So I'm back in the real world again, no more Florida fun for me. But Florida was quite a fantastic time. The food was utterly and completely perfect. The booze was utterly perfect. The people, though exhibiting a nice bit of redneck, were perfect. I had a most excellent time. First, I got to stand around and enjoy the spoils of the great smoker. On the smoker was 5 pork butts, hot Italian sausage, venison sausage, venison steak, lamb, kingfish. Then there was also the venison stew, which was so good and rich that it was to die for. I was dissapointed that the guy who had been hunting alligator didn't turn up with anything, that would also have been great. But man, I was so happy with all that meat, its like a candy store except for carnivores. Mmmm, meat.
Then there was the booze. Moonshine my friends, is a potent friend to have. There were three kinds, raspberry, blackberry and peach. The peach was so smooth I could drink it without even realizing that it was 100% alchohol. The others, while they tasted great, were very easily noticed as grain alcohol. Between that, the whiskey and beer, I was doing quite well by the end of the evening. I was drinking from 8am, with the guys at the smoker, till 3 am, where I abruptly passed out. I even got up and sang with the band. Hehehe. Man, I was lit up during that. Plus, every other person there kept asking me if I wanted to go have a smoke. I held off, because otherwise my night would have been done much sooner, and I still felt like I had to play a lot more.
As for the people, they may have been rednecks, but they were just good people. Besides, I've found at times that I can exhibit a bit of the redneck syndrome as well. It comes easy to those who grew up among them. Good old Nebraska, if it weren't for you, I'd be a very different man.
As soon as I got back, life kicked into full swing, and with a vengence. First night back I went to a party. Second night back, hung out with friends and just chat and such the night away. Last night, cleaned up from previous night and vacation mess. Tonight, I'm going to screen a film thats near completion, hopefully get a haircut, and make some needed calls. Thank god for vacation, but damn, I think I'm about to ruin the effects of vacation within a week. Oh well, I guess I'll have to plan something else soon.
That about finishes off what's floating around in my mind.
