I think I skipped blogging about last weekend because well nothing terribly exciting happened. This weekend, the one I was supposed to go to Mich, was much more eventful. I decided to spend the weekend visiting an old friend in Philly, we all should know who that is so I won't say any names. On Friday she gave me a pretty great tour around the historic parts of the city, and the whole time I could only think about how Sweeney would not only appreciate that more than me but he would actually know who all those old important people were. It's always an interesting time visiting an old course, most of the time is spent trying to figure out what kind of dynamic you're going to have. And by that I usually mean answering a few important questions.
The main question you ask yourselves ( not verbally of course, more mentally) is Are we going to hook up? This question usually dictates the "nature" of the rest of the visit. Either you're going to spend it as a couple type, or as a friend type. Usually the couple type interaction serves to let other people know that either of you is off limits, and more than likely will lead to an argument or disagreement that stemmed from jealously. Whether its a guy buying her a drink, or you talking/dancing with a girl, when you choose the couple type its almost inevitable to have to "talk." With that being said, the friendship isn't really much of a better option, at least not when you visit solo. When you visit someone by yourself and are a friendship type, the host usually goes out of their way to accommodate you. They try to make sure you have a place to stay, that someone will know where you are at all times and etc. That on the surface is not a bad thing, after all you're probably in a place you're not very familiar with. The issue comes into play when drinking happens and then the host wants to go ahead and do what they normally do. If the host as a significant other, you could get lucky and have them be cool like Cassie and Craig. BUT most likely they won't be as cool and the BF will get jealous anyway and want to overexert his presence in front of you. Then he will take the host away and leave you to fend for yourself. Another common occurrence, when the host doesn't have a significant other, is that they spend all their time/attention on you and never really get to be themselves. This just means that they are too worried about leaving you on their own that they forget to have fun themselves. This is the kind of scenario when the host would have gone to a party/club/event, but since you aren't familiar with the people/weren't invited you stay home to watch a movie, ha not exactly the best time.
Moral of the story, we spent the weekend as a couple type, and it was nice. I mean she is one girl who's probably cool enough to have a friend type visit and still be fun, but then of course we wouldn't get to hook up and well where's the fun in that. So back to our weekend. Friday night we went out in Manayunk, it was pretty cool. She was there with all her PT friends so I kinda just chilled and had bottomless drinks. The thing about the couple type is that you really can't talk to any and every girl like I'm used to, so I just chose to limit all convos to her friends, and specifically the ones that had boyfriends as to not get myself in trouble. On Saturday their apartment complex had this really cool all day drinking event by their pool. At one point they even brought out a mechanical bull, but I have to say it was nothing like the 5th quarter bull we all used to marvel at and love. Met more friends on Saturday, including a girl who went to UM and knew Logan. If you guys don't already know my history with Logan and the Waterpolo team of those years then lucky you ha. Turns out the girl only met Logan during their Senior year, so the Stev days were long forgotten by then.
Sunday I came back to Baltimore and had bottomless screwdrivers for brunch. I actually got tired of Orange juice by the end of the day so now I'm taking a week off from it as to save my stomach. Thats a rough summary, I'm getting kinda tired now and don't really feel like going into any more detail ha.
Chin, Mike O lets work on you guys updating more frequently. Thanks.

Either I'm Still Drunk or I'm Hungover - The Girl Whisperer
Well then, I was planning on writing this post earlier with the fresh memories still looming, but then I realized that the room was spinning and I couldn't function properly. So i did the only respectable thing, went back to sleep for like 3 hours and now I feel great. So thus with no further ado I shall commence....
I've been hanging out with work people a lot recently. It's actually pretty cool because everyone is in their twenties so they're all pretty fun to work with. Don't take this the wrong way, and knowing me you shouldn't because I'm not a cocky person, but around the office I've got quite the reputation. I remember my first week everyone was overly excited about me, including my boss, and were all like "You're going to kill it" etc. Even people from other offices were talking about me and this other new kid Lucas. We were on a business trip in Southern Maryland, ran into some chicks from another office and the first thing they say is "Oh you are those two guys we keep hearing about?" Needless to say I initially had no idea what they meant but following my promotion into leadership I learned that pretty much every morning they talk about the new people in the office. To get back on point, this excitement about me carried outside of work as well. I don't really remember but I guess the first time I went out with anyone from the Office, I had a couple of girls talking to me and everyone assumed I was like a girl whisperer or something. Literally anytime someone from the office see's me out, they're like "Stev we hear that you do work" or Stev where are all the girls at, or Stev bring 2 brunettes with you when you come over tonight. Like I said I'm not trying to talk myself up here, it's just the way things are.
At first I was thrown off by this. I mean it's a lot of pressure to be consistent in the office but to be consistent galfing is even tougher. We all know it's a numbers game, I mean it's not called the theory of averages its called the LAW of averages. So naturally if someone see's me out One night of the weekend, the chances of me actually pulling a girl/hooking up with her are pretty slim...luckily last night was one of those occasions. But more importantly I realized that it wasn't necessarily about me getting girls, but everyone assumed I was great at getting the attention of girls, meaning I could just walk up to a group, take over the conversation, and basically get them involved with the people I was hanging out with...that part of it is pretty true.
Taking all this in, I came up with two goals for last night. My first goal was to remember the name of every person I met that night. FAIL. I am notoriously bad at this in general, so of course that is multiplied when I'm drunk. I did manage to kinda remember the girl from the evening though, well at least I know her last name, I'm foggy on the first name. My second goal was to pretty much live up to the expectations that everyone had for me. This goal was a success. Pretty much what I would do is anytime I was with one of the guys from the office I would ask them to pick out a girl they thought was cute, right after they pointed to one I would go up to her and bring her over. This is actually easier than one would seem, all you have to do is either tell them flat out why you're there (works more often then not) or ice break first, and then tell them exactly why you're there. I don't know if people thing I have some kind of "Secret pick-up line" but honestly its just general conversation that does the trick. Oh and for any who don't know this, all the conversation is centered around the person I'm talking to, I never talk about myself unless they ask. This is like a given, but just so everyone knows you should stick to this and you will at least have a cordial conversation even in rejection.
So yeah after a couple hours of doing this and making everyone even happier about me, our group split up and we headed to different bars. As I tend to notice what happens is that when people start drinking earlier in the night, like 7 or 8, they usually don't last to last call. I mean we're all working people who are used to waking up early and going to bed early, so hitting the sack at midnight after a few hours of drinking seems respectable. In any case this is what happened both last night and Friday night. While the group started to dwindle I found myself alone more often then not, as the couples of the group paired off. Now for some reason I wasn't tired yet, so I hung around the bar until last call. I saw this cute girl (well she was cute but what I really saw was her low cut shirt) sitting at the bar with like 4 guys around her. Now these guys were giving her some attention, but not the I'm trying to pick you up attention. This made me think that she was either a relative or a really good friend, and that she was available (meaning no boyfriend in that group). Moral of the story she was available, a sister of one of the guys, and visiting from somewhere in Pennsylvania. At this point the bouncers start to kick everyone out and she invites me back to their place to keep partying. She does take care to let me know that I will NOT be sleeping over, but then says that it's because its not her house and she was spending the night in her Brother's room. Now I have been in that kind of situation before, and usually when the owner of the bed returns he is NOT happy about some guy sleeping in his room, much less with her sister. So I agreed, and they actually lived a couple blocks to where my co-workers lived. fast forward through a game of kings and we were saying "hello" while cooking ramen. I'm guessing that everyone in the house had a sense for us wanting some alone time, because they literally all Ninja's out the house to "smoke" even though only one of them actually smoked. At this point we moved to one of the couches, only separating from each other to make sure the Ramen didn't burn. After awhile of hooking up and things getting a little intense for her (basically the way i hook up with people is to let it build. Start slowly with kissing, then work on full body contact, then I get to using my hands, tongue, and then of course intercourse, almost always in that order). Some girls are REALLY responsive to "hands" as was the case last night. Usually with this type they don't even want to play the whole foreplay game, and after the hands stage they want to go straight for the show. So once we were playing the hand game for awhile, she couldn't take it anymore and we stopped. She explained that she wanted to have sex really bad, but there was no where for us to go as the roommies could come back in at any time. I said I understood and we went back to kissing for awhile before I left. As I walk out of the house I am greeted by the roommates who are surprised to see my leave. I guess they were all prepared to give us as much time as we needed, which made me smile. Def some cool people to give us alone time like that.
Something neat that I learned last night is that you can purchase liquor at 3 am ha. Basically we went into a bar that was closing, and they sold us some six packs/12 packs of beer. I don't know if this is common practice but I thought it was really cool.
So no 49 yet, but dangerously close.

Happy Birthday...You're 19?!!?
First of all I would like to apologize for anyone who consistently reads my blog for not posting in awhile. I've been acting like a bratty girlfriend and doing the whole "well if you're not posting then I won't post" thing. I realize that my lazy roommates need me to lead by example and constantly update in order to inspire them to post more than once a month. With that being said, Here goes.
Second of all, but most importantly, I will not be taking my talents to AA for the first weekend of August. Short Story, I have a work trip that I won't be back from until Friday night. Flights to Mich just for that Saturday are currently 350, as much as I love you guys I'm not spending 350 just on a flight for one night. So that means we just have to push the date back to pretty much any other weekend.
Now that housekeeping is out of the way I can tell you guys a little bit about what I've been up to...and like the marauder map saying I've been "up to no good." Pretty much I've been working hard and playing hard. Thats my new philosophy to life. Work has been going great, I'm now starting to get a hang of this Sales thing and I've been doing pretty well for myself. This past week alone we've had an influx of very attractive girls entering the office. All this means is that well I've been a little bit distracted. I've been playing it slow, just because you can't really say "Hello" in the middle of the office, well I guess you could but it really wouldn't be professional. Two of the girls are interns, which means that they are getting ready to head back to school soon. So my mission, if I choose to accept it, is to get "close" to these interns before they head back to school. If you guys have ever seen me pick up girls outside of the bar, then you know I play the flirt from a distance game. Usually that means a facebook post here and there, a funny text message, or a laugh over a drink. Pretty much I build my Brand until I'm ready to go in for the kill. So specifically there is this one girl Kristen who is just about ready. What I mean by that is that she's just about ready for me to make my real move. A little about her, she is pretty much my typical college type. Big Boobs. Yeah that's about all I cared about for awhile in school. She's a cute girl don't get me wrong, but no matter what she wears all I can focus on is her boobs. We played kick ball the other day, and I purposely stood next to her in the outfield just to watch them bounce. Kinda creepy, yes, but it wouldn't be me if it wasn't creepy. I usually say that I don't like younger girls, and for the most part that's true. I mean I would never date someone who is less mature than me, did that before and it never works out. So in this case hooking up with someone I've decided that I really don't need to follow my standards. Now I've never really been a cradle robber, well until now. Kristen just had her 19th birthday on Thursday. Yes I said 19th birthday. That is a little over 6 months older than my younger brother. That is a girl going into her sophomore year of college. That is someone who is "barely legal." For those who like movie quotes " Thats the thing about high school girls, no matter how old I get, they stay the same age" or something like that, I'm really bad at movie quotes but you get the idea. So my first post back was to inform you guys that I have now officially lowered my standards, or lets be cool and say "Redefined" Of course when the day of infamy arrives I will tell you all about it.
In the mean time I recommend transformers 3, harry potter part 2 (don't expect it to be anywhere near as good as the book) and then captain america for anyone who's looking to see a good movie.
I will talk about this weekend as soon as I do something interesting.

"But You're Stann's Little Brother!"
Needless to say, a very good weekend, anytime you have a half day on Friday and then a day off on Monday how can you complain.
To get to the specifics, Friday I went downtown, Saturday I went to Hooters, Sunday I went to a lake, and Today I get to chill all day by myself...perfect.
Friday night wasn't anything special. I mean it was fun, but nothing special. Jerry had some of his Jersey boys come down to join us and so we went downtown and hung out. The group of people we went with aren't my typical go out on the dance floor and do work group of guys, so the night was more chill, which was good for me because I usually get tired on Friday nights. Only real highlight of the night was the high fives I was getting from random guys for knowing the group of girls dancing on the stage at the bar. They were actually Kerry and her friends but they were ALL cute, really cute. I even got a free drink for introducing this guy to one of them ha. It was cool "knowing" people at the bar again, even got us drink specials all night...I need to do some more networking so I can do that more often.
Saturday was our planned all day drinking and bbq day. So pretty much I showed up at Jerry's house at 11, blasted Stereo Love and made everyone get up and start drinking. And I showed up with a 30 and a fifth...I meant business. Throughout the day I invited various people over and it was an overall success. The title quote comes from a girl who did not go on to become 49, not yet at least. Pretty much she was a girl that Stann had hung out with in the past, and I guess knowing that he was a player she wasn't giving him any. For some reason she decided that I was more worth her time, that and I am pretty good at seducing people. In fact she even took the time to tell me mid hook up "You've already gotten further then he ever did" this is while I was fingering her. I swear I dunno why she would say that, is that supposed to turn me on or something? Sometimes girls are strange creatures indeed....Oh and for those of you who have never done it, hooking up mid-day while at a party is a good time. I just grabbed her, took her to the basement, threw her on the couch and then went to work. She went from being hesitant to, well not holding anything back ha ha. The best part about day hooking up is that you can go right back to the party and keep drinking. As a guy, if people know or guess what you've been doing you are greeted with smiles and high fives, so it was a walk of fame back into the party not our usual college walk of shame. After a couple more hours of drinking we went to our high school to shoot fireworks...yes that was a bad idea. And these were FOR REAL fireworks, like the kind that go into the sky and explode into different colors and what not, pretty sweet. The third to last firework misfired and destroyed the tube we were launching them from, which made for a pretty amazing display on the basketball court ha. Turns out the fireworks still do their whole explosion thing even when not a couple hundred feet in the air. Afterwards we decided to light the last two in a trashcan...also a bad idea...but also made for a very cool display. After our hardwork with the fireworks we decided to head to Hooters, which stays open to 1 am apparently. Half naked servers, $5 margaritas and wings, it was a win for all of us. Potential 49 then left so I called it a night.
Sunday morning I found myself driving to lake Sassafrass. Yup, not only does Maryland actually have lakes, but they have just as ridiculous names as the small ones in Michigan. There was no tubing or wake boarding for me this time, just floating coolers, circle of death with citrus Smirnoff, and PLENTY of beer. Laying out on the water was kinda nice, I see now why all you white friends like doing it so much, very relaxing. Unfortunately every girl there was literally wifed up already, so nothing exciting on that front to report, I did get to look at some nice eye candy though. As far as my sleeping situation for the night, I literally slept on the lake ha. I spent a good three hours in the night sleeping on a floating raft....yes i KNOW that was a bad idea, and the other three hours I slept in my car, which was surprisingly comfortable. If you're going to sleep in a car, don't go for the back seat, instead use the passenger seat fully reclined a very suitable place to sleep for a few hours.
Thats a good summary of the weekend, the average age of everyone I hung out with was 26 so that was a nice change from running into 18 year olds at Ricks ha.
If anyone is interested I'm about to start reading "How to win friends and Influence people" should be interesting and a book our boss wants us to ready "21 irrefutable laws of leadership"
Happy Fourth Everyone!

Afterwards we decided to light the last two in a trashcan...also a bad idea...but also made for a very cool display. After our hardwork with the fireworks we decided to head to Hooters, which stays open to 1 am apparently. Half naked servers, $5 margaritas and wings, it was a win for all of us. Potential 49 then left so I called it a night.
Sunday morning I found myself driving to lake Sassafrass. Yup, not only does Maryland actually have lakes, but they have just as ridiculous names as the small ones in Michigan. There was no tubing or wake boarding for me this time, just floating coolers, circle of death with citrus Smirnoff, and PLENTY of beer. Laying out on the water was kinda nice, I see now why all you white friends like doing it so much, very relaxing. Unfortunately every girl there was literally wifed up already, so nothing exciting on that front to report, I did get to look at some nice eye candy though. As far as my sleeping situation for the night, I literally slept on the lake ha. I spent a good three hours in the night sleeping on a floating raft....yes i KNOW that was a bad idea, and the other three hours I slept in my car, which was surprisingly comfortable. If you're going to sleep in a car, don't go for the back seat, instead use the passenger seat fully reclined a very suitable place to sleep for a few hours.
Thats a good summary of the weekend, the average age of everyone I hung out with was 26 so that was a nice change from running into 18 year olds at Ricks ha.
If anyone is interested I'm about to start reading "How to win friends and Influence people" should be interesting and a book our boss wants us to ready "21 irrefutable laws of leadership"
Happy Fourth Everyone!

Sip until I feel it
Man what a long week, I am literally exhausted for the first time in a long time, but I like it. I'd much rather have this feeling and use Sunday as a real rest day, then sit around most of the time like I had been doing. The only downside to being up and about all the time is that at night time I don't get that motivated to go out and do anything crazy, I mean I still go out but I'm much less likely to run up to a group of girls or people and grab their attention.
So like I said I have a new job now, and I must admit I like everything about it. From the company format, to my co-workers, to the actual going out and doing sales part of it, a new experience and one that will teach me more than I'll ever really be able to put into words.
So Friday while we were doing our post-day wrap up I get a text from a buddy telling me he has box seats for the Orioles (B-more's baseball team) game. I literally left the office and he was waiting at my house to take me downtown. It was pretty fun though, def the most exciting O's game I've been to and a pretty chill environment with all those people who clearly have too much money. After the game him and I went out, and man do our styles differ. I don't usually role with just one guy unless I know that we are a good 2 man show, but this time I figured why not. The night started off good, we killed 3/4's (the time constraint led us not to finish the whole bottle) of a fifth of Cruzan's spiced rum and headed into Fed Hill. Whenever I'm out alone or with one other person I like to play it slow and do my whole eye contact/stare thing and use that as an in. This guy Alex was not like that, he just wanted to throw his cards on the table and mix it up. Had I had some energy, I probably would have been down for that but like I said it had been a long day so I wasn't really feeling it. Plus almost right after we got out, he was texting an old course of his who "surprisingly" showed up at the same bar we were at, moral of the story I was out solo before I knew it. The last hour or so I had some conversation with a couple of girls, danced a little, and decided to call it a night. I wasn't in the mood for "overworking" on any girl in particular. What I mean by that is finding a girl that I'm attracted to, on a moderate level, and then putting in a lot of work just to get her. Pretty much I exhaust more energy for someone that I don't consider a high priority...sounds weird maybe but its the best way I can explain it. So that was how my Friday came to a close.
Saturday I woke up and went to my buddy Jerry's house for his sister's all day birthday bbq drinking celebration. I was still pretty tired at this point but I just hopped right back on that drinking horse and had a nice buzz going at around 2:30. This nice buzz carried me through 6 (I kept drinking to maintain it) when I had to leave to go home and change and get ready for my little bro's grad party. I wasn't planning on staying at this grad party for too long just because I don't like spending my free time with high school kids, plus my sis and Stann weren't able to make it back up from Atlanta to attend. So I pretty much made a two hour appearance, then went back to Jerry's to pregame for the night. After a couple games of 21-cup, Frank Kerry and I headed downtown.
I'll take a second to address a comment chin made on an older post that I didn't get around to responding to. YES I have been hanging out with Kerry a lot. Pretty much one night of every weekend I've been seeing her, which after this weekend I think I'll have to change a little bit, at least not make her my primary plan for the night. But in regards to your question, DS wants to have sex with her, everytime. I've been good with not allowing myself to get in a situation where that would likely happen, but whenever we do get in that situation, well you know what happens. The reason I say I'm going to change how much I see her is well because I honestly feel like I have to dedicate my night to her when we hang out, which is NOT what I want to do. I mean it going without saying that I can't hang out with her and bring a different girl home, but I can't really talk/flirt/get a number without upsetting her. She doesn't seem to mind so much if I dance with other girls, but knowing the way I usually dance I can't say that I'm completely my self. So I guess my little see what kind of friends we could be experiment is coming to a close, and I've deduced that we should maintain the "group" environment when we hang out. I'm talking about 6+ people kind of groups.
So back to Saturday, I was def still tired heading into the night downtown so we all decided to make it a chill night. It's like saying we want to STAY at Charlies and NOT go to Ricks. So we found a bar which isn't known for dancing, and hung out there. Oddly enough, while there, Frank and I learned how to do the wobble, Frank literally found some random black girls and had them teach him ha, pretty entertaining. If you don't know what it is, most of you probably don't, check it out on youtube:
Ha Ha I had to pick a black girl instructional video just for effect. The last funny moment was that as we left the bar, some OLDER black women complimented Frank on his wobble ha ha, hilarious.
So yeah that was my weekend, it felt good to sleep in till 9 this morning ha. But better than that it felt good to not have something planned and just being able to chill in my basement. I even watched the Germany women's world cup game just because, they are pretty sick by the way.
This week will be my first time I get my own territory at work, and I get to go out solo, pretty excited. Um yeah I don't do much during the week, I'm out of my house from 7-7 pretty much everyday so I usually just come home eat, relax for an hour, shower then go to bed ha.
One last side note, Jerry and his gf have officially broken up, at least for awhile, so now I have a fresh new wing man to take in under my wings. So if you read a lot of future blog posts with stories of Jerry you know why, apparently my first task is to teach him how to enjoy dancing. Should be interesting.
Have a fun Sunday everyone.

Challenge Accepted
"Impossibilities are merely things of which we have not learned, or which we do not wish to happen."
So I guess I didn't write about this weekend on Sunday like I usually do because there wasn't much to note. Don't get me wrong, I had a good weekend but nothing too exciting happened. Friday I hung out with my new/old friend Jerry and his gf and sis, the same couple I went to Atlantic City the week before with. Once again they got into a fight, which apparently had built up all week, so we didn't get around to going out or anything. I spent most of my night trying to talk to Jerry and help him out in his decision process. As anyone who has been in a long term relationship knows it is very difficult to decide that what's best is for you two to not be together anymore. Basically the thought of not being with the person (mainly out of habit more than anything else) and the idea of seeing them with anyone else (self explanatory) is enough to keep people together despite the fact that they no longer make each one happy. So yeah that was my friday night, I didn't mind so much because I like doing that kind of stuff, but its just tough to see two people I consider friends spend some much time being miserable.
On Saturday I spent most of the daytime hanging out with Jerry and helping him put stuff together around the house. On Friday we went shopping for a new TV stand and an AMP for his outdoor speakers, so we spent Saturday day drinking and setting that stuff up. Sat night the ladies had a night planned so I decided to mix and match groups of friends. Kerry had invited me to a pool party with some co-workers so I figured it would be a good place to introduce Jerry, I mean girls in bathing suits how can you not win with that combo....well you can not win by there being no girls there ha. Unfortunately Kerry had stuff to do all day so by the time she was ready to head over everyone had already left, but I guess it wasn't a total fail because we got to drink and swim and one of her best looking friends Mel was there to entertain. I mean my last post about Kerry should tell you guys pretty much how I feel about this situation but more or less she is my only other friend that I can consistently count on to hang out with. I kinda feel a little pressure, well some welcomed pressure, from Jerry because he's heard so much about me he expects every time I go out to be filled with women. As inaccurate as that may actually be about me, it motivates me to be my most outgoing self just to entertain him when we're out, plus it's pretty fun for me to see how people react to me. So yeah that was my weekend, we had a nice Father's Day BBQ on Sunday.
As for the title.....I accepted a Marketing/Sales/Consulting job today at Distinctive marketing solutions or something. Pretty much I've deduced that this is EXACTLY what Wheeler left us in Mich to move to Boston for. I'll be doing the exact thing he was doing, kinda interesting in my opinion. As you know with the school year over all my current employment is on hold until at least the summer is over, so I've been looking into finding something to do. I literally searched all around in all different markets and this was one of the only things to respond so I figure, why not?
In the middle of this post I talked to Wheeler! ha he called me back TWICE and we had good conversation. I can now say that I'm pretty excited about working. The fact that Wheeler is doing well in this company motivates me to do well and maybe i'll end up moving around the country like he did. I always said this is the time in our lives when we can afford to do things like this so WHY NOT!
Ah yeah I had some stuff to say, but once again I forgot it all. so I'll end this post and probably post later this week (middle) and let you know everything. I'll end on two notes:
1.) WAY too many beautiful girls working in the same office as me, looking like I'll get myself in trouble.
2.) A job where I can control how far I get....entry level to management....CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!

Everywhere I go, Everywhere I've been....The only thing I see is....
Is Beautiful People
I have to admit, I'm pretty happy with myself right now. No not because I met 49, although the potential was definitely there. No I'm happy because I realize that I can be the life of the party, AND I'm pretty good at it. I spent my Saturday of this weekend in Atlantic City and really its one of the only times I've have a completely fun time without hooking up with anyone (this does not include making out because we when I dance I can't help myself). Perhaps it was the fact that I started drinking at 2 pm and kept drinking till 3 am but really I just put it all out there and it worked out so well. I even made some decent money gambling, so pretty much it was a great weekend.
As far as any stories, there were a few moments that I would like to share. During the daytime I spent most of the time explaining many of the games with the people I went with, them being first time gamblers, and having games explained by me. I've told you all before that I'm a craps man, but i discovered a new 3 card poker game, "let it ride" that is pretty fun as well. The reason I love craps so much is because it's a game that when someone wins, everyone wins, and when someone loses, everyone loses. So the table is always rooting for the dice roller and anytime they hit a good roll everyone gets excited. So as I sipped on free drinks at the craps table the pit boss (guy who makes sure the bets are placed right when you want them and such) and I were just commenting on all the various women that would walk by. He would say something like "See those heels on that one" or "look at that tramp stamp" and I would laugh and reply with some unwitty comment. He was a guy in his late 50s or early 60s but pretty hilarious. During this time I realized that there were just so many good looking people in town this weekend that it HAD to be a good night. Even if I don't take someone home, just being around attractive people, talking to them, interacting with them, dancing with them leads me to have a great time so I was excited.
Fast-forward to the free $30 buffet we all got plus the half off admission into the pool bar and the night's bar activities began. It was my first time actually making it out the Harrah's resort and Casino which is famous for having this indoor pool with bars all around it. During the daytime it's more the hang out spot for hotel guests but at night time it turns into a club bumping house music and attracting all of Atlantic City. Most of the time the pool itself is unoccupied, but the complex is full of about 8 different bar areas and an outside patio plus a dance floor, so you can imagine people like to come hang out and have a good time. Perhaps the best part of going to the Pool Bar on this night was that I reaffirmed my love for Bachelorette Parties. Sometime before I mentioned that these parties are a pretty great thing to witness, but now I believe it's the single best reason for a group of girls to gather. Usually you get a wide variety of women per bachelor so it's nice to match up with a group of guys, especially if you're rolling deep, which I don't like but was the case for us. Since I was in a good mood (people and girl watching usually ALWAYS puts me in a good mood) I took it upon myself to be the one to go up and start conversations with every bachelorette we came across. It's perfect because you already have a great in, I like to lead with a simple "Congrats" and then depending on the situation I'll do one of two things. 1.)The bride to be responds kindly so I spark a conversation with her, asking who the maid of honor is and what activities they have planned, or 2.) The maid of honor takes it upon herself to introduce herself to me and include me and my friends in whatever activity they are doing. I know for anyone never in this situation it may seem odd, but I kid you not this formula led me to.....getting free shots (which was nice because drinks are SO overly priced there. $10 well shots), getting a group of girls to dance with all the guys I was with, making some friends, making out with a couple girls, getting flashed by a bride to be....yup, and me gaining all kinds of new (and dangerous) confidence.
I see it this way, people who take vacations or trips to these places EXPECT to have a good time, so I'm just a person they see as a way to help them accomplish their goals. It's all about being interactive and playful and getting everyone involved. I never would have been chosen as the recipient for that boob flashing had I not been the one to try to get two debbie downers of the group involved. Think Tucker Max without all the A*hole comments and antics. So when we find ourselves in these "This night will be as fun as we make it" situations, it is a shame for any one of us not to make that night the "best night of our life"
We ended up staying at the pool bar till about 3:30am, which is crazy because I've never really been in clubs that long, I mean sometimes you hit a 2:30 or 2:45 but when we left it was very much still packed and people were partying hard. We got there between 11:30 and 12am sometime, not really sure. After all the bachelorette party stuff, I decided to "take a lap", I'm sure we all know what this means at this point. For those who don't, taking a lap is basically a way to walk around the bar/club and search for potential hookups or at least people to dance with. Since I was rolling solo, at some point I got separated from the rest of the group, per usual, I was looking for well girls by themselves or at most two girls who looked like they worked well together. Eventually my usual "eye contact" method worked and this girl grabbed me and threw me in the center of her and her two friends. This group became my main contact for the night and eventually I "said hello" to the cutest single one. I say cutest single because in my opinion the cutest one had a boyfriend, I found some disagreement with my friends about this but we all know a lot of the time I have STRANGE tastes so it is what it is. At some point they all told me their full names (I like to ask for full names with girls I like, because it leaves the potential for me to facebook then and have future facebook flirting situations) but of course I forgot them all. I am so terrible with names that I almost forget them instantly. So throughout the night I asked each one again individually, and I still forgot them. I literally spent 30 mins in my hotel room trying to remember just one of their names but I did not succeed. If I couldn't remember names then it was hopeless when the girl I was making out with tried to tell me her number as they left the club, I didn't even remember the area code.... So I guess I self sabotaged myself into going home alone, but I really didn't think twice about it as this point. I was on a entirely different level of fun and proud of myself for taking the initiative so much in the night.
Well As it took my way too long to get home today from AC, I don't remember all the funny little details I was going to share about my night but that's the basic idea of it. We let ourselves have as much fun as we want to have. I love good looking people and get really excited when I'm around them. And I don't need to hook up to have the best night of my life in AC...Go figure.
You know if I continue this trend, of not needing or WANTING to hook up, maybe there's hope for 50 afterall ha ha
