Who is this Marty that keeping going out and being so social? I miss the stay at home curl up with a nice movie or book Marty. I look forward to the working his ass off at his job Marty. Friday night I met up with my new friends and had dinner at Baby As. Ericka, Karina, Monica, Joselo and Oscar all met up with some co-workers and we listened to a live Spanish Pop (rock?) band. The music was good, but I wish I knew the words better. I not not good at listening to spanish lyrics. I had just come off a long night celebrating with Abram (what we were celebrating I really don't know), so I was staying away from the drinking and nursing a headache. Maybe college Marty would of fared better now a days. After dinner we met up at Monica's house. Did I mention they got a new car will built in navigation and a cool camera that lets you see when you are backing up. Karina started to open up more and when she gets talking she is very cool. I'm not saying she isn't cool when she is quiet, but it was hard to get to know her. Maybe I try to size people up too much and quiet people always pose a threat to that. Maybe I am just a conversation sucker and I think there is a lot I can learn from how other people see the world. We all enjoyed spanish music, spanish conversation and later some pool. No matter where I am at, my spanish is always the worst it seems, but on this night their co-worker didn't mind listening to my broken spanish and letting me practice. He was from Mexico but is doing really well for himself in the US. I got home late and learned that sometimes even if you don't drink, if you are tired you still need to worry you might not be driving at your best. I got home safe though. My sleeping patterns are not getting better.
Friday was also a big day for young/little girls around the country including my niece Sarah. I know nothing about this show of High School Musical, but I know it was a big deal to my niece. My sister called me to tell me they were having a big party to watch I guess part 2 on the Disney channel. Here is my link for a good news story. "'High School Musical 2' most-watched cable program ever" http://www.sltrib.com/ci_6659597 Girls all around the country had parties and made records and I still have no clue what HSM is, but feel it is still worth mentioning.
Rick came into town to see some of his law school friends. On Saturday I met up with him and we went over to his friend's house to hang out. It is always great hanging out with lawyers who are my age and are all examples of options or roads I can take in my life. We planned to see Superbad, but the night started off with Guitar Hero. I had never played and the people there were experts in my opinion, but it is a fun and addictive game. I met some really cool people and got to talk Immigration with Ana, Labor with Santiago and played a board game I had never played before which was really fun. Think it is called Apples to Apples. We played poker and I won, which was fun since I play poker. Rick's friend Mamie brought her sister's dog and that was a trip watching it interact with Carol's dogs. I'm thinking about getting a puppy in the next year, just not sure what type (feeling husky, but maybe too big and not a good idea in the hot), indoor or outdoor? and if I am up to the responsibility of dog ownership. Not to mention that I already have two pets.
Sunday I slept in and then an old friend picked me up to see a movie I had been wanting to see and didn't get to see on Saturday. She is more the outdoorsy type, but I really wanted to see Superbad since it had been on my list so there were no exciting adventures. We first went down to San Marcos where I feel like I have been more than I have been to downtown Austin since I have been here. We had a late lunch at River Pub and I learned about what she has been up to. Everyone outside was playing in the lake, which made me think that I didn't really know all the lakes and rivers in this area. Outdoor water activities are a big deal here yet I don't know if I am a big fan yet. I still have a lot to learn. After lunch we checked out a local Tavern where I was excited to find out that the UFC fight next week will be airing. I think I might go by and see it. Later I got an abbreviated tour of the Texas State campus. In Abram's years there I never really saw the campus except during his graduation. It is a really nice campus, but I was not fond of all the hills, maybe because of the walking. When I got home, Oscar and Danny where BBQing. I haven't BBQed in a long time, when I'm more stable I think I'm gonna have a good BBQ on a Sunday during the Cowboys game.
Sometimes you feel like you know exactly what to expect, others you are totally surprised. The same I think with how you see people, situations or life decisions (jobs). Maybe it is like drinking, you know it will start out really fun and get a lot better as your decision making gets worse. Somehow once you have drank too much all you want is more, but the next day you promise never to drink again. You'll look bad with fond memories, but you would probably of still done it differently you think....but yet you don't.
