It has been a while since there has been any action at my office, to divert my attention from working.  But today was my lucky day… thanks St. Patrick’s Day!  Luck of the Irish for me!

This guy spent quite a bit of time sitting outside my office window this morning and having one HELL of a conversation with himself!

I am guessing he was so talkative because he was WASTED and chugging a 40 ounce at 9am, on the side of an office building.  What’s crazy, is he is not the typical looney tune that frequents the area around my office.  This guy had on spiffy new white shoes, a shiny watch and a lanyard around his neck with keys on it… like he had an actual job or something.  Yet there he sat, swigging beer and talking to himself.

Then, as fast as he came into my life… he was gone.  Just left his beer and walked off, leaving me with an empty hole in my heart and my work to get back to.

So my co-worker Bill had to go out and try to help fill the void that was left inside me.  He is always going the extra mile for me.

As good of a fill-in as he was… it just wasn’t the same.  Sometimes, you just cannot replace the original - just ask “New Coke” from 1985!

UPDATE… BREAKING NEWS:

His day got NO BETTER!!!  We had lost track of him for a while after he walked off… then spotted him up at 7-11 - YES THAT 7-11 - Soooo, we made Bill go up there and scope him out.  The guy tried to pay for a piece of cheese with a handful of pennies.  When the clerk told him it was not enough, he reached into his pocket and a whole bunch of other pieces of cheese came spilling out, so he just left the store.  Unlucky for him, a cop was pulling in just as this was all happening, got the scoop from the clerk and followed the guy across the street into the crazy’s parking lot, where Bill also followed to get some pictures of him being arrested.  Poor guy.  All he wanted today was to get piss-ass drunk and eat some cheese.  Poor guy!

We survived another St. Patrick’s Day in Ocean View and had a blast doing so.  We could NOT have asked for better weather for the day - 66 and sunny all day!  We got down to the parade to kick things off pretty early and met up with some friends to tailgate, cracking our first beers for the day around 10am.  We also had a jug of pre-made “red-headed slut” shots to enjoy in between beers during the parade.  We hung out at a friend’s house for a bit after the parade chit-chatting and drinking beers, before heading to our hotel to drop stuff off and check in.  From there, we walked down to Dena’s daughter’s house.  Cristin was having a party complete with kegs, jell-o shooters and FOOD!

After a few more beers and several rounds of jello-shooters, we picked up Dena and Heidi and started the trek down to Greenies for more beer and partying.  Greenies was BEYOND packed this year.  It was CRAZY!  Complete madness and awesome at the same time!

Did I mention how GORGEOUS it was outside?  We could not get enough of it!  We hung out at Greenies for a bit, then made the next trek from Greenies to The Thirsty Camel!  Personally, this is my favorite place to go on this particular day.  I always have the most fun here.

This is where my brother met up with us and the insanity set in.  Billy quickly did a large quantity of shots to “catch up” to us and then had us all laughing our asses off.  This is also where I met up with the Sheriff’s Deputy that was on duty last year and TOTALLY remembered me!  Dena and I spent about an hour hanging out with him in his corner between the bar and the entrance to the outdoor tented area.  We proceeded to ask every person that walked through that doorway to see their ID and told them we needed to pat them down.  They looked at us with beers in our hands and looked at him and he said “you better let them do it if you want to get in…” - AWESOME!  Then he left us for a while to take care of things on our own.  I was DYING.

One of the people that we frisked coming in the door was a woman with Downs Syndrome… who was DRINKING HER ASS OFF.  I was shocked - and I was DRUNK.  Completely shocked… but not as shocked as this:

When my brother challenged her to a dance off.  I AM DEAD SERIOUS.  Who the hell does that????  I mean a circle formed around them and they kept taking turns popping and locking and break dancing, then high-fiving each other.  I was peeing my pants I was laughing so damn hard!

After The Thirsty Camel, we headed to another bar called Captain Ron’s to see a friend of our’s band play.  Nadine, Big Kev and Billy played some darts - very emotional darts.

We did A LOT of dancing… a lot more drinking and then my brother took it to the next level…

We had so much fun.  By the end of the night, my cheeks hurt so bad from laughing it was giving me a headache.  We got back to the hotel around 12:30.  WE MADE IT PAST MIDNIGHT!!!  We were so damn proud of that fact.  Somehow, I got up the next morning at 6am with ZERO hangover, showered, met up with the clan and we all headed to breakfast at the Silver Diner.  Another AMAZING year down in Ocean View.  Cannot wait until next year!!!

Here are all the photos from the day:
