I’m in my mid-twenties

So, I’m officially in my mid-twenties.

I have about a half an hour left in my 24th birthday, and I must say, this “Birthday Weekend” has been pretty awesome. On Friday night, a bunch of my friends and I went to Musashi for dinner. If you haven’t been there, you have to go! It’s a tappanyaki restaurant (that means they make the food in front of you and do ninja stuff with the cooking instruments), and it’s so effing good, I can’t even describe it. When my friends told the cook that we were all there for my birthday, he summoned the waitress and said, “Penis.”

Uhhhh WTF? Penis?

Then, the lady brought out this huge metal penis-shaped pan. The cook shoved the rice in it and flipped it over, leaving a giant sticky rice whoo-haaa. Then, he sprinkled pepper on the balls for pubes, and squirted a whitish mayo sauce on the head of the weeny. OMG, effing hilarious. I’m not sure what that has to do with my birthday though…

Afterwords, we went over to Amir/Ryan’s house, haha same hosts as last year. They’re the best. Ryan was out of town, so Amir hosted on his own. We played drinking games and talked of course, and halfway through one conversation, I had to tweet about how much I needed more girlfriends… The topic that spurred on this thought was the debate between “landing strip or clean shaven.” I looked around, and it was 10 guys and two girls. Obv, story of my life. It seemed that the overall consensus was  that they prefer “clean” but the strip works just as well.. either that or they were afraid of admitting that they only liked it bare because of the pedophile accusations that would most likely follow. Then, one of our friends, whose identity I shall keep anonymous, seems to always have the dissenting opinion, and this topic was no different. His point of view, “Doesn’t matter. Bring on the bush!” Ew imo.

On Saturday, Andrew and I took little Dallas to the dog park. She effing loves that place. Her butt wags so hard that I think she’s going to fall over sometimes. After that, we went to a hole-in-the-wall English bar called Crown and Anchor which is east of the Strip. It was the ONLY place in the entire state of Nevada showing the USA vs. Honduras World Cup qualifying game (that’s soccer if ya’ll didn’t know. I’m a foot-fairy lover, say somethin!). It was INCREDIBLE! Not only was it one of the best soccer games I’ve ever seen, but the energy in that bar was off the charts. Long story short, we won, so USA is heading to South Africa for the World Cup this summer. Sweeeeet.

Wanting to carry the buzz further, a bunch of the Card Player crew went to Sahara to play the 11 p.m. tournament. It’s a $45 buy-in. You get 4,500 in chips and can add 2,000 on for $20 anytime during the first hour. It’s a PERFECT way to get hamboned, play some poker, have fun, and maybe win some money! I got drunk two levels in, and my poker skills are disgusting when I drink, that’s why I’m not allowed to play cash games if I’m tipping the beer. Anyway, I went out with three tables left out of the seven that started, but three of the crew made the final table, including Andrew’s bro Tmo. He ended up chopping with Shawn Patrick Green who you may know as the former Card Player TV host of the Online Zone. I was, of course, slurring profanities and drunken nonsense from the rail. My word of choice was deebo because earlier in the night, Andrew was talking to Tmo about that word (from the movie Friday) and debating whether or not it was in the Urban Dictionary so Andrew looked it up… this is what he found.

Deebo- To be defiled, defamed, owned, tricked by a ruse, or to suffer bad fortune.

Example: “I nutted in this bitch’s face, deeboed her makeup.”

So today, on my actual birthday, we woke up early to watch the Cowboys game. We won in overtime! Great way to start the day! After that Andrew and I ate Korean BBQ, went shopping, and watched The Truth About Lying. We also met up with a friend of his that he went to high school with, and now, I’m exhausted.
