Lords Of Shwatown.
On Thursday the 20th of April I was picked up by my dad at around 15:00 hours. It was a long process of taking down those posters and vinyl records from my walls. Packing up papers and textbooks into GrandNToy boxes. Stuffing hordes of dirty laundry into duffle and gym bags. When everything got packed into the Buick we set off for Oshawa. Along the way my dad of course inquires about what's going on for my exams and asking what I'm going to be doing in the summertime. I put on my MD player though and listened to some Death Cab For Cutie and gazed out into the fast moving landscapes. I'd stop listening to it periodically to start conversation with my dad just so he is not bored. Before arriving home we stop in the LCBO and then Sobeys to get some wine and some hamburgers for dinner. At this point I'm actually anticipating my arrive at home for I have no been there in such a long while. When we finally do get home I walk into the door and my dog goes crazy as expected and hangs around my legs the whole time. Until feeding time really. I go outside and kick this big red ball around for the dog to try and keep her away from the BBQ. It stopped working after a while though, cause my pup loves the grease and BBQ sauce that falls down. So I had to barricade her from going near it. I gave up eventually cause the hamburgers were all done and so we sat down to eat them. Shortly after dinner I receive a phone call from Jordan's house and it was Jay on the other line.
"Hey how's it going?" He says.
"Who is this?"
"It's Jay."
"Who?"
"Jay."
"Who?"
"... It's Danger calling." He then says. A little lame inside joke, it will be the last one on here I swear.
They tell me that they are coming to pick me up and then head over to the Waltzing Weasel for some drinks. I say sure and go upstairs to get ready. My dad slips me some money and I went out the door and waited for their car. I sat on the concrete steps looking up at the setting sun which caused the sky to turn a purplish hue surrounding it, the rest was a darkening blue. Jay's Toyota Echo rolls up and I hop inside. "Hey, I didn't know you were in Oshawa." Kate says.
"Oh, yup, I'm here."
"You didn't tell me you bum, next time I want a heads up!"
We arrive at the Waltzing Weasel in Courtice and get seated in a booth situation with two round tables. The waitress puts them together and walks away to get menus. I pull them apart to avoid another Tartan situation (check the archives). I order a strongbow draft and the rest of the knuckleheads order pina coladas. "You know, I make a mean Colada." I said. Pete and Nelson stroll in and sit down. We have some conversation and also ordered some wings too, but they were really lame. After were were done Jay decides to drop Kate off at home and go home himself, Nelson and Pete go to play some Xbox, so I went with Jordan to his house.
He sets up his NES for me and pops in Vice by Sammy Studios. It's a pretty fun game, although suffers a little in gameplay (what NES game didn't) because objects that look like they were in the background actually hurt your lifepoints. He calls up his friend and we go Scarborough to pick her up. When we get to Scarborough I'm reunited with all my old route points that I did during my stay with GreenLawn and I wouldn't shut up about it. When we picked up her friend we drove to a Tim Hortons and had some coffee and conversation. She actually couldn't stay out later than midnight (even though she's 22) so we had to drop her off again. At that point we call up Jay who also lives in Scarborough.

"Hello?"
"Hey Jay, are you sleeping?"
"Nope, just watching a movie."
"We got something here of yours is it ok if we come over?"
"Sure, what is it?"
"Ok, we'll be be there in 10 minutes."
"... Ok."
We arrive soon after and then hang out in his apartment. I instantly want to check out the skyline cause he is 15 floors up. When I get outside Jordan tells me to look down cause it looks scary. I do so holding my hat in case it flys off. He takes both hands and shakes my shoulders and that makes my heart drop a bit. We both start laughing. I take some photos with my cell phone and then went back inside. We sat there watching some Jackass and then me and Jay played a little Xbox and we went home.

"It's Jay."
