all I got to say is: the payment is worth acquiescence; again, trust me on this).\u00c2\u00a0 I did pretty decent:\u00c2\u00a0 4th place but once again one place shy of the money.\u00c2\u00a0 Branden won 3rd and received $100 for his effort.\u00c2\u00a0 Second place took $150 and &#8220;evil&#8221; Mike won $350.\u00c2\u00a0 It was a long-ass tourney that started from 6 PM to 11 PM.\u00c2\u00a0 Jen called me a couple of times to find out if I was on my way to Flashbacks, which I hadn&#8217;t even asked Brian about yet because he said either poker or dancing but not both!<\/p>\n<p>Believe it or not, I managed to talk him into going to Flashbacks too!\u00c2\u00a0 Branden went with us (as you heard on the previous audio post).\u00c2\u00a0 He got bored though, so we let him take my car home.\u00c2\u00a0 Not the best idea in the world considering he&#8217;s not allowed to drive but it was the least we could do since Flashbacks isn&#8217;t really his kind of place.\u00c2\u00a0 As old as Branden is, he prefers teeny boppers at Grahams.\u00c2\u00a0 What a perv!<\/p>\n<p>Brian told me that he almost got Branden pulled over while giving him instructions to get out of the parking lot.\u00c2\u00a0 He had him going the wrong way on 2nd St and didn&#8217;t realize it until he saw a cop car drive by.\u00c2\u00a0 He ran (now, you have to consider how major this is because Brian doesn&#8217;t run; not even when playing racquetball) to the car which was stopped at the intersection, effectively startling Branden.\u00c2\u00a0 He had to tell Branden to turn around because he was going the wrong way!\u00c2\u00a0 We can&#8217;t afford to get Branden pulled over, not just because he&#8217;s in my car, but because he&#8217;ll go to jail for good!\u00c2\u00a0 He&#8217;s not supposed to be driving at all!\u00c2\u00a0 Not even to work!\u00c2\u00a0 Not anywhere!\u00c2\u00a0 At any rate, I wish I could&#8217;ve witnessed this because I probably would&#8217;ve laughed my ass off!\u00c2\u00a0 Just the thought of Brian running up to the car amuses me as I sit here and type up this post.<\/p>\n<p>We actually stayed at Flashbacks after last call which is out of the ordinary for us.\u00c2\u00a0 Our normal MO is to leave at midnight <em>a la<\/em> Cinderella.\u00c2\u00a0 But then, we didn&#8217;t arrive until almost midnight and I needed at least a couple of hours worth of dancing and booty shaking to satiate my desire to look absolutely foolish on the dance floor.\u00c2\u00a0 There&#8217;s nothing more satisfying than embarrassing Brian in front of other drunk people.\u00c2\u00a0 I don&#8217;t know why he cares.\u00c2\u00a0 They look a lot more retarded than we do!\u00c2\u00a0 Maybe I just like pushing his buttons.\u00c2\u00a0 LOL!<\/p>\n<p>We had to pick up my car from Branden&#8217;s on the way home.\u00c2\u00a0 He lives at Ponderosa, right by us, so it&#8217;s not too far.\u00c2\u00a0 Although, we stayed and chatted a while so we didn&#8217;t get home until after 2 AM.\u00c2\u00a0 Brian wanted repayment and actually voiced his concern (about me passing out as soon as we got home) while we were driving home.\u00c2\u00a0 I assured him that he would receive his payment and that I would be fine.\u00c2\u00a0 Umm..\u00c2\u00a0 He was right.\u00c2\u00a0 I zonked as soon as I hit the bed so he hasn&#8217;t received any payment yet whatsoever for relenting to my whims the past couple of weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Today, I got my way again!\u00c2\u00a0 Some people just don&#8217;t learn their lesson, I guess.\u00c2\u00a0 Just kidding!\u00c2\u00a0 I managed to talk Brian into taking me to see the Swing! production at Century II.\u00c2\u00a0 At $42, it&#8217;s more expensive than going to the movies but the show was definitely worth every penny.\u00c2\u00a0 It&#8217;s the most awesome dancing I&#8217;ve seen in a long time!<\/p>\n<p>Brian did a bit of whining about how I have yet to pay him for his being so compliant.\u00c2\u00a0 And I go, &#8220;It&#8217;s my birthday month!\u00c2\u00a0 I&#8217;m entitled to it!&#8221;\u00c2\u00a0 I think at this point, trying to get out of having to pay is worth a shot because I&#8217;ve been lucky so far!\u00c2\u00a0 LOL!<\/p>\n<p>Ugh.\u00c2\u00a0 There is so much more to write about &#8211; and so very little time!\u00c2\u00a0 Brian just got done playing video games and he will ask to go to bed any minute now!\u00c2\u00a0 I&#8217;m going to bed for now and I&#8217;ll just catch you all up next time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I can&#8217;t keep up with blogging because there is so much happening right now.\u00c2\u00a0 And the events just happen so fast that by the time I have a moment to blog about it, something else more interesting has transpired.\u00c2\u00a0 But then sometimes, the dilemma is whether to share or not to share.\u00c2\u00a0 If it were [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[10,16],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/brubakers.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/235"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/brubakers.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/brubakers.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brubakers.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brubakers.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=235"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/brubakers.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/235\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/brubakers.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=235"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brubakers.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=235"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brubakers.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=235"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
