5 Parties for 5 de Mayo


Party 1.
8:30pm, Monticello Apts. - Reconnected with old friends, sang in Spanish, only one person, in a queue of 20, had the opportunity to strike a piñata before it exploded.


Party 2.
9:15pm, My apartment - ¡Taco party with the roomies! Re-met friends of Brian and Tron.


Party 3.
9:45pm, Carriage Cove 116 - I was given the opportunity to rock a piñata, and I did. I also drew a stylish mustache and unibrow on myself (inspired by Ryan Tripp). Tostadas.


Party 4.
10:30pm, Carriage Cove 119 - Celebrated Heidi's birthday, ate too much sugar, and played "P-I-G" using Skittles with David Cox. After an hour, I won. (I'm undefeated, taking all challengers -- Gummy Bears are preferred over hard-shelled candies.)


Party 4.5.
* 12:15pm, Danny Gray's Place - Almost watched 3 Amigos with the Grays. (This one didn't really count.)


Party 5.
12:45, Walmart (after hours with Vanim) - Mexican hat danced and whistled with the employees and fellow guests. (Probably some of the most fun I had all night.)


The best part was that I wasn't at all intoxicated enabling me to remember all the crazy things I did and record them on this blog for people to mock years (and days) from now!

    I like the way the stache ripples when you do that neck trick. Also, the unibrow is priceless. Glad you knew how to fiesta and remember it. I had enchiladas for lunch with Joni to celebrate. No pinata sadly.

Rummi-"CUB" vs. Rummi-"CUBE"

The "Rummikub" Pronunciation Debate Affirmative Constructive: "Cub" For years, I have been a firm advocate and defender of the pronunciation, Rummi-"CUB".  The game box I grew up with spelled it, Rummicub  on the box. However, other productions of the game have variant spellings: Rummykub , Rummy Kube , Rummy Tiles , etc.  Based solely on box spelling, the game's true pronunciation is open to interpretation. Therefore, Rummi"cub" is equally acceptable to any other given pronunciation. Negative  Constructive : "Cube" My opponents argue that since the game originated over seas, we ought to respect and maintain its original pronunciation. Affirmative Rebuttal: Americanization of the Term When the game was brought to America and given Americanized rules, its name was also Americanized. Pronunciation loyalists then counter my rebuttal with, "there are lots of adopted foreign words that have retained their original pron

The Secret Reason Why "Good Witch" Feels Emotionally Off

TL;DR It's the Botox. For the past 3 months, my wife, Stacia, and I have been watching  Good Witch  (via Netflix and Amazon Prime). Stacia adores winding down to "Hallmark-y shows." We can rely on Good Witch episodes to always resolve happily. The episodes are never too intense. The height of conflict revolves around things like someone's inability to locate the perfect spot to snap a romantic photo for a new tourism brochure. I consider my time watching these shows spouse bonding time , and emotional training. My favorite thing about watching feel-good shows with Stacia is getting to observe her facial reactions to the on-screen drama. When two people lean in for a long-anticipated kiss, Stacia tucks her knees into her chest and frowns with her forehead while lifting her chin and bottom lip. While I'm typically unable to suspend my disbelief, Stacia seems completely entranced by the various characters' emotions. Wishing I could join her in being swept aw

Who's Got The Funk?

I am an amateur guitarist, and I've got no funk. My musical skills seem to lacking that special something . Great musicians have it . Those fortunate enough to have gotten hold of  it , create timeless hits. While musicians without it  fade into oblivion. After spending hours searching through Blues history websites and 1970's band documentaries online, I discovered what that special something  is thank to a (70% Man, 30% fish) character from the BBC show "The Mighty Boosh" named Old Gregg. He identified that  thing  as  The Funk ! But what exactly is The Funk ? Here is some dialogue from the show to help explain its origin and purpose: Old Gregg: You're a musician, yeah? Howard: Yes I am. Old Gregg: Butchya ain't very good, are ya? Howard: I'm one of the best in town. Old Gregg: Come on, I read your reviews. Hmm? You know what your problem is? Howard: What? Old Gregg: Ya ain't got the funk. You're all rigid. Hmm? You're l
