So recently Virginia passed a law that outlaws smoking in restaurants (I guess drinking alcohol is next). I really didn’t have a huge problem with this until I realized what that meant for my peaceful dinner out. No longer can I request the ’smoking section’ knowing full well that it means I won’t have to deal with screaming babies. Now these mothers and fathers who insist on bringing their screaming brat out to eat with them so everyone can share in the horror that is their life can sit in the smoking area, bars, or excluded parts of the restaurant that was once reserved for adults who wished to be with other adults. I know I’m not the only one who thought this way. Even when I didn’t smoke, I still enjoyed sitting here because I knew the chances of a kid being there were slim. Though it did happen occasionally but those parents usually got the stink eye from people until they left or were kicked in the head and dragged outside.
What inspired this rant? Well I decided today that I would frequent West Side Deli. It’s a nice place that had a lovely back area for smoking customers. I moved back there after some yuppies started invading my private space. I thought this is a nice area where I can enjoy my meal in private. No more than 5 minutes after I moved back there, some lady and her mother brought their little bastard child back into my area. I usually don’t have a problem with kids, as long as they’re not screaming their damn head off. Which of course is what this little crap factory started doing. Mom’s solution you ask? Breast feeding!! Yes.. exactly what I wanted to see on my lunch break. Some chick whipping out her tit for the little suckler. Well.. I wouldn’t mind seeing it and maybe if I stared they would have moved :). Instead however I got to hear the little sucking noises the kid was making. Honestly lady, do that crap in your car away from public eyes.
That’s my rant for today.. I know it’s an old story if you know me, but still sometimes a goody. I would inspire you new parents to have some common courtesy and get take out. Or at least keep your breast feeding and crying baby at home. There’s no reason for you to ruin mine or everyone else’s good time by letting us listen to your screaming brat.

Hope you like my picture I attached to this blog :D

Mischievous
Not much has really gone on since my last post. I think with the winter and my cold bed I find that being single seems to suck more and more. Other than that thought, I’ve just been doing a lot of working. Last week was extremely busy which usually means I’m doing well at least in the money department, but that’s not always true. I do value the work though. I think that once I can put my nose to the grindstone (such an odd expression) that it allows me to forget my problems and work on someone else’s.
I was told this week that it seems I lack self confidence which explains why I am without significant other. I don’t think that’s true personally. I may not be the most upbeat person when it comes to myself, but I’m not constantly staring into my life and wishing for the sweet embrace of death. I think the reason I’m single is I really haven’t tried to get out there and find someone. I’m not quite sure why that is, maybe I’m just not ready. Maybe I’ve grown used to the single life and except for the cold bed have come to love it. I don’t think that’s true either, but I must say that sometimes I enjoy just being here and talking to my cat while I play games. I think they help take my mind off of it and let me live out my fantasies of being a dwarf hunter with a large gun. I wonder what that says about me? :)
I have grown a beard since the last time I made an entry. I think it’s coming in quite nicely and I must say that I find myself more attractive with it. I realize there are people out there who don’t like beards, but they’re just jealous of my mad beard growing skills. :D In all seriousness.. I do like it though. I can’t say that I will be growing it down to my stomach and start playing a guitar while singing about “Legs”, but I will grow it a bit. Keep it moderately trimmed and looking cool. I even had a pretty hot chick give me her number the other night. Not sure why, but she hasn’t called me back yet. Maybe she’s unsure about the beard or was just trying to get a big tip on her check (yea, she was a waitress). I must say that would be a good tactic for someone who would tip big. Unfortunately I’m not really that type. I tip based on how well the service was and it was OK.
Well.. I think I’ll wrap this up by saying that yes.. I am still alive and kicking. I am still single (almost a year now), and yes I am a total hermit crab as of late. Hope everyone else is having a nice life and enjoying the choices they have made.

Happy new years everyone.. now.. I’ve said it.. we can move on. I can honestly say that when 2010 clicked over, people were partying, watching the ball drop, drinking lot of alcohol, and probably kissing their girlfriends/boyfriends. Me? Oh well I was in Onyxia’s Lair getting ass banged by her and her little minions. I think we were the first one to wipe in 2010 on WoW. Sure, I was invited to a couple of parties for new years, but honestly there’s one thing that truly bums me out and that’s hanging out with my friends and seeing them kiss their girlfriends or whatever at midnight. Nothing says “you’re single and there’s nothing you can do about it” like watching them smooch each other. I’m happy you’ve found someone and are happy, but would you please have some consideration for someone who hasn’t been so lucky? I’m not one that minds PDA, but please not right in front of me. I don’t care to see it.
Anyways.. that’s my rant. I enjoyed spending new years in front of my computer with a couple of random people. I can deal with being single, just have to avoid these times of the year when being this way isn’t really a good thing. That being said I didn’t make any resolutions… I didn’t decide to stop doing my bad habits, make more money, or even try to find true love. I will continue to do as I always have.. Live my life, bitch about the couple of things I can’t change about it, and have the occasional smoke.
One final note… I realize that a couple of my friends might read the first paragraph and think that it sounds weird or hostile towards them. It’s not meant to be… it’s just very difficult to say “could you please stop doing that, it’s making me depressed” without coming off like a douche. Anyways.. enjoy your 2010. I’ll be where I always am and most likely always will be. In front of the computer.. fighting some imaginary monsters. Adios.
