What He Says...What I actually Hear. Topic: Meeting the kids.

Recently I met a guy that I've been spending a lot of time with. I don't know if he cares if I say his name on here or not so I'll refer to him with a nickname. Lets call him....Really Tall Guy.

So RTG has some baggage. Divorced with 4 kids. Meh, he's pretty awesome so we are disregarding that.

One of these children is, as of recently, living with him.


In a text conversation (I'll be editing his grammar and spelling mistakes in these quotes) he types:

"You do understand it will be a while before you meet the kids."




All I heard was, "We'll be together long enough and you'll be important enough to meet my kids."

New sub-blog: if that's what you would call it.

So I'm funny most of the time. I'll be sharing posts going forward taken straight out of my amazingly awesome life.

The posts will be titled: What He Says...What I Actually Hear.

This will be from exact things that are said to me. My cousin thinks it will be funny because I tend to say that I lot when telling her stories of my love-life.

So yea. Stayed tuned.

Since I'm back into blog-mode, I'm going to say a little about something I've been obsessing over for about the last 36 hours.



The Composure's new album: String Attached.

I met these guys (Cory and Paul front and center) back at the beginning of 2008. They were recording in Chicago and crashing at my best friend's place while they were in town. We had a tradition of going out on Tuesday nights and they joined us for the night. 10 Rootbeer Slammers later, Cory and I became friends.

Here we are almost 3 years later, friendship still strong, and they've just released their album. I feel like a crazed soccer mom with the way I've been bragging about this album. It's awesome. I won't just say that I love any friend's albums. Although, I may have immense respect for what they've created, I'm not always a fan of the tunes. However, these amazing dudes from Pittsburgh have created a gem.

I urge you to check out this powerful record with all of Paul's killer vocals. It's available on iTunes:

"Strings Attached" on iTunes

It's also probably available at both:

Modern Short Stories and
The Composure


You could also wait until they come back to town and play at Reggie's in February.


My favorite tracks include: On the Run; Stop Now, Start Again; and Oh, Haley.

Watch the video for "Stop Now, Start Again" on YouTube.

Eating out. (Not what you perverts are thinking.)

From a server's point of view...

I don't understand how a person on their cell phone could bother you from another table. The only person who should be annoyed by this act is the person dining with the cell phone talker. Someone talking loudly to the person in front off them will be just as obnoxious. If you can't handle it. Order in.

Also, if you're on your phone and the rest of your table is ready to order, ask whoever it is that you are talking to to hold while you order. It's wasting the time I could be helping other tables to wait for your conversation to end.

Don't order a round of water for the other six people at the table. They can order it if they want it. I know damn well you will be the only one drinking it. I now have to bring 14 drinks to your table for no reason.

The wings at my restaurant don't come with side dipping sauces. There is am extra charge for them. It sucks and I don't agree with it, but it says so right where it lists the different wings. Pay attention when I'm asking if you would like bleu cheese or ranch on the side because it's time consuming for you to ask for it after the wings are in front of you. I'm asking for a reason.

Temper tantrums are no big deal. I get that kids act up. But, if your daughter is sitting next to you shaking all of the salt out into a pile on the table. Take it away from her. Tantrum or not. Have some respect for the bus boy that has to clean up after the child you can't say no to.

Please walk your dog in a bathrobe. I'd appreciate it.

These have been building up:

1. I have an issue with straight guys who cross their legs like chicks. Seriously, it's not uncomfortable for you? Who taught you idiots how to sit?

2. Why would you walk your dog down the street in your bathrobe with no pants under it? Honestly....you live in a condo, not a house with a fenced in yard. Have some consideration for your neighbors.

3. I hate when people are thankful that it's Saturday because Sunday means a fresh start. It's not a fresh start. Nothing changes except the date on the calendar. The same problems exisit that existed the whole week before. You're retarded.

That's all.
