17 July 2007
So, its official, I'm now 24.
Props Of The Week: Laura Herndon; for planning and organizing an AWESOME birthday weekend.
Special thanks to Colin and Branson who were in on the sneak attack and the celebration.
So, it seems that I can't go to Atlanta without losing something. Last year it was my camera and coat, this year its one of my crocs (and Branson's debit card). But don't worry, that didn't stop us from having fun...
Friday night was a delicious home cooked meal. The fun started Saturday morning with a trip to Andretti Indor Karting. Yes, go-karts. FAST ones. We had to wear full helmets with visors and a head sock and everything. They even gave us race suits, which we soon realized no one else was wearing. Oh well, we looked BA in our race suits. These go-karts get up to 38mph. On my best lap, I averaged 25mph, averaged, including the hairpin turns and everything, so that gives you an idea of the speed. They also had video games and a bar. Turns out I'm pretty dang good at the arcade basketball game.
(but not quite this good)
While I'm playing Time Crisis 3 some kid comes up and punches me in the arm. WFT MATE? Whoops, turns out it was Branson sneaking up on me. I had no Idea he was gonna show up! Excellent surprise.
So after a nice lunner (yes, thats lunch and dinner) of hot dogs and hamburgers we head off to pick up Colin and go to the Braves game. I had beer, peanuts, coke, and yes, cotton candy. By the time the rain came in the 7th inning (game tied 4 to 4) my stomach was in a state of confusion. We decided to leave. Went back to Colin's to change and get the red bull before going out for a good night on the town. Colin's roomate has a cat, AND a popcorn machine, like the ones at the movie. So, while we were out, some guys got into a fight and one guy got his face bloodied pretty well, somehow the blood managed to splatter on the back of Colin's white Polo. Nice, but you should have seen the other guy.
Man, a great weekend.
Now if my fantasy NASCAR could get turned around.
Word out of the Hendrick camp this week is that Budweiser will not follow Dale Jr. to HMS next season. The latest rumors have PepsiCo with either Mtn Dew or rotating sponsors on the hood of Junior's car. Previous rumors included Sony, Visa, and Kellogs (currently under contract w/ HMS on the 5 car.) Still no word on whether he'll keep the 8 or not.
BREAKING NEWS: Michael Vick indicted on charges of interstate dog fighting.
Someone needs to find Mike Vick's momma. Look at her two sons, Michael and Marcus. Name me one good thing they've done in the past five years......... I'm still waiting..... what you couldn't think of anything. When you've got two sons who are this stupid and this poorly behaved, you have to wonder what the parents are like. I mean even Allen Iverson doesn't fight dogs. I bet Tank Johnson and Pacman Jones don't even fight dogs. Don't forget bout Micheal spreading STDs and giving the crowd the finger, or Marcus's issues at VT before getting kicked off the team. Great Parenting at work, fantastic.
