Merry New Years iFriends! That little "i" may separate you from B&M but I consider you all friends!
TigerFan, do you know me? I'd be surprised if anyone knew me from Ol' Yeller.
YSR, congratulations! I remember when I proposed to Katie she was the happiest woman in the world. Remember this moment because in about a week, he'll #### it all up like I did.
I would like to share a few highlights from the last 24 hours.
The priest that married the young couple also did the blessing before dinner. He talked about the sanctity of marriage and why the young couple was together. Then he said "Ok, let's get down to the real reason that Danny and Kristen got married. Kristen is horny"
The DJ played a TON of hip hop. At about 9:30, with plenty of old white people still hanging around on the dance floor. The uncensored version of 2Pac's "How Do You Want It" was played. The average age went from about 50 to about 28 in those four minutes.
Ran into an old GB from high school. He was a bigger drunk than I, believe it or not. We used to time ourselves doing beer bongs. The last memory I have is beating him 0.88 seconds to 0.91 seconds. The 0.90 barrier had been broken. It was like the 4 minute mile. He wouldn't stop talking about it last night and I wanted to punch him in the face. He's still that guy.
We didn't have a car there and our ride left at 12:05. So we stayed until 1 and decided to walk to a nearby bar to wait for a cab (2 hour wait). The bar....in Milwaukee....was closed. WTF? So we walked another mile or so to another bar. We got there at about 1:50 and the bouncer said "Just so you know, last call is in 10 minutes" WTF is wrong with the biggest drinking city in America? We go in because we're cold as #### and get a drink. We sit next to a really nice 60 year old man who would become our best friend.
He was pretty pissed about the bar closing. He wanted to go to another bar. We said we were walking and he said he would drive us. Fantastic.
So he drives us to the next bar about 2 miles away and we drink until about 4. He was like an old Disco Stu. He knew all the young hot ladies there and got about 10 kisses and even got my non-lesbian fiancee to make out with a smoking 25 year old. Then this nice man then drove us home. He was drinking beer then water then water then beer so he was absolutely sober.
We were tanked. Quite possibly the nicest person I've ever met. We invited him in for a beer and he played with our dog for a half hour and then drove back to the bar at like 5
Moral of the story? Be nice to the lonely old guy in the corner of a bar
We woke up about noon

and we're talking about the evening. There were plenty of laughs and Katie says "My face hurts". I said "Why?" She says "Because it's connected to my head"
Then we turn on the MSU v 'Bama game. She says "Wow, Michigan State is getting raped" I love my fiancee.
I'm going to jump in the shower and head back out. Go Badgers!!
Merry New Year!!!
