I survived GraduationFest 2005 and all I got was… every damn thing I think I’ve ever asked for.
Man, I am spoilt.
Unfortuantely by the time the party started I lacked both the dexterity and concentration needed to post to the moblog, but I’m confident that the earlier posts left you enough for your imaginations.
Three other MBA grad buds of mine and I hosted a shin-dig in the back yard of a local college bar. The beer, it flowed like water. The water, though, flowed like rain a few times. Of course with nearly a cumulative decade of classes, papers, finals and massive amounts of BS to drink off you have to throw more than rain at us.
Lots of friends came. This guy even showed up looking for free beer and wings, so I felt obligated to let him in.
Heidi’s Dad got to meet Paige! He’d just gotten back from a long stint in the Middle East, so he and his wife visited our place before the party.
Anyway, you guys just want to hear about the booty, I’m sure.
Boy, did I get booty. So much booty I was nearly overloaded. Naturally, Heidi provided the best of it- and a few of my buds joined in too.
…and I am talking about pirate treasure, you dirty, dirty little boys and girls.
Heidi and a few of my close friends chipped in to SEND ME TO AUSTIN CITY LIMITS. That kicks butt. Hard. It’s sure to leave a mark. Quick- get an MBA and maybe someone will send you too!
I also received a box of Cuesta Rey cigars (and someone brought a few cubans for the party! holla!), a bottle of Patron Anejo, 24 Season 1, a cool bamboo thingy, and Paige scored her first pair of chucks.
Then as if that wasn’t enough, I woke up Saturday at 8:30AM after drinking 15 hours straight- SANS HANGOVER. It was as if beer itself was giving me a graduation present.
Yes, children, I live a life I most certainly do not deserve.
Thank you to everyone who sent well-wishes and gifts. Big thanks ESPECIALLY to Heidi, the love of my life, for putting up with me for three years of hectic schedules, cramming for finals and excuses that schoolwork left no for household chores. (; I love you.

patricia added these pithy words on May 16 05 at 4:34 pmCongratulations! I look forward to you passing on all that knowledge you’ve acquired. Uhm, I mean, continuing to pass on … yeah. That’s totally what I meant.
Nathaniel Merriweather added these pithy words on May 16 05 at 11:28 pmCongratulations you filthy pirate hooker! Beer gave me a little present one time too that I like to call Herpes simplex F… or maybe it’s H, I don’t know I’m so drunk right now
Becky added these pithy words on May 17 05 at 11:11 pmYou are soooooo lucky! While you’re down in Austin, you must go to 6th Street, but I’m sure you knew that already:)
Kim Wells added these pithy words on May 18 05 at 7:25 amCongrats on the graduation. If you wear that hoodie for halloween, you can get two uses out of it, and scare the kiddies with the fear that SCHOOL NEVER ENDS!!!!! (in fact, I hear it does someday. I just haven’t seen that day myself).
Have fun in Austin! The last time I was there, I saw an ugly naked guy standing on a corner. There was definite shrinkage, but the poor guy was happy!!! Hope you have happy times too.
