Madden 99 Until Sunday Afternoon (Part 2) – Mad Chaos: March 22, 1999

Sad News About Westie

Before Lyssa left she told me some news about a guy called Westie that I know, or should I say knew. Being a good bloke that lived around this area his named justified what kind of person he was and what I wasn’t too aware of was that he was on heroin and apart from his shooting up he caught Aids from sharing needles.

He’s been suffering with this for a while now but just about a week ago he committed suicide. Lyssa found this out from a friend that went to visit him and was told that news but it comes as a bit of a shock to me because he was such a good person, good spirit and good personality. Gentle as he was I don’t think he deserved to die despite the life he was given.

Sleeping Through the Gym

Calling herself a taxi Lyssa left my house at 1:00 p.m. and giving her a kiss goodbye I watched her jump in the taxi and then it was the rest of the day to myself. Having something to eat I knew that I had to get to the Gym later in the day but my tired state of not getting a good sleep was slowly catching up to me. Therefore, when the time arrived to 2:00 p.m. I was supposed to gear up for the Gym but I decided to rest instead. Hoping that I would wake up and still have time to head to the Gym I was sadly mistaken.

Instead, I slept until 6:00 p.m. and with that woke up to plan the rest of the night. In a nutshell, Ralf didn’t call me, Keith was working and Shawn had nothing to do and wanted to come over with the Play Station.

Gathering that Ralf had headed up to see his brother for the night (That’s why he didn’t call me) and there wasn’t going to be any other plans of heading to a nightclub I called up Shawn to see if he still wanted to come over. There was no problem with Shawn coming over so that we talked about and he was over my house around 8:30 p.m.

Madden 99 All Night

The night was young and for another week there were no plans from our normal group to head out to a nightclub, it was pissing me off. Despite our lack of commitment or interest to go out Shawn and I had ourselves a fair night playing games on the Play Station. It began from 9:00 p.m. that Saturday night and it carried on right until 3:30 p.m. on Sunday afternoon.

By this time the both of us were hugely drained and in need of sleep we were both drifting off as the other played their hand at Madden 99. Within our night Keith headed over to my house just before midnight and with him we played Golf, Warne Cricket and basketball on the Play Station. The night was so drawn out and long that I can’t remember too much but I do remember me once again putting shit on Keith constantly.

Gossip About Keith and Money

Keith took out $600 out of the Eftpos machine today and considering how he’s lost his other jobs through deceit I knew he was on that track. How greedy he is though, he makes that much a week and yet he’s stealing from work and spending it to buy Tamsen a bracelet or some other golden article.

With all the money that Keith has readily in the bank you would expect him not to be so greedy but as the proverb goes, the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. However, for Keith’s case I must say that the greedy only have greed within them and once they own money they will not spend it but unto others they will pledge.

Keith left my house around 2:00 a.m. as he was headed to another Football game on Sunday. Shawn was also supposed to head off to it but because he was at my house for such a long time there was no need to go. Beginning a season on Madden 99 with both Shawn and I it was going well at the start of the night but when Keith came over he accidentally bumped the power chord with his fat ass and reset the Play Station.

Despite that hitch Shawn and I started again as it wasn’t too far into our season and we got through seven games before exhaustion set in. Giving his mum a call around 3:30 p.m. we started packing up the Play Station in anticipation. “You can borrow the Play Station if you want” he said to me but I wasn’t in need of playing games, I needed sleep.

Calls in the Night

When Shawn left my house after almost 24 hours on the Play Station I decided to give Lyssa a call. Wanting to keep myself awake for as long as possible I chatted with her as she was home alone. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that Lyssa called me twice last night while Shawn and Keith were over my house. The first time that Lyssa called was at midnight and asking if I had called her I got annoyed and calmly tried to tell her that I didn’t.

It appears that Lyssa got a private number on her call back service so she thought she would call me. Lyssa then decided to give me a call back more than an hour later and as she knew that I had friends over this conversation didn’t last more than a few words. Looking fairly obvious in front of Shawn and Keith who obviously had their own thoughts Keith thought to tell me that he gathered Lyssa wanted me back but that’s as far into it as we got.

Why Lyssa Rang Twice

Asking Lyssa why she had called me twice the night before she informed me that she didn’t want to stay home and wanted to talk with me on the phone. In reality, Lyssa wanted to come over for a second night because she’s been having these arguments with her mum lately. Her brother has moved out of the house as of yesterday and he’s now living with his fiancée Carleigh. Therefore, it’s now only Lyssa and her mum living at home together and that’s why she was home alone when I called her on Sunday.

Watching a movie all by herself Lyssa decided to keep herself company and was drifting off watching her movie as she sounded tired when answering the phone. Her mum was out somewhere for the day and she had no one else to keep her company.

Lyssa wanted to come over last night and stay over my house again and I gather part of that reason was because she was starting to feel attached again. Because I had invited Lyssa over and we had an alright time she wanted to kill the moment and go for it again. However, I don’t want to be Lyssa’s fall back guy and the person she always turns to as the first and last resort. Our conversation lasted for twenty minutes as I started to close my eyes and drift off so I just let Lyssa go and got myself some much needed sleep.

A Thousand Skips

Sunday night I woke up at 10:00 p.m. I had myself something to eat and watched some television. As time passed on in my night I decided to have a shower but before I did I worked up a sweat by doing 1000 reps on the skipping rope. This time around I had sweated much more than usual and I found this as a good sign to keep myself fit.

That’s pretty much all of my night and the events from Friday due to now and I probably have missed out on a couple of better points but I’m not into it right now. Maybe tomorrow when I get back from the Gym I will have my poetical and literal groove back but we’ll have to wait and see. The time right now is 3:30 a.m. and I feel that if I get myself some sleep soon I will be able to wake up early. There is nothing to do at this time of morning apart from watching television so I think I will have to feign fatigue and get some earlier sleep.

Tomorrow when I wake up I’m going to try and get my last payment from the link to be upped to its normal rate. In doing so I will once again have to pause the payments I have to make on my link loan I took out ages ago. It should be a fair day of events when I wake up but we shall see.
