Today is Greg Beck’s 50th birthday, and this would have been a big celebration weekend for him. Greg always updated his blog with his birthday adventures, and here’s my favorite of his birthday posts:

I’ll make this quick and dirty. Friday night after work I went out to celebrate my birthday. Michelle, Raven, Bottle, Rusty, Mito, and various other people joined me. Here are some things I remember.
1. Doing shots with Mito.
2. Doing shots with Bottle.
3. Doing shots with Michelle.
4. Doing shots.
5. Drunkenly talkin to Carrie and Harper about doing a threesome and watching Carrie nip up. (she took it surprisingly well)
6. Watchin Springer and yakking at the hot lesbians sitting at the bar.
7. Coming home and talking Cassie’s ear off.
8. So hung over that the best I could do all day Saturday was sit on the couch and watch ten hours of the science fiction channel

And here are the things I don’t remember.
1. Driving home.
2. Doing shots.
3. Confessing my drunken love to all my friends.
4. Coming home and waking Cassie out of bed and telling her because she’s my roommate now, I can’t, won’t, hit on her any more.
5. My tab.
6. Walkin Michelle to her car and trying to talk her into flashing me and pressing her tits up against the window.

And the number one thing I don’t remember.
1. Sitting in the Cane tonight with Cassie and Michelle and listening as two Westport cops told me that I was so drunk that I asked for their guns so I could off whitey. God truly loves and watches out for the insane. Word.

So kids, if you get out this weekend, have a drink for Greg… you know he would have.

    Great post, great memory. I think I have some Beam at home, I’ll tip him a couple tonight (no shots tho).

  4. Still my favorite blog to this day. Actually, it was after reading his blog, that I decided not all bloggers were cube rats and out of touch suburbanites. Thats when I decided to give it a shot. So you have GB to thank or blame, depending how you look at it. Never met him, and I don’t drink, but I’ll spark one up in his honor.

    Sure do miss him. I know it’s nothing compared to you. But once I found his blog (Thanks Dan!)I read it religiously. Hubby would ask me what I was reading. It was always Greg that gave me the biggest laughs.

    Well that sounds like it was a wonderful birthday. I miss Greg and his stories.

    Birthdays.. and anniversaries are always a little.. tougher..

    It wasn’t until he was gone, that I appeared.. and I still read his blog. I’ve heard so much about his fried chicken that I’m trying it this weekend. Maybe I should try it and bring it to a meet up.. wait.. no.. I should leave that to someone who can actually cook. =)

    Big hugs.

    AF
