I had a busy but fun weekend this past weekend, and of course tapped into the excitement of my favorite holiday - HALLOWEEN!! Just a few weeks away! Friday night was the kick-off by going to Universals Studio's Halloween Horror Nights, and I have to admit while it wasn't as "scary" as I thought it was going to be, it was a lot of fun. Definitely glad I only paid $35 to get in though, it's not worth more then that in my opinion. But ...on to things this weekend and morning of a Monday that really caught my attention, made me a little upset, and all in all just made me go "hmmmmm."
1) Bringing children into a bar.
Now I know that in LA there are a lot of bars that are technically "restaurants" like Cabo Cantina for example, or really any place that has the word "Cantina" at the end now that I think about it. But I seriously had a HUGE fucking problem with being at a bar for happy hour with my friends, enjoying another afternoon Sunday Funday and suddenly seeing a young mom bring her 6month old baby (or younger), in a handheld carriage to the bar. She came upstairs to meet her semi drunk and cigarette friendly group of friends, and sat her baby down smack in the middle of the table and continued to socialize and have a good time. I don't even think she was a young mom who didn't know better. She looked to be in her early 30's. About an hour later, she took off (thank god!), because even the waitress came up to me and said "are you okay" and I replied "yeah i'm fine, just heated that the lady over there had the nerve to bring her baby into a place like this and a little more upset that you guys allow it." wtf! Cabo Cantina is a drunken fun bar in my opinion, not a place to bring kids. Earlier in the day another young girl was forced to sit down and eat with her parents as they chugged beer at watched Football. Around 7pm that night a single dad in his mid 30's walked in with two young daughters probably around 5 and 7 years old. The little girls looked lost and confused as Daddy tried to grab a margarita and catch the remainder of the game.
BUT, to top it all off, around 8pm that night as we were closing up our happy hour tab and clearly everyone at the bar was loud, drunk, and smoking something or another; a Dad...in his late 30's I would guess, came upstairs with his 2 year old daughter to meet a lady friend of his. They sat there three feet in front of me with cigarette smoke everywhere and proceeded to mingle. I couldn't help but think that little girl should be at home in bed! Where is her Mother? I bet her Mom would have flipped had she known Daddy brought her to a bar on his weekend with her. Are people crazy?? What prompts any type of parent to bring their kids any age from infant - 12years old to a bar? Talk about sobering up, the guy is lucky I didn't go up and say anything to him for his horrible parenting skills.
2). Johnny Depp is going to be getting paid 65 million for his role in the new Pirates of the Carribean movie.
I heard it on KIIS Fm this morning and almost flipped. It tops the highest paying acting role of Tom Hanks in the Da Vinci Code, where he got 60 million. BUT, with the economy the way that it is these days, middle class families and even myself! Having to work more than one or two jobs to make ends meet, starving kids in the world etc...you know where i'm going...I have a HUGE problem with film makers paying already rich ass actors this much money when our nation is in a state of growing financial hardship. I seriously don't understand it. And I also don't understand how successful rich people can continue to negotiate and accept this much money knowing the current problems we face.
3) Re-doing the street in front of my office on Colorado Ave and also on Santa Monica Blvd in Beverly Hills, so that they can look "prettier."
Again this is a case of spending my freaking tax dollars and making the streets look prettier by landscaping them with new flowers, rocks, gardens etc. Not only is the construction work taking months to complete and making my commute miserable, I can't help to look at these areas EVERYDAY and think to myself that they already look fine and dandy. Yet someone the Mayor - whoever, has decided to spend dollars on making these two areas look better, with new landscape. WTF? Have you been to Compton or the downtown areas that really could use a little bit of "cleaning up?" and yet Beverly Hills and Santa Monica are getting a make-over? Not cool.
4). Men...again.
Okay Okay...i'll make a long story short and also blunt. A week ago I was out with some friends and caught eyes with this cute, tall guy, (okay maybe I had a little bit of drunk goggles syndrome), but we totally hit it off and ended up wondering off on a walk down Sunset, and having some fun. Good convo, I felt instantly comfortable with him, which is HUGE! to me. I think chemistry is all about that instant comfort zone. Anyways, so we leave the bar at 2 am and he pays for a cab to take me to my friends across town to get some Mexican food. We meet my friends and as my buzz wore off, my friends and I went one way and he went the other. I woke up the next morning bummed I didn't give him my number, because I thought to myself that I actually met a cool, sexy, fun, chill, intelligent guy who claimed to have a lot of the qualities I look for. So I was bummed I was never going to hear from him again. Well I guess I had a little too much to drink because this past Friday night as I walk in my door after my night at Universal I get this random text from a 732 area code, and it was him. I guess I did give him mu number! I have to admit I was kind of excited to hear from him, but totally thought it was lame he had my number this whole time and didn't call me! So I woke up the next morning and decided to text him back. Only because I was interested in him from the first time we met. (Note to anyone reading this - I hate when guys start things off with texts, but the reality is that's just how things are these days. Even though I still search for the few who are far and beyond).
I texted him the next morning saying "Hi how are you, I was out late last night blah blah." Now in my head, I thought that would give him the opportunity to write me back something nice instead of a 1am drunk text. But he didn't hit me back the whole day and at 2am that Saturday night/Sunday morning hit me back again. Okay - WTF. I'm not naive to your 2am texts, but if that's going to be the case - that shit is going to be on my terms. So again I was let down, this guy who I thought was classier than what he obviously is, hit me with the 2am texts. Umm hello, I don't even know you, but thought you were cool as shit, and p.s. if I want some you're not going to be the first person I call!
So yesterday around 2pm I decided to mess with him, after again waking up to his drunk text. I wrote him and said " Why don't you give me a call instead of those 130am texts ;)" And he writes back "Why don't you keep your ideas to yourself, unless you want to get spa_nked;)" OMG!! Now if i was into a guy or dating him, yeah I wouldn't have minded that flirty text message at all. But here is a guy who I was sitting having intelligent convos with and bonding etc with, and instead of taking the opportunity to be a classy guy and call me and ask me out he proceeds with the flirty texts that do nothing but turn me off!
Men: Let me tell you something. Unless a girl likes you, or you are super hot, or really good in bed and we know it, seriously - don't start things off with booty calls texts. We will laugh at it and you will look like an idiot and one day realize the game...you don't have.
So there, I explained another reason of why men can suck. I like to have fun don't get me wrong, but i'm also looking for Love... I guess in all the wrong places. So when potential future ex husbands, turn out like this guy - it just proves to me that there really are a lot of lame ass men in the world. Story of my life lately.
Umm...so that is all for now. Ohh wait! Last but not least.
5) Palin.
And really, that's all I need to say. What a fucking idiot. I could be VP better then her...no seriously.
