BBQ and BBQ

So we Cale and I did go to the BBQ Sunday. It was nice enough but weird. Everybody there worked together or were related. So it was a lot of boat stuff and such which I don't know that much about. Well, I know a little more about it know. I got to meet some new people again. There was this one guy there, who is a Turkish immigrant. He knows nothing about the American history. He seriously got me wondering how he got citizenship. I knew way more than he did about it. I think he might be one of the only people in the world who did not know about the 4th of July or what thanksgiving is about. Seriously...

We had yet another BBQ on Monday, so yesterday. It was way better weather than it was the day before and lots of fun. Twon, the neighbor was here around 4 pm and the rest of the people came about 5 or 6 pm. Danielle, Rhiannon's best friend I had met already and I get along great with her. David is Rhi's former roommate and I get along great with him as well. Besides Cale and Rhi, David is one of the people I see most around here. There were some new faces there as well. Bryan and Vanessa and Bryan's best friend Dale. They too work on the boat and Rhiannon had invited them so I could meet Dale. A single, 22 year old guy. I met him, we got along. Whatever, right...

I'll tell you one thing though. I'm not drinking for at least a while. God I was sick today. Tip: don't mix tequila, almond champagne, wine and beer. It's a recipe for a disaster. As I would find out at 6 o'clock this morning. Great.... My stomach is so mad at me. But it's all good. I'm still happy, haha. Owh but really, Almond Champagne is the best. Try it... Little amounts though... haha.

I had today gotten an e-mail from Poetry.com again. I'm nominated for Poet of the year. In order to really be able to win you have to go to the convention though. That July 19-22. You get to read your own poem up on stage and they got artist to perform as well. The events will be in Las Vegas, Nevada. In hotel Riviera on the strip. There's a problem though. I will be back in Holland by then, for just a month. So I won't be able to get enough money together for my plane ticket and the convention. I then there's still the hotel to consider, which would bring me to a grand total of about 1500 dollars. No way I can raise that kind of money in a month. So I'll have to bypass it. A nomination, for poet of the year. Shit... But who knows, maybe there will be others, right.
