last night

Well ladies and gentlemen the Red Sox have one their first game of the World Series and all I have to say is that I am still in shock. Growing up I never thought I would see a New England team bring home a championship. Why would I think that? Not that I was ever a huge sports fan, don't get me wrong I love to play but watching and following teams always seemed pointless to me. So it wasn't like I had an solid reasons to doubt my home teams, but for some reason I just didn't think it was gonna happen. That changed when the Patriots won the SuperBowl and then went on to win two more. Immediately, my mind went to the Red Sox. Could they ever do it? To be honest it just never seemed possible, especially after watching the first three games of the NCLS. Then something happened...as soon as I stopped watching they started winning and winning big. I mean, I am no Yankee fan but give credit where credit is due they are a baseball juggernaut and not an easy team to beat. When you throw in a negative attitude and the "curse" it is like climbing Mt. Everest in a speedo and flip flops. But the Sox pulled it off! Now we are in the series with a good chance to win...truly unbelievable.
I went to this new bar in downtown providence last night for two reasons. One to watch...err listen to the game and the other to meet face to face with a girl I met online. Now there are many critics and supporters of online dating, I tend to see it as something to do but not really expecting much out of it. This time however, I was intrigued because the young lady in question had approached me. Always a way to get on my good side! So after eating dinner with my wingman, Steve, we went to McFadden's. This is Providence's newest hotspot. All the hoochies and quidos, the young imbecilic college girls, the high rolling players, the golddiggers, even a few on leave soldiers make this place there new watering hole. To be sure, the place is in fact a nice bar, with several large screen TV's, good food, and nice atmosphere. All of which goes to hell when it is packed with the aforemetioned population.
So anyway, after waiting in line for like 40 minutes we get inside. Steve and I get a drink and then I set about to meet this young lass in person. Well upon meeting her it is clear that she is royally shitfaced. Now, I have had my fair share of runins with drunk people and I am in no way to be excluded from the intoxicated club. But this girl was fucked. She repeated the same sentence to me about 5 or 6 different times in 5-10 minute time spans. But what really annoyed me is that I went outta my way to meet this girl and when I get in the bar she hang all over this guy and then she comes talks to me for a bit and then goes back to him. So after a minute or so of that I was like whatever and watched the two of them walk off together. Of course as they are leaving I hear that guy's buddies cheer "Go get her!" Now to say that I am not a competitive person would be like saying Martin Luther King was a nazi. While I may not seem like it at first, I am a certified Alpha Male and while this girl owes me nothing, I can't help but feel a little territorial. Stupid, yes, Childish, certainly...to be swayed by superior logic, absolutely not. Visions of me ripping this guy's eyeballs out of his head flash through my frontal lobes. Make no mistake it would have been a battle on par with Batman vs. Killer Croc or Wolverine vs. the Hulk. He was much bigger than I, but I am pretty sure I was meaner.
Anyway I watched them go. But the night of fun did not end there. Oh no, as I turn around who is standing next to me? The blond chemist that I bought a drink at another bar many months ago. I even got her number, only to call her a few days later to her "Oh sorry I have a boyfriend!" It wasn't salt in the open wound folks, it was lye. Yet there was some good in this, she did not recognize me at first because of the goatee! However being a sharp girl she sooned saw through the facial hair. Now I mean no ill will to this girl, but it seems every hot spot or bar I go to she and her friend are always there. Both of them are very attractive. They tend to get a lot of attention and they also tend to have VIP cards wherever they go. For some reason that infuriates me. I don't know why...it just really pisses me off. Just like the little hooched up college girls that flirt with the bouncer to get in before everyone else. THAT REALLY ENRAGES ME! Well anyway the night pretty much ended for me after that. I don't know why I get so frustrated with the opposite sex and while I feel so innept in social situations like that. It is truly strange, I feel completely powerless in that arena. But at least the Red Sox won!
