Walk on the wild side

i had a really cool weekend.. five guys, another woman and I had big plans... on friday afternoon we packed our tents and bags and drove off to an outdoor volleyball tournament. it took us about 4 hours to get there because of the traffic, which was twice as long as we thought. the games were on saturday and sunday. there were over 80 teams who were playing, and in the end we came in 15th, which was amazing. we drank at friday night and we drank more at saturday night and danced on the tables till 3.30. at one point i found myself with a friend on the stage of the band that was playing there, bawling into the microphone (unfortunately it exists a video evidence of that embarrassing moment). alcohol is my excuse! i just had fun with camping and all the people and playing volleyball. what more could you want?
last night at v. practice i had to bear with my ex, who showed up too. again and still an asshole deluxe to me and treating me as if i had never been in his life. i'm glad that i know now that there are other people who are really ok and that i have a friend who's visiting me tomorrow and there's another old friend i'm gonna meet this week... i just remembered what tom hanks says in the movie 'cast away', when he's back home in memphis - without the woman he loves and feeling like a stranger:
"... and i know what i have to do now. i gotta keep breathing.. because tomorrow the sun will rise.. and who knows what the tide could bring?"
