I am That Stupid Also???


So we've had really nice weather the last few days and I've attempted to read outside of my nearest coffee shop.  Trouble is, the people who shared in my idea of getting outdoors are complete idiots and their mindless blathering clogs my ears and strangles my mind and makes it impossible to concentrate on what I'm reading.

Today's morons were these two college aged girls.  Now right off the bat, I new they'd be idiots because they were young girls.  And we all know that 98% of young girls have absolutely nothing worth a damn EVER run through their minds.  These creatures are the closest things to worthless that we should ever come near.

Well these two brain surgeons were true to form.  I read the same paragraph about 20 times and finally gave up.  I sat quietly, trying my hardest not to hear their conversation.  But unlike the two older ladies who were quietly talking to each other, these two stupid girls were all but screaming.  I could only shake my head in complete disgust as I choked down my latte.

Youth is wasted on the young.  I now know that I pretty damn stupid when I was younger.  Of course, times were different back then.  Each year gets faster and less private.  Cell phones bring everyone assholes conversation into the public domain.  Its impossible to go through your day quietly and discreetly.  And believe me, I try like hell to do it each and every day.

'Bout the only thing I can do these days is shake my head and laugh at the idiots that bombard my daily life.  I can't avoid them.  They drive beside me.  They shop at the same grocery store.  I work with them.  And I have to hold my tongue, lest I tell them what I really think of them and their opinions.  Of course, I'm confident that my opinion is of no concern to them.  

I'll just have to go through the days, loathing them.  I'll have to quietly hold the knowledge that most of the people that I encounter are so far beneath me that I shouldn't even let their pathetic lives disturb me.  Of course, that's easier said than done.  If they'd just let me read and drink my coffee in peace and quiet, then I wouldn't have to write these scathing entries.  Then again, I am improving my typing speed.  Hah!!!!!!!!!!!!

My love for music

I've been wondering lately which one of my kids is going to catch the music bug. Or if any of them will. I was about 8 years old (Wyatt's age) when I caught the bug. I remember a Christmas around that time when I got two albums, Elton John's Greatest Hits and Neil Diamond's Greatest Hits. I wore those albums out! And my aunt Nan loaned me a stack of albums and said that one day I'd thank her. I can't remember the exact albums, but I know one was Frank Zappa. One was the Rolling Stones. I believe there was a Zeppelin and a Grateful Dead. When I first got into music, it was all vinyl. There was a local music shop in Fayetteville called Paradise Records. They also had tapes. Then one day these things called CDs appeared. The CD section was tiny at first. And my first CD was Huey Lewis and the News 'Sports.' But that section quickly grew and before you knew it, the record section was almost non-existent. We used to go to the record shop all the time. Back th...

Thoughts On Bars and Bartending

  Now for some thoughts about bars and bartending, which I did for 25 years. BIG disclaimer: these are my opinion. They're opinions based on a ton of experience on both sides of the bar. But please don't take them as fact. Within the hierarchy of the restaurant, the bartender is right behind the chef at the very top. Both the chef and the bartender are responsible for creating things. Both should be expertly skilled. And both are the reasons that guests come to the restaurant. I got my first bartending gig in 1998. I attended a bartending school which the BIGGEST waste of time and money. I'll explain why shortly. My first gig was at the Angus Barn. I didn't know what the hell I was doing. I had never bartended a day in my life. But their hiring philosophy was to hire good people (which they couldn't train) and then train those good people to do what they needed to do. I was there for two years. I got better with each shift. Looking back I realize that I was awful. A...
