Random Rambling.

Hate to mope, so I'll try not to.

Don't get me wrong- life is good. Mostly. I hang out with good people. As far as my life goes, thats mostly ALL I do- hang out with good people.

However, I am at a specific point where I've realized a few things. These things are important, because they are a few of the things that would make me genuinely happy. Unfortunately, these things, the ones that I've realized, are not wholly available. In fact, some might be down right impossible. Which is sort of a bummer because, like I've said, these things are the things that will make me genuinely happy.

So...Cheers to 'things'. To everyone's things. Let's hope all of our 'things' work out for the best, and may we lead happy thing-dependent lives!

Attention adventurers!

Are you irresponsible? An insomniac? Do you find yourself lonely, bored, and awake in the wee hours of the morning?
Do you like to drink and/or hang out? Do you have a strong constitution and unwavering willpower? Bored with the routine party scene? Are you up for grand schemes with little possibility of being realized?

Then this blahg is for you, my friends.

I'm looking for feedback on an 'event' I'd like to organize. We all like to hang out with friends, and I like to do it as often as possible. I like a good party, as well. However as time progresses I am finding the availability of both to be dissipating. Everyone is so busy that I rarely see all my friends out together anymore. There have been some happening dance parties thrown down in the past few months, but they are few and far between. And by 2-3 am, most of my friends have crapped out and gone home. Work/school the next day, that whole business.
I empathize. I work early mornings most days, and so late nights are rarely feasible anymore.
Personally, I miss being terribly irresponsible. So what I'd really like to do is organize some controlled group irresponsibility. Hear me out!

This is my proposal. We set up a date well ahead of time. We ALL take off work. This is very important! We tell all our friends, everyone we know who isn't a wuss. We meet up at noon- and from there my idea takes form. I want to organize a TWENTY FOUR HOUR ROAMING PARTY. Let's say at noon we meet up at the park, start off with a barbeque and maybe some MUTHAFUCKIN KICKBALL (I reeeeaaaaalllly like kickball), hang out for a bit. Anyways, here's where I need feedback. I want a huge group of people to form a plague of locusts that will take NOLA by storm for 24 hours. Lots of drinking, little or no sleeping. No one wusses out, no one goes to work, no one goes to sleep until they can't possibly stay awake any longer (I'm aware not EVERYONE has the fortitude to stay awake for days at a time like myself). But I don't want the whole night to be a bunch of people hanging out at Molly's or R Bar, I do that often enough already. I want activities, fun things, ideas, adventures, food, drink, and merry making! And preferably, I'd like it all to be feasible without relying on cars as much as possible.
Bikes and feet will be our transportation, to maximize my beer consumption. When it starts to get too late, we can retire inside for some crafts and maybe home videos? When the dawn rears, we can leave again to enjoy the sunrise!

This is my idea. It may seem really well formed, but that's only because I used a lot of words. I actually haven't thought about this for more than 15 minutes. So my plan is subject to great change and it probably won't happen at all because no one would be willing to just rock out and have fun like that anymore. But just imagine the best house party EVER (Think 'Daft Punk is Playing at my House'), that one where EVERYONE is there and there are all of these super friendly hip strangers there too, and you just make friends all night. But now imagine that party is FOREVER long and ALL OVER THE PLACE.

We could even do a Critical Mass type thing, except without that whole "reclaim the streets" part.

Don't leave me hanging. What ya got for me?
