Kansas City Wrap Up
Five days in Kansas City makes me realize that I need to get my ass moved there asap. It’s nothing particularly special about Kansas City that makes this come to mind, it’s more the lack of substance in St. Joseph. The funny part about it was that I actually was quite sick and I worked three out of those five days while battling a nice throat cold.
Now that I am getting some hour cuts at my real job, I have possibly picked up two more jobs. I think I’ll be going up to KC every other week to work for my brother at the print shop; then there is the CAD drawings that I will start working on for my Dad. I also have to get more familiar with web design and find someones brain to pick. I have the basic skills for it and plenty of extra time to pick up the rest. All this plus my personal studies is keeping me quite occupied which is new for me. Usually I have far too much time to kill, and far too few things to kill it with. I guess this will be a trial run at KC living, though I will be basically at the beck and call of my brother due to lack of a drivers license, and sleeping on his couch.
Other happenings during the KC trip was the original reason for going, and that was a show at the Riot Room with Flee the Seen and some other metal bands which I didn’t really listen to. I got a fair bit intoxicated by no fault of my own. Apparently since I am rarely out in public it means that I must be given shots by anyone who knows me. Who am I to turn down such gratious offers? I think at one point I was even doing shots with the owner of the joint and my brother. Overall it was a good time, super crowded but still fun.
Then Tuesday night I got to hang with Crystal and have some sushi. Did some catching up on lifes happenings. She is in the pro move Micah to Kansas City area, and is wanting to find a nice pretty girl as leverage. Unfortunately I have no time for a girl in my life and I really don’t see a time opening up anytime in the near future. I can’t even remember the last time I was dating someone during the holidays, I don’t think it has happened since high school. After our sushi we went to The Brick for Bingo with Alicia Solo hosting and Kenton met us as well. We enjoyed a few drinks (well actually I didn’t enjoy mine at all) and some good free bingo action.
Wednesday night was spent mostly on the couch because RL kept delaying my pickup so I could work. I ended up not working and just watched a few movies til he got home. We decided to have dinner and drinks at McCoys with his girlfriend Lisa. McCoys is a very solid resteraunt if I do say so myself. I had Mom’s Mac and Cheese and one the brews and was more than satisfied. After dinner and conversation we opted to go see Quantam of Solace on the Plaza. The movie was quite entertaining, but I felt it didn’t really explain what the fuck was going on for the most part. I’d give it a 7/10 for action and for Daniel Craig being a bad mothafucka.
That’s the wrap up for my little outing, it has been awhile since I’d left the house for social events. I forgot how much I enjoy good social outtings. Let’s see I guess I can leave with a jam I’ve been listening to recently…
