Fun is dangerous.

22Jul07

I had way too much fun yesterday and now I’m hurting big time.

First, I went to a charity kickball game at a local park. Some buddies and I were heading to the after party and as we walked through the park we were throwing a frisbee. One frisbee throw went a little long and I was running to catch it when I caught site of something that distracted me. The distraction was a big, hairy guy in nothing but a speedo laying out in the park. I was so intent on figuring out why speedos hadn’t been banned outside of swimming pools that I didn’t see the ditch in front of me. I took a mighty tumble and came up with a little less skin on one of my knees. I also didn’t catch the frisbee and I think speedo man saw me bite it.

I finally made it to the after party despite the speedo-man-run-away-frisbee incident. The after party took place at a new park in my hood called the Carroll Creek Linear Park, which is really nice but not too shady. I was having such a great time enjoying the live music and drinking beers with my kickball cronies that I didn’t really notice the sun slowly sizzling my face like bacon.

After my face was nice and red I met up with the family and we all made our way to a friend’s birthday party. The party was filled with great people, games for the kids, and excellent food. One item on the menu was some delicious barbecued chicken. I got myself a huge-mungus sandwich of the tender BBQ and proceeded to dig right in. I should have let the sandwich cool a little longer though because my tongue immediately received a third degree burn from the scolding hot meat.

So I am tired from all of yesterday’s merriment, plus I have a skinned knee, burned face, scolded tongue, and a horrific mental picture of speedo man burned into my brain. But I wouldn’t have it any other way. Good times!
