So I was downtown last night.

I was having a beer with T and Matt, half-celebrating Chris’ birthday, half-eating nachos.  I thought that I had lost about thirty bucks from my pockets.  I panicked and decided to go back to the variety store that I had bought a lotto ticket from not ten minutes earlier.  I thought that maybe I had pulled out my money by accident and dropped it on the ground. 

I set out to the convenience store and as I’m walking down the street some douchebag in a car throws an egg at me!  Hit me in the leg.  I was already upset about losing my money so that made things even worse.  I was considering taking my ball and going home but then I realised that I probably deserved it.  My friends and I had egged people in the past.  Karmic justice I supposed.

I made it to the store and looked around on the ground.  No money.  I asked the clerk and he looked befuddled.  Nope, no money here.  God damn it.  I lost thirty dollars!  I have almost no money so thirty bucks hurt.  I asked the teller for some napkins or paper towels and he obliged, and I wiped the egg off of my leg.  I walked back to the bar, defeated and annoyed, and pulled out my pack of cigarettes.  Some nicotine would help ease the pain.  And what do I find stuck in the package?  My thirty bones!  Success!

I had a couple of beers back at the bar, some nachos, and some fries dipped in gravy.  That, my friends, is one filthy meal.  I had an apple and a bunch of water when I got home to make up for it.

At the end of the night we left the bar to search for a cab.  We were walking down the strip trying to hail a taxi when a fight broke out.  Some little guy apparently beat up some slightly bigger guy.  He seemed really happy about it but his joy was short-lived.  Whoever got beat up came back with his friends and beat the short guy’s friend into a pulp.  They knocked him down and kicked him in the head a few times.  The police showed up and the guy who did the booting took off like a shot with the cop in tow.  I’m not sure if they ever got him.

Shortly afterwards we found a cab and made our way home.  Exciting night downtown.
