Hate To Love Me

Date From Hell

Bleh. What a terrible day.

The day started way too early and involved me having to pay for parking at the college (I rue paying for parking) and then writing an essay on ethics relating to advertising. To me censorship is bullshit but my prof is a holier than thou saint so I gave him the answer he wanted based on the material he told us to read. Every week I walk out of that class feeling empty, like I’m a bad person or something. Guys in the industry have extremely liberal attitudes to a majority of issues and then when thrown into a discussion of ethics I feel so out of place. C’est la vie.Â

I went and got a Booster Juice only to be served by what was possibly the most anti-social/unfriendly girl in the entire population of service industry workers. I don’t understand how you can put yourself in such a public position and serve people so blandly. Get a job behind a computer screen or something if you don’t like being social-able. Fuck.

A friend of mine got in touch with me at around 4:00PM. This poor girl is so sick and she wanted to take the bus to the E.R. at the hospital. I told her she was stupid and that I’d pick her up in 15. I completely forgot that it was rush hour traffic so I blared The Deftones and played some air guitar/drums and sang to keep myself awake.  It was a gorgeous day out so I had the window open more than a crack for the first time in 6 months and got some fresh air as I was driving, glorious.Â

I pull up to my friend’s house and she comes out and the poor girl looks like death warmed over. She looks horrible, absolutely sick and instantly my heart melted. I race over to the E.R., which was a 20 minute drive. I can’t believe she wanted to take the bus. We go into the waiting room and hang out.Â

I haven’t known this girl for too long and we’re two completely different people, but when we get together I feel so relaxed and simple. Things just seem to flow and we have a good relaxed time, and that’s what I absolutely love about this girl is that things are just so relaxed and low key. Even though I haven’t seen her in about a month we sat there talking like we’d not only known each other our entire lives but had seen each other the day before. These are the people you keep around.

After a little while she goes up to the counter to check on progress and then comes up to me and informs me that the hospital had a 45 hour wait. We left immediately. I couldn’t believe it and I still can’t. Is this what health care has come to? I’ll stick with Medi-Centre’s.

I drop my friend back at her place and get a call from my date who I had invited to a movie screening I won tickets for (I wrote a humorous post on reasons why they should give me free tickets). What I didn’t realize was that this was going to be a date from hell. I don’t know what went wrong, normally I’m good at dates, but this was absolutely horrible. The movie is the new Mark Wahlberg film called “Shooter”. It’s a pretty cool sniper flick and although it drags on at points I’d say go see it for entertainment. Other than the movie though, wow. I’m never going to hear from this girl again and I really really don’t care. I’ve never met such a nice girl with so little to say about anything. Conversation was taxing and I wanted to bring her home after the movie even though I had previously mentioned I was going out for dinner afterwards. Fuck that noise.

I’ve driven across the city 6 times today, and now I’m here, relaxing. Props to Fresno Smooth for hearing me out and making my day a little lighter.

Sorry about the lack of updates guys. I’m going to try to be more vigilant with updating on a daily basis but life’s crazy and sometimes I just don’t have shit to write about.

See you next time. Same bat time. Same bat channel.Â
