Birmingham, Titans Game, Thanksgiving

Aside from spending a ton of time watching football, not too much else is going on. School is just about over for the semester. Next week is dead week, which is just the week before exams. I actually have just two exams the following week though. One of my classes is already complete, and two others I have sort of easy projects due next week and that'll be it. I will be in Las Vegas by late Tuesday, December 9th.

This past weekend I went to Birmingham to relax. I joined a bunch of my friends at the bar for a couple drinks on Saturday night. At some point around 2:30 a.m. Sunday morning the discussion of NFL came up between me and my friends Justin and Cole. I was pretty sure Brett Favre and the Jets were in Nashville later that day to play the unbeaten Titans. I verified it on my cell phone, and we decided that we were gonna go :) This is the kind of cool shit I do with my roommates in Vegas, so it was nice to kind of relive those experiences. We got some food at this late night place, Al's, on the southside of Birmingham and then got a ride to a friend's house to relax for a couple hours. We were on the road by 6 a.m. without any sleep. We arrived in Nashville around 9 and went straight to the bars on Broadway including world famous "Tootsie's". They had an early bird special 2 for 1 beers, and we made sure not to miss any value. At 11:15, we stumbled across the pedestrian bridge to LP field. We found a pretty good deal for 3 tickets together in the club level and made it inside for the kickoff at noon. We knocked down a bunch of beers in the game and we all fell asleep at least once. The Jets pretty much blew out the Titans. It was cool to see Favre play.

After the game we headed over to a friend of mine's house in Nashville to shower and relax some more. Then, Sunday night we returned back to Broadway street to eat and drink a lil more. It was an unbelievable trip. When we finally got to sleep we'd been awake about 40 hours straight and had been drinking through the majority of those hours. I'll never forget it. I'm glad I'm young, single and can afford to do it.

I've been updating so infrequently that I forgot to mention I've been eating really healthy and weigh just 197 lbs as of this morning. This is the least I've weighed in 3 years. If I could get down to like 185 I'd be really happy. Alas, Thanksgiving is tomorrow and I'm sure I'll gain like 8 lbs. I hope everyone enjoys their Thanksgiving. As much as we all bitch everyday, we all still have so much to be thankful for. Life could be much worse.
