World Tour Part One

Sweet NASA motherfuck! I sure have experienced a lot in the last 8 days or so.

As I sit and wait for my flight to arrive in Philly, the only logical place to start is last weekend.

Last weekend my best friend of 13 years got married (in New Jersey of all places). The reality of the event was a little odd, but when everything was said and done, the whole deal was a total blast. Two very amusing stories came out of the weekend.

As a gift, Chris gave myself and the rest of his best men tickets to a red sox game. Being consistent with Chris's luck, it was a game that we already had tickets to. Worse yet, it was a game that I couldn't go to (using either of my 2 tickets) because I was going to be in Vegas (more on that later). Looking back, it wasn't a huge deal that I missed it - the sox broke their streak (probably because I wasn't there).

Story 2 was a meltdown by the priest at the wedding. He was a total dick at the rehersal, but it in no way prepared me for showtime. He went on this long tirade of how marriage is in crisis. He used the word divorce more times than even thought possible for such an event. He also said that a marriage without kids was INVALID, suggesting if the couple wasn't ready for kids, they should go home. The kicker was when he compared modern unions to adam and eve - with obvious intent he explained gods thoughts about the modern 'adam and steve'. I was angry and sick to my stomach - it was yet another reason why Chris's wedding will never be forgotten.

Part 2 to follow, my plane is about to take off. Warwick, here I come.
