Sanity Check
Ever wonder what goes through the minds of your friends?I mean really, I finally decide to cut loose from this girl who was treating me very poorly (not returning calls when she said she would, agreeing to dates then 3 out of 5 times canceling at the last minute leaving me to scramble to find someone to give her ticket to, etc.) and all my friends say "its about time she just wasn't right for you." What the heck is up with that? These are the same people that a couple of weeks before where saying "she is awsome, man you really ended up with a great lady."
Talk about going with the wind. This makes it hard to know if they are just saying something that goes with the situation, or if they are telling me what they really think. I much prefer them to be honest all the time. Sure it means sometimes hitting me in the stomach when I am already partially down. But, I think it is far better then leaving me wondering if they are being honest with me.
Perhaps I am just too honest. I generally tell it like it is, keep my word as best as I can and follow through. I am beginning to wonder if I am alone in this regard.
Enough said... Time to get back to work now.
Wine, dance, laughter
This weekend turned out completely backwards.
Question:
What happens when you throw a party and no one shows up?Answer:
You have a completely different party!I had 30 friends swear they were coming to the free karaoke party I was roped into helping with Friday night. They even went so far as to tell me a day or so before hand how much they were looking forward to going AND that they had a couple friends that were coming too. So I figured at least 10 would show up. ;^)
The other people putting on the party also called around and we had confirmed about 60 people. We made sure there was enough food for about 40 figuring we could order pizzas if there wasn't enough.
Grand total of 16 people came... Which even with all the free booze was not enough to really do karaoke... So I reprogrammed the machine tossed in a bunch of 80s music, dragged out the poker table and we played poker to loud 80s music with TONS of booze, snacks, and deserts. Everyone had a hell of a good time. Lots of people were sent home with enough left overs to eat for a week.
After the poker game broke up at about 10 PM three of us headed out to the pool hall and played pool till 2 AM.
Friday night - not what I expected but fun none-the-less
Saturday: Huge Halloween celebration (last year had about 300 people there). Fabulous DJ, silent auction, more food, and more booze. Lots of witches (its put on by a pagan group). Something must be in the air... Only 40 people showed up to that one. But, we danced till we dropped. I managed to get a couple of cool CDs and a fabulous T-Shirt (says "Its Your God, There Your Rules, So You Can Go To Hell.").
Tonight... well was planning on going to Fright Fest with a date. But, if it is still raining the park will not be open. So need to find a plan B. I'm thinking Century Ball Room...
