And a Happy 613 Day to You...

At 11:32 i sent out a text message to the members of 613 that read:
"Is 613 Day excuse enough to do a power hour alone at 12pm on a wed? I have the day off and am trying to plan my day."

Not so surprisingly enough, almost as soon as I flipped closed my phone i get a response from Tony: "Of course it is"
This message was quickly followed by Rands text, who was on the ball enough to send a message sometime late last night which was early this morning for us east coasters wishing us all a happy 613 Day, that read: "Absolutely yes"

So, with T and Rand's powers combined I was persuaded to partake in a viewing of College Power Hour...although i also received a text from Sam saying unsurprisingly enough "i totally forgot what day it is"

I then proceeded to go to the supermarket to pick up stuff for dinner later in the evening bc i knew that I would be in no condition to go pick up the stuff later. Upon returning i made the move to go down to the basement refrigerator to grab my beer for the newt hour and the door knob was broken. My persistent banging on the door grabbed the attention of my younger brother, who previously declined to partake in the power hour, to get up from watching the first season of the Sopranos to help me with the door. After i futilely tried to open the door with an old gift card (thanks a lot bry) and my brother unscrewed the doorknob i thought all was lost. But, determined to celebrate 613 Day correctly I managed to shimmy the door open with a screw driver

So cheerfully, as i made my way up to my room with my 4 bottles of Ithaca Apricot Wheat and 2 cans of Coors Light my brother stopped me and asked "Are you really doing this by yourself?" to which I responded deadly serious, "If i must"

As I settled into position with my beers, the shot glass from Korova from my 21st Bday, and a notepad and pen to keep track of my thoughts and musings during the hour i pressed Play on the dvd remote...

I let out my first nostalgic sigh...this happens later than I had expected

1:36 = Girlfriends

1:53 = Lim responds to my Text with "Go for it...no reason not to"

1:54 = Champs
I wore my Champs shirt one night while in the Bahamas and was by no definition of the word a Champion, i was a drunken mess....although, i was still more of a Champion than Sam was when he wore his shirt the night of his apt warming party

1:55 = Graduation
Ahhhhhhhhhh
613 int he snow...how perfect

Closing Remarks = Oh Katie Sherwin...remember her? She was a good time. Whatever happened with that one? (and yes, I am admitting that I am saying that in hopes that you will read this Ms Sherwin and be compelled to comment)

Hope all of your days were as 613 filled as mine was
