Good weekend. I went to Mick/Frances' wedding. Minh and Cz came up, and we met up with Brian, Drew, Shane, Mick (of course). Saw some other high school peoples as well. Here are the highlights:
-The ceremony lasted SIX MINUTES. I'm not kidding. How fucking awesome is that.
-The wedding was smaller, with the total guest count being 125. The venue was nice. It looked like they were getting married in someone's large house. There were appetizers, a cocktail hour with free wine, beer, and mojitos, a dance floor, etc. It was nice.
-The centerpieces had REAL grapes in them, and drunk Cz picked out some for us to eat. They were good.
-Cz saying "FUCK THAT SHIT!" and threatening me. okay maybe that shouldn't be a highlight.
-The softest dinner napkins ever. Cz, Brian, and I must have looked weird rubbing our legs and making faces like "aaaaahhh...."
-Minh, cz, brian, shane, drew - everybody was buzzed. It was fun.
-Cz throwing a cracker across the room.
-Minh poking the cheese saying "What the fuck is this?"
-Battling the best man Marc on the dance floor. Nice moves, sir.
-Chilling with minh, cz, brian outside
-Minh and Brian chasing the deer away.
-The creepy DJ trying to dance with the bridesmaids near the end. wtf.

I had a GREAT time. It was seriously the best, most fun wedding I've been to yet. I'm going to be going to some more weddings this year, and I wonder if they'll be as fun as this wedding was. It was FUCKING AWESOME to catch up with a lot of my old high school friends. I agree with Drew's statement that it's amazing to see how easily it is for all of us to just fall back into our old routines.

There were some cute bridesmaids, but most of them were taken. Alas, such is life. The simple fact is the west coast single guy to single girl ratio is like fuckin' 10-1 , where as the east coast is the exact opposite (I'm not just saying that either.) It's too bad I didn't grow up in New York or Boston. Being the numbers are what they are, it's much more likely that if you meet a girl here who is cute and cool, well she probably has a boyfriend. Shoot, maybe I SHOULD move to the east coast.

anyways, the wedding was cool. It was just what I needed.

It's almost scary how with everything being tied up, I just don't care. I hope it's a sign of maturity and not just trying to avoid shit.

People show you who they really are in their actions. Their weaknesses, their strengths, what they believe is right and wrong. It makes it easier to know what to expect from people. What I am afraid of is that with some peoples patterns may form. That would not be good.

Explore to find what the best is in the world around you and put yourself in the position to be in the presence of those things as much as possible. I truly believe this will help you to develop into a better and happier person. I'm doing this and am going to continue to do this.
