Sports, Love &/in Minnesota, & More

Playing in the Boston Ski & Sports or BSSC as people say has been fun but a big step up from previous recreation. We play on a real indoor soccer field with a real scoreboard, ref, uniforms, and the whole 9 yards. As you could imagine, some people take this much too seriously and as I sit in pain writing this post I can't help but wonder why the goalie last night thought it was necessary to check me into the board as I felt several bones snap - ok not really, but I did have trouble moving today. The worst though is getting knocked over from some these woman who must be on steroids or something. I mean what are you supposed to - knock them back over?

Speaking of moving, this past weekend I went to the Milky Way in Jamaica Plain which moved last year to basically my back yard, which I was pretty psyched about. There aren't a whole lot of places to go out in JP, definitely not the best place to move if you are looking for good night life in Boston. There are even fewer places to dance but The Milky Way is one of them and on Saturday night they had some great DJ's and some spinning lights on the dance floor. Only problem - no one dancing. There were people there for sure, although everyone seems to be about 5-10 years older than me on average, and they stood around the dance floor just talking. And if you can't get people to dance to good music on a Saturday night I don't know what you can do. My strategy was to get on the floor even if with the 3 other people (2 of whom were men) and pull some good moves - this did not help. Everyone continued not dancing while I made a fool of myself.

Lastly, I am taking off to Minnesota this weekend after a bizarre series of events. I was facebooked by a girl I have not spoken to since freshman year of college (who I was never particularly close with) who said she wanted to buy me a ticket to my former roommate and good friend's surprise birthday. Wait, hold on a second, were the strings attached? None apparently she said. Oh she must be rich? Probably not as she does Teach for America. So I decided to go with it and take a chance since free trips are always sweet and I want to see my friend. We'll see how it goes and hopefully this isn't some grand hoax where I have to pop out of a birth cake somewhere naked or something- but apparently this girl and my friend are pseudo dating long-distance which I didn't hear about from him and seems rather odd. Although not that odd considering my other roommate from college was dumped shortly after a 3 year relationship ended just after graduation when he found while travelling in Israel that it was for a woman that she'd been cheating with for almost a year and she was now a lesbian! So much for their plan to move to Hawaii together. Or take my friend who studied abroad in Ghana and met a military man there that's more than twice her age (mid-forties) with 2 daughters just younger than us, and became friends only to later fall in love after graduation after he moved to Japan and then she moved there too to get married. The latest I hear is they are planning on making some children of their own in New Orleans where they now live.

If all goes well I should be dating a trannie soon on the streets of St. Paul that comes back to Boston only to find out that it's my boss' mother who is pregnant with 3 children, and needs me to travel to Zanzibar to find the father whose whereabouts are unknown.
