Last Night a DJ Frisbee Saved My Life (But Not From Alcohol)
EDIT: I will never post drunk again. I added links and translations of drunken-ese are in BOLD.

(Sober… kinda)
I went to Chicago yesterday morning for an early meeting and the skies were beautifully clear. The meeting ended without anything worth talking about… same old same old, but when I stepped outside to get into my car, it started raining cockerspaniels and benegals. It was RIDICULOUS. So I get on the highway and turn my wipers on, which incidentally, create LARGE amounts of static on my iTrip signal when the windshield wipers are almost vertical. Anyway, I sit there in traffic for 1.5 hours and I swear under my breath and exit on Harlem Ave. and head over to Oak Park to get something to eat.
I ordered the Farafalle Tuscano @ Pronto Roma (Casual dining Italian chain). The dish consisted of chicken, spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, toasted pine nuts on a bed of bow-tie pasta with a tomato cream sauce. I ate by the counter while the wait staff started asking me some random shit. “Menthols or Regulars?”, “Blonds or Brunettes?”, “Boxers or Briefs?”, it was the best ‘wait out the storm’ pit stop that I’ve had in a while.
(I think I’m buzzing here)
So the rain finally stopped, and I bid the ‘crew’ adieu and hopped in Madison (My car’s name) and IT STARTED SNOWING. Not ‘awww sooo cute snowflakes’, but ‘WHERE DID MY BABY GO snowflakes’. So instead of going home, I detoured back to my old ‘hood, only to play/watch Ghost Recon 2, Halo, and GTA: San Andreas.
(WTF am I doing
)
I just lost all motivation to write more or link to any of these interesting things in this post, but since it snowed, and I wasn’t prepared for it, my car was covered in 5 or 6 or 7 or 100 inches of snow. So I used a frisbee to scrape off my windows. I love overusing commas. I also love frisbees. They’re so versatile. They’re microwavable and dishwasher safe, you can use them as a dish for chips (or anything for that matter if you’re in college), snow scrapers, mini-sleds, and a cool hat. I used to have a cool hat, but someone took a lighter and burnt the metal clasp on the inside of the cap and it made my hair smell burnt all the time… or maybe that was me. hmm… sorry mark. RC cola is the most royal of all the colas. You might want to write that one down. You also might want to check if you have any nosehairs visible since yesterday. No one likes to see someone get sloppy with nose hairs.
