So Much Win

Banana

Phelps is a prick

Show that Cat who's boss!

It's like a person in an elephant suit

Wow. Spider FTW!

I'm usually a fan of this, but I feel bad for this girl.

Watch this... Then This.

I feel like with Chimpanzee's, the babies should be called Chimps, and the adults should be called Champs.

Bourdain VS Deen

http://omg.yahoo.com/blogs/thefamous/fight-fight-paula-deen-tells-anthony-bourdain-to-get-a-life/1912

Yeah, ok, Bourdain was harsh... but it's Bourdain being Bourdain. He has strong opinions and has an abrasive character. However, he's a very intelligent man, and his statements about Paula Deen were absolutely correct. Paula Deen should be the spokesperson for the ThisIsWhyI'mFat. (Which doesn't seem to exist anymore... weird)

I can't win!

Text Conversation I Just Had:

Me: Your friend Helen is cute. Sorry she thought we weren't cool enough. :P Glad we got to hang out tonight! :)
Me: And I've always thought you were cute
Friend: She probably would have been if you hadn't acted interested in both of us, haha
Me: :/ I "acted" interested in you because you were the only person I knew in the group and are my friend. Fail. Haha.
Friend: No, I meant in the tx message. She saw it and it bothered her you mentioned me. We were drunk though so i don't know.
Me: Well see now I didn't know you showed it to her. :P Ha! I try to be courteous to all parties involved. I can't win! :D
Friend: Haha, you are a great guy. I am sure will find the right one:)
Me: Thanks. :)


I'm not complaining.
I think this is funny. :D

Realization

while my mind was wandering

8 years ago I had a dream where I was in England in a coffee shop...

I met this red haired woman

we really hit it off

like, really hit it off!

the evening came to an end, and we had to leave the coffee shop

I remember talking to her

saying stuff about seeing her again

that I had too

she seemed really sad and concerned

saying that she couldn't

she looked me in the eyes with a downtrodden face

I think I was holding her arm, trying not to get her to leave

she said that she couldnt see me again

and when she told me that

suddenly I knew why

she was a God

an old, forgotten one

and old Scottish deity of lore and legend

from back before there was a "Scotland" as we know it

why am I telling you this story?

my mind was wandering about narrative

and wanting to write one about Viking Suicide

involving back alley ways and cemetery's in England

which seemed dream like and silly

so then what if I write a dream narrative?

then the connection snapped in my head

between this Scottish god of my dream and Viking

That dream all those years ago got me into reading Neil Gaiman. American Gods, to be precise. A book about forgotten gods.

We're gonna get married. She just doesn't know it yet. :P ;)

Humbling Confession

I'm just going to Copy and Paste what I said to a friend about something that went down tonight...

-a month and a half ago, I was at a bar, and I facebooked a coment about a particular female bartender

-something along the lines of "I see you female bartender. I know what you're doing. I'm not tipping you extra."

-a friend called me out on it, and I promised to apologize for it

-tonight I finally had the opportunity to do so

-she didnt know who I was

-or when

-or even what I looked like

-but what I said was totally shitty, and I felt bad for it

-once I proclaimed that the statement was mine, she was clearly offended

-because she had heard that it had happened

-she (and her friend) preceded to tear into me

-I told them both that I deserved it

-that it was shitty of me

-I shouldn't have said it

-I told her that she didnt have to accept my apology, but that I had to apologize for it

-finally, after what felt like an eternity, she accepted my apology

-earlier she had said that I should buy her a drink

-sadly I had to tell her I was out of cash, but I would happily put a drink on credit

-I bought her a drink and she accepted

-she introduced herself to me

-I'm not saying I gained a friend

-but I sacked up and did what was right

-I kept my cool

-but when it was all over, I was super cotton mouthed

-her friend asked "why? is it because you're high right now?"

-"not at all! it's because I just exposed my heart to you two, and you set it on fire"

-I even said, "this is just where I am in my life right now" and the friend really got in my face about it
-Saying stuff like, "Why!? Are you always super shitty to woman and now you're apologizing for it?"
-I couldn't explain myself because it wasn't her fight to meddle in, but it's just how I've been feeling in 2011.
-Super honest and open. A new Spider.
-I did follow up to the subject with, "No. I've just been really super jaded when it comes to women, and I said something that you didn't deserve. I don't know anything about you. It wasn't fair of me to say something like that."

So yeah... totally humbled and I'm a little high strung right now.


EDIT:

After the fact...

pondering

I wonder what she thinks of me

now

now that she has a face to go with the comment

but I really can't burden myself with that

what's done is done
She has been reignited to the inflammation now
I'm not worried about ever showing my face at that place again
all of the other staff love me
Again... What's done is done...

EDIT:
Remembered she served me a beer semi recently. Both the beer and her service were cold.
