Damn...2 weeks have already passed and no blogging...why...cause girl was saving her energy for LAS VEGAS BABY!!! I didn't go by myself of course...I had to bring 11 other women with me! hahahahha We stayed at the Alladin in a suite w/ a connector room.. As far as bed space....welp let's just say we had 2 king beds, 4 sofas and 3 rollaways to accomodate everyone....The bathroom situation...welp...it wasn't 2 bad THANK GOD!!! We only had 2 1/2 baths and get this....the damn shower door was GLASS!!!! NICE!!!! peek-a-boo i see YOU!!!

Friday night....we head out to the Pool Lounge at the Palms Hotel.... We got there late so there wasn't anyone really gettin their groove on, they were all trying to get into Rain, which is the club next door. It was nice to chill poolside w/ a drink in the nice warm air. They were playin some hip hop which was pretty cool... The rest of the girls had just flown in and were meeting us there. But the Pool Lounge was closin up so we decided to try to get into Rain. NO LUCK!!!

The girls finally roll up after paying a $55 dollar LIMO RIDE to fit all 10 of them... hahahhaha... Next time..take a cab...it'll only cost $15!!! Since Rain was all packed w/ peeps in the front we go right next door to the Ghostbar... Mind you this is all in the Palms Hotel... 3 CLUBS right next to each other...how convenient... hahahha

There's 13 of us rollin into Ghostbar and all ladies....we end up getting in free... But get this ...while we're waiting in line I see MARIO LOPEZ ....A.C. SLATER from Saved By the Bell get into the elevator.... and the boucer says, "that's not him, that's an impersonator, he's always here." I'm like...WHATEVER.....who the hell would impersonate Mario Lopez...he ain't that big!! hahaha

So we ride up the elevator, the door opens, and we hear HIP HOP...THANK GOD!!!! This place is pretty plush... you've got your Tom Cruise lookin bartenders, velvet couches, and then Mario Lopez and Marlon Wayans pass right in front of us!!! WHOH DAMN!!! What the hell!!!! The ladies go CRAZY like teenagers!!! hahahhahah I myself...hit the bar!!!! Waitin all that time...I need to catch up to these faded ones!! There's also an outdoor patio with a bad ass view of Vegas... really nice... w/ 2 more mini bars on each side....

We dance a little, Marlon Wayans starts freakin some of the girls....heeeeeeeeey SANDWICH!!! HAHAHA Then we finally notice...hey...we're the only ones dancin....and a few other peeps...This place seems to be more of a "rubbin elbows" kinda scene... It must be since the REAL WORLD LAS VEGAS crew was filmin too!!! We might just be in the back ground in the next season...woo hoo!!!!! It's 5 am and it's time to go back to the hotel... We all get into this big ass hot tub...NO YOU PERVS.....to SOAK OUR FEET!!! hahhaha NICE!!!!

It's Saturday and we only get about 5 hours of sleep and hit the pool!!!! And talk about "Heeeeeeeeeeeeello BOYS!!" After baskin in the sun, peepin muscular dudes and hairy dudes..hahahhaha...it's time to get ready for dinner and a night on the town. We hit up The Light at the Bellagio. We were suppose to get in free, but the bouncers were being dicks so it cost us $30 bucks to get in!!! ASS!!! So we get in...playin hip hop and the damn drinks cost $15 BUCKS!!!! SHIET....thank god i drank mostly at the hotel...This was a nice club too but the bouncers sucked and the couches that were available were only reserved for VIP!!!!

So we bounce and it gets chaotic...we trek to RA at the Luxor and i mean we TREKKED!!!! Frickin A, if you guys know Vegas you know that's a long ass haul... We get to RA and there's a long ass line, so we take a cab to Baby's at Hard Rock. This place is ooooooooook...not the greatest...Small ass hip hop room but they're playin the classics...not RADIO CRAP....and then they have they're house room... Unfortunately, the ladies are not havin it and they bounce and me and Dickhead end up stayin... and what comes next...well I just need to tell you in person and demonstrate....It involves, me, Dickhead and 3 Sherriffs from Boston!!!! hahahhahaha

Our last night, Sunday night we hit the town and end up at House of Blues at Mandalay Bay. Sunday's is Industry Night so it's pretty cool... Hip hop upstairs and mainly Top 40's downstairs. It's 20 bucks to get in. Not too bad...I on the other hand don't remember much...except for dancing on stage w/ PAULY SHORE!!!! All I know is that we had a blast!!!! Not too much drama...sorry folks. I know you were looking forward to some stories, but you gotta wait to see me in person to hear about it.... It's just too much to write... or you just have to hit Vegas yourself and come back with your own.hahaha....till next time...

The Weekender is BACK!!!! YIPPY!!!! I finally am able to go back to eating and drinking whatever I want.... I got my test results back last week and they came back normal...so what does that mean??? Well I had an ulcer...and ulcer's just don't happen... they build up and I guess that SAKE night took it over the top and got irritated... So NO MORE SAKE BOMBS till NEXT YEAR.... hahahhaha

So of course I had to go out on Friday....It was my girl's b-day and she rented out Steff's, which is located on 2nd and Mission, right across from 111 Minna, as some of you may have known it as Eklectic back in the days. So what's the set up for Steff's... Welp you walk in and it practically looks like Boone's...oops excuse me the Blue Triangle...is that what they call it nowadays.. So anyways...it's just backwards where the bar is on the right side instead of on your left... And it's a long bar... 3 bartenders...you've got 2 tv's overhead, a big ass screen on one end so you can show a movie of whatever you like... One time I was there and they were showing cartoon PORN!!!! hahahhaha

So we get there at 10pm and of course I get pimp parking AGAIN.... Right in front.... FYI....it's sometimes difficult to find parking in this area since you've got 111 Minna, NV and Sound Factory in the near vicinity...As far as a cover, since it was a private party, my girl didn't charge... and this place doesn't always have parties... It usually closes at 10pm. I start my night off w/ a drink and I had 3 more drinks after that....and I was still COOL!!!! NO PUKIN FOLKS.....I paced myself this time around and I wasn't poppin shots!!! THANK GOD!!!

The night went pretty cool...until a FIGHT BROKE OUT....right when it CLOSED!!!!! Can you believe that crap..... Well what do you expect...frickin peeps be drinkin hella and havin a temper.... So who cares if someone fronted you.....You're a better man to just walk away..... Who gives a F#$K about PRIDE....EAT IT UP!!!! It's funny....Boy Wonder was w/ me in the shivering cold waitin for our friends, and as he saids...."If a guy rolls solo to a club/party and is fronted by some fool, he'd most likely walk away, but if a guy has his "back up" he's goin to punk a fight." Those weren't his exact words...but pretty close...Y'all get the idea right???

Since I've been on a restricted diet....especially ALCOHOL.....that didn't keep me from goin out on Friday night... It was my girl's b-day and she was having her soiree at the Beer Cellar, which is located on the corner of Sutter and Taylor. If you know the city, you know parking is ASS!!! But you know this chica had to roll in late and of course got PIMP PARKIN right IN FRONT!!!! How sweet is that!!!!

Well I guess on Friday nights, it's a $5 cover, no dress code (a BIG PLUS for the guys, since they're the ones who hate dressin up), and they have hip-hop in the small room, which of course got hella packed and STAR and ALICE music playin in the main room, which there was lots of elbow room. There's also ONE POOL TABLE for those who aren't into dancing and also a coat check for that extra baggage you brought w/ you....

Because I wasn't drinkin, of course i'm DESIGNATED DRIVER.... and let me tell you.....the WHOLE NIGHT....I drank cran on the rocks!! hahhahaha I must say....I did not get tempted to drink any alcohol...I think it was because my system was still not 100% normal. But obviously the birthday girl had one too many drinks of all sorts... We were in the hip hop room were there's a bunch of couches.. She sat her ass down and bent over and just PUKED HER GUTTS OUT.....You see the people on the dance floor just move to the other side of the room... She became the main attraction!!! That crap was smellin like FUNK...all mixed in w/ the body heat that was already there... Let's just say hella peeps when outside to get a BREATH OF FRESH AIR!!!!

It's kinda funny, when you are totally SOBER, it's such a different scene... You feel all the discomforts that you wouldn't if you were drunk, such as your dogs barkin, smellin everyone's burp/ or barf, your back hurtin from standin in one place too long just to name a few. Then there's the conversations that you have w/ people. Everyone around is laughing there ass off and here I am..." I don't get what's so funny..." "that wasn't funny at all".. "you're talking non-sense" hahahahhaha

We got there at 11pm and time goes by so SLOOOOOOOOOOW!!!! I looked at my watch and it was only MIDNIGHT!!!! ugh!!! I already wanted to go home. Of course I couldn't because the peeps I rolled w/ were drunk themselves and havin a good time.. I couldn't be the party pooper could I ????

Ok...it's frickin WEDNESDAY and my stomach is still TORE UP!!!! I frickin woke up at 1:30am w/ frickin pains right below my chest.... Now this is weird...I couldn't sleep last night due to the pains I was feeling... I woke up again at 3:30am, 5:30am, 6am and finally I called Kaiser.. I couldn't get an appt. till 2:15pm. So that meant not going to work today... I couldn't anyways.. The best position for me to be in was either fetal position or all balled up like Drunken Master. LOL!!!

I call my boss and leave him a vm on his cell that I wasn't coming in and I fall back asleep.. I finally see the doctor and guess what....because I yacked about 7 times on Saturday and felt all dandy on Sunday that I had a hearty lunch....I may either have an ULCER OR PANCREAITIS ( which is inflammation of my pancreas)!!!!! Is that FRESH OR WHAT!!!! I had some blood work done and I probably won't get the results for a week, but she did give me some meds that'll hopefully come my stomach down!!!!

So this is a lesson for you all....even though we all have our yacking spells here and there and no matter how many times we've done it, it can just take this one time to take you over the top!!!! So for now...I can't be eatin no greasy foods or hearty meals!!! =( Soup!!! BLAH!!!!!
