Phone rings. It&#8217;s The Silver Fox.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m walking out the door, dude. I can&#8217;t take it anymore. I&#8217;ll be there around 6pm.&#8221; He&#8217;s using that I&#8217;m-going-fucking-crazy voice.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m feeling it too. The last two weeks have been very stressful. The closer I get to graduation, the more paperwork I have to fill out and the more hoops I have to jump through. I need to let loose.<\/p>\n<p>This weekend isn&#8217;t going to be a calm, kick-back, sip a few beers and tell stories weekend. This weekend is going to be a sloppy ass drunk, blackout, wake up with the door wide open weekend. It&#8217;s gonna get bad.<\/p>\n<p>I hang up the phone and immediately, without even thinking about what I&#8217;m doing, grab the icechest and start walking towards the door. I&#8217;m on autopilot as I walk down the stairs, get in my truck, and go to the gas station. I&#8217;m thinking about all the stuff I have due on Monday and how I just don&#8217;t give a flying fuck.<\/p>\n<p>I walk in and grab a 30-pack of Coors Light. King size bag of ice under one arm, beer under the other, I walk up to the counter to pay.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Hey Tom, is your friend coming up tonight?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I can&#8217;t help but laugh. These cats know me too well. Hell, I&#8217;ve been going in there for almost two years now. I bet they go bankrupt when I move away.<\/p>\n<p>I walk outside to my truck and oh-so-delicately arrange the beers in the icechest. Layer of ice on the bottom, perfectly spaced out cans so they can breathe, another layer of ice, repeat. I&#8217;m a god damn perfectionist. These beers are going to be so fucking cold by the time The Silver Fox gets here. I drive around the corner and park.<\/p>\n<p>So now I&#8217;m home, I&#8217;ve got an ice cold ice chest full of ice cold beer and ice. I&#8217;m mad-dogging the bottle of rum on the counter. I&#8217;m fucking ready. The Silver Fox should be here within the hour.<\/p>\n<p>Pray for us. Hope we don&#8217;t do anything TOO stupid&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>See ya Monday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I get home at 4pm. Phone rings.
