Fail and Success.

I did not surf this morning. I woke up too hungover, it was way too cold to get out of my comfy bed, and the surfcam didn't look that good. I'm pretty mad at myself though. I usually never not go surfing (does that sentence make sense?). In my defense the two kids I planned on going surfing with bailed on me. As I previsouly said I hate surfing alone, especially in the winter. In fact I don't think I'll ever go surfing alone in the winter. In the spring/summer/fall for sure, but not the winter, its too harsh.

Anyway, here are some of the reasons why I didn't go surfing. Samuel Adams Winter Larger, Heineken Light, Bud Light, and Coors Light. Okay, those aren't the only reasons, I'm not an alcoholic. We went to the islanders game, fashionably late I might add, and I managed to talk down some scalpers from 90$ a ticket to 20$ a ticket. I'm very proud at myself because I never thought I could do something like that. Granted the alcohol helped a little bit, I'm not an alcoholic I swear. I just kept saying I'm not paying more than 20 dollars, I can go get tickets for 14$ with my student discount (which is true, but those were sold out, he didn't have to know that). We ended up getting 3 tickets at 20$ a piece, and these were the specialty seats with the replay screens in front and access to all you can eat and drink(dangerous). 180$ a ticket at we got them for 20 bucks. Great Success. Then we got 2 other tickets for free (80$ tickets that were closer, but didn't have the perks). These kind people tried to exchange 2 really good seats for 3 decent seats. They weren't allowed to so they just gave us the tickets. We threw them 20$ as a courtesy. All in all we got 3 180$ tickets for 20$ each and two 80$ tickets for 10$ each. I'm no mathematician but I'd say thats a pretty sweet deal.

heres the difference in seats. The first is the seat I got for 10 dollars. The second is the student discount seat for 14 dollars a few weeks back. be the judge of which is better.

Then after the game, in which the Islanders lost 1-3 on account of 2 goals for the islanders the refs didn't count (bullshit), we went back to a local bar in KP. There was a local band playing which actually turned out to be pretty good. Saw some friends, drank some beers, good times. On the way out I was talking to the lead singer of the band and he hooked me up with a free CD. Check out their music here.

Today I've got work 1:30-7 then I'm heading over to a friends house to watch the superbowl. Should be a good time, don't have any preference on who I want to win. I may slightly favor the Saints just because I love a good underdog/cinderella story.
