I have to admit, I kinda like telling some stories I swore I would never tell
so Let's go back to the Summer
and for the benefit of the innocent I won't give out any names on this one
while at work one day, a commercial came out for a swimming pool company
It showed a particular pool at an apartment complex
that pool looked familiar
while watching the commercial I got really quiet while watching it
my co-worker asked me
"are you ok Vince?"
I said,"um..yeah...I think I've been to that pool."
at this time, a memory came flooding over me at that instant
during the summer I was invited to a pool party
but I wasn't told it was a pool party
side note here: if you've ever seen me in shorts consider yourself a dear close personal friend of mine
I NEVER wear shorts
but i do own a pair or two and if told that it was a pool party I would have dressed accordingly
but I didn't
and while everyone was frolicking in the pool I was sitting poolside drinking beer
since I wasn't swimming I was drinking a lot of beer
then it was time to go inside for the BBQ
while inside I continued to drink and not eat
then a crazy roommate comes in full of piss, vinegar,and pills
everyone at this point has been drinking beer and smoking pot
including me which is very rare
at one point this skinny raver roommate starts asking people if they want some Zanax
some people say yes and others decline
the ones that decline he threw a tab into their beer anyway
with or without their knowledge
he did this to everyone but me
so we mingle some more
later I tell him,"you drugged everyone at this party except me."
he says, "My bad, you looked like you were having a good time without this."
I told him, "well I don't want to be rude, hook a brother up."
so he takes a tab and throws it in my beer
it foams and I drink it fast
and after a few minutes I'm under the influence of everything
and I start to get upset that I got left out of the swimming part of the pool party
so I suggest that we all go back down to the pool
except I ask the raver if he has a pair of trunks I could borrow
he does and I change
I'm wearing my original shirt and his trunks
boxers, jeans, socks and shoes stay at the apartment
we go down to the pool and I get some impromtu swimming lessons
I can kinda survive in the water now but under everything I did that night I'm surprised I wasn't swimming on the concrete thinking I was doing a good job
anyway at one point everyone leaves the pool and goes back upstairs
I'm now swimming alone and think I've had enough
so I get out and for some reason I take my shirt and shorts off and wrap a towel around me
except for the towel I'm only wearing a smile and some bloodshot eyes
when trying to leave the pool I remember that the girl that lived there had trouble opening the gate to the pool
so I couldn't be bothered with it
I've been known to do a mean flip over trucks, walls, gates, fences, and people
but I'm not usually in this condition whenever I do that
so I flip over the gate and I land ugly
the ground came up much faster than I realize and I stun myself with my fall
I stand up and realize that during that botched flip, my towel came off
and I'm rolling on the ground buck naked
and stand up in my birthday suit
I calmy snatch the towel and kinda walk off holding it next to me before putting it back on
I wonder if there was a family waiting to get in the gate during all of this
I personally would have love to see what this looked like from afar
whenever I get back upstairs I yell at everyone for leaving me down there
I borrow some big ass baggy clothes and make my way home
back at the station in present day my co-worker asks me,"really?" (in response to me recognizing the pool and telling her I think I've been there before)
Me:"yeah, there's a funny story about that..."
