Hot & Humid

"The poets are just kids who didn't make it and never had it at all."

I don't really believe in luck or anything, but I think I may be cursed. It seems like no matter what I do, how much I try, I seem to screw things up. It's no one's fault but my own, but I do it so efficiently. That's all on that subject, I won't dwell.

Yesterday was awesome. We started by going to my dad's barbeque, which was really just 4 of us sitting on the deck eating hot dogs and talking about the weather and things. I saw a picture of me from about 5 years ago. It was pretty funny to see, I looked ridiculous. I had turquoise hair... it was a fun time. Then we had to get fudge, so we went down to Wildwood. There was a surprising lack of traffic on the way down for a holiday weekend. We went to the arcade and discovered that i'm the master of the claw machine! I got Woody Woodpecker, first try. I could have gotten every other one in there, too. But, who needs more than one Woody? We got fudge and headed down to the "casino." We played video poker and slots to win a bunch of tokens. We got a little skee ball in, but not enough. After quite a while of pondering, we decided to get 2 army men with parachutes and give our other 250 tokens to a group of kids who were ecstatic to receive such a gift. We headed home, I had some of the fudge- it was even better melted... Then my car started overheating, so we stopped for a minute to let it cool off. It's always something with my car. We got home and chilled out for a while. We figured it was a good day to make chocolate covered strawberries, so we started boiling water and melting chocolate chips and we did it. I only had one, but it was really good. We had more food from the grill and watched Two for the Money. I wasn't sure about it, but it's a good movie. Too much sitting down time gave us the energy to go for a run around the block. Some sweat, tears, and a little bit of vomit later we ended up going out for a drive since it was so nice out. Once the car started overheating again, we figured it was time to call it a day. So, we hung out and watched some SVU and MTV for a while before we parted ways and went to sleep. Yep, cursed.

Anyway, this morning I got up early and headed the the zoo with a group of us. Cape May Zoo that is.. in Cape May Court House. The zoo was hot, the animals were sleeping and we held people up to take a picture. That was that, so we came back home and got ready for Nathan's graduation/birthday barbeque. And that pretty much brings us up to date and back to the first thing I wrote about being cursed. So, wish me luck on the next thing I'm bound to fuck up. So long.

Friends... what can I say? Some people just don't match the definition I have.
