Annelid's blog: "Ramblings,thoughts and assorted stuff"

Yea. So last night I turned 40. I had the traditional Birthday Dinner with the Folks (the parents not the gang). It was good….even got a wee bit tipsy on vino. I came home and did the Fu thing for a bit….whatever that entails. Looked at assorted nonsense on line, btw, for me Synths – PORN! ;) A friend I shall call Rui, heck that is his name messaged me and asked me what am I going to do for my birthday? I told him probably nothing, just some hot n heavy Nintendo DS action. Nothing gets me worked up than a good game of Tetris. A couple of ideas were bandied about and we decided to goto my nemesis of nightclubs..Qxt’s. Of course Eric wanted to go as well but I had to pick him up (that’s code for Eric wants to get utterly and completely mind f*cked) and I was again relegated to the designated driver status. So the Honda is gassed up and I’m on my way to Herr Eric’s lair. Apparently nothing has changed in his apartment since the last time I was there (which has been a few yrs). I dinked around a bit on his synthesizers, and we listened to some ambient music..oh and smoked. ;) The killing of brain cells began. I get a text message from Rui. “Where the hell are you 2 fukrs at?” I message him back and say the fukrs have left the casa and are headed to Newark. After a short non eventful ride to “beautiful Newark” we arrive @ our destination. We see Rui and assorted people outside as NJ has become a nanny state and g0d forbid you want to smoke at a bar. We go inside and the fun commences. I’m plied with shots of Jager , Amstel beer and some weird Florescent green concoction. A bit bitter but wow I’m feeling a bit loopy now. We all venture downstairs and watch the goings on. The cyberchicks in full attention whore mode. The rivet head guys flaying away on the dance floor. The goth girls doing the ummm, gothy sway dance? Bobbi sees me and the gruesome twosome and gives us a big group hug. And yes the obligatory punches in the arm for my b-day. Haha. She buys me a few shots of the Jager and at this point I’m like..ughhhhh as opposed to my normal mmmughhhh. Rui,Eric and I go outside to have a cig and then take a walk. We smoke and then SMOKE (if you know what I mean). All 3 of us are utterly and completed twisted at this particular time. We scurry back in for the “last call for alcohol” and sit around with stupid grins on. So… the club finally closes and Someone comes up with the idea of going to a seedy strip joint. I’m like “Noooooo” but I’m overruled. We hop into Rui’s car..and head off even deeper into the hell that’s known as Newark NJ. Lucky for me and much to the dismay of the other 2 , the place is closed. Yay! But the 420 sessions continue.I’m playing with the cell phone and accidentally called up someone @ 2:30 or so. I apologize. Me,weed,drink and cell phones do not mix well together. The other 2 are arguing about going back to Erics house, getting some Pizza and dropping Cid. ;) I again say “Noooooooo”. I suggested that I get dropped off to get my car. Back @ the parking lot people are still milling around from leaving the club. We see Bobbi and she invites us over to her house. So it’s a caravan of kooky kids. We make it to her house in the ass end of Bayonne and shuffle inside….and another 420 session starts. At this point my mind is all over the place…I can’t focus and to be honest I just wanted to be curled up in bed. After awhile of smoking and swiss cheese eating , Bobbi says that she’s going to bed and we have to leave. We thank her for her gracious hospitality and sit in our respective cars. We’re supposed to goto Eric’s house to watch some movies called NECROMANTIC , the combo of trippy acid house,the smoke and my general sense of bad direction gets me lost. I finally make it towards Jersey City and stop into a Dunkin Doughnuts and grab a few glazed (how apt) doughnuts and a hot chocolate. I then hit Route 3 and make the long, arduous trip back home. I finally roll into the apartment around 5:30ish give or take and crawl into bed. So I woke up at around 9 am this morning…my head pounding and I’ve been in ass dragging mode ever since. Other than a foray to do some pc support for the Parents I haven’t done a blessed thing today…. To sum it up …it was nice going out for a bit. Seeing friends was great. Getting a bit messed up was nice as well. But I can’t get back into this routine again…
