No need to worry. I’m alive and well. In fact, I went to Rocky Point on Thursday and got back late in the afternoon yesterday.

What started out as a long anticipated getaway filled with fun and relaxation turned out to be an aggravating series of inconveniences and drama between friends. Here’s the short version:

This year’s Mexico group consisted of about 40 people.  We rented 6 condos on the beach overlooking the ocean. My condo had 6 people in it: me, Rory, Mike, Bracken, Andy, and Andy’s wife (I forgot her name). Out of all the condos, ours ends up being the one that had a horrendous sewage problem.  The entire place smelled like human feces. It was so bad, the very first night, Andy and his wife made the decision to go home first thing in the morning.

My friend Larry, and the rest of the gang convinced them to stay, and Andy agreed to try to stick it out. When morning came, however, Andy had a change of heart and decided to leave anyway.  In order to get his portion of the deposit back, Andy checked all of us out of the condo without discussing it with the rest of the group; leaving me, Rory, Bracken, and Mike stranded with no place to stay.

Between the 4 of us, we didn’t have enough money to get another condo, so Larry offered to let us stay in his. I felt a bit uncomfortable because there were already 3 married couples and two children staying there.  Larry’s wife, however, got pissed off because Larry didn’t clear it with her before he made the offer.  She wanted us to pay an equal portion of the condo fee, but I would have rather gone home than pay to sleep on a couch and use my pajama bottoms as a towel.

That night, the air conditioning went out on the first floor, and guess who was the only person sleeping on the first floor? You got it!  So I slept in a disgusting puddle of sweat and couch juice, and ended up breaking out in giant zits all over my back and scalp. For the rest of the trip, the AC stayed broken, and the weather was so hot and humid, I went through 4 shirts in one night.

Other Mexico highlights:

One entire condo of people from our group got arrested (for what I still don’t know) and they ended up fleeing the country.

Bracken mixed up a batch of his self-titled “Brack Attack” alcoholic beverage, and poisoned his liver with multiple doses, transforming him into a fountain of shrimp flavored vomit (see images below). In between heaves, he begged us all not to let him die, and proclaimed his love for his wife and daughter, and of course, Carlita the Mexican stripper he met that night.

Beach Boy and the Shrimp Shack Shooters strapped on the guitar, keyboard, harmonica, bongos, and maracas, and really put on a great show Saturday night. By far, the best part of the weekend.

Justin Lavender added another notch to his bedpost, managing to close the deal in less than two minutes. A new land speed record.

Somehow, Hooks was able to avoid any near death experiences this time. However, for the second year in a row, he broke a chair and fell on his ass. Oh, and he lost focus while pissing and peed all over his robe. Who the F wears a robe anyway???

I guess that’s it. I think I’m ready for a vacation now.

50 Things I love (revised 8/8/07)

1. Kennedy
2. My Dad.
3. My cat.
4. Other select members of my family (Mom, Carol, Helene, Lisa & John, Grandma, Justin, Jordan, Uncle Steve, Uncle Richie & Lisa and the kids… That’s about it.)
5. Children
6. Sushi.
7. Bagels, lox, and cream cheese prepared the way my Grandpa used to do it every Sunday for years before he died.
8. Fishing trips with my Dad and Grandpa.
9. Good people with good hearts.
10. Lucky Charms and Frosted Mini Wheats
11. Grilled cheese and tomato soup.
12. That first sip of beer after a long day at work.
13. The smell of rain on hot concrete.
14. Cold feet and cold hands.
15. Soft green grass… not this razor blade shitty kind here in AZ.
16. Food Network, TLC, HGTV, Bravo
17. Alias
18. That crazy, swirly, shortness of breath, dizzy, drunk, headachy feeling you get from a great kiss.
19. Being wrong.
20. Writing.
21. Sabret hot dogs with deli mustard and onions in the red sauce from a NY street vendor.
22. Comedy.
23. The Bentley Continental GT.
24. Technology.
25. Music.
26. Giving massages. But only to people who ask. Not like the creepy guy in the office who comes up behind you and starts rubbing your shoulders, and then leans over and makes this noise right behind your ear: Mmmmmmmm…
27. ASU Women’s Basketball
28. Intelligent conversation (which is very different from talking to a smart person.)
29. People who get me.
30. The World Trade Center
31. Baseball caps.
32. A new pair of sneakers.
33. Compressed air in a can.
34. A fresh pack of underwear.
35. Everything having to do with touching a woman.
36. Midnight Run w/ Robert DeNiro & Charles Grodin
37. The bread pudding they serve at Eddie V’s in North Scottsdale.
38. The annual group trip to Rocky Point (September 29th!!!)
39. Frost Valley YMCA
40. All the true friends I’ve had throughout the years.
41. High-speed Internet.
42. A well thought out system.
43. Old couples who are still in love.
44. After days and days of picking, finally yanking out that ingrown hair.
45. Learning.
46. Hardwood floors.
47. New car smell.
48. Pistachio Ice Cream.
49. Camping.
50. The Yankees.
51. Making people laugh. (Yeah.. I know that’s 51)

That reminds me, I’ve been pretty good on my diet and exercise plan . Before I waste away, I think I should post a before picture:

Ok, that’s not really me. Actually it’s a good friend of mine who almost got killed in an ATV accident in Rocky Point last year. By the way, he’s in his 40′s, extremely sweet, very spiritual, mellow, and single. If anyone knows any ladies who like a dark chunky brother with an amazing singing voice, let me know. If anyone deserves a good woman, he does.

(UPDATE: Mr Hooks, pictured above, has since found a mate and is now happily married.)

Just in case anyone was wondering, I completely made up the results of my survey. The truth is, only one person responded to it (the woman who said she would make love to a mountain lion.) Thinking back on it now, it sure seems like a lot of work just to make up all that stuff. I still think it made for some entertaining reading.

Right now, however, I’m having a little writer’s block. I thought of a bunch of things I wanted to write about today, but I completely forgot most of them. Oh well, maybe I’ll post again later.
