North, South, East, and West, where you are

__2004-10-17 @ 11:58 p.m._______ so this weekend was pretty cool. On friday night we watched Mean Girls after an Indian dinner. Afterwards, I went to Radio to check out the scene and see if I would run into any friends from work. Instead, I just ran into a fucking drunk chick who insisted that I was "flawed-handsome," and that I was "80% handsome and like, 20% flawed," as she fell to the floor. I was like "oh yeah?" Then she got up and grabbed my face with her hands and said "and if you smile a little more, your percentages might go up." Then she fell down again and said that I might be standing on her purse. Again, I'm like "oh yeah?" I spent the rest of the night thinking of how much I wished the one of my friends would have been there to see it, 'cause it was one of the funniest things I've ever seen. The next night I went out after work to the Ruby Room (see the entry about punk rock bar scenes) with a friend from work. We talked about starting a band and came up with about 70 different ridiculous names. I got really drunk and listened to the great tunes the dj was playing (joy division, duran duran, echo & the bunnymen) and watched people on the dancefloor while Melissa told me a story and I felt sad or just strange or just drunk for awhile...I was having a great time in Oakland on a Saturday night and I live here and I go to this bar and I still drink PBR and I'm drunk and I'm thinking "how did I get here?" And while it might be plainly stated, it popped into my head last nite and seemed so profound and strange. Then, I was drunk dialed by my friend Greg, and I was like "ok, I'm just drunk and being nostalgic. Everything is just the way it is, buddy." Then, the dj played North, South, East, and West from the Church and I became the only guy in the bar jamming out on the dancefloor...or so it seemed. I had some other things I wanted to write about but I can't remember what. I'll try and write from work tomorrow. And check out the Nolan myspace site here. All the cool people are joining...get with it dude. << | >>
