a week and a half of craziness

so in the last week and a half my life has kind of picked up a lot. i applied for a large number of jobs at cabela's and had two interviews in different departments. i seemed to have got the job in footwear selling shoes. i figure eh what the hell why not. so i went to that place after never being there before to going there 4 times in 3 days (1 was with my brother and godfather. anyways i drove to the upper peninsula this weekend for a family vacation with family and extended family. i drove home to pick up my mom then we followed my brother 6 hours away. if you have ever heard of such places as Cederville, Sault STE. Marie or even Hessel which was where we stayed i would strongly suggest going there. there are about 9 cabins there and my family and others occupied 7 of those cabins. i used to go there every year on this week from the age of six to 14 when i stopped going due to football. we finally made it back this year and it was exactly how we left it. i never thought about it until just now, but my favorite memory of my father and I occurred maybe 10 feet from where i slept the whole 5 days. we had so much fun with monday being a 16 person euchure tournament. my brother and i set our goals high to get very drunk. i drank about a mini keg of oberon which equates to about 15 beers of oberon. he drank a fifth of captains. i was still coherent while he was not. he ended up feeding the fish with his dinner. we talked and shared stores on the dock although i may not remember much of what was said. it ended with me taking care of him while he threw up all over the side of the dock. he then proceeded to pass out and fall asleep on the dock with his little pug of a dog laying right next to him protecting him. i finally convinced him to go back to the cabin where he slept outside for most of the night with the dog. the next day was somewhat horrible we drove the 30 miles or so north to sault ste. marie to visit the restaurant known as "the antlers" most yoopers will know about that place with lots of dead stuffed animals all over the place. we came back that night and just hung out a little. the next night which was last night we headed to the smallest casino that i have ever seen, my first american casino! drinks were 1.75 for a pint and we stayed for a few hours. then since it was my last night we went to the bar with my cousin his girlfriend rickets and brandy. it was a decent time and we were able to drink some oberon. today my mother and i were leaving hessel, so i was luckily able to go tubing on my uncles boat, my arms are very sore and my pride is a little broken due to my shorts falling off while flying through the air. i was able to stop at mackinac city to eat and get some taffy then headed back home.

that right there kids is the week and a half in review. i came home to a pleasant surprise of free lions tickets for the preseason game against the browns should be afun time since anna has never been to ford field. then the tigers game on monday and the counting crows on friday. i look forward to the week ahead.
