So Monday is Memorial day and that’s sweet because that means a 3 day weekend for most. And it’s also the day the pools officially open for the summer. Everyone has BBQs at their house and people like me get trashed. But what really, is this holiday about? Wikipedia says it’s supposed to be for mourning those who died while serving in the military. We should definitely have a holiday for this. But what about family members who served in the military but died later on? My uncle Scott was in the Navy for years, just like my Dad, Mom, Grandmother, and Grandfather. He died last year.

He didn’t die while serving his country but was always über-patriotic with American flags on his bandannas, his T-shirts, his motorcycle, you name it. But he went out in the yard last November and shot himself in the head. My family gathered the week before last Thanksgiving and we buried him at Quantico after a short funeral with all the proper military ceremony, including a drawn-out ritual of folding and unfolding an American flag.

Uncle Scott may not have died while in service, but he was a US sailor and served his country. He was proud to be an American. So, come Monday, I won’t just be drinking and hanging out by the pool with friends. I will actually stop and think about what the holiday means and what it now means to me.

Come to OXO After Dark’s first ever theme Dance Party: BONDAGE.

I briefly dated a guy who was smart, sensitive, and sweet. The problem was he stretched the truth sometimes. Ok, a lot of times. It got to the point where I had to stop and analyze everything he said to me to try to figure out whether it was the truth or whether it was another one of his fantasies.

One fine day, he was all about heading up to Bellair market on Ivy Rd, grabbing two of their yummy samiches and heading off to what he called his “secret spot” for some summertime alonetime. I know, sounds romantic, right? Little did I know.

I used to love me some craigslist.

The Best Of is some of the funniest stuff I’ve ever read. I also got an awesomely cheap couch from some chick off of there. It taught me the word “asshat”. And I can never resist peeking in Missed Connections to see if anyone saw me and posted their undying love for me. (That’s pathetic, I know.) Anyways, the local craigslist also has the requisite Rants and Raves section but it’s just awful.

The entire last week, the only thread of discussion is angry people posting about whores. C-ville women are “seething whores”, apparently. We all “suck ass”. And all the waitresses in town are whores and “closet drunks”. A total hate-fest. And that’s what you’re not missing right now. Now get off the internets and go to bed.

This week: Undesirable customers

I work at a local fine dining restaurant playing at being a late night bar. We’ve become so popular now that douchebags know about us. And by douchebags I mean: the kind of people that used to pack Rapture, 216 and Rivals. Apparently they heard about our free music and now flock to my bar. To my chagrin.

Saturday night most of my converstaions went like this:

Don’t drunk-dial. Or drink and drive. Let’s see who can write the best/worst post. But it’s gotta be about you and C-ville.

Here’s mine:
