Many things have come and gone lately, all while being pretty busy at work and also the weekends have been pretty full as well. But none, I repeat, none can beat last week's event which I will forever remember. No amount of monkeys with typewriters could ever come up with a script like this ever (Okay, I lied. But it still takes a very long time).
Surfing and horse riding during the day was pretty good but nothing could ever prepare us for what was to come when the sun goes down. I have to say that I now swear by the effectiveness of a wetsuit in very cold temperature waters. I was even thinking of wearing one when winter comes round because as you know, I hate the cold.
The fun began when we went for dinner after horse riding. The groom was then notified that things are starting to get very interesting and so revealed that he will be wearing a Superman costume for the rest of the night, inspired by a photo that was taken together with his fiance. The task for the night was to approach random women on the street, gathering intel and try to land a kiss from them. Seems pretty normal for a buck's night to me, all the while the groom publicly professes that he hated us, defriending us and what not's. But you can tell that he was secretly having a lot of fun too. The aim was to gather 100 points for this to be over. After quite awhile, he needed one more random woman on the street to complete the task.
Crossing the road into Flinders Street station in search of the last woman, this one particular woman stood out like a sore thumb. It was no surprise because that woman was dressed like this...
I kid you not. The very last person he needed happened to be Wonder Woman. I shouted to him "GO!! NAO!!!1!" while pointing furiously towards her. He went and she played along! The rest of us guys were giggling like little schoolgirls and whispering in a very dude manner " THIS IS TOO AWESOME!". Many photos later, and he was done with the task. Because this ended on such an epic character and earning the respect from the rest of us guys, we sang the Superman theme song at every intersection on the way back to the car.
Just when we think the day was over, drama! A noise was heard by Superman and immediately darted off towards a gathering of people. A man was hit by a car that ran a red light and was down and in dire need of assistance.
Oh, I forgot to tell you that Superman was also an emergency department doctor. So darting off towards the scene, his cape fluttered behind him. You can see where this is going. He had a hard time convincing the people there that he was really an emergency department doctor but managed to break through. Handled the victim until the ambulance arrived but the victim was going to make it thanks to the swift action of Superman. Of course the rest of us guys were busy taking photos of the event, again giggling like schoolgirls and saying to each other "What are the chances that all of this were to happen?" Once the victim was carried off in the ambulance and the police were done taking his details, he came back to us and we were just in shock that this happened. So we sang the Superman theme song even louder on the way back to the car.
Secretly we came to the conclusion that the public must know about this eventful bucks night for it is too awesome to keep it to ourselves. So we contacted newspaper agencies around telling them this story with the photos we took. And guess what? Page 9 of the Herald Sun, last Thursday ran the story. My brain is about to explode from all of this. And apparently last I heard was that there might even be a short segment on Channel 7's morning program Sunrise. Mind = blown.
Considering that this was my first bucks, the bar has been set pretty damn high. Heck, even if I were to get married, my buck's wouldn't even be in the same galaxy on the scale of awesomeness as this epic night. Dayum.
And so this brave young man is going to get married later today which I think is going to be one epic wedding as well. One final mind blowing thought to leave you, the person he is marrying runs an online magazine. Like a reporter. Get it?

It's been awhile since I had a very long talk with a friend on relationships. It has been interesting but it also brought up a lot of things that I've learned in the past. Considering the number of people getting together, getting engaged ( ! ) and married are spiking lately, it is no surprise that I ponder about these things and how they will affect me and my friends who are attached. So far I have to say that I act like an ass to most people, which of course is not good. But some seems to impart a little more thinking and less jackassery on me. One particular instance was how strikingly similiar another friend's situation was to mine 3 years back. I'm sure this has some implications attached to it, I'm just not sure what is the appropriate choice of action I should take.
And of course I ponder about myself too.

Lately I've been feeling more cluckish than usual. But I'd probably fail in that too. Not that I'll get there anyway.
