I'm just getting drunk (Harpoon UFO is the shit!) while I continue packing up my apartment. Come Monday morning, I'm finally leaving the rental market and settling on a condo. I really wish I was taking all of next week off work.

[quote=ArtMonkDrillz;1009392]I'm running the Warrior Dash for the second time tomorrow. As long as the rain holds off it should be awesome!
My group will soar majestically over the fray in these beauties (on the right, they sold for $1 each) and then spend the afternoon tailgating.

Can't wait!

Lol, did you see the hotdog/hamburger shirts at your Walmart too? One of my friends bought like 5 of them for me and co.'s X-mas presents last year, and we had to take a group photo wearing them. Those things were hilarious, good thing they were only a buck each too otherwise he never would've bought them.

One of my buddies has a bunch of those shirts and always wears them at parties. I think he has a pizza one too along with the hotdog/hamburger. They're pretty funny.

It's also almost "work 11 hours on Friday after working 11 hours on Thursday" time, which precedes "work 9 hours on Saturday before getting 1 day off then repeating the process next week" time.

TL;DR: I heart work.

Yes its Friday. I'm pouring beer to raise some money for our club at the cities TGIF. Its a fun time because we drink almost as much as we serve. This year I can walk as the park is about 5 min from our house.

re: The Friday thread
 

At the outer banks with a slight hangover. Still feels better than work

Can we start an "its almost friday" thread. It would make my weekends seem longer.

re: The Friday thread
 

Nice long weekend ahead, just gotta get through this half day.

re: The Friday thread
 

Next week is gonna be long. Then we have to wait all weekend and go to work on Monday before we get to watch some real football. Keep strong.

since there isnt a "hey we decided to sell our house and move to new orleans for 6 months thread because we are kinda stupid and definitely having adjustment issues as we try to act our age" i guess this will do.

in short, i was working 55-60 hours a week and most weekdays i literally didnt see my new born daughter. so i decided to quit my job in april. problem is we had a nice house with a nice mortgage so we decided to sell our house. while on vacation in new orleans in april (pre-planned, pre-paid trip before i quit) my lady asked me if we could move to new orleans for 6 months. i had like 6-8 different types of beers in me from day drinking and i said "sure honey". she said "i love you" and later that night we did some things you only see in german porn. anyways, closed on our house last week and i am now sitting in a motel off I 40 in knoxville with my dog. my lady and daughter are flying down on tuesday.

we got a great spot, a 2 bedroom "penthouse" of a victorian mansion on st charles ave in the garden district. the street car goes right out in front of our place with our master bedroom overlooking it. the real world house is a few blocks down and the king of mardi gras' mansion is a block away.

so besides busting my hump the last 4 days packing and moving everything i am pretty pumped. normally im a family oriented person. wake up, work hard, come home, go to home depot on the weekends, maybe the farmers market on sunday etc ..... but my lady is crazy.

but i am happy she pushed this because i would have never done this. there is this story i am sure you heard.

guy is 49 years old, worked hard, paid his bills, raised his kids etc.
one day he dies.
as he stands in front of god he begs god to give him just one more week. there are so many things he wanted to do. that he was saving up for.
god says, what have you done for the past 49 years of life I gave you? You knew you dont live forever and that you would have to leave this world. Why now after 49 years of life do you want to live?

anyway, cheesy regurgitated story i know. but there is something to that notion of live life, make each day count, act like each day is your last .. whatever bumper sticker slogan you want to use.

so, its 12:59 am on a friday and i couldnt be happier that im sitting in some motel on the side of the highway in tennessee with another 10 hours of driving ahead of me in a jam packed peice of shit moving truck that overheats on inclines with a trailer hitch from hades .... im going to nola to be a stay at home dad with my 17 month old. ... at least for 6 months. plus im expecting a lot of german sex for this.
