The Lost Weekend

This past weekend was so lost that I have still not recovered from it, and it is now Wednesday. For the past two nights, I have passed out on my couch just after 7:00pm (I haven't made it through the first inning of the Sox game either night!) and slept through the entire night. That is absurd, even for me.

In my last post I talked a little about the Sox/Yankees game I went to... we lost, which was okay because we had a blast anyway, and there were still 3 games left in the series. On Friday night I caught the game at a bar across from Fenway Park and met up with a co-worker and his friends afterwards (they were all at the game). That was the night of the 17-1 blowout, so that wouldn't have been a great game to go to anyway. After a long night of debauchery, I woke up relatively early Saturday morning to attend the game at 1:20pm, which we of course lost again. So, I figured, why not have a few beers, go home and shower, turn right around and go to a Major League Lacrosse game! So we did. Then we had a few more beers, and went to this crazy bar after the game (for the "after party"... apparently lacrosse players have a lot of tube-top wearing groupies!). Another night of debauchery ensues, and... well I overslept for work the next day. But I made, eventually.

In all, none of the stuff I needed to do - see last post - got done. So here I am, Wednesday, 10 days before I pack up all my shit and move it to Ithaca, and I JUST started packing last night. Clearly I didn't get too far since I fell asleep just after 7.

One final note. Extremely weird, "paradigm-shifting" things keep happening to me. I use the prior phrase in quotes because it is kind of cliche but entirely fitting. I won't go into detail, but this weekend is another example of how things (good or bad, but fortunately mostly good) keep blind-siding me. I feel like I am constantly pinching myself, saying, "Is this really happening?" But it is. What to do with it all, I have no idea, except to enjoy the ride. I'm outta here in 3 1/2 weeks... might as well go out with a bang!
