This one time in HS me and my football teammates decided to hit a strip club on the outskirts of town the night before a game. We were all looking to blow off some steam because our coach was such a hard ass. Well the night just got crazy. Alcohol flowing everywhere even though none of us produced an ID. We were kind of a big deal in town and got away with a lot. The strippers loved us and hung all over us all night. The best part was when our center got up on stage to strut his stuff. When we left the sun was rising. Needless to say we got our asses handed to us that night. By the end of the game we all needed IVs from dehydration. Our coach chewed us out something fierce after the game. But it was worth it and I solidified myself as the team leader that night.
I attended Peking University through a Columbia University program in college one summer. I was supposed to be taking intermediate mandarin classes but did poorly on the entrance exam so I had to re-do beginner Chinese in Beijing.
I wasn’t happy and classes were pretty easy so ended up going to the club a lot and slaughtering countless Green tea + Chivas. One night after hitting the clubs pretty hard with some friends, I must have blacked out or something because I woke up on the lawn in front of the library at Peking University. As I woke up, I realized I was on a lawn but not only that but there was a circle of Chinese people around me wondering if some white guy was dead on the lawn in front of the library of the most prestigious university in China. I got up, dusted myself off, broke through the circle of Asians around me, walked across the street out of the east gate and took a shower and went to class.
I was literally 100 yards from the apartment. Still not sure why I decided to go to sleep on the grass.
This one time… It was a saturday night… I was doing my usual, reading a good romance novel at home, got the cat, wearing the robe and the fluffy footers… and then… I went crazy… made a cup of tea… put not 1… not 2… but 3 cubes of sugar in.
