Weekend in Review

We’ll start from Thursday: Bowling, got sorta drunk, had lots of fun, won two outta three… bowled close to my average on the first two games and then threw a 217… on my last game… not bad. It was a fun night for some reason. We got rowdy for no reason. Those nights are the best.

Friday: Went to a Christmas party at my buddy Sam’s house. It was melo. I only had a couple beers. It was a nice eve though, good to see the amigos. Got a super nice Christmas present from my friend Jamie... that chick rules.

Saturday: Woke up and charged down to the park in tha SVC. Skated like it was 1998. I landed almost all the tricks in my bag. Not only did I shred it up… but I also managed to stay on my board for the most part… yes I know, not so impressive to some… but for me, that was a good day. I honestly don’t remember the last time I skated as good as I did on Saturday. Someday’s it just all clicks into place… Halfcab-to blunt-to axle on the 4 ft mini… lipslides, tailslide reverts, fakie 50-50 revert on the mini… I could do no wrong. It was great. After about 2 hours at SV the crew rolled up to Greer for a sesh in tha bowls. It was fun. I love that place. There is no better feeling in the world then carving around the big bowl with your friends on a nice saturday afternoon....

Sat-night: JB’s B-day. Usually calls for a night of chaos and destruction. This year was not quite as crazy… but still made for some good stories. The whole crew made it out, which was awesome. It’s not every day that all the homies go out and get bent. We started the night off with dinner at Gordon Bierch. I won’t tell you how much I paid for my dinner… let’s just say some of my “friends” didn’t pitch in their part…. Or maybe I’ll put it this way: If I had gotten what I paid for I would have eaten 3 steaks and a couple of beers…. So… off to a rocky start, but I wasn’t about to let that shit get me down, it was JB’s b-day, and he’s the man… so I shrugged it off and decided to get wasted. Mind you I was determined to not get sick, after all, my steak cost me more then a brand new skateboard… ps. Thank goodness Mike and Damian came out those dudes are funny and kept my spirits up. It was a good night. I had a lot of fun. By the end of the night I was ramming people with my dome and falling on the floor a lot. Good times.

Body count: 4 ½ beers at Gordon, 1 pineapple bomber, 4 jack and cokes, 1 Irish car bomb.

Sunday: Went to tha Prima Deli for lunch… damn good sandwich. Played some ping pong with Damian. Got worked. But also worked off a bit of my hangover. Someone puked in my bathroom, I won’t name any names….but they didn’t have very good aim… so I had to clean some of it up the next day…. Gross… really f’n gross…actually it was really really really f’n gross…. but that’s what friends are for right? To take care of their homies right? and I know my friends would do the same for me. At around 2 it was off to the park to shoot some hoops with the 568crew. We ended up playing a pick up game with some high school kids… I felt old. . I felt old and I was still feeling the effects of the hangover… which only added to my feeling of oldness… We played hard and actually managed to throw down some game against tha young’ens!!! We even ended up taking them too the hoop beating them 2 games to 1!!! Surprisingly enough it was OUR full court hustle that won it for us. Can you believe it??? Three 26 year olds out hustling 17 year olds??? Even more surprising was the fact that I was our leading scorer… For one day I was Sean “Street ballin out of control” Fallon… it was a whole lot of fun. I haven’t been that exhausted in years… at one point my roommate Damian threw up a perfect aley-oop (sp)… I sooooo wanted to dunk it. I could see it, I could feel it, I just couldn’t do it… hahaha If only I was a foot taller… I had to settle for an “athletic” lay-up… oh well… maybe someday...hahaha Anyway, the O.G.’s took the kids to school and walked away with the victory… true my feet have huge blisters and my lower back still hurts when I bend over… but we won.. and victory is sweeeeeet….

And that’s the weekend in review…. Count one more for tha good guys!
