Spring Break 2003

March 19, 2003 | Justin

A lot of you may be wondering where in the hell I’ve been. I mean, it’s been two weeks since my last post. Well, everyone can stop worrying, because yes, I am alive and doing quite well if you ask me. So where have I been? Well boys and girls, being a college student it becomes my annual right to take part in the glorious holiday known as Spring Break. That’s right, Spring Break. A wonderful week long holiday where everything else in the world is pushed aside and nothing but fun times are brought in. Spring Break 2003 (SB03) was quite momentous; numerous things happened — more so than can be expressed in this article. Though, for the purpose of entertainment and, well, history, I’ll see what I can do.

SB03 started with a little running around, a field that is. Ever try to play Frisbee at night? No? Well how about with a glow in the dark Frisbee? Still no? Well, let me tell you it doesn’t really work to well. Though, my friends and I had fun trying. There is nothing like running through a large, wet, grass field carrying a Frisbee in the middle of the night being chased by a half naked guy trying to catch you while girls are screaming “kill the man with the Frisbee.” So much fun. Good times, good times. On a side note I’ll have you know that at the end of that night (and by end I mean around 12:45 AM) I purchased The Boondock Saints for only $9.99 at Blockbuster video. Mad props to my man Wayne for finding it for me.

Well, that was the weekend before SB03 officially began. It’s always good to get going early; well, not always but sometimes and in this case it is true. Anyway, the main portion of SB03 consisted of my roommate Brian, my future roommate Mike, my friend Kyle, and I taking a week long trip to the wonderful world called Daytona Beach, Florida. We stayed in a great hotel called the Treasure Island Resort. The room had a full kitchen complete with pots and pans and such, had a balcony overlooking the ocean and, well all the other stuff hotel rooms have. Judging by the view from the balcony and the price we paid. I think it’s safe to say we won this week.

We pretty much spent the week hanging out with all the people in our hotel, who apparently were all from Ohio. We also found it in our best interest to laugh at, well, everyone for various reasons. One girl disserved our laughing at because she was, well, a Swamp Donkey (just picture it). Mike found it in himself to insult a deaf guy, Kyle, well, never mind. My good friend Casey (for those that don’t know Casey and I will be getting married when we turn 30) managed to come over and hang out one evening as did another friend Travis who’s car ended up getting towed in the process. Oh well, c’est la vie. I also managed to fit in an Atlanta Braves Spring Training game. Maddox pitched 4 innings of no hit ball and the Braves went on the beat the Dodgers 5-3.

On Friday, we left the Treasure Island Resort and headed for my house for the remainder of the weekend. The highlight of the final weekend of SB03 was the massive, if not epic, pool part thrown at my place last Saturday night. It was the first ever merging of my Orlando friends and my Tallahassee friends along with my brother, mom and step dad in the mix. It went over quite well if I do say so myself. There were a bunch of people there and I probably could count and give a complete number but, well, I choose not to (it’s late and I’m getting tired). It was a great time. Everyone ended up in the pool at some point, my mom and Caity shared some wine, tons of meat was consumed (except baby meat), and many poop stories were shared. It’s good when that happens because they are funny. Anyway, the pool party was a great cap for a great Spring Break.

I’m just going to end it here.

Fin.
