FRIDAY
Dec. 31st 2004

New Year's Eve 2004
@ CRUSH NIGHTCLUB

12/31/04 - FRIDAY - Crush - Starting out my New Years Eve in a typical Two Eagles Fashion. Late! I got up at around 2pm after barely recovering from the night of partying before and met with Corey, Shash and LS for lunch. We did that, and then it was time to get some errands done. LS and I hit the salon for some beautification, my hair was starting to look like a hippy and my eyebrows were looking a bit bushy and unified. Ha haha... LS got a massage, he looked like he was going to pass out after it. He was wobbling around. Haha... I dropped him off and then split to the bank at like 5pm to cash my check. WHAT THE F*CK WAS I THINKING! Naturally being me, it was with my head up my arse. Fortunately for me, Frederick had hit me with his end of the rent cash so I had the funds to party, or I would have been f*cked. Whew! It was like 5:20p at this point and I needed clothes, so I stopped by a secret location to see what they had in store for me and copped some money ass cufflinks. Nice! Now to get a new shirt! Of course I get to the spot and they are closed. Sh*t! I need new denim, I fly out to Rivertown which is way the hell away from downtown, I get there at flippin' 6p, and of course they close at 6p! Luckily for me the lady in the store had mercy on me and let me grab some dunagaress or I would have been triple screwed. At this point it was like 6:30 or so, and I told Lance I would stop by so I did, had a cocktail and then split back out like a bat out of hell. I got to my place and ran around like a chicken with my head cut off getting ready, we were suppose to be meeting at Judson's at 8p for dinner, and being be the "Two Eagles" got there at 9:15pm, everyone was calling me to see what the hell I was doing, but I made it. It was funny as hell. I was rocking the Twoey "Godfather" glasses, and they had me sitting at the head of the table, so when I sit down and I am like... "Now the party can begin!" Haha... the only thing I needed was a pinky ring at that point. I had to take it to the next level so I tucked my napkin into my shirt while I ate. I still am able to suprise myself with my obnoxious behaviour. One of the times I had gone up to the bar for a cocktail, there where these ladies up there, they were like... "Are those your real eyebrows?" I was like... "You f*ckin' kiddin' me lady?" They were buggin' about my glasses so I took pictures of them wearing them. That was funny. I dont know what time it was when I staggered into Crush but they place was packed. Joshua and Sami copped a couple bottles of Grey Goose and everyone got ridiculously hammered. I took my self-indulgence to a new level that night. I can't really say why, but it would have made the Rat Pack look like choir boys. Crush closed at 2am, I went over to Taps hoping that they would still be open, but they were not, I think I had some hot dogs at the Walking Weiner, but don't really remember, I went back to the Towers for an AP but everyone was at Monte's. And the people that were at the Towers, didn't let me in, because everyone was wizzasted and we could barely manage to communicate via intercom or cellphone so I ended up going home. What a f*ckin' night.

 


THURSDAY (Club 1 of 2)
Dec. 30th 2004

Bliss
@ Crush Nightclub

12/30/04 - THURSDAY - Crush - This night was so WHOA! Me and Adam haven't hung out in I don't know how long, I was like... "Let's do this!" Tonite was the night to do it too. Thursday nights at Crush called Bliss, which is a House night, anyway... they were having this insande drink special... $1 u-call-its from 9-11pm. ARE YOU F*CKIN' KIDDIN ME? $1 u-call-its? Jyzus. So... Adam and I rendezvoused (I always have to look that word up at dictionary.com) downtown when I realized that I had left my memory card at my office, so we climbed back into my ride and split out to the office, okay that was sh*tty. Got back downtown in like 25 minutes and headed straight for the Crush and straight to the upper bar. We ordered 2 sluts, a skyy and orange for him and double john-n-coke for me. I had killed my round in like 8 minutes, so we ordered another one. To make a barely remembered story short, we were wizzasted by 10:15p, and we had only been there 45 minutes. I basically just hugged the lower bar and didn't move damn near the whole time we were there. Lance and his baby mama showed up and apparantly I was hitting on her. Whoops. Don't remember that one. Anyway everyone was f*cking sh*tfaced by this time, and we took tons of crazy pics, adam took a bunch as well. We had a good ole time. hahahhaa.... we stayed until about 1am and then split for Taps. -t.e.

THURSDAY (Club 2 of 2)
Dec. 30th 2004

Ladies Night
@ TAPS 2ND FLOOR

Taps - We got to Taps completely smashed. haha... I was being so scandalous. I went boob crazy with the camera. We partied, Adam bailed on me because he couldn't find me, I didn't know or care what was really going on. I know that I had an amazing time though. After Taps I went to the "Walking Wiener" for some delicous late night weenies. While I was there I dropped my f*cking camera right on the 3 week old f*cking lens. I broke a huge chunk out of it, it seems to still work though. I'm going to put a 2004 destruction tally on my site, well, I will make it a more of a "F*cked Up Moments Year in Review", everyone will get a kick out of that. I will be humiliated, but it is all for your entertainment! I do this all for you! Hahaha... Oh yeah, I found out that the mini camera I was using all night was set to some retardedly low resolution so I have the pics, but they are small as "F". Good enough for the site, but I don't be able to make any good size prints. Sh*t. -t.e.


12/29/04 - WEDNESDAY - This story is crazy. I didn't go out Sunday, Monday or Tuesday. Everyone was bugging the sh*t out of me to hang, but sometimes I actually have responsibilities. I had a magazine to get out and I started late, this was my schedule... Sunday, 7pm to 7am, I was at the office working, went home slept until 2pm, even though I only was going to sleep until 10am. Back to the office Monday at 3pm, worked from the time I was there until 4pm, Tuesday at which point I crashed on my futon for 45minutes, got back up, got the magazine out the door around 12 something in the afternoon Wednesday, worked on some other sh*t until 2:45pm at which point, I passed out at my desk for 10min while waiting for a cd to burn, the cd f'ed so I had to burn it again, passed out again... came to around 4pm, the cd finally worked, I was really dazed, then i remembered that I had a meeting at 5pm at the Section. Sh*t. Flew home, got ready got to my meeting, did the damn thing, had a couple cocktails during the meeting, so I was ready to party. After the meeting I sat at the bar having more cocktails while waiting to find something to get into, by this time it is like 7:30p and I couldn't find anything to get into, call after call, so I slid over to Tini-Bikini's to see what was really good, sat around having miller lites, ran into some dood I knew from some other dood, so I joined him and his buddies. Then split about 9:15p to head over to Gardella's to meet Jacob and Caitlin, but stopped by Bar Divani to say hi to Jax. Ran into Jamie and her friends so I stopped to talk with them for a minute, her one friend Jim said that the Grand Rapids Press just did a front page story on him, I was like... "No way!" It turned out that he was the founder of Cybernet and partners with Barton Watson, the guy that imbezzeled everything and then killed himself. Although he had told me that he had long been out of Cybernet and tried to have Barton investigated before everything went down. That was crazy! Anyway, I went over to Gardella's after that and had some more cocktails, then we slid to Bridge St. Pizza I was totally looking for the sweet corn pizza, but they did not have that sh*t, but being the accomodating guys they are hooked that sh*t up! What! That was bad news for me though, I had 3 slices and that soaked up all of the nectar of the gods. My cohorts bailed and I went to Monte's, my buzz was depleted and I was ready to go home, I stayed for a while and finally found a ride back to my ride, I was in bed by 2am. I can barely f'ing beleive that, but after being awake for abouts 60 hours with only 2 hours of nap in between, it is understandable. No pics, I was way to tired.


12/22/04 WEDNESDAY - Mmmm.... 2:26am... tonite so sucked. F*ckin what the f*ck. I wasn't even going to go out tonite, but I did. What the f*ck was I thinking. Mmmm... well, I was thinking that tonite I would go see my friend Chris Ho, who was DJing over at the f*cking BFE, because I stood him up twice and Ian was like... "let's go see Chris". So me, being the stand up guy with sh*tloads of work and being the irresponsible f*ck that I am, decided that I would do that. Pbbbtbtt....... f*ck. Anyway, Ian comes over to the office and gets me, the intentions were to have a beer then leave. Yeah right. I know the real deal everytime. Get me to the club and it's over. F*ck Ryan Adams, I am trying to hear the Mars Volta. hahhaha... (thinking outloud right now, because I am pissed the f*ck off and drizzy... Roulette Dares mutha fizzy...) So anyway, we get out to the BFE, which is in literally BFE and it seemed slow, but I never had been there on a Wednesday, or actually even been there for that matter! Wait... that was a f*cked up sentence, but f*ck it, you don't read this for my proficiency in the literary arts... Boom! Okay, back on track... there was mad cuties in the house, but I wasn't in my grove yet. Frankly because I hadn't had sh*t to drink yet! So we hung for a minute, Ian was taking up the photo duties and I was taking up drinking duties and since we had mini-pitchers a piece and a shot, and since it was like 11pm and we were way the f*ck out... I am like "let's make it a night", so bust up and head to Monte's. Monte's was packed as f*ck but I am wasn't feelin' it, because sub-conciously I have a particular SOMETHING on the mind... anyway... we do our thing, I take like 10 pictures and we leave, but this time it is already like 12:50am and we are heading over the the Grizzil. Dumb! We get to the Grill and I get us some Corona's and I am so non-chalant, because I am thinking about SOMETHING, and then I see that SOMETHING and I gets my happy on, but... f*ck. I am stupid. I wasn't acting stupid, but I was dumb for thinking ANYTHING about SOMETHING. So basically, I got f*cked up, and thought things I shouldn't have, because I am a sensitive f*ck, and always end up f*cking myself over... Whew! Well in reality, I had the right to think the things I did, but I am a schmuck f*ck for thinking anything was real. Why even bother. Why. More of a statement than a question. Boom. So... in f*cking actuality, and secretly (even to myself), I think that my whole plan was to end up at the Grill and find out what was really going on and I did find the f*ck out. What's going on is f*cking nothing! It's nights like tonite that make me question why the f*ck I do or say anything real. More than that, it's nights like tonite that make me ask myself, why I am honest with anyone. ANY F*CKING ONE. Another night in the f*cking life of someone that lives in a fantasy f*cking land. Me. I go out about 5 nights a week and party. You would have thought I would have my game together by now, I don't, I'm not trying to. That is dumb. I should be trying to, but I am not. It shouldn't have to be a game with everyone, but it is. Like I said before... "F*ck them, before they f*ck you."

White Party
@ CRUSH NIGHTCLUB

12/21/04 TUESDAY - Normally I go to Monte's on Tuesday's for the hot drink specials, and even though I had extra incentive, tonite was different... J. Veezie was a having a White Party at the Crush, which is unusual for a Tuesday night, because nothing ever happens on a Tuesday at Crush, but it is the Tuesday before CHRISTmas and that was what was happening. Ian, Chris Ho, Curtis and Zack, we were all going to hit the spot. Then a a friend from back a few minutes ago called me and said that she was in town, so that changed the game up too. What to do, what to do... I decided that I was going to hang with my friend and hit the White Party and then go from there... We grabbed some Bacardi O, because that was the drink of preference and proceeded to get wizzasted, and wizzasted we did. Hahahaha... we slid up in the BOB, more like stumbled up into the BOB, but what else is new. It was funny because Scott, the biggest security guy in the club was on coat check duty. You f*ckin' kiddin' me? Anyway, I gave him some grief and then took a pic and went into the Crush. The crew was already there and everyone was in white. They tried to give me sh*t because I only had on white shirt and shoes, but on the contrary, the only white shoes they had were basketball shoes. Hahhaha... Get your grown man on bitches and get some slip ons. LS was behind the wheels of steel and holding it down quite lovely, Mona Lisa was digging the mix and so was I, although it was kinda slow and by 11p I was ready to check out the Section, so we did. Oh yeah, guess what... I dropped my fuckin flash. AGAIN! F*CK! CAPITOL... F - YOU - C - K! My pictures started coming out dark, and I didn't realize it was because I broke my f*cking diffuser off again, the thing that cost me $100 f*cking dollars and 3 weeks worth of time to get fixed before when I broke it off. F*ck that, super glue. What up now Canon biznatches. Anyway, I found out that if I hold the flash right, Icould still get the pics to come out right. Snootchie bootchies baby. We split to the Section, not before getting our drizzy on in the Taurus, you know that is manadatory. Did that, did that and finished the journey to the Section. All good, part of our crew was already there, Marty put it down lovely with the Jizzack and Coke, but I knew we would be leaving soon so I passed part of it to Zack and then got my water on. Saw J. Deezie, and she told me about some B.S. at the Llyod Banks concert, real B.S., unbelievable... Anyway, went to the stage to say my goodbyes and then B-SIDE made me do some f*cked up shot. It tasted like someone brushed their teeth, spit it into a glass and then mixed it with gin and made us drink it. I thought I was going to blow. I was okay though. We left around 1:00am, and things were good. At about 3:45am I made a run for the border, got my Taco Smell on, hit up myspace (cuz' that is the sh*t right now) and finished my diary at 5:07am. Wizzy whut, whut. Snizzle bizzle.

Michigan Home Finance Christmas Party
@ JUDSON'S STEAKHOUSE


12/17/04 FRIDAY - Friday night was ridiculous! It seems like I say that about everytime that I go out, but it is true! Started off the night at Judson's for the Michigan Home Finance Christmas Party, which was oh so good. Come on, it's Judson's people! Big thanks to Melissa and Michelle for the invite. After the delicious meal and 8 Jack and Cokes, it was time to the stagger into Crush. Crush had a decent size crowd, B-Side was on the one's and two's, I wandered around looking for Lance, I found him and Tara in the circular booth partying bim pimpin style. I was f*ckin hammered, so I flopped down next to them and kicked my feet up. I could barely do anything but sit there and laugh. I had switched to beers by that time because I didn't want to get "Two Eagled", haha... Funny thing, when we were at Judson's, I was sitting across from this couple, and they were asking me about what I do, and me being the filthy mouthed f*ck that I am, was sitting there going... "I go out take pictures and get f*cking wizzasted! Blah blah, f*ck this, f*ck that, blah blah blah." The chick was laughing her ass off, she acted like she had never heard the word f*ck before. I guess she had never heard it as ever other word in a sentence. Ha ha. It was funny as f*ck. Back to the Crush, when I sitting in the booth, this chick spilled some of her drink on my pant leg, Tara was trying to brush it off or some sh*t and I was like... "Don't worry about it, I've had worse on my pants." she was laughing her ass off, if only she knew the awful truth. Ha ha. So later on I find this hottie who I ask to take her picture and of course she responds with the standard... "By myself?" and then she insists that I take her picture with her girlfriend and some guy, so I do. And then the guys comes up to me and is like... "You have to get my permission to put that anywhere don't you?" I am like... "No, you posed in a public place for that picture, your permission is implied by you posing for it." So then he goes... "If I see that anywhere you will be hearing from my lawyer." I'm like... "Whatever man, I didn't want your picture anyway." So I deleted that sh*t. F*ck that. I delete you b*tch. Ha hahahaa... F*ck with me and get ya ass deleted. Seriously, I have taken pictures of Playboy Playmates, County Commissioner's, GRPD, TV celebrities, etc, etc... and this guy doesn't want me to take his picture. Give me a break. The funny thing is that I was standing there with some dood that was on the Bachelor and he was even let me take his picture. Anyway, enough about that turd. So after, 8 Jack & Cokes, 2 Miller Lites, 1 shot of Rumplemintze and a Jager Bomb it was time to go to Monte's. Monte's was cool, busy as usual. I can't remember anything particularly cool happening over there, except seeing a whole lof of people that I knew and hadn't seen in a while. Mandy R. was wizzasted. Ha ha. So at the end of the night I was going to catch a ride with Caitlin over to the "Walking Wiener" over on Ionia and Fulton, but she was taking forever talking with some guys, that apparently told her to stay away from me because I am some a-hole that takes pictures of girls boobs or some sh*t. Why is it that people have to talk sh*t about someone else try and make themselves look better. I don't make anyone take pictures that they don't want taken. A lot of times afterwards they wish they hadn't taken them, but that is a different story! Ha haha... People are so hypocritical, those are the same type of guys that are trying to take my friend home for a tit wank, but I am the bad guy for taking a few pictures in the bar.

My favorite quote from last night (12/11/04) was when Rae comes up to me and says...

You f*ckin' kiddin' me? But... another good one, was when Jaime said to me...
"If I let you take a picture of my boobs,
will you replace it with the one you have on myspace?"
She asked so nicely, how could I deny her? Ha ha... NICE!
