Tom Brady's Bachelor Party

Saturday was my cousin, Kim's (Pocahontas') fiance, Jake's (Tom Brady's) bachelor party. I call him Tom Brady because I think he looks like Tom Brady. Maybe not. Anyhow here are the pictures from the day. We had a bus and went to the Brewer Game. This is a group shot shortly after we arrived in the parking lot. Let me tell you, the weather man called this day wrong. It was hot and that sun was beating down. I managed to steal some shade from the White Sox fans parked next to us. I even gave this guy a hug.When I heard that they purchased a half barrel for the party, I got a little excited. For some reason whenever I am around a half barrel I feel the urge to do a keg stand. However I do a bit of a variation to the keg stand as I do push ups while doing the keg stand. I am not sure that I should be proud of this or not, but I did the most push ups and longest keg stand of the group. I believe it was 15 push ups. 36 years old and I can still binge drink with the best of them. Sad but true.Here is a young lady who has a bright future. We had just finished off the half barrel and I just removed the tapper from the keg when this girl came up and asked me if she could do a keg stand. I said "Sure." I explained to her what she needed to do. They raised her legs and I put the tapper in her mouth and she started doing push-ups. Of course with the tapper not connected to the barrel no beer came out. When she finished she said "That was really easy." I told her "You did a great job."I finally got into the game and by this time of the day, the sun was just pounding down on everyone. I walked to our seats in the bleachers stood there for a second and decided that the sun was not the place for me to be and I spent the entire game in the concourse. I would have felt bad about that decision but the Brewers got smoked 7-0. Or at least I think that was what the score was. Here are Jeff, Jon, Justin, Tim and my uncle Dave in the concourse.Here is our group in our seats, this was when I first walked into the stadium. Already they are in trouble with the fuzz. Most of our group got kicked out the game before it was over. For the record, I did nothing wrong other than sneak a flask into the game. That was something of a funny story. As I walked into the stadium by the guys who check for carry-ins, I had a flask in the small of my back. I walked up to the guy with my hands up in the air, turned around once, and gave the guy a hug. He could tell I had been drinking and didn't even pat me down, and let me in.This is my new friend, Greg. I met him in the concourse. He mistakenly almost walked into the woman's bathroom. I think Greg is one of the biggest individuals I have ever met. There was one point while I was talking to him that I girl came up and gave him a hug, he lost his balance and fell on top of her. She was a real trooper. Here is Greg with my brothers, Jon and Dan.I have no problem taking these kind of pictures, because I know what it feels like to be on the losing end of these battles. These three cops took this White Sox fan down hard. I would have felt sorry for they guy, but again I know what that feels like plus he was a Sox fan. There was another cop there who told me to stop taking pictures. Sure I will get on that right away.Here is a group photo taken after the game. The remainder of the evening really degenerated from here, at least for me. For some reason, I was not dealing too well with being on the bus. So I decided to jump off the bus and walk home. This is far from the first time I have pulled a stunt like this, ask any of my friends. But walking home was not really the best idea I have ever come up with. As I was walking down 76th street I came across a park. My leg hurt and I was pretty tired, so I laid down and took a nap. When I finally got home, I went right to bed. In hindsight it was a good idea to get off the bus, because it really tired me out, I didn't spend any more money, and I woke up feeling fine. But I do have a reason that justifies my behavior, it doesn't excuse my behavior because I should know better, but it does help explain it. As any blog reader knows, I have had some health issues. Currently I am on a couple different kinds of drugs. Their labels read as follows: "May cause drowsiness. Alcohol intensifies effect." and "May make you drowsy/dizzy, especially with alcohol. Limit alcohol use whie taking this drug." Again these are not excuses, just part of an explanation.
