Afterglow 2010 - Day 8 Saturday

But there's nothing I can do about it because said punk kid is my Back Alley Burner bandmate, cousin Kevin. But since we're just kissing cousins, it makes it ok for him to be Mom's favorite. I should've known a long time ago that it would be like this. But I just couldn't do it.

Mom always gets her picture with Kevin last. I don't know what that says about me and all the Mom cred I've been trying to gain all these years, but it can't be good. Save the best for last scholars always say. But I ain't buying it. I've worked too hard to let some punk kid win.

One person who raged it too hard last night was Gary, and he stumbled out of the cabin in top form. He was about 30 minutes late and missing a sandal, but at least he was all packed up and ready to go. Lucky for him the McKissick family takes their picture earlier in the week, or else he would've actually had to do something this morning besides standing there and looking goofy. Some guys have all the luck! When Lord, when? When's gonna be my time!

Hey kids we're gonna play a game! It's called "Guess Which One of the McKissick Boys is Still Drunk from Last Night?" If you answered Gary you would be wrong. If you answered Kevin then you are also wrong. The correct answer is both of them, but the original question was also a little misleading. I had asked you to choose between them but never gave you the option of both. Ah-ha! A trick question! I wish that I was right there with them but I took it easy last night because I had to drive home. Hangover + 5 hours in the car with Mom = nightmare.

The drive home is the worst part of the entire week because we have to go back to our normal lives. Mom tries to cushion the blow and ease the pain by springing for Culver's, but it can't stop the pain from taking over. Post-Afterglow depression is the worst thing to have.

Our stuff is all out of cabin #2 and it is now ready for next week's occupants, but I doubt they will rage it like we did. No one knows how to rage it like we do. This cabin is almost too small to hold our raging, but luckily we are surrounded by the Great Outdoors.

The ride home isn't all bad though because Jenny sits in the backseat and offers up some incredible moments of comic relief. Take a long car ride with her and you will see what I mean. That is when she isn't sleeping. She has been known to doze off from time to time.

We got back home and Buford "Mad Dog" Tannen was waiting for us. That's not her real name (it's Madison) but that's what I call her. I guess the Muellers don't love Back to the Future III as much as I do. My Mom was watching their dog this week while they were on vacation.

Home

Lassie was just about to turn 16 years old, which is incredible considering that she is a big dog. Most big dogs don't live that long. You could tell she was nearing the end though, because she was old, gray and all skin and bones. Just like Rez. But unlike Lassie, Rez was skinny on purpose. I wish that I had his problem. I haven't been classified as skinny since I was like 4 years old or some shit. It must be nice to have been skinny at an older age when people start to judge you based on looks. Rez was watching the dogs and painting the living room while we are away, and he was still at work when I caught him topless.

Sorry that it took me so long to complete Afterglow 2010. As I am typing this it will be 2 weeks until we will be up there in 2011, making this the latest that I have ever finished one of these adventures. No excuse will ever be a good one, but I have lost a lot of creativity and overall drive to work on this site. And since this website is intended to be my life story when all is said and done, I would like it to accurately portray the events with a good amount of my trademarked humor and randomness thrown in. That's hard to do these days, so I'm doing the best that I can. But no worries man, cause now I have all of the Afterglow 2010 pictures and stories up for you to check out. And in 2 weeks we will be making all sorts of new memories for this site. Let's just hope it doesn't take a year to get them all up here. Am I right or am I right? What'll it be pal?

Gracie is so needy. She bugs out if you don't pet her or give her attention, which drives me crazy. If she wasn't my dog I wouldn't be able to stand her, and it even took me like 4 years to warm up to her. I don't have enough time or energy to put up with that shit.

Coach Gordon Bombay could also be classified as needy, but at least he naps and minds his business for the majority of the day besides meal times. But he is my BFF so I will do anything for him. He's all that I got in this world and we gotta stick together to survive.
