Friday night hockey with Steve was a lot better than last time. Getting to know some of the guys better so there is a comfort level rising there. After the game I met the guys at Sully’s for a bon fire. I had gotten a call thursday night from Mike asking if I could help him move Shannon (his sister). I believe his words were “she doesn’t have much stuff, 2 or 3 big things and that’s about it”. Oh there was stuff, and it was also never mentioned that she was on the 5th floor at the end of the hall! Of course I am just kidding…I don’t get to help Mike out very often and I have always been good friends with Shan(1) so I would have been more upset if they hadn’t called me for help. I have been spoiled by the Dickenson’s on many occassion so I was happy to help out.
I was a little tired for Saturday hockey and black was off to a slow start but we pulled it out in the end. After hockey Paul and I went back to my place and waited on Bry and George. Those guys stock my place up with beer like a milkman delivers milk. G, Angie, and the puncher(2) (as Paul would say) came by shorlty after that and we went to a party at Lynne’s place for her birthday. From there we ended up a Coyote’s where we ran into Vern, Steve, Gaelyn, and Kira. Didn’t really like it there but we had a good time. Paul and I got a ride to George’s (burgers) with Timmy, Angie, and Jen. I just want to thank Angie and Tim for hauling us around all night.
Sunday was black(3). I was up pretty early and picked up Bry for lunch and then took him to pick up his car. Then I went to Home Depot with the Ratte’s. Sunday night, went to Amber’s and watched the MTV Music Awards and got to see Erin for a bit so that was nice,
(1) – Shan and I always got along well. Whenever there was an event, even if we were in other relationships, we would spend most of our time together at these things. Like the Universe is trying to tell you something. Truth is, I found out about this move when Mike showed up at hockey (Highlander days) and announced Shan and Todd were breaking up; to which I responded “does she know me?” – It was then Mike asked if I wanted to help move, so I did.
(2) – The origin of “The Puncher” nickname comes from Ratte. Simply because he got punched a lot. So does Brey!
(3) – There are many instances in my writing back in the day where I reference “Black Sunday”. These are hangover days.
