RSVP? We don't need no stinkin' RSVP.

There. Now nobody has an excuse not to show up. I mean it - you all better come. Beer, bonfire, games, karaoke, SWIMMING POOL, tents and maybe even Joe Cirnelli. Bring friends if you want. Bring whatever you want. If you're staying, then either bring a tent or stake out a couch somewhere in the house.

If anybody wants to help Rollo & I setup for this thing, I would GREATLY appreciate it.

Cya there. :-)

Thank you, Ali.

For a really cool weekend with some very cool people.

See, my friend Ali had a killer party over the weekend that succeeded in giving me the absolute worst hangover I've had in years. You've gotta tip your hat to a gal who can do that to you. :-)

Throughout the party I met some very cool ladies. Katie #1, Katie #2 & Liz made the party very interesting from the start. These West Chester ladies kicked off the party with Ali and myself in a grand game of circle of death. They use a different rulebook than we do, but it was awesome to say the least. These ladies also gave me the absolute WORST nicknames ever to grace my Crockness. Some of them include:

• Crockpot
• Crockroach
• Jon Burger

Even though the nicknames weren't exactly my cup of tea, they all totally won me over. They're a crew that I'll party with again anyday. Ladies - you're awesome.

We also had other festivities such as a flipcup tourney, dancing, flipcup-dancing (Rollo and our Katie) and I got to see a lot of other friends who I typically only see once or twice a year. The only real regret I have about this party is forcing myself to leave because I drank too much. I gotta start using better judgement...

Lastly, in hockey we played a few games on Monday night. We lost one and won the other. Becca and D came to the game to support my team. I wanna thank you girls for coming out. You're both the best. :-)

There's so much more to write about, but I'd rather just either save it for later or talk to you online about it. Hit me up on AIM. :-)

CYA!

Thank you, Russ.

For a weekend to remember. For a weekend that will forever live on in my heart. For a weekend I'd love to repeat for years to come. Dude, you kick ass. Thanks for including me in the festivities.

During the weekend we had 2 rounds of Karaoke. I placed first both times. I don't really mean to toot my own horn, but man I seriously love to sing and wish I could do it more often. I wish I was a lot better at singing than I am. No matter how much I practice (and this may come as a shock - but I practice A WHOLE BUNCH) I don't seem to get much better... Ah well...

I''m also looking for somebody---ANYBODY---to come and play catch. Granted I don't even so much as have a frisbee to my name, but I'll go get one (or a baseball or football or whatever) if I know somebody will come throw it with me. THIS IS AN OPEN INVITATION! Whoever wants to toss around a baseball or frisbee or whatever, just hit me up.

As for the rest of things, they're getting more and more perfect as the summer goes on. I don't think I've ever had such a good time in all my days walking this wonderful earth. So if you're reading this, GOD, keep up the amazing work!

Cya later.

Holy Cow.

Wow. Let's just jump right into this.

My buddy Russ won a pallet of beer. To commoners - that means roughly 25 cases. Ah, but my friend Russ is no commoner. This kid is a friggin genius. He takes his winnings very seriously. He gets about 18 cases of beer BUT the beer he chose ends up being some expensive stuff. From NewCastle to WoodChuck, he had a veritable beer feast. Needless to say, we had a very interesting evening. Oh and the best part is that we get to do it all over again tonight! We didn't even put a dent in that "beer mountain" as Russ put it. Whew! Good times all over the friggin place.

We also played Karaoke Revolution which I dominated from the second song I sang up until when I left around 2:30am. Maybe they were just easy-to-sing songs, but I still get a kick out of singing whenever and wherever I can.

I'm gonna either go play some frisbee today or maybe go run a few miles before the drinking resumes.

Later on.
