Place was the hardest thing to come up with.  When assigned the project, I knew I wanted to write about my friends.  My friends are like my family.  I treat them like my brothers and sisters.  I love them.  So for place I picked anywhere we might end up while driving around.  Place in this case is my friend Jen's basement.  All our planning happens there.  We also drink down there and sometimes through wings into the mix from Antonios in Bridgeton.  We always split the cost and we share with Jen's dad (our dad) and her step mom.  Jen's dad has gotten used to what seems like the used car lot in his driveway from all his "kids" just stopping by.  Recently Jen's brothers Nicky, and Daniel bought a trampoline.  Jen's dad told his wife, "be careful backing up so you don't hit the trampoline."  He really doesn't care that we are always there.  So these are my crazy friends and this is our story.  Jen, Jeni, Nicky, Jeff, Matt, Dan, Emily, and myself.

Song List

Wings and beer night always starts off with some great music.  Our ipods always have a whole bunch of different genres on it.  Here is our list!  ACDC, Nickelback, LIVE, Garth Brooks, Three Days Grace, Breaking Benjamin, The Killers, Fall Out Boy, and New Found Glory are just some of the artists we listen to. 


Yeah I know.  A lot of different songs.  They usually vary from time-to-time as we get together.  Sometimes we through some Metallica on or Cee Lo Green's very offensive, yet hillarious song called F*** You.  Oops...Don't know if that is appropiriate to put on here...hmm...I'll take my chances.  Anyway the music varies depending on what kind of day we are having.  I usually have a shitty day at work so Breaking Benjamin and other such songs get played.  Oh yeah...my job.  I work at the Regal Cinemas in Vineland ( Regal Cumberland Mall 14).  When I first started there,  I was 16.  Needless to say, my manager proceeded to tell me the definition of Regal.  "Treat the guests (that's right guests, not customers) like royalty.  It is very difficult to do that sometimes.  I am a manager now, and have been for 4 years.  It is still difficult, especially since at least once a week, someone walks in drunk and causes a scene.  I try to be nice and treat them well, though...until I call Vineland PD.

Oh you thought we ran movies on a DVD?  Nope!  We still use 35mm film.  Don't get me wrong, our building has 6 digital projectors, which yes no film is needed, but we still have 8 projectors that require the whole building the movie, splicing it together, better not mess up type of deal.  It is annoying when people complain about that they missed something and if we can rewind it...no we cannot...it's film!!!!  The one picture is a picture of our rewards card.  If you have said card you can earn points for free popcorn, soda, and movie tickets.  The one is me, ready for work.  Sometimes we really do have to call the cops, though.  I wasn't joking around.  We banned a couple people from our building because they came after one of my employees, which doesn't go over real well with me.

So yeah my day (usually Fridays and/or Saturdays) are kinda bad.  Friday's are for all the bratty teenagers that finally can go to the movies by themselves.  The girls, usually about 13 or 14 come dressed in short skirts and tank tops with thier "boyfriends."  They are usually giggling and being really annoying.  They are hanging onto their "boyfriends" and saying the "L" word to eachother.  Kids these days are a lot different from when I was that young.   They also ALWAYS try to sneak in to "R" rated movies.  Saturdays are for the adults, sometimes they come in really blitzed, which is annoying because the police have to come and its a big hassel.  It doesn't have to be.  Come in sober and have a good time.

I usually need my night with my friends.  They are my life.  My "brothers" and "sisters" get me through each crappy day at work.  That is when the wings and beer come into play.  That is when jumping on the trampoline and riding go-carts come into play.  That is when my "brothers" do some dumb stuff and usually end up going to the ER.


Those are just some of the many pictures we have taken.  There is a lot of Jen and me because she is my very best friend.  She enjoyed reading this project just as much I enjoyed putting it together.  I can't wait until the next time we get together.  I know for a fact that Dan wants to tattoo my ankle next time I am there, so I might have to be pretty well gone before I let him.  I can't wait to take more pictures of our crazy times together.  As you can see I really do my wings and beer night.  Jen's basement is the best place to be on a random Saturday night.

On a side note, why are wings always served with celery?...
