Hookahs and Sleeping In

December 28th
Hung out with Dan and JoMo and went to [what used to be] Nona's...it's now a hookah bar...
Yeah my first experience with tobacco and smoke and all...
Don't knock it til you try it...right? And how could I turn down something that's mango flavored? [insert flashback, Russian bar]
The lounge was very relaxing and it smelled pretty good...
But the preparation time took forever...
Then the guy brought it out and we each had a go...
Nothing special, don't know what all the fuss is about really...a nice hint of mango...and blowing out smoke is kinda calm and relaxing...throat just became a little dry...
It wasn't bad, but it wasn't good either...it was "meh"...whatever...I still don't understand...
But, if people enjoy it they have every right to choose to do it...
It's like hitting yourself with a hammer...hey, I don't recommend it, but if you're into that kind of stuff, do it, just don't hit other people...

Then hung out with Mike and Raul at the former's house...
Another great episode of The Young Ones, then Anchorman....
The movie has it's "ups" and "downs"....Joe and Raul fell asleep during one of the "down" parts of the movie...
Shaving cream on Raul's hand...

December 29th
Woke up around 3pm...I decided to sleep in...
Drove over to my uncle's house during the evening...
That was weird cause I haven't driven in a while, but it's one of those things you can never forget after you've learned...

I haven't spent time with my cousins in like 3 months...
When I came back on the 24th they wanted to see me...kept calling me...
But I've managed to [unintentionally] avoid them for a few days...
Their grandparents were doing fine...
And Ari is getting pretty good at the violin...
They grow up so damn fast...

Their crash, their kiss, they harmonize..."
