The Last Thirsty Thursday

It’s Thursday at 7pm again and you already know what that means…Its time to leave the office and go party the night away. It’s the last Thursday of the summer so I have to make this night the Best Thirsty Thursday for summer 2010. So I say good night to the building security as I make my way out the office and hop on the train back up to Harlem. When I arrive home I find my roommate and some of my friends hanging out and getting ready for the night. After we are all dressed and ready to go we head down to the Upper West Side to meet up with my brother Max and some of his friends. As usual we hit up the liquor store to get our favorites because these days it’s all about the pregame.

Once we are all together we head down to Melo’s penthouse to start the night off there. Melo and his girlfriend already had some friends there so we all began chatting and listening to music. It was a cool chill vibe there and after some time we all decide to start up a game of beer pong. We played for hours and my partner Trini and I slaughtered every team regardless of age or gender. Our toughest opponents that night were the combo of Melo and Max who played on basketball teams for years. Trini and I struggled with our skills during that match up from all the beer they made us drink.

Everyone decided to head back to the Upper West Side bars. We all piled into about 4 cabs and made our way up to the bars on Amsterdam. We arrive at Jake’s Dilemma where my friend Jessica’s boyfriend bar tends. The group spread out across the bar to mingle with people we knew and random stranger alike. We played pool and threw back shots of just about every top shelf drink at the bar. I suck at pool but had a really great time trying. I mean it helped that I met this really cute guy who coached me through every move in the game. After playing pool we danced so much I ended up taking my shoes off and walking around bare foot. We were all a bit tired but didn’t want to end the night so most of us decided to head out and go to my friend Maggie’s house to end the night over there.

We all arrived at Maggie’s house, all the girls dropped their heels like a bad habit. It was awesome because it reminded me of an old fashion high school hooky party. We played all kinds of games like spin the bottle, and “Never Ever”. As usual I still have to make it to work in the morning so I decided to head home. As my roommate and I made our way outside I saw Lamont parked right outside with a big smile on his face saying “U need a cab miss”. For a sec I thought to myself how in the world he knew where I was and then it hit me. I live my life out loud and he follows me on Twitter lol!!!
