The lights are on
Oh, you knew it was coming, don't act surprised!
Today marks my 8 year anniversary on this site. To me, that's scary. I feel like the old guy crashing a party. I joined this site two months after the original redesign that launched a thousand profiles. And I was one of them.
Hey everybody, I'm back from Hawaii! In case you didn't know, I went to a wedding in Hawaii for a week. I had fun, and you can, too! (But only if you can go to Hawaii)
So I got home from work early the other day and I was totally about to rock out and dive into some Haagen-Dazs (sp?) icre cream (Rocky Road, anyone?!?!?!?!?!) when I get a text from Brandon RANDOMLY. He says "Hey I'm in town, so lets hang out!!" I haven't seen Brandon in, like, a year or something so I jump on the opportunity. "Okay! Where you wanna meet?" I ask. He replies "Oh, let's meet down by that place we used to hang out at. You know, that Gameworks place! Ha!" Gameworks? I think to myself. But I haven't been there since... high school. Whatever, though, because it's Brandon. How often do I get to see Brandon?
So who wants to play video games with me? And also, how the heck do I get Live?? I have no idea how modern technology works; I just bought my first flashlight the other day and just freaked the hell out.
Brandon and I were hanging out this weekend. We had a few beers downtown, and he poured his heart out to me. It was weird. The following is the conversation as I remember it:
It was a Wednesday morning back in '03, and I was running a little late for school. I bolted to the school in a hurried mess well after the bell rang. I was a little embarassed to be so late, since this was the day we were all going to have a PIZZA PARTY!
Have you ever had one of those days where you really, really crave something and you'll stop at nothing to go get it? This is my story of me and Brandon's goal to go to Hooters for the first time ever.
Brandon hates Jay Leno. It's kind of surprising how riled up he gets sometimes. He hated him on The Tonight Show, and he despises his new show. I told him "Brandon, it's the exact same thing as what he did on the Tonight Show, he just doesn't have a desk when interviewing guests." He tells me "That's exactly what I hate about it. He don't push the envelope. He's the safe comedian. He ain't got no balls, yo." I hate it when he brings up the cajones.
Scrooged: 8.5/10
Today we had a double-feature:
