Wowzer, this is the first blog I have written since the new layout!!  Nice job Timbo!!

So I had the greatest weekend.  By far the best one for awhile. 

Friday night I went out, although i shouldn't have.  My wisdom teeth have been freaking killing me.  I was going to go home eat a Vicodin and lay on my couch.  I went home laid on my couch and got bored within minutes.  I left the house and went up to the Treasure Trove...Good Times.  I ran into two people this weekend I haven't had the pleasure of seeing in a couple years.  It was good to see them.  I checked out the new pirate bar...Argh!!  That is when things got interesting...stupid Natanis decides it would be a good idea to take a Vicodin while drinking.  Not to mention I was drinking Saki because the Pirate Bar only sells beer and wine.  Saki + Vicodin = Blackout...The valet of the Bahia Cabana drove me home, I woke up in the morning with no shoes and no car.  Very confused.

Saturday...Wooo Hooooooo!! Football is back, I went to the Dolphins/Jaguars game...Daunte looked good.  Harrington is going to be a good prospect...Made some obvious first game mistakes a few fumbles.  Lost 31-26 but oh well, god I am so happy football is back.

My friend bought a Chrysler 300M stretch limo last week and started a company.  We took the limo over to my friends going away party, it is pretty nice. 

I am pretty excited for Tuesday, I am going to see Hank Williams Jr. with one of my friends that I ran into this weekend.  Stoked!!

Note to the guys that read this.  This is probably the worst  "pick up" line you could ever use on a girl..."You know what would look good? ...my dick between your tits!!"   Wow, let me go run right over there and jump in bed with you...Ahh the single life!!

EFF YOU!!

So I decided I would blog about one of our favorite topics...Food!!

My boss went out and got snacks for the office today.  Have you ever heard of Rainier cherries, man they are the best cherries ever.  I hate maraschino cherries, really I don't like cherries at all, but these little yellow and red cherries taste like mini plums, they are delish.

Fresca, anyone like Fresca, how about Moxie.  My mom used to drink Moxie all the time, now that is a disgusting beverage.  I love Fresca, now they have all the different varieties.  Peach and what not, I'll stick to the old classic though.

I just got a sub for lunch an Italian, which aren't like the italians from up north but anyways.  Anyone who knows me knows I am a meat, cheese and mayo kind of girl.  My boss knows this, but apparently the sandwich maker just was not listening.  My sub came back with lettuce, tomato, and onion.  Now that wouldn't have been a big deal, I could have scraped that off and been good.  But NO, they had to go and put oil and vinegar in addition to the mayo, what was this guy thinking.  Sandwich officially ruined.

Any thoughts?

I just realized how easily you can go from everything is rosy, to felling like a pile of shit in a matter of days, or minutes, even seconds.  I am feeling a bit unstable, I have decided that I hate MONEY, or should I say I hate not having money.  I am quite frankly in a financial pickle.  I just got my fine today from Bonnaroo....drum roll please, $2318.  Bullshit, do I fight it and take the chance, no I suck it up and pay the damn fine.  I guess it is better than having to go to jail, or take the chance of having a felony on my record.  What chaps my ass is that my friend who got charged with the pot, got the same fine, he had 11.5 ounces.  So the state of TN has gotten $5736 from just us, imagine how much revenue they created for themselves.  On top of having to pay this fine by September 1st, I am also about $600 short of rent this month and I have to make a car payment on the 5th.  Fuck shit!!! 

I just hope I have a good month at work, looks like I could have a couple of closings, (knocks on wood) but you can't depend on those.  Anyways that is all.

Rant Over! 

SO I logged onto my myspace account to see a comment, (thanks Ness for stopping by) and I look over and see all these frickin bulletins that I supposedly posted.  Bullshit about 50 cent being gay, something promoting jeans.  What the fuck, I think someone hacked into my account.  Don't ya think that is a little strange?  So do I change my password, delete my account, what should I do?

On a side note, the funniest thing happened at the bar last night...I was at the Treasure Trove with my friends, Heather, April, Jimmy and John, and some random guy walks up to my friend Jimmy as he was singing the Humpty Dance and says I'll give you $50 bucks if you get up on the bar and do the humpty dance...this was a no brainer Jimmy is nuts!!   So Jimmy gets up on the bar and does the Humpty Dance, $50 bucks earned.  As he was on the bar some guy walked in with a yellow fish net shirt on and Jimmy hollars..."Hey Hulk Hogan I want your shirt!!"  It was hilarious, the guy gave Jimmy his shirt and Jimmy stripped half naked put the shirt on and finished the Humpty.  To only find out the shirt came from a homeless Haitian down on the beach...Great times, freaking great times!!

I woke up this morning opened my door to let the cat in and took a deep breath.  The warm Florida air was so nice for some reason this morning.  Although it was 80 at 9am, so I stepped back inside to the A/C...ahhh A/C.  To be honest I don't think I could live in Florida without it. 

Man, I am in such a good mood today.  I decided to take the scenic route to work this morning, to take in the sights and sounds of A1A.  It was gorgeous, the ocean was like a lake, all flat and calm.  Beautiful!!  There were people out running, and tanning, enjoying a coffee.  I really love it here.  I go through my bouts when I want to move, but than I think to myself where am I going to go where I can go out boating every other weekend.  Enjoy lots of live music.  Go to the beach whenever I want.  The weather is beautiful pretty much all year round.  Take in a baseball, basketball, hockey game.  Pretty much no where.

Have a great day everyone!! 

My friend went missing Friday night, she left a local bar at about midnight and she had been missing ever since.  Her fiancee and mom had been searching diligently knowing that she was not the "Runaway Bride". 

They found her body this morning, apparently she drove her car off of the Turnpike and into a canal...well at least her family and all of us can rest at night knowing that she wasn't raped and murdered.  It is still so unfortunate.

RIP Tiffany

I just ran over to Arby's to get a Jamocha shake, I was craving one pretty badly.  I am sitting here in my office drinking this frosty cold deliciousness.  I think next to strawberry shakes jamocha is the next best thing, followed by chocolate.  You?

I get a call last night at about 5 am, which isn't real abnormal because most of my friends are wicked partiers and they are up all night drinking.  This phone call was different though, this call was enough to piss me off and jump on a plane to Newport, RI and kick some ass!!  Anyone live in RI?

So Giselle, the DB (dumb bitch, douche bag) that burned my house down calls me fucking wasted, barely can speak.  This after all weekend I was bragging about how well she was doing.  After she burned down the house I called her mom and sent her to Maine to go to rehab, which of course she checked out of the week after she got there.  Fine, she didn't have the money and she was going to do it on her own.  She was attending AA meetings regularly, or so I am told by her mom and sister.  I though she was doing good.

She called me about two weeks ago to let me know that she had gotten a job back working on a yacht.  She had decided to stay off of yachts because it was hard for her not to drink in that environment.  She tried to get a private chef job working in some one's home, but that didn't happen and she has to pay back the $50,000 in school loans.  I understand the girl has to make a living.  Any how she said last week in a phone call she was going to send me $3500 when she got her first paycheck, usually one month into the job.

Than calls me last night so drunk, I wanted to fucking kill her.  Now she is drinking she will lose her job AGAIN!!  Which means no money for Natanis and Natanis can really use some help.  I paid out that money to my landlord for the fire and I expect to be paid back.  I know you are all going to say not to hold my breath on the money, but she is, out of all my friends the most likely to repay me.

I called her this morning , she doesn't remember calling me and swears that she is sober, fucking bitch...I left her with I WANT MY FUCKING MONEY THAT YOU OWE ME AND I AM GOING TO CALL YOU EVERY FUCKING DAY YELLING AT YOU TILL I GET IT, AND IF I HAVE TO I WILL COME UP TO RHODE ISLAND TO GET IT!!

Rant over, sorry guys!

I had a great time, Casey's birthday was a lot of fun.  We got drunk, which happened even quicker considering I went from Florida to 10,500 ft.  Chase is getting so big, teething at the moment...fun, fun!  The views from a lot of the places we went were stunning! 

Talk to y'all on Monday!

I leave on a 8:30 flight tonight, I land in Denver at 2:43 am and than drive 2 hours to Breceknridge, but it is all worth it.  I get to spend Casey's birthday with her.

There's more, but I gotta get back to work!  I'm leaving for Breckenridge, Colorado tomorrow night.

 

 

This is going to be a quick one so I can get Chy her damn pictures before the deadline!!

Refugee Allstars and Sierra Leone~Reggae, good show danced hard.  Drinking vodka from the spray bottles again today.  The weather was hot and humid Sunday about 95 degrees in the shade. 

Bela Fleck and the Flecktones~Awesome, awesome show, I have only ever seen Bela Fleck by himself, I will definitely go again to see him with the Flecktones.  Victor Wooten and Futureman rocked the house!  Amazing!

Jeffrey, Brandon and I went together to see Phil Lesh and friends. (Joan Osbourne, Phil Lesh, Mike Gordon, and Trey Anistasio) We met up with a long time friend "Molly".  We had a great time, all the good tunes, Uncle John's Band, Tangled Up in Blue, and this is where I start feeling my friend.  I am about as lifted as can be, it starts raining and they start playing Shakedown Street.  Joan Osbourne is going off singing her heart out, we are peaking going nuts.  I look over at Brandon and Jeffrey and we all at the same time say "I will never forget this moment"  It was the best!

That concludes my trip to Bonnaroo.  Pics coming after I go to lunch!

Day 3- I woke up at about 8 am had some breakfast, hot dogs I believe and started guzzling beers, we decided that if we caught a good enough buzz we wouldn't have to pay so much for beer inside.  We had those spray bottles that have a fan on them for water and we filled those up with alcohol, I know clever right?!  We made a batch of tea from some goodies we found late the night before, and filled four bottles up with that too.  We were set!!  Off we went.

We walked around the Centeroo and through the shakedown to see if we could replace a few pieces that were confiscated, unfortunately nothing jumped out at me.

2:00pm~Jeffrey, Ben and I went to see Gomez on the sonic stage, the sonic stage is an acoustic stage so you get to hear the bands in a different element.  They played a good set and played my favorite song so I was stoked.  We went back and forth from the Beer tent drinking Abita and great microbrews.

3:15-4:45~ Rusted Root~Everytime I have seen them I have been nothing but impressed.  They played all the old songs from Send Me on My Way.  Come to think of it the concert area was packed and we were discussing how they have only put out two or three albums and always draw a serious crowd.  Great dancing music.

5:00~We could hear Cypress Hill and Damian Marley playing from Rusted Root and ventured over there to see that show.  On the way we spotted Mike Gordon getting a corn dog and asked him for a picture, he said "No, he was over all the pics" I said thanks and have a great day...whatever!

5:30~Beck~ God damn Beck was one of my favorite performances of the show, in my opinion they stole the show.  They did a puppet show on the jumbotrons and mocked the whole Bonnaroo experience.  They played some old school stuff and some new stuff and ended the show by blowing up a ginornous radio.  Good Times.  I was feeling mighty good at this time from the tea, just bobbing and swaying and dancing about.  I was kinda upset that I missed Medeski, Martin and Wood but hey it was worth it.  I had never seen Beck and I have seen MMW like 4 times.

We went back to the RV's to do some more drinking and some chillin' out.  We grilled up some hamburgers and drank some serious cocktails.  The headliner for Sat night was Radiohead, I must admit the only song I know of from Radiohead was Creep.  The same with most of the people I was with.  We all decided to go and see what they had to offer.  I was told by one person they kinda sounded like Pink Floyd.

8:00~We wanted to get there a little bit early to get good seats, but that didn't happen.  It was fine though because I was in the mood to boogie down and they wanted me to go to sleep.  Jeffrey had left me to go to the bathroom and ended up laying on the ground and passing out.  8-12 of us did NOT enjoy them at all.  I guess if I would have been in a slower sleepy mood it would have been great!  I left there and went on the Ferris Wheel to get a birds eye view.  There wasn't a line because Radiohead was playing, fun fun! 

9:00~ I headed back to the RV to see what kind of trouble I could get into on Shakedown.  Well than I heard it, pssssssssssssst!  Nitrous, oh how I love the hippy crack!  I wondered over to where the noise came from and hear a guy shouting 5 bucks, no deals, no change.  I got 4 cause all I had was a $20. (Smart guy!)  So in my drunken stooper, standing there on uneven ground I fell over into the nitrous tank and knocked it over onto my foot.  Mutha fucker...turns out I had a hairline fracture on the top of my foot...You think I cared nope, and didn't even lose the balloons.

Drank and drank some more, Jeffrey showed up at the RV and helped me finish off my balloons.  We hung out for a while, everyone else came back and went to bed, so Jeffrey and I stayed up laughing and having a grand old time.  I was pretty wasted and therefore we missed the late night shows!  Oh well.

 

Day 2~ We are in the gates, the parking attendants directed us to park to the left and we decided FUCK THAT the cops searching area was within 100 ft, and I wasn't having it.  We ventured the 2 RV's up front weaving and bobbing through people and found RV hill.  That was our spot for the weekend.  It was a sweet spot too, not too far from Centeroo which is the center entrance to the concert area, and not far from Shakedown.  We got settled in and headed to shakedown and towards Centeroo.  Brandon and I went to go find Jeffrey, he is one of the originals from last year.  He drove down from New York with a friends and they decided to chill over in the RV area with us.  Which was cool because now I have my festival buddy!

2:00-3:15 pm~ Ben Folds~ Show was pretty good, I only knew a couple of songs by him.  I listened for a little while and than ventured over to see Mike Gordon.

3:00-4:30 pm~Mike Gordon~For some reason I totally spaced that G-Love was playing and I kinda would have rathered seen him, but Mike Gordon blew the doors off.  He was amazing.

4:30-5:15 pm~ Walked around sweating my tits off, drinking as much beer I could get my hands on and people watched...ooh the hippies! 

5:30-7:30 pm~ Oysterhead-(Les Claypool, Stewart Copeland, Trey Anistasio)-Jammed out hardcore.  Les was walking around with a pig mask just going nuts on the guitar.  I danced so hard and had a great time, by this point I am drunk exhausted and hot.  Lots of fun.

Tom Petty was the headliner for Friday night, Jeffrey, Jack and myself decided to stay back at the RV and sit on the roof listen to the music and drink some of the 200+ beers we had on site.  The sound was great, we heard Stevie Nicks come out, they started off with Stop Dragging My Heart Around.  It was a really good time, we laughed, drank and smoked a lot!

Jeffrey, Jack and I hit the late night sessions, My Morning Jacket was first it was too slow, I wasn't in that mood, than we went to Common, Blackalicious and Lyrics Born.  George Clinton came out with Lyrics Born and played some funk.  Back to the RV for a few hours rest I guess I woke up about 7 am when I realized I was getting choked out by the exhaust from the RV.  Some how I passed out on a tarp between the two RV's, the weather was perfect and no bugs so it worked out.

We'll talk some more later, I am off for the weekend.

Day 1~ We picked up the RV's on Thursday at 3:00, we anticipated that we would leave for Super Walmart at 4:00 and be on the road by 5:00.  Wrong Answer, understand we had 12 people and 2 RV's.  12 people in Walmart means we actually got on the road at 8:30 pm.  Pretty uneventful drive, I took the last leg into Bonnaroo.  I drove the Beast for 3 hours, I was scared to death but actually ended up liking driving the 30 footer.

Day 2~ We arrived at Stuckey's restaurant the exit before Bonnaroo to pick up one of the festival goers ticket.  Misty met us there with the ticket in hand and directed us the back way to get in where there would be less traffic.  Woo hoo Misty.  We arrive at the gates via the back entrance and much to our dismay this year it was not just the staff that was searching th RV's.  "Shit, Fuck...Man this is gunna suck ass, SHIT, we are fucked!!"

So that is where it all began, the DTF asked us to step out of the vehicle and we did.  One very nice officer hops off the RV and says "So who is the proud owner of the bag in the RV?"  Brandon and I  looked at each other and he stepped forward to claim the bag.  Well here we go, inside the bag was our proceeds for the Bonnaroo trip.  11.5 oz of pot, a scale, bags, basically everything we needed to take a trip to Coffee County Jail.  The officer than stated that it was truth time and if we all told them what was in the RV we could have a nice weekend at the festival if not, they were bringing in the dogs.  They got to my purse and I pulled out a pipe and about an eighth of mushrooms.  "Can I see your ID?"  OH FUCK OH FUCK is all that is going through my head at this point in time.  "Ms. McK... can you please step over here with us".  A brick is about to fall out of my ass at this time.  He sat me and Brandon down and explained that he was going to write us up for a misdemeanor possession of marijuana and mushrooms charge and that we had to come up with $1100 on the spot or they would seize the RV.  In the meantime the officers are going through the bag and found Mr. Poo the vaporizer and began asking directions on how to use it.  Like those bastards weren't going to be sitting around laughing getting high together later.  I gathered the $1100 and we had to see the tax man.  Yep they figured out how to tax illegal drugs, which was fine by me because we were not going to jail.  The officers issued us our tickets and said a fine would be coming via mail and that it would not go on our record if we paid the fine on time.  "HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND FOLKS"

Off we went, with our lucky selves.....

To be continued!

Woo hoo, I am so damn excited....Bonarooooooo!!!

This event is the best three days of music I will probably hear this year.  Tom Petty, Radiohead, Death Cab, Robert Randolph, Les Claypool, Medeski, Martin & Wood.  It is going to be fantastic!!  www.bonnaroo.com/2006

So far it is the 2 RV's, 10 people, lots of beer, and dare I mention...

 

FYI, just got my ticket to go to Breckenridge, CO at the end of the month, yippee, summer is here!

Okay, so I have been seeing/hanging out with this guy.  6 foot tall blonde haired cutie.  He is smart (going to school for engineering), we have great conversations, he is great in bed. (Yeah that is important) BUT....

He is a horrible kisser, I mean horrible.  He kisses with his mouth all wide open like I am going on a scavenger hunt to find his damn tongue, so weird and awkward.  I am trying to figure out the best way to say hey buddy, close your damn mouth a little with out offending him.  If that is at all possible.  I just don't understand how he could have been in a 4 yr relationship and his ex never told him/showed him how to kiss.  How do I remedy this situation or do I just continue to search through his wide open mouth to find his damn tongue?

This is freaking hilarious, you gotta check it out. Someone on the TV bored I frequent put it up, I have been laughing hysterically in my office.
