You know, I’m really not sure what happened to my weekend!  All I know is that I kept going all weekend yet I have nothing much to speak of except for yesterday.

Friday I had my best friend Kenny, who was in town from Atlanta for a couple of days, take me to pick up my car from Big O Dodge after getting the front windshield molding reset.  We hung out for a few as he was heading out to meet more friends at Gottrocks and I was heading over to Mikey’s new apartment where he was having a birthday party for his new lady friend, Kelly.  After only two hours or so, the cops came out because of noise complaints so the party disbursed with some going out to another party while Mikey, Kelly and others headed to Gottrocks.  I would have loved to have gone and hung out with Kenny some more since I rarely get to see him, but I was beat so I went home and passed out shortly after midnight.

I didn’t see the light of day until damn near noon Saturday!  I then came to the station to work on the local show while I was on the air.  Afterwards, I went to Beacon Ridge, the apartment complex Rebecca works at to do a little swimming with her co-workers and scarf down some grilled hot dogs!  We parted ways to change into dry clothes and then Becca came over to my apartment and we watched We Own the Night with Joaquin Phoenix and Mark Wahlberg.  As I expected, it was a great movie with a lot of tense moments and some partial nudity from the lovely Eva Mendes!

Yesterday, my cousin Ray and his wife Erin had a baby shower for their soon-to-be firstborn son.  Family and friends were out in droves!  I hung out and had some finger sandwiches, fruit, cake and punch - the only justifiable parts for a guy like me to show up to such events!  I then had to take off and head to Spindale, NC and host Sunday Night Live at the Foundation Performing Arts Center with Christian rockers DISCIPLE.  Before introducing the band, I sat in the back of the auditorium watching skits and commercial parodies while waiting to go backstage.  When intermission came, I got a call from Kris, one of the singers from my old band DEAD AT DAWN.  I answered and he asked where I was so I told him I was at the DISCIPLE show in NC to which he replied, “I know, but where are you?”.  At this point it dawned on me that he was there so we played Where’s Waldo for a few minutes until we found each other.  Shannon, the drummer from DEAD AT DAWN was with him as well being the two work together at Coca-Cola so we caught up for a few minutes before I had to go backstage and introduce the band.

I had always heard that DISCIPLE puts on an amazing and energetic show and they, by no means, disappointed me.  After the show, I joined Shannon, Kris and others for a little late dinner at the nearest McDonald’s and then headed home.  Rebecca called me while at the show and wanted me to stop by being she missed the baby shower due to some allergic reaction she had earlier that day and had passed out from the Benadryl she took.  I agreed, but only if I could challenge her to another round of Battleship since she had beat me the night before.  Lo and behold, she kicked my ass again!  I have never understood this, because my ex-girlfriend Sara used to beat me at the game all the time!  What gives?  I guess women are just naturally gifted at blowing things out of the water!  LOL!!!
