Well, this weekend was... interesting to say the least.
Never thought three people could pull off so much crazy shit and not die. To explain, Rebecca introduced me to Greg Friday. And let me say, he is
the incarnation of the small but present dangerous/crazy side of Rebecca. I can
definitely tell they are related. So, onto the events of Friday evening: Greg
brought us to his favorite club, and told us to not get too drunk, because a
hangover would ruin the weekend. Which, I have to agree with him on now. After the
very long night at the club, we took a cab to his condo and crashed there for
the night.
Greg woke us up bright and early, at a blaring 5 AM. After our 3
hours of beauty sleep, we were taken far into the "nearby" desert, and after what
seemed like an eternity of driving, we finally stopped. And that is when he unveiled just
where exactly he was taking us. Rebecca had a huge smile on her face almost the
entire time Greg was explaining it. But, needless to say, Greg took us out to
his own, self-built desert motocross/trophy truck, crazy factory. This guy is a
freaking adrenaline junkie.
After a whole day of having bat-shit insane fun, we
called it a day and Greg brought out the main event. He pulled out a cart
filled, to the brim, with fireworks/roman candles. And we had a war. A full on
fireworks war. No casualties surprisingly, though Greg thought he broke a rib
from a direct hit. Then, after the war, we had our own little fireworks show, which
brought back memories from the Fourth. As the night progressed though, I got
this nagging sense of dread, like I was being watched constantly. But Greg
later made me more comfortable when he showed me his “armory” at his compound.
He owns a lot of guns. That’s all that needs to be said. He then continued to
show me where we’d be sleeping, and said to be ready bright and early to go
blazing through the desert and go shooting for the majority of the day. Which
was awesome, considering I’d never shot a firearm before. And we just got back
a little over an hour ago. So the weekend was definitely filled with fun. Oh! Want
to know the self-appointed name of his compound? FAW-BAK. Which is “Frequently
Awesome World-Breaking Action Kompound" Man, this guy is amazing.
