today is a new day....but what a fuckin night it was last night. I went to Scout bar here in Houston, which is a venue for live bands and last night was crazy. I ended up drinking pretty much the whole day..it all started at Chili's with two kettle one Bloody Mary's and a big azz burger. Then my friend Casey and I drove out to this stupid promotional giveaway where he thought he was going to win a new car..I tried to tell him it was a scam but..he insisted, so I went with him to calm him after the bad news was delivered..
Let me paint the picture for you....ready? Imagine walking into a welcome center for this horrible looking resort that may have well inspired the movie Friday the 13th. I forget the name, but it was cheesy..you sit in a waiting room filled with, excuse me..mostly black and Hispanic families, the smell of fresh popcorn and coffee filling the air, the floor littered with crumbs from an entire day of this scam centers sales pitch to get you to buy vacation property all over the country. Then this weaselly guy in a suit walks up and asks your name and takes you into another room, filled with MORE people..sits you down and asks you a bunch of random shit like, where do you vacation and how much you spend...leading up to his big sales pitch, which was delivered so well, that he may have practiced this form of bullshit in a previous life. I must say, it was extensive and well delivered to two totally tattooed white boys in a room full of little tables and chairs, the myriad of faces in suits trying so desperately to sell this stuff that they check other peoples smiles to see if they are effective enough in their own presentation.
Anyway, then the guy takes us on a tour of camp Whatever the fuck...and shows us what we could potentially be investing in..it was a nightmare and that buzz I had from the chili's Bloody Marys was waaay gone....We get back to the same cramped little room where he then pitches some more...ineffective, he brings over his manager and HE tries to give us a better deal...then..I had to step in cause my friend Casey was three seconds away from punching this dude right in the face..I told him"look man, thanks but no thanks, we are not buying today" he tries AGAIN!..I said "brother, go get my man here his free cruise so we can go home and you can sell this shit to someone else". he looks at me, laughs weirdly and awkwardly, then walks off..and brings back a fuckin linebacker in a monkey suit..I mean this guy was Vin diesel on steroids...and HE tries..still I look at him and say again.."there is no point in wasting anymore of your time" please....he actually listens and walks us to a room where my friend gets his free cruise and a trip to Aruba..which he has to pay the airfare for..all in all, not a horrible ending, but what a nightmare of a day..He ranted about his life and mistakes he has made for an entire hour on the way home and my friend was physically drained by the time we got back to his place and had a few beers to wash away some of the mental torture we endured....
9:03 pm..we head to Scout bar..no one there yet as the doors just opened....we get a pitcher and talk as we slowly see people push their way through the doors and into the venue, by 12:00 the place is jamming and full.....I lose my friend, get into a fight on the dance floor, and am left at the bar about 20 miles from home with no way to get there...it's now 1:15am....I ask people for a ride and one guy, not even from this country gives me a lift. He was the coolest terrorist I ever had the pleasure to ride with..j/k.
I got home, turned on a movie apparently and crashed so hard when I woke up I couldn't see clearly for a few minutes....
now..I'm a t work..hungover, a little bit in pain, and wishing my friend is ok and not sitting in jail or some other bullshit...that's' my blog for today. stay tuned.
