Been busy....

Well it’s been a while since my last rant, many things have happened in the course of the last few months that has defiantly made things entertaining and exciting. Since New Years there has been the Martial Art Tournament, new car, and a new look on life.

Some may ask what is the Martial Arts Tournament? What is it? Do you fight each other? Well to best describe what it is, basically is one painful drinking game. You venture to a little town east of Watertown New York, were I meet up with all my college mates and basically play a game of war using cards with rules. You lose you drink, you lose again you drink, and so on… You have two jokers in your deck, one is played and you do shots. Now after all your 54 cards are gone, you can choose to do a power up… a “Shooter” But that’s only the first round. Second you have to due 3 shooters, and so on as the rounds continue. There has been an average of 12-14 people who attend annually with new faces each year. 4 rounds are played to determine a winner. But you can only power up once per round, so if you have used your power up, now you must drink a glass of death, or otherwise called “a Spirit Bomb.” This is no ordinary drink; it’s a mix of many different alcohols in an extremely large glass cup. There are three ways to loose. You run out of cards, you do your shots, run out again, choose to quit or do a spirit bomb. You do the spirit bomb, and then loose all your cards; you are out of the competition. OR you at any time hear a rumble in your stomach and you throw up, are eliminated. This year’s competition was great, everyone took part, and for the most part everyone was a disaster the rest of the night. Fortunately for me I made it to the final round, to have my opponent throw up sitting at the table we were playing at. So I won, brought home the “Kiaser Cup”. It was a lot of fun. Unfortunately my girlfriend was unable to attend this year, but she did attend last year which I was proud to include in my out of town activates for once. There are pics from the event, yet my buddy had not made them available yet to the public, will update the sight when I get them.

Next comes the new car… Yes folks I have another new car under my belt. I have a disease; it’s hereditary and comes from my father. I like cars, I like to drive them for a year then I sick of them and want another one. I have had many cars in my life already, a lot more than most have in a lifetime. Recently I was driving a Pontiac Grand Prix GT2.


Lets just say it was not one of my more preferred rides. Just to many things happened with that car that I would like to forget. Any way, so for the last two weeks I have been wheeling and dealing looking for a way out, and found one. The Buick Rainer!

I will admit it was not my first choice; the Buick Lucerne had caught my eye first. It’s a large car that seats a family of 4 more comfortably then most cars on the road, but alias it was not in the cards. Instead I drove the Rainer, and know the minute I sat in it, it would be mine! And well it is, I picked up my New 2006 AWD Rainer yesterday. I am happy, my girlfriend is happy, all around happiness is spreading… and there is more to come… What that is, well you will just have to wait and see… Hee Hee Hee...
