The Great Glass Caper

Yes, of course I am referring to the epic tale of Matthew's missing yellow-tinted spectacles. You see, it all started a long time ago, on an acreage far far away..................................

It began as an ordinary weekend, I was back at my parent’s house, to do laundry, and get a home cooked meal. You know, the usual things college students do when they can't afford to do laundry in their apartment building ($3.00 a load is just an outrageous price). I spent the day doing what I usually do when visiting mother and father, making sure that their computer is still running, mowing the lawn, doing any other menial tasks that my father sees fit to add to my already large workload, and if I get time.....attempt to get some of my monstrous homework assignments done before they're due (which is usually the next Monday or Tuesday). However, this weekend was different, what started as an ordinary day turned into something extraordinary, something spectacular. It happened around 4:00, I gave Landon a call to see what was going on in his neck of the woods, and in the end, he and Matt were invited over to the Casa de Reed to congregate, drink, and generally...."chill." And chill we did, Matt (with his new job at the liquor store) brought over 2 cases of Strongbow, we went over to Jack and Ev's (for future notice, these 2 individuals will most likely be mentioned many times over the course of this site, Jack was....for lack of a better word, my mentor, the best friend a guy could hope for....but let's get back to the story shall we?) Now where was I? Oh yes, Jack and Ev's, we went over to say hi, and saw for the first time, Jack's new toy, a 2002 Suzuki 900....I think.....the number might be wrong, but I know it's a Suzuki. To continue on, we went over and saw his new "toy" and were mightily impressed with this beautiful piece of Japanese engineering. After that, we returned to the house to watch movies and drink. After which point, Landon decided that he had to leave, something about other "commitments" the following morning, and alas, Matthew also had plans as well, and so they left (but don't worry, Landon doesn't drink and he was the one who drove Matt over so you have no need to worry). However to Matt's future dismay, he had forgotten his yellow-tinted spectacles. He informed me of this several days later while online, and I told him that the next time I was back at my parent's. Unfortunately, when I returned to search for the missing item, it was nowhere to be found, I thought that perhaps my mother had moved them while cleaning but unfortunately, I couldn't ask her as she was in Saskatchewan visiting her parents. Weeks went by with no luck, but then several days ago, a stroke of luck, finally, a clue!!!!!!! As it turns out, my brother had been out to the homestead several days before I had returned on my epic and noble quest, and had removed the spectacles, thinking that they belonged to one of his friends, not one of mine. All the while they were sitting in my good friend Cody's basement, not 4 blocks away from where I am sitting now.

I am writing this for several reasons: for starters, it's easier to blog and tell potentially thousands of people as well as Matthew that his possession has been recovered than it is to write him a letter detailing my quest, that and I don't know his phone number or address........and secondly, I hope that maybe, just maybe this long winded, drawn out, melodramatic, sad excuse for a story will somehow attract more readers so that I just might be able to get to the real reason I started this site, to spread my truth

But now I must take my leave......adios
