Turn back the clock to 2000

The summer of 2000 was probably one of my favorites. I could drink underage because of my sister and Miguel Ram-Ram. So it was a mix of it being ok to drink until I puke, and the fact I was young and dumb. Another important aspect was that I could burn CD's. This lead to hours and hours of URGE, 2 Skinnie J's, and Shootyz Groove, being played on the CD player. We also had a nice little drunk shack over on Charles Street. I remember being beat up because we had no chicks, but it was always cool to go over and play some n64 and get some shitty air conditioning. Miguel was at his craziest during this period, pulling knives, dropping drugs into his mouth, I said no thanks to that, but it provided some interesting times. I also stayed up until 6 am most nights. I don't remember going to bed before sunrise once. I think the highlight was also going down to the OZARKS where we got in a shitload of trouble for being bastards. I dove into cold ass water headfirst drink (Smart I know!) You know you are young and dumb when I can't remember a single Royals highlight this year, maybe Randa went deep at some point, but all I know was I was looking to score busch light at all times. I remember gameday 2001 for playstation as the Vikings were awesome on that team. As a general awesome memory I liked it when Matt had a couple crushes that would come over so I could talk trash to them. I also liked playing Mario Golf for a zillion hours in a row. The unofficial end to the summer came when we had a cookout for a the first preseason game for the NFL. I remember Matt's 21st birthday because everyone duck taped him up to a chair. He was nothing like he is Now, he was alittle more dickish back then, but he was still someone to hang out with. I don't like to live in this space and time in my head too long because I remember the good with the bad. I remember being real shy in general, Bryce, Botty, Matt, and Miguel, sometimes my sister, and randoms around St. Joseph were my only friends. Like all things that era came to an END. I went back to school, Bryce went back to school, Miguel went to live at Camp Marvin Hillyard, and I don't know where Botty went off too. I had a horrible next semester because I just wanted to drink and party all the time. I think I only passed 9 hours. It is always hard say what the crap I did with my time during some of this time in my life because I was battling general depression. I did snap out of the funk by next summer. I will always remember sneaking around with Byrd drinking, hanging out for hours on end, Bobo, Rob Calloway fight, Fight Club, and blockbuster.
