Wow well what a weekend. Got out of work for a half day on Friday, ran home picked up my contacts, finally got in contact with Amar, Matt, and Scott and set out for Atlantic City. That's when we hit the typhoon. Worst traveling weather EVER. Ugh. Brought along the Ipod and it passed the first long term traveling test with flying colors. I just exchanged it yesterday actually as my new one came in 4 days ahead of schedule! Go Apple! Once we got down to AC we met up with Tammy and Lindsey and went out for a walk on the boardwalk. Went to the Hard Rock Cafe there for dinner, pretty awesome since I'd never been to any HRC's up until then. Afterwards we got ready to go out and hit up this bar on the boardwalk. Not bad except for the really drunk in-his-50's guy (who was wearing a fanny-pack) who came up to me and proceeded to:
1.) Give me a hug
2.) Offer me a beer
3.) Inform me that if he was gay I'd be a hot ticket and he'd hit on me
4.) Actually DID hit on me.

Then his friend came over, just as blasted but aware of it at least and a good 20 years younger. Then their hippie chick came over and proceeded to investigate what we were discussing. So now I've got a thirty-something hippie in my arms, a 50 year old man trying to grab my ass, and his younger friend patting me on the shoulder.

Woo....hoo.....

The hippie wouldn't let me go either until I did "peace" to her and we did that whole 60s connect our fingers. I think I know why guys in the 60s never got laid. The women wore some hot clothing, but the men were stuck in the middle of a sexual revolution, at their sexual peak, wearing clothes that guaranteed they weren't going to get laid. To quote Denis Leary (WHOSE ROAST IS ON THIS WEEK!), "I think the qualudes explained why we were wearing the bell bottom pants don't you?"

After finishing up there we went over to the WILD WILD WEST Bally's casino. Fun times. Amar and I dropped about $40 a piece in the slots. Yeah mindless, yeah stupid, yeah we were both $40 poorer. Then I hit up the $5 blackjack tables. Ooohhhh booyah That was fun times up there. Good dealers, good hands, and good profits. Matt made out exceptionally well at the craps table, and Scott after losing a crapload at the roulette table, made out with over $200 of THEIR money. Not bad eh? Tammy broke even, but she's becoming quite the gambler ::wink wink:: so she'll be under in a few days again lol. Next day we drove off to Lindsey's which was really a great end to the weekend. Matt ended up coming to Lindsey's after all and Jesse and Kevin showed up that night as well. It was good to be in the sun and go swimming. The fluorescents are humming angrily at me as a type. They know I was out getting natural light. I'll smash a few of them later when no one's looking.

Matt brought along Dance Dance Revolution, actually all of them. I had never played before because I didn't want to try it at the movies or the arcade and look like an idiot. So I did the training modes and all and got the hang of it really quick. It was really fun and became a highlight of the weekend. You actually had to put yourself in the "queue" to play! Next morning we all were up fairly early and headed off back home. Took a quick nap, headed out to Menlo with Amar, Jesse, and Kevin to pick up my Ipod and see what the Old Navy over there had to offer. Stopped off at Friendly's for dinner, and then straight off to see American Wedding. Not a bad flick, although I wish the few characters they cut out were in there. Chris Klein can go to hell though, I'm glad he was cut out :P Got some sleep, maybe all told about 12 hours the entire weekend...But I couldn't feel better. Really.

Now it's back to my last week of work WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Time to go bring the hurt to the humming lights....
