Whoa. It's like the perfect storm, and when it happened.... I knew I had to revive the blog. Don't die on me now blog, things are just starting to get good!
Once upon a time, 24 hours ago, I decided to celebrate good ol' Oktoberfest. oi oi oi! The culmination of beers and bros in a 1 block span. Count me in! I wake up fully rested, bee-bop over to the gym, and get all dolled up for a lovely fall day celebration. My roommate and I exit the building and casually stroll down to the festivities (can't be too eager. gotta play it cool)
As we arrive, there are bros EVERYWHERE. Must scope out prospects. Time for a walk. As I'm squeezing my way through a crowd, it happens. No. Not what you think happened. But a bro... spilled beer on me. I may or may not have yelled a profanity and tried my best to fake a new york accent and call him a jerk off. In comes knight in shining armor to save the day. "He's not a jerk off. He's my brother and I'm sure he didn't mean to do that." Yikerinos. Gotta get outta here! As I keep on my mission, my roommate says "Aw! He wanted to talk to you!" Then there's me all like "Uh yea but he's 12... let's keep moving." #goaloriented
So we move and I turn around. And there they are again! Beer spilling bro and his brother! They, of course, want to chat. I try for a hot second or two but we discover the age gap is give or take 5 years. Next please.
A few beers and a couple bars later, Beer Spilling Bro's brother shows up again. "HEY! MY BROTHER SPILLED BEER ON YOU!" "yes..." And then it happens. He pulls me in and gives me a big ol' kiss on the cheek. He's not done there. He grabs my roommate and does the same thing. In my head I'm sitting here thinking... is this how kids are making friends these days? I guess I'm just not in on the social norms these days.
Also... unrelated to bros or beer... but apparently New York thinks that EDM is the kind of music played at Oktoberfest. Nah, it's cool NY. I want to teach the future leaders of America that untz untz untzing is a sure way to show that we're super cultured.
