i spent a minute trying to decide where this post fit.
news is obviously wrong.. so is politics and so is religion where i spend most of my time, so i decided to hop to here.. Misc.. where al lthe random claptrap lands.
we decided tonight that we needed ricitonis for dinner. and whne we go to the down town area i promise we had not anticipated the depth of the mistake we'd made in our decision.
there was the most god awful band playing in the front of quiznos... a cross between bluegrass and leftover horse patties. i felt myself getting more stupid with ever note. it was so bad it caused physical pain. little old lady form pasadena, done on an upright bass, a banjo and an old guy who couldn;t hold a note if there was a .45 poited to his head. i don't know who thye were, but they sucked so bad it made me sad for them and the people who had to listen.
and yes.. i had to listen, if i wanted riccitonis... there was no escape... the entry was full, with no where else to wait except on the sidewalk while my ears got raped by these musically retarded people.
we had to park near compass bank and walk to riccatonis. no other parking was closer, and we felt lucky to get that spot.
on the way from the car to the restaurant we were enthralled with an astounded collection of cheap crapola from one side of the street to the other. never befor have i see such a usless selection of mishmashed bargain bin junk since the last ren fair.
never again will i even think about spending time nor money nor energy on court street on the first friday of the month. i like the veal marsala ricc offers, but i'd rather have a whopper jr than deal with the neck deep collection of idiots, crap, and talentless wonders that infest court street on the first friday of every month.
it's just not worth it.
Isn't it great to be able to freely express your opinion even if it is completely wrong.
I'm sure if you had called the mayor he would have cleared the street so you could have walked quietly to your resturant, heck they might have even closed the resturant to everyone except you, never mind everyone else enjoying themselves!!!!!
the really great part is that as it turns out i'm NOT wrong, because it IS my opinion.
are you goign to tell me that my favorite color is blue next? or that i don't like billy joel after all?
nah.. to me, it was all a bunch of pointless poop, cheap tourist-trap type crapola for sale at insanly inflated prices, really bad paintings and really ugly clothing.
some people seem to enjoy it but it was, to me, a 3 block suckfest.
perhaps if you re-read the last paragraph of my initial post, maybe this time you'll understand that i was talking about what i plan to do, not what i think the city should do.
i think first friday is a waste of time and money and a great annoyance and noise poloution - therfore, i shan't be going back.
now, if you would, please, re read what i wrote and tell me where it was that i said they should stop doing 1st fridays? where did i hint that the whole city give way for my desires?
where did i mention i wanted to be the only people in the restaurant?
i can't help it if my opinion of first friday offended you. i'm not goign to change it, and i don't really care if your offended or not.
guess what? i think first fridays is horrible. i hate spam, i would rather get stabbed in the thigh with a fork than eat cauliflower, i never liked the music of loretta lynn, i am not impressed by helen keller or miss sullivan, i wish wc handy had been born elsewhere, and i think the alabama music hall of fame is a joke. i also don't like fried green tomatos.
so what i plan to do is not eat fried green tomatos or spam or cauliflower, avoid country radio, stay away from ivy green and the redneck music house and just stay home during handyweek so i don't have to deal with any of it. oh, yeah, i'll be staying home on the 1st friday of every month as well.. because i've seen first friday, and i think it's a pointless collection of crap, covered with a layer of crappy music.
at what point did i even hint that i desired anything you mentioned in your over reaction?
it was just my opinion, why did it offend you so? it's not like i said ' anyone who enjoys this must be a hayseed retard who needs to be put out of their misery. '
i don't feel that way, and wouldn't say it if i did because it's mean and unnecessary.
