Alright Readers I have HAPPY NEWS (at least for me…this
really wont mean much for most of you) …I just figured out one of my best
friends whom moved away to Hawaii is reading my blog! So the pressure is on to
make these posts extra amazing from now on…So now that I know I am being read
by one of my nearest and dearest…BRING IT ON!!!
I need to dedicate a few posts to her about our numerous adventures…dang
nabbit will those blog posts be entertaining…like one time her and I…
Nah, I love her, but this is not one of those dedication
posts…Only because If I started writing about her I would never stop. So for
now I am just going to type one thing to her in order to send some good vibes
I LOVE and MISS YOU
ROCKY (not
her real name) !!!!
Anyway so yesterday I posted about "surviving graduations" and
today I went through all the beautiful photos I took yesterday and realized…Holy Crap…I
am a TERRIBLE photographer! Why and How? Well, apparently for most ceremony I thought this one kid was my brother but APPARENTLY it wasn’t.
I have about 100 pictures of a complete stranger whom from afar looked
completely like my brother…Then the one picture I actually have of Silvio...it is blurry as can be... Needless to say Silvio is ready to strangle me! Not
my fault however because the camera was just awful and that kid could have been
him…but it wasn’t…damn doppelgangers
Anyway yesterday I made a list dedicated to how the one
graduating can survive the ceremony…so today I am doing the vice versa…
So Here is a quick list of
HOW TO SURVIVE BEING
A SPECTATOR AT A GRADUATION!:
1) Whether
you are a family member, good friend, significant other, or something else
important know that at SOME POINT your darling graduate will look up to find you
in the crowd…and this will happen at the worst
point in time
a. for
example: Your graduate will look up at you just as you are looking the most disinterested,
leaving for the bathroom, bored, or have the “get the hell out of the joint” look…this
will in turn break their spirits
2) The
“time space continuum” goes to hell during a graduation…after a short time it
will seem as if time will slow down…and believe me, no matter How proud you are
of your graduate…you will begin to check your watch more and more…in fact, the
more proud you are the slower time will go.
3) Something
I fell prey to…MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A WORKING CAMERA!...During the ceremony the camera
would take picture not when I wanted to…but during the most inconvenient of times.
I have so many pictures of the man’s bald spot who sat in front of me. I feel
like I gave him a sun burn from the flash…
4) Graduations
have long speeches and a lot of sitting. While that is all well and good, you will
be bored for the entire ceremony, excluding the 10 seconds that your loved one
is on stage
5) Make
sure you take pictures of the right kid…
6) You
will begin to hallucinate during the names…you will laugh at some of the names…and
you WILL hate the parents that sound like they named their kids after vegetables
or strippers
7) I
repeat…MAKE SURE YOU TAKE PICTURES OF THE RIGHT KID!
8) You
will be surprised how many kids have “awkward” names…
9) BRING
A SNACK! It helps…
10) Lastly,
when taking photos with the graduate…pride can totally register as some SERIOUS
“murder eyes” in photos
 |
| .... look how proud I am of you...muahahaha... |
Anyway, tomorrow I have another Silvio event!! I am feeling
way better!! My Sack filled with medications is totally working!! I should be
able to celebrate thirsty Thursday with the way the meds are working!
Readers, I am getting some amazing private messages and feedback so thank you for that.
Some responses to questions from the crowd…
1) Yes,
I really do LOVE Russians…they are my second biggest subscribing country
2) Yes,
I really do LOVE drinking
3) I
know…I know…I have not done many “drinking stories” but they are coming
4) Yes,
I am a jerk…I have accepted this fact as true
5) I
know that my blog has not changed in anyway visually…but my friend Kayla and I
are working on it…so hold your horses…
CHEERS, SALUTE, CHIN CHIN!!!
Read, Share, and Enjoy!
