My new love/hate relationship

Ah, my not-quite-as-beloved-as-before Buffalo Wild Wings. We once relished each other’s company and felt that the world was at peace while we were together, even when the New York Yankees were in town. That’s when I would order my wings with the Caribbean Jerk sauce, which is indeed quite yummy. But now, whenever I see your logo on a store or a commercial—especially a commercial—I suffer from a horrible flashback of Thursday. Horrible, horrible, horrible…

In a way, it’s reminiscent of being on Beauty and the Geek. Various people across the nation loved Richard because they thought he was funny. Lemme tell ya, he’s a lot funnier when you only get a 20-minute dose of him every week. If you’re there all the time… it gets aggravating after a while.

Similarly, if you’re an extra for a 30-second commercial, people might love to see someone they know right behind one of the main actors. Lemme tell ya, that’s a lot funner (yes, I said funner) when you only see the 30 seconds. If you’re there for the entire filming session (this one in particular)… it gets way more than aggravating after a loooooong while. Continue reading “My new love/hate relationship”

(Confession: I had a few false starts, but eventually skipped around until I got to a song I liked and, well, here are the results. They come across as way better than said false starts, so I have no regrets. Except for an apology to my future bride… you’ll understand when you get to that part.) Continue reading “Songs of Life”

Can you get kicked out of a movie theater…

For trying to slit your wrists? It may have been a more preferable option than sitting through the independent movie I watched on Monday night. A couple friends of mine were going (one of whom was involved with the film) and wanted me to join them. Even though the theater was about five miles away from my house, I was still a little hesitant. After all, “I don’t want to waste a couple hours of my life on a movie that sucks!”

They had two screenings, 6:30 and 8:30; I had to attend a Boy Scout meeting at 7:00, so I told the guy who was in it that I’d call him between the screenings and ask him if it was worth coming.

I gave him a ring at about 8:10 and he told me that the movie was… well, I don’t quite recall his answer (or maybe I’m editing it out since he was part of the film), but he made it sound like it was okay. Consequently, I jumped in the car, got to the theater and went inside. It was one of the worst mistakes of my life. Continue reading “Can you get kicked out of a movie theater…”
