Dinner?



Met met a woman recently who has a very hectic work schedule and so for convenience we've been e-mailing back and forth just to get to know a little about one another and after about three weeks I finally asked her if she wanted to get together for a picnic or something, she wasn't too hip on the idea so I suggested other options and they were really not that great and I had to admit to her I'm not so great at this whole dating thing. She was so sweet and just wrote back saying "Haha, you are so cute! We should go get some dinner :) "

The following was my response:

Dinner sounds great. But you should know I am very difficult. The last time I went to dinner was with my family and they asked me where I wanted to go and it made me so nervous to make a decision I ended up getting a really bad headache. Yeah, I know this might be funny, but its a true story. So if this dinner thing could be really dumbed down for me and I don't have to spend more than $10 then I could handle it and I think it could be fun. I'm not poor or a cheap-ass I just hate buying strangers a meal. Except for homeless people who I can tell are too insane to work. But I usually just buy them something on the dollar menu. Oh gosh, maybe I am a cheap-ass. Well, nobody is perfect. I'm generous in other ways, if you know what I'm saying ;) Not like a sexual thing more like I don't mind helping someone fix something or help move their furniture around. Stuff like that. So I guess if time is money I'm pretty generous with my money. So anyway, what places do you like to go for dinner?

Also, What is your name again?

The Ferrari Shirt


A while ago I went to Costco to pick up my meds, and just FYI they really do have the cheapest meds, your doctor isn't just sending your there because 25% of their stock portfolio is linked to that particular corporation. I find myself in a line of a very diverse segment of the population and think to myself, "This would make a great commercial to help promote Costco as not just a place for white people with too many children who like to load them all up on an exorbitant amount of high fructose corn syrup and stock up and cheap jeans to give away during the Christmas season."

I find myself looking around at products near the pharmacy section and the one I decide to be the most interesting just happened to be the Trojan Pleasure Pack. If you're not familiar with this item, its a forty pack with four different types of condoms for various uses. I picked up the box and read about the different types and though, "Yeah, I like I'll ever be able to tell the difference." But I like the packaging and it was only twelve bucks so I thought hey why not, maybe this is me sending out a message to the universe that its about time I get busy with that favorite American pastime, yes, you guessed it; thinking about baseball. Then maybe the universe will deliver me someone who I can look at while thinking about baseball.

It was kind of like a if you build it they will come (no pun intended) type of thought process. Well, some time has passed by now and I'm thinking, "Dang, it's a good thing I didn't buy that Ferrari shirt.
