thanksgiving

Luckily I had the entire week of Thanksgiving off, unluckily that was the week I got back from Croatia and a 9 hour time change. When I came back from Budapest I was adjusted in 1 day, but it took until the Saturday after thanksgiving for me to get readjusted. Monday I got home about 430 and went to bed until 6. I was awoken by my grandma yelling at me for sleeping, "Working men shouldn't be asleep in the afternoon." I'm no man nor do I work GRANDMA! Tuesday I got up before anyone in the house and pretty much did homework. Luckily for me the University of Amsterdam posted most of the answers for my Java course, so whenever I got stuck I could just use their work, change some variables and change the name and viola, passing grade. Tuesday a few of us went to Thirstys which is Jugs' favorite. Tino, Richard, Rene, Hash, Luis, Carla, and Guns went. Rene and I lost horribly at foosball. I also lost badly at billiards. Wednesday I again woke up before the rooster and pretty much everyone was coming home that day. Except for Cousin Paul. Cousin Paul is the smartest retardest cousin I have. He has that title because he does not know how to make, book, or catch a flight. Paul was slated to come home Wednesday to Sunday of Thanksgiving, so he booked the last Wednesday of November to come, unfortunately for him Thanksgiving was on the third weekend of November this year. According to Paul, he was taught in school that Thanksgiving was on the last week of November, generally that's true, but not always. Poor fledgling US education system. So he got home Wednesday but was leaving on Friday and was returning home via plane and train and possibly bus or subway. Poor Paul Paul. Wednesday we tried to go to ale house and to mavericks but we didn't leave until late and on Thanksgiving eve, you have to go out early. No one wanted to go to Rana's even though they were open and they have a liquor license, so we ended up going to Hash's. Thursday Zeke and Mom went to the Parade and got annihilated, luckily for us mom made thanksgiving dinner the day before. Thanksgiving was held at Cousin Marks house, drew, Helen, Cousin Paul and Cousin Mark were there. Food was excellent like always, watched the Cowboys, they won and this was the first time they had ever been 11-1. Good on them I guess. I can't remember what we did Thanksgiving evening, maybe I shouldn't write these things so far after the fact, but it very well could have been hash's apartment, a lot of things involve that guys house. Friday I played some racquetball and then I think we went to Kush or Hemingways, gosh this is really turning into the worst blog ever and there won't be any pictures so Escobar will totally hate on me. Saturday it snowed all day and it stuck all day. Usually El Paso snow melts by noon noon thirty but not this day it was hella cold. Saturday night we went to Luis' new apartment and watched a documentary called Zeitgeist which means spirit of the time, and it was about how Christianity, 9/11, and the Fed are related. Little bit out there, but definitely interesting. It's the number 1 documentary on google video, watch it if you have nothing better to do. Sunday I went home kind of early because I needed to do grocery shopping and do some more homework. Well that sort of badly wraps up Thanksgiving. I'll try to remember more of the next trip.

Still handsome after all these years,
