Tonight was much more mild in comparison to last night. Last night my girl and I drank the night away while at Herman’s Hideaway and rough housed all the through the bands’ sets. It usually ends with her giving me a swift kick to the growing and I go to sleep with and ice pack…we’re so Sid and Nancy. I went to the piece o s bar that occupies more than its share of relevant space on the corner of Broadway and Iowa. The Boondocks Saints and Genial played. In my super inebriated state I was really getting into Genial's music. After reviewing the contents of the album I am quick to dismiss those guys as an Ataris rip off band and conclude my bad taste of music was a symptom of the firewater. The entire events played out more like a high school reunion. I saw a bunch of people I went to Hinkley with and got drunk…only now legally. My girlfriend was really drunk, drunk to the point of throwing up blood. Which is always a good thing. Not, it freaked me the F*** out and I was upset she brought herself to that limit. Rum makes people grumpy. Thank god my gout hasn’t acted up.
Tonight I actually sat and watched a Bronco playoff game that they won. My friend David has talked about his friend Andrew since I was 17 (8 years ago.) Finally, there was proof of the legend. As I hung out at his house for the game. I can’t really say much about tonight events except Andrew and his family was extremely kind but I didn’t really feel a click. I tried to get my pronoun interjections into the conversations but hey whatever. At 25 I feel the most anti-social as I’ve ever felt in my life. It could be my limited dabbles into the mood stimulator drugs (mainly alcohol.) Perhaps its just where I am in life, I’m trying to go to school and focus on music. Is it that I’m faltering in my people skills because of prolonged exposure to the cube??? It’s frigid in there. I think another major drawback in connecting with people is my non-TV consumption because well…I don’t have a TV. For the most part I always blame myself for my lack of social skills. It’s really no ones fault. I’m not around people who share the same passions I do. They have this little tab in MySpace that says, “Who would you like to meet?” I want to meet interesting people. To take that a step further interesting people are interested people. I can only talk about Seinfeld episodes I haven’t seen for so long (a them topic.) People can only talk about music they haven’t listened too for so long (a me topic.) but if everyone gave 2 shits of a hoot to make an effort to explore such concepts than maybe life would truly be lead into the moment. I always think things can be better/improved and I realize this is silly and really it’s a curse. One funny thing that happened tonight was Andrew made fun on my Mac computer by saying, “first you have to press the clover button and blank” etc. Yes, Macs do have goofy function keys. They do. One cool thing was he burned me a copy of Tom Green’s new rap cd that Mr. Green recently released…lol I guess it’s real hip hop. Full-blown real rap beats and all.
I guess the usual round of awkward moments did rear their ugly face this evening. My friend David is getting (in the word of a great psyc teacher) persnickety. He was trying to set up my computer on Andrew’s wireless Internet connection. He said he knew how to set up wireless networks on Macs. Then I was asking him if we needed to install drivers on this computer to have it work. He said, “he didn’t know.” I said, “I thought you knew how to set up wireless networks on Macs.” Then he said, “I never said that.”????? He started raising his tone with me so I got pissed but the moment atrophied and was forgotten. But then we were downstairs and David and I were alone with Andrew’s daughter Emma. She is this adorable 5-year-old. She was telling David this story about how mash potatoes were on her feet. David curtly responded, “Then don’t drop your mash potatoes on the floor!” I was like ok. Earlier, she was next to me on the computer and I was showing her Sudoku puzzles on my Mac. She was leaning forward to look at the screen and David told her to, “Get out of the way.” He didn’t say it too abrasive but those words in general are fairly rude. It was really awkward to me. I have never ever seen that handling kids side of David before. I know if it was my kid and I was having a bad day and they were being hyperactive or whatever I might be curt with my kid…that’s just a normal everyday family situation. I just can’t image being like that toward other people’s family. Especially since she wasn’t being bad or annoying at those times. Oh well it was different side of my friend. I’m sure I’m just being hypersensitive and it’s really nothing to be judgmental about. I’m probably too big of a softie when it comes to kids. I’m sure I’ll be a horrible parent. If I had kids and they looked up at me with those little eyes wanting something, I wouldn’t have it in me to say no. I wouldn’t probably learn that trait for many years and by that time it will be too late and my kids will be like those crazing zoo monkey kids on Dr. Phil. I guess that’s for a time far from now. David just wasn’t acting the way I would toward the cherished young ones but hey whatever. It’s his best friend’s daughter he’s probably like an uncle and that’s why I didn’t say anything.
Being around a kid tonight was one of the best parts but those best parts come in two-fold. Tonight’s stories went into the depths of horrible children atrocities of kids being kidnapped or dying in a babysitter’s house after it caught on fire. After hearing one of the tales I joked, “see right here what we are doing now (telling child horror stories) is my birth control.” But then I was upstairs ready to leave the house and it was Emma’s bedtime and she came over and gave my leg a hug and said goodnight (anti-birth control)…I basically melted and realized. One day I’m gonna have one of these things. It was so damn cute.
My fried David has his flaws as do I but at the end of the day I’m glad to know I have managed to keep such a cool person around in my life. God why am I writing such sentimental blog crap? Did I accidentally take one of my girlfriend’s birth control pills? My boobs are tender…lol…NOT!
