Even in spoken English or plain prose, we would drop pronouns - particularly I - in some situations. Here, "had me a blast" is doing this to "I had me a blast". "I had me" in turn is an informal variant on "I had" found in some dialects, that adds emphasis. So, "I had a blast". |

The sentence means I had me a blast. The subject I is understood. While the reflexive me is not standard usage, the slang inclusion is used for emphasis. |
