Booze, God,the Diner, Mexican Eggs and the murtock list.

The other day I was watching the show How I Met Your Mother(HIMYM). If you haven't seen it I advise you to see it and/or rent the previous seasons on DVD. Well anyways, the show was talking about something called the Murtock list. I have some background info for you if you haven't seen the show, so bear with me. Detective Murtock is Danny Glover's character in the Lethal Weapon series movies. A line from the movies, spoken by Detective Murtock is, "I'm getting to old for this shit!" The list on the show is things that you may be to old to do now that your older than 30.

I have just reached 32 years of age and time is not being good to me although I did run into some old friends of mine who told me I still look the same as I did when I was 18 or 19. Well, I definitely know that isn't true. I'm not sure if that is even a kind statement or a jab. Since I know my friends who have said that are really nice people then I will take it as an compliment. Even though it's totally untrue. I weigh considerably more than I did back then. I won't get into specifics about weight though. Sorry too embarrassed. I am also gaining a solar panel on the top of my head like most of the men on my dad's side of the family.

But I digress....let's get back to the Murtock list. After seeing the episode of HIMYM and an incident that I had this past weekend, I have decided to begin my own Murtock List. Now I am only going to add things to this list as I need too. As of right now I will only have one item on my list cause I have only realized that I am too old to do it this past weekend. So as I realize these things that I am too old to do I will add them to the list and will probably also tell you about them here on this blog.

Well, this past Saturday my friend Chris had a going away party. He's going away to Iraq in a few weeks and will be serving his country. God Bless him. I pray he comes back in one piece. Well anyways at his party he had an ice luge. I had never been to a party with an ice luge before and I wanted to try it. Somebody brought the Dr. and I did a shot. It was great. At the end of the night though this girl Kerry got me to do another shot on the ice luge. She poured quarter of the pint down the luge and into the mouth. It was the biggest shot I have ever taken since a bad time I had at a Camp Elmwood staff party but that's a story for another day.

I got mad props from the people at the party. I'm not particularly proud of what i did but it was cool for the short time that I was drunk at the party. I got an honorable mention on facebook as well.

But I have realized that I am too old for that shit! which brings us back to the Murtock list. Ice luges are going on the list. I did it once and I don't need to do it again. Plus what happened the next morning was so horrible.

I didn't get in till like 3 or for in the morning. The time is under debate between me and my wife Carla she says more like 4 I say definitely 3. Well I woke up at 8:30am on Sunday I had to get ready to got to church with my family for Palm Sunday. Now I am not overly religious right now but my son was going to be a greeter and an usher and would be taking the offering for the service. He looked damn cute in his 3 piece suit. So I am laying in bed awake with a killer head ache after I have taken my shower. I am feeling ok when out of nowhere my son Cody, hits me in the face with one of his books. It came as a complete shock to me. But after that I was never really the same. I ended up throwing up two times before leaving for church in a hungover state. I got to church and only fell asleep 2 times. God forgive me please. But my son was awesome as the greeter/usher.

I don't know why I keep letting this stuff happen to me. I drink way too much and then I can't even move the next day. I'm not a kid anymore. I was saved after church by a breakfast dish called Mexican eggs Great meal from the Modern Diner in Pawtucket. I have only eaten there twice but both times the food was phenomenal.

But I digress again...the list is started and doing shots on the ice luge is done. While I'm at it to I'm going to steal one from the show HIMYM beer bongs are out too. I have never done a beer bong and don't want to ever but if I'm too old for ice luges I'm too old for beer bongs.

Good bye for now.
