This Weekend...

Friday me, Michelle, Todd, and Lilly went to see Cloverfield. The movie was absolutely amazing. It was not an entirely new idea, but a completely original take on it. I don’t like to spoil anything with movies so I’ll just say that the movie is great from start to finish. After the movie we were all really excited and absolutely freezing as we walked over to Lynnwood Grill across from the Raleigh Grande. We had never been here before and there was some live music and a buzzing atmosphere, so it seemed promising. We walked in and quickly found no seats available so we moved to the outside where they had heat lamps, which felt really good. Now, this would have been a new favorite place of mine to go had the following not happened. Todd and I walked in to the bar to order some drinks. The bar tender asked to see both of our IDs and then took Todd’s order; Todd was ordering for Lilly and himself. She came back, delivered the beers, and then took off. I was like, “damn she just skipped right past me,” as me and Todd laughed about it, but it was soon no laughing matter. I waived her down as she looked at me in confusion. I told her that those were his beers and I still need to order. She looked kinda rattled but asked what I wanted. I placed my simple order for two beers and placed the twenty in her hand. She responded “Ok, I’m gonna need to see two IDs.” I said, “Oh no, haha, these are both for me.” She said, “If you are ordering two beers then I need to see two IDs" and handed me back my money. Whoa… Hold up. Is she really denying me to have two beers at once? Ok, play it cool. “Ok, tell ya what, hang on to this twenty and I’ll go get you the ID of the person that is with me.” She agreed. I went out and explained my situation to Michelle and she lended her ID, no problem, right? Wrong… “OK here you go, two IDs” She replied, “No. I can’t accept this. This could be anyone’s ID.” I said, “Anyone’s ID? Do you think just anyone would give me their ID to buy a second beer?” She responded, “I’m not going to give you the beer. You are going to have bring the person up here or I’ll send someone outside.” This would have been ok if she had been nice to me thus far and if I did not have to wait in this incredibly long ass line every time I came back in. Angry, I snatched my twenty out of her hand and told her to just send someone outside. Here’s the best part. She comes storming outside after me, THE CUSTOMER, and proceeds to tell me not to snatch money out of her hand and blah blah blah. She’s being irate at this point, in which case I had the right to be, not her. I did NOT want to talk to her any further so I responded, “OK. Just get someone else and send them out here!” and she shot me this “Go to Hell” look and responded, “Yes Sir! Mr. Bossman. Right away!” I have never been so pissed. I wanted to just leave, but she was not going to stop me from having a good time with Michelle and my friends. Since she obviously never sent anyone out to provide me with beer, me and Michelle just went inside to order some beers. I went to a guy this time but I was too late as I could over hear her telling him how she felt about me. Either way, I placed my order for 4 beers this time, fearing that I would not get another shot, plus the bar had become very packed by this time. The guy asked for both of our IDs and then had to escort us back outside with the 4 beers because obviously two people can’t drink 4 beers. When he saw that both Todd and Lilly had beer already, then he let us have the 4 beers all to ourselves. I gave him the twenty and they sent someone else out to give me my change. NEEDLESS to say, I will never return to a place that is so hard to get a damn beer. MAN! Haha. I didn’t even want to talk about it anymore, but felt like I had to at least blog it, lol.


Saturday was a very wet and cold rainy day. Michelle and I slept in a little and then went to Duffy’s for lunch later that day. After lunch we went back to play Guitar Hero III and Call of Duty 4, both of which are bad ass. We just took it easy and played games all day. Later that day it started to snow! We were excited and decided to go to Gandolfo’s Deli for lunch. However, Gandolfo’s was closed so we went to CiCi’s Pizza. I love that place! : ) We stuffed our faces with all the wonderful treats that CiCi’s had to offer, haha. After that it was starting to really come down outside, so we headed back home. On the way home we stopped to take some pictures.

Sunday, Michelle and I went to this fancy Chinese restaurant called P.F. Chang’s. The food was sooo good there, and it was Michelle’s first time. We ordered Chang’s Spicy Chicken, because I know she loves anything spicy. She ordered a Royal Poolside, or something like that haha, and I ordered a Nutty Uncle. I can’t remember what was in either drink, but they were both very yummy! Later on, we went to Sam Ash to pick up some strings for Michelle’s electric guitar and we played with some of the guitars as well. Guitar stores are so much fun to go into and play around in. Later on that evening after church, we went back to her place and I strung up her guitar for her. Once it was all done and tuned, it was time for me to head out. This weekend was another great one!

This coming week and weekend will also be amazing. Wednesday, Michelle and I are going to see a band called Honor by August, playing at the Pour House, for our 2 month anniversary, which is actually Tuesday. Saturday, we are going to Charlotte to see my friend John. He just opened up a new club called Charlotte’s Underground. I can’t wait to hit the road this weekend and see friends and family with Michelle by my side.



Stay tuned for the week ahead!

That shit sounds made up. No waitress could be that much of a bitch. You must be exaggerating.

I wish it were made up. I wish I had never experienced such a horrible person. But sorry, it is true. I don't feel the need to exaggerate or make things up. That is not the purpose of my blog.
