The Aldrich Avenue Weekly

its been one week since my big binger up in st. cloud. let me tell you. im still feeling the effects. maybe its because i was sick for a few days after that. or maybe its because i’ve been training like a madman this week to get ready for this seasons race schedule. or maybe its a mixture of both. but i tell you what. i haven’t felt right for about a week now. i just feel so dazed all of the time. like i’m on drugs only i’m not. and starting tonight at the Independent is a 3 day binger. oh man. its pretty slow at work right now. i am writing this random crap that you get to read and Ian is doing some sort of shitty math that makes no sense and he will never use in real life. today’s high was flirting with 50 and i heard it will tomorrow as well. i hope so. i would like to get outside and ride the bike. that damn trainer is so boring. so im going up to duluth tomorrow afternoon. i can’t wait. its been over 6 months since i was last there. thats too long. i love those guys up there. such a good time. it will be nice to get out of this fuggin’ house and away from things even though it will be for only two days. charlie just reminded me of the wild game we are going to two weeks to the day. we are sitting on the upper deck in the FIRST row on one of the blue lines!!! SHIBBY. should be fun. i’ve been listening to this CD by Christopher O’Riley. he did a whole slew of radiohead songs on piano. its pretty good. i made a copy of that as well as the radiohead version for my mom. she seems to like it. it kind of suprised me. i didn’t think she likes radiohead. i know she loves the O’Riley disc but the radiohead one as well. i’ve been on a radiohead/dane cook kick lately. i missed low lustre’s last show at the 400 bar. i was bummed. but they’ll have many more shows to see. good band. check em’ out sometime. www.lowlustre.com well i guess its time to get back to work. talk to y’all on the flip side. im out. Love. Peace. and Bicycle Grease.

a couple of guys i work with are part of that facebook site. i thought it looked cool and was gonna switch to it but i can’t. never made it to college so i can’t join. bummer, a lot of my old friends seem to be on that site too!! its like friendster and myspace are the brother and sister of facebook. and it made me think. i think i probablly hang out with 3 maybe 4 friends from high school on a regular basis. thats fucking ridiculous. i’ve sent others emails about my life and whats new but i never heard back from them. even phone calls don’t work these days. maybe its a sign. maybe i am supposed to move out west with pj and charlie. is that what i was sent here to do? get outta this town and live in the mountains for the rest of my life? a whole new beginning? new friends? a new home? all of these questions to answer. and i better do it quick. i mean i’m almost 24 years old!!! shit. i mean yea thats still young, but these days most people at that age already have a plan of somesorts. ya know? a plan on where to live, when to get married, have kids, a long term job. me? i have no plan right now. zip, zero, nadda. well, i’m off to uptown to have a few cocktails at The Independent to think about this more. until next time. Love. Peace. and Bicycle grease.

ok, so this is a link to a video of me tossing the keg around 3am on new years. its kinda dark but you get the idea. so WOW. new years was nuts. we had a party at the house again this year. all i can say is SHENANIGANS. and lots of it. i think things went on in this house that are illegal in some states. ha ha. there was a good croud too. we had a keg and around 13 bottles of champanque for the big night. beer pong was going and dancing was going as well. it would take me too long to talk about everything just take a look at the pics i’ve put on for new years.
so yea, this is a good idea of how the night went(left) thats mike pouring the booze down my throat with my bottle in my hand. good job mike! but damn it was fun. just ask pj. i think he had the most fun out of all of us. lol. it was fun. i tapped the keg around 5pm, but people didn’t really show up until 10-10:30. we had, a barrel of beer, car bombs, bailyes and coffee, shots, and champanque. it mixed for one hellufa night but one terrible  hangover. it was worth it though. chris once again played some kick ass tunes. i think everyone liked em’. oh, chris and i went 5-0 on the night in beer pong. we were killing it. i think after that night i’m gonna lay off the sauce for awhile. boy. well another year has come and gone. i’m glad to say i’m happy 2005 has come and gone. lets hope 2006 is a better year for Bad Andy. it got off on the right foot though. i think im gonna go skiing today. its a nice day for it. 34 degrees and cloudy. see y’all on the flip side. Happy New Year everyone. Love. Peace. and Bicycle grease.
