Health nut

I know, I know, it’s hard to believe, but I’m becoming a health nut.  I’m (gasp!!!!)  drinking water with my supper tonight.  My supper of four hot dogs, bunless, and chips and queso, made out of homemade salsa.  So, all you junk food addicts out there, eat your heart out!  I’m a reformed man! 

LOL

That’s what I was thinking as I was nuking my hot dogs and queso a couple minutes ago, and pouring a tall glass of water.  But, to justify it a little more, I actually DO have fruit in the house, and the salsa was made out of  (mostly) fresh vegetables!  Last night, I barbecued a London Broil, and had a baked potato with it…  is that better?  hehehe

I haven’t had any comments about Kwyetnoiz’ note on the last entry, either.  She asked about pictures of the "log hair".  This is because I talked to her for the first time in forever the other night, when Pink, Kwyetnoiz, and I played a game of Literati (Scrabble, for all you non-yahooligans).  I told her that I was growing my hair out, and have been for about a year now.  Apparently someone (I honestly don’t know if it was me or Kwyet) mispelled long hair, and made it log hair.  So, now, for all of you who were wondering about log hair, that’s what it is.  I also must admit, that I have been away from here so long that I don’t even remember how to post pictures in here.  I am thinking Pink is going to tell me how to do it again, but I haven’t asked.  Plus, that would just mean I’d have to make my hair look all pretty and take some pictures of myself.  Good thing my digital camera has a timer, huh?  KK helped me figure that one out when I met her.  I’d only had the camera for a few years by then…  maybe 5?  LOL

Nothing else is really new.  Along with my mind, I seem to have lost the spare keys to Pink’s car, house, and mailbox.   I’ve searched all over this house, and in my car, and can’t seem to find them anywhere.  I tried to give them back to her once, but she thought I should keep them, since I am the only one who knows how to drive a stick shift.  See what that got her?  LOL  Good thing she has that AAA card!  Did you know that they unlock doors, too?  hehe  Sorry Pink, had to get that one little dig in. 

We had a little surprise on Saturday night at the bar where I play pool.  On Saturday nights, the pool tournament is usually played upstairs.  We found out after arriving, that the bar manager has decided it would be good to have Karaoke upstairs, in the same (small) room that we are having our pool tournament on Saturday nights.  They said it was because after the pool tournament, everything dies.  Well, can we help it that we come out there to play pool, and there’s really no other reason to stay?  Whoever is bartending up there plays whatever music he/she wants, however loudly he/she wants, and we have to ask to have it turned down if the balls are bouncing off the pool table between shots?  There was one bartender who would only play hip hop/rap music.  Not that I am racist or anything, but the clientele in that room was NOT the sort of people who really appreciated that kind of music.  I know you can’t please everyone, but a majority would be nice.  I don’t know, call me silly, but I think a business that is complaining about things dying should perhaps try to cater to the clientele they DO have, instead of ignoring them and trying to bring in new crowds.  Perhaps they could have repaired the pool tables so the balls actually bounce off the rails, instead of just stopping where they hit.  Instead, with the karaoke upstairs on our tournament night, 2/3 of the "regular" players in the tournament are ready to quit coming out there to play.  About 80% of the clientele at this bar are over 50, and the only reason most of us go there is because we have a good group of people to play pool with.  The young(er) people are the ones who are around the pool table.  The elder crowds are generally not going to be into karaoke, and if they don’t care about the people who play the pool tournament, they aren’t going to have anyone there at all.  I feel very strongly about this, because I have been in charge of the pool tournament since I moved into town in April.  It bothers me that they didn’t even tell ME about it.  That kinda shows how much they care about their "regular" patrons, doesn’t it? 

If we have to listen to karaoke, we’d rather go somewhere where the "scenery" is better.  And we will.  And I will lead them in walking out the door.

Anyway, just thought I’d post my little entry/post for the day to let you know that I CAN do it!  🙂
