So I had 18 tickets for the game. If I had known ahead of time, i would've invited more people to the game. It worked out well though, because we had the whole row in front of us to ourselves.

Saturday we went paintballing. I was a little nervous because my last paintballing experience resulted in me being shot 3 seconds after the game started. Sure enough, the first game we played, i lasted about one minute. However, after that i settled into a groove.....except for when i shot the guy on my own team. We had two random guys join our game at one point. They were guys that had their own guns and all the gear. They looked like they were on some sort of team, since they wore the exact same outfit. Anyways, the guy on our team came running around a corner I was hiding behind and i just lit him up. Three shots right in the kill zone. He was not happy. I actually thought it was pretty funny, since I didn't want him playing with us anyways.

After paintball, we all headed to the beach. There were about 16 people there, and we just watched sports, played video games and ate crappy food and drank all weekend. Good times. Grant ended up getting so drunk that he slept on the stairway landing instead of a bed. We ended up getting a few more people hooked on Guitar Hero too.....that game has to be the ultimate example of word of mouth advertising. i have never seen an ad for it, or even seen it displayed at a store. Yet you play it once and you're hooked.

So it was a great weekend. Made it real hard to go back to work yesterday. I'd like to give a special shout out to Grant for putting the whole thing together. Thank you brother, you're the best. Now, if I can just get through the next month and a half.......
