Smoke and Mirrors

Leave the ties at home but if you really insist, make sure its camo. It was a great weekend to be home. My cousin got married and there is nothing better than a wedding. Dad, NB, and I got some golf in before the ceremony so thats always a good thing. Anyways, we got to the church, visited with some relatives, you know the standard questions and answers. "Hows school?" "Do you like New York?" That sort of thing. The service or whatcha call it started. Genna (my cousin) looked beautiful in her dress. The groomsmen all had camo vests and ties on...kinda gives you an idea of how country this wedding was. The ceremony finished and the siblings and I went to the Nittany mall to find an ATM because we heard it was going to be cash bar at the reception. This really sounds like an alcoholic's memoir but hey..it was a wedding..live it up drink it down right?

When we got to the reception hall I immediately unhinged the vice grips attached to my feet, damn dress shoes, and I changed into my basketball sneakers. The meal was good, and afterward, the festivities began. The music was pretty lame overall until the older people cleared out. They cleared out and we got a good dose of mid 2000s hiphop. The soulja boy "crank that" dance got things started off and the night took flight from there. The dance floor was everyone's main attraction for the rest of the night except the for the frequent trips back to the tables for some cold drink (Hawaiian punch of course).

About halfway through the night I noticed the one bride's maid making eyes at me. Not going to lie, I did notice her during the ceremony so I thought to myself "Okay, this is good." In actuality, judging by the state I was in at the time, it was probably more like, "LETS GOOOOOO!!!" Anyways, I introduced myself and we danced together for the rest of the night. She seemed pretty cool, we had a good time, and don't think that me knowing hold old she was (24 or 25) was going to phase me. Where was I? Right, so we danced, had a good time, and then out of nowhere she disappeared, smoke and mirrors. I asked my cousin where she went and she was like, "I think her friend drove her home." Bummer. So in my mind I'm thinking, "Okay, either she found out how old I am or...... Yep thats all I got. She must have found out that when she was graduating high school I was still plotting strategy for kickball games at recess." Well I later found out that she had a boyfriend. You win some you lose some.

Okay, so everyone went back to Genna's place to sleep for the night. I lucked out and claimed a couch. Everyone laid around and talked for awhile before we called it a night. Everyone called it a night, everyone except my subconscious. Only sleepwalkers can relate to this, so I'll try and explain things. When I wake up in the morning there are certain clues let me know if crazy events were going on in the night. So here we go. I'll tell you what I remember, then I'll fill in what other people observed. So I wake up at about 4 a.m and I'm freezing, didn't have a blanket, and I couldn't see a thing. I had sunglasses on. This is one of those clues where I go, "O crap, what did I do last night." So I took off my shades and tried to go back to sleep but I was frozen. I looked around and everyone else had these huge blankets and they looked so warm. So I searched around, but the only thing I could find was this little animal suit thing. (Genna has a little boy and a baby by the way) So I lay back down and I tried to put my arms in the little animal suit, which really didn't provide the warmth I was looking for so I had to suck it up and tough it out til morning came. When I woke up my sisters, NB, and GG informed me of the events of the night. Apparently at some point I sat up and started yelling "HEY COME BACK HERE" talking to my smoke and mirrors girl no doubt. Anyways, from what I understand, NB said "Bryan what are you doing?" and I responded with "I have to pee." So he told me to go to the bathroom and I came back with "I don't want to step on the cat." Genna doesn't own a cat just to clear that up. I think Kristen lead me to the bathroom because she was afraid I was going to pee in some random place inside, which I have never done by the way. I have a very good sense of direction while sleepwalking. So that was the main event of my weekend. I had a great time. Congratulations to Genna and Eric.

Cheers,
