Big Freaking Weekend

Got off work on Friday, rounded up the troops, headed to Mt. Vernon to watch "War of the Worlds". Ate at Applebees beforehand, good times were had, Boolah's girl Sarah got a little tipsy, which was very funny. Spent more than I shoulda on food. Went to Wallyworld, scored the new Shonen Jump (One Piece still continues to rule), went to the movie. "War of the Worlds" wasn't bad, but it wasn't really all that great either. The film is fairly suspenceful, and the alien machines are pretty kick ass, but there are a ton of plot holes, and Dakota Fanning screams WAY too much. Saw a preview for Peter Jackson's "King Kong" as well, and it looked pretty kick ass.

Saturday, me and the big, scary, hairy guys rolled to the ass end of Illinois. We crossed the bridge into Kentucky, scored fireworks, and I picked up a copy of the "Orgazmo" Special Edition DVD. Returned to Illinois, went to Brookport, watched a Chaos Pro Wrestling show. It was a Free Show in the Brookport Park, in the middle of a baseball diamond. The show was a bit disorganized, but despite that, the CPW crew still put on a hell of show. Like I've said, CPW is hands down the best wrestling federation I've encountered in the Southern Illinois area. After the show, we went to Metropolis to the Casino boat. Paid way too much for a lackluster buffet, and then did some gambling. I played nickel slots and actually made some money. Ha-ha!

Sunday, rolled up to Fitch's house for the 2nd Annual "Fitch of July". We grilled out, stuffed ourselves, and lit fireworks. The only downside to the weekend was that the fireworks we bought in Kentucky sucked ass. They were all just a bunch of glorified sparklers. We made for this problem by doing stupid stuff like jumping over fireworks as they were throwing sparks, and holding fireworks that are designed to be placed on the ground. See, fun is where you find it. Wrapped up the night by playing Poker, and I actually won the first game.

Today is July 4th, so it'll be steaks and more explosions. Rock!!!!
