Weddings.

First of all this is now my 140th post. that makes me happy.

the wedding season has come to an end. i had three to go to and this one was by far the biggest, nicest one. it was located in belleaire michigan and it was my cousin who got married.

it is a great start when you wake up at 630am and are hyper as all hell and then have to drive for four hours. it was fun nonetheless. upon our arrival we were greeted by family and went to our giant two room suite to just hangout and chill for a while. i got to watch some football and even took a little nap. after that rickets and i had to get our tuxedos on and begin to usher everyone in. he properly mixed some admiral with gatorade and we downed it pretty quickly. the ceremony was nice and the bride looked amazing.afterwards we could buy beer downstairs the reception did not start until 530. we asked the bride and groom if we could come on the shuttle bus for photos. we did and just sat in the back rickets and i just talking and drinking. we ended up stopping at short's brewery. upon leaving the bus my cousin goes wait you guys were here the entire time? indeed we were. then we asked a few people within the brewery if they knew where the fresh prince was staying since it was belleaire after a while. the consignment shop lady was the only one who got it. i bought two ringpops and a sucker.

we get back from the shuttle and the bride wants to go change into another gown. rix and i take a shortcut and when the elevator door opens with the bridal party in it, i had my bare ass hanging out mooning everyone.

we get to the reception and take our seats and the whole shebang begins. a 9 piece blues band and amazing food. drinks start pouring and everything starts happening.

there were cameras on all the tables so of course rickets and i had a photo shoot of my ass.

i tried to dance and then my tuxedo pants broke. they would not hold up with safety pins so i had to go put jeans on.
after the band drums up some good music it is time for me to disappear and return as batman. the band begun playing batman and in turn i came running out and took the dance floor. i got to dance with the bride and make everyone laugh. as soon as the song ended i ran back to the room.

i came back with my jeans on and tuxedo top. danced some more and drank lots more.

once it ended we walked back to the room and saw room service metal tops for the food. i decided it was a good idea to use it as a frisbee causing all kinds of noise. in a nutshell it was a lot of fun.

that is pretty much all i remember from the wedding saturday. alls i know is that the view was gorgeous and i had lots of fun.

but as the wedding season seems to come to a close i realize that these weddings are the first in many more to come. there isnt a few week period where someone doesn't get engaged. it does make me feel jealous, but also optimistic and able to pick and choose parts of these weddings to include in mine some day.

september

september has come and gone. this month seemed like it only started yesterday. it is weird to see this entire month just flash by. ive been busy for sure but it just is odd to me. ive started to become content with my life. ive cut back the amount of days that i drink alcohol and it seems to make my stomach feel a lot better. i love this time of year but am super excited for the impending winter for my most peaceful thing ever, snowboarding. i simply cannot wait for this year and reall hope to go as often as i can.

ive also started to be a little happier. things keep going haywire with certain people and while it may bother me immensly i am able to carry on despite it. that makes me feel good because months ago that wouldnt happen. while i dont find it totally healthy to maintain this up and down id rather have some up than none at all.

i know this is bad, but lately i've though about life. i don't feel like i drink too much but friends as well as my body tell me different. my stomach as of late has been terrible. from what i gathered it is an ulcer. everyone says get it checked out.

but to be completely honest, i'm scared. i never get myself checked out and if you know me well then you realize im constantly in pain whether it is my knee my back or my throat. my dad died at such a young age and he knew about it. granted he lived a life like most would want, not thinking about it and knowing full well he'd never see us grow up. granted his was probably different than mine, but i am still scared as all hell. if i die young i dont want to know it is happening. i love my father's choices for being with us always and doing everything he could, but i dont know if that could or is me. frankly i am just scared.

A Summer to Remember

My usual trip to Hessel, Michigan signals the end of summer. this summer was the best by far, i have done so many things that i had never done before and have done things i love doing.

Highlights:
1. NCAA Final Four for lacrosse.
it was a one of a kind experience shared with some close friends i have known for years. it was something i would have loved to do sooner and cant wait to do more of.
2. The Callis Wedding
it had been coming for years, and it finally happened. it was an amazing wedding with my family and friends.
3. My Birthday
AS per usual i was drunk off my ass and got to share it with some pretty great people. i was in bed by midnight and the company behind it was just simply amazing.
4. the 2nd Annual Beer Olympics
wore a kilt, drank lots of beer and made a fool of myself.
5. Chicago Trip 2010
Beer and subway. enough said
6. Ypsilanti Beer Festival
my first time being around here for this fabulous event in which i tried many different beers and showed some friends what it is like to drink all day.
7. Bud Bash 2010
this was my second appearance at the bud bash, it was a lot more conservative but still a lot of fun.
8. Raft off 2010
this was my first time attending and it turned out to be such a great day, i love the water i love the sun, i love beer.
9. and finally, Hessel
this was one of my favorite experiences so far. it was my first time spending 24/7 with my niece and nephew and brother and sister in law and mom in quite long time. i loved seeing my niece just run around the entire time and only taking naps when i tell her to. i loved her waking me up every day and ethan and i's sword fights. lots of drinks and lots of bonding was had.

so what did this summer hold for me? lots of friends lots of drinking and most of all a summer to remember.

this trip is always something that can make my whole life change. ive came here since i was six that was 21 yrs ago but with a few year lay off in high school. this place is everyhing for me. my tattoo stems from a fish that my father and i caught. as ive grown older and my fellow hotelmates,have gotten married and had kids it still feels so amazing to be here. every night i try to go to the end of the dock and just take everything in. it's so great to see second generation cousins and my neice and nephew; ive never had my heart melt as it does when lilah says nooooo buttterrrr. im never around i get that. but when i have this week i never want to be without ej and my lilah. i wanna fall asleep as her big spoon ive gotten her to sleep a few days. i love it. i miss being around them, but uncle butter has to do what he has to do
