So this is what victory tastes like...
Woohoo! We won a basketball game yesterday... it was a real offensive struggle, as both teams had problems scoring any points, but we won the game by 12 points. Again, it's not the first time the team has won, but the first time I've won with the team. The first two matches we played at the start of the season were against the better teams in the league (I got hurt my ankle on the second game), and we had lost two or three games since I’ve gotten back to the hardwood… very glad I finally have a win under my belt.
Tuesday night we went out to Antigua, as it was Ladies Night at Monoloco (2 x 1 drink specials for the ladies), so the place was packed! We actually got there relatively early, and then headed upstairs for the night specials, and within and hour, the place looked like the DC metro during rush hour. Met a few people and had some drinks, but then one of my friends wanted to go dance to Casbah, this club / bar in Antigua… So we left Monoloco, walked 8 blocks or so to Casbah, only to find out that it’s closed on Tuesday… WTF? We checked out a few other places to see what the crowd looked like, but it appears that EVERYBODY heads over to Monoloco on Tuesday nights. So we called it a night, it was a good time to head home (being a Tuesday night and all).
Speaking of Casbah, we headed over there on Friday 4th, and had a great time. We had a bottle of rum (pretty much between 3 people, which maybe was a little much) and met some cute Dutch girls… My friends took some pictures of the events, though he hasn’t shared them with me yet (will post when I do have them). Saturday we a friend’s birthday, he organized a nice lunch, with plenty of beer and shucos (Guatemalan style hot dogs). Some of my friends were then heading over to a rave about an hour away from the city, which I was supposed to attend… but I ashamed to admit it, but I chickened out! My friends were heading over there around 12 AM and said they wanted to come back around 6 AM…. so I was gonna get home around 7AM… I was too tired from the work week and a hectic Friday night. My friends still went and had a good time, but I needed my weekend rest… but next time there is a rave on a Friday (not Saturday), I’ll definitely go.
Sports wise, Bosox are doing horrible… they’ve lost the AL East lead and are down 3 games to the Evil Empire. Still about a month and half to go, but with Varitek out, things aren’t looking great. Also, saw that the MLS held its own against European superpowers Chelsea and Real Madrid… too bad Pescadito Ruiz didn’t get a chance to show off his skills.
Un fuerte abrazo,

P.S. Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery, none but ourselves can free our minds.

Completely agree about women buying guys drinks one night a month... I would only ask for Zacapa Centenario or Greg Goose. Though I would be very dissapointed if I had to eventually buy my own drink... hmmm... good thing I've been hitting the gym.
No Kaya for me, gracias...

Okay, just keep dreaming about the "Men's Night" thang because it will never happen. First, it doesn't have the same ring as "Ladies Night" and doesn't hold as much promise for fun. (Unless you go to one of "those" bars like the "Tool Box" or "The Electric Banana.") And no I'm not saying that the fun of Ladies Night includes the dropping of panties (although in some cases perhaps). But the fun of drunk women is much more appealing & SAFE when compared to a bunch of drunk guys - which typically equals fights and the cops being called. (see soccer matches in Europe)
P.S. about time your basketball team won
