2 Games, 2 Birthdays, a holiday, family all in One week

Holiday & Family

It was nice to be home for Thanksgiving. I got to spend time with both of my nieces, my sister and my mother. It was fairly uneventful. I went to the park & played a little ball with my niece. I  helped cook dinner (Mac & Cheese, Mashed potatoes). Mom made the Turkey & mixed Veggie. As you can see below my niece made the deserts and set the table.  My godson was in town and I got to spend some time with him. Nothing like family time.





Two birthday celebrations and a basketball game

I got to celebrate the birthdays of two people very close to me. We started off with a little singing for Sam. We followed that up with the basket ball game.  My step bad, Sam, B and I all went. An ATL win over the Clips surprised us all. After that me and the two birthday people went out to Harlem Knight Lounge. Had a few drinks (I  was the DD). We didn't make it to part three of the double celebration but went for part four (food) before calling it an early morning at 4a. 




Flacons Game & More

After having to come back to Albany for a few days I headed back to ATL for some more fun. A big game in the GA Dome against our only loss at that point and rival NO. I picked up my game mate up from the airport and checked into the hotel. She of course is a Saints fan. Anyway, we took the Marta to the game. The Dome rocked. We had awesome seats and came out with a big win. I was pumped. I can't say the same for Jodie. But the fun didn't stop at that after a late dinner B picked us up. We went out to a bar. We had some fun. I still don't know why Jodie didn't accept that dance offer when she knew she wanted to. Lost opportunity. We followed that up the next day with a late start to the day. We went to the World of Coke & got to see the setup for the SEC game for College Game Day. After dinner we headed to play some bowling. Took a little while after Apple Maps sent us on a goose chase for an alley and a little curb action. She did beat me both games but the bowling alley's balls sucked ( I still would have lost). We decided to end the trip with a little session at the shooting range compliments of B. Jodie is a mean clip holder shooter. B got one shot the zombie eye on his first shot. We are now officially mean zombie killing machines. Of course Jodie ended up getting checked at the airport and tested positive for gun residue. I guess it isn't the best idea to go to shot off a few rounds before going to the airport but all worked out and the weekend was a success.

Tebow Time

I went to the Buffalo Vs. Denver game to see Tim Tebow take on the Bills Christmas Eve (Just seemed right). I have been trying to go to a game all year but it kept falling through. I found  friend to go with and went for it. I got seats five rows from the field. It was nice because it has been unseasonably warm for western New York.

When I got to Ralph Wilson Stadium I was surprised to see what I saw. The Stadium looked like a minor league baseball stadium not a NFL stadium. Even the "nose bleeds" where not bad. I was very happy to see my seat had been so close.

The game started off awesome. I got to see Tim score a rushing touchdown (I started him for my Fantasy Football team to add a little excitement). It seemed like through out the game most of the touchdowns had been scored in the end zone I was next to. All four of Tebow touchdowns had been scored in our endzone (the two to his team and the 2 pick sixes) and a punt return for a TD by the Bills.

We sat on the Bills side of the Stadium. When the game first kicked off the stadium was fairly empty. The  bills fans next to us where funny. They heckled the Bills players every time they messed up. One guy said man this guy is going to miss this field goal because it is to easy of a kick. Well the kick was no good. The Bills' kicker missed another field goal after that also. The center kept messing up the snap and the guys kept screaming at the center. It was pretty funny. By this time the Stadium had filled up some.

However, things got nasty with some other Bills' fans when they saw a Broncos' fan in the row in front of them. At first it was funny. Chanting White cargo pants (the guy was wearing white snowboarding pants- it was cold). The Bronco fan didn't pay much attention to them. It got nasty once they wouldn't stop. hey also started calling the kid names and attacking hi directly. The usher asked them to stop once but they continued. Other Bills fans in the area felt bad and stuck up for him to no avail. I ended up texting security. A few of them had left before security got down to the area (to use the restroom). The ones that had been around got kicked out when they came down. When the other fans came back the (around the time TIm through his first pick six) they continued to go in on the kid and took his friends hat.

I snapped and told them to "SHUT THE FUCK UP". The girls looked at me and "oh what is your deal". THey started to talk trash to me but they stopped quickly (maybe they noticed I wasn't going to take that crap). I also showed them my Falcons jersey. I felt bad because my friend with me had to see all that. They calmed down a little. THe guy who had got the most of the shit turned around to them and said Merry Christmas & Have a safe drive home to them. They called him a fag and said you to. That kid is a champ because I wouldn't have been able to say quite. A some of the Bills fans next to us left (the ones heckling the kicker) thanked me for texting Security and wished a Merry Christmas.

Although the fans, who I think may have been mildly retarded, put a damper on the end of the game I still enjoyed it. It was a little cold and Tim Tebow didn't come through at the end. It was still a nice game to see. It was nice going to the game with a Tebow/Football fan. I would definatly go to another game at Ralph Wilson Stadium.
