She informed that she had been on a couple of dates with a guy since my offer, and the cessation of our romantic relationship. My initial thought was that I did not want to intrude on the potential of something super new and delicate. I informed her of my concern, and she stated that she was going.
It being Metallica... Couldn't blame her. Wise decision.
On the trip to AT&T Stadium (Wonderful venue by the way.), I asked her if the date had inquired about me...
"I told him you were 'brilliant'. He did not like that."
First... I loathe the questions you have to ask, but know you will not like the answers to. The ones were you gotta know... but you don't want to know... I knew where the guy was coming from.
As in many instances when asked a question along those lines I answer the question with a question, "Do you reeeeeally want to know the answer to that question? If so, I will tell you. I can't make you like the answer, but you will know it is the honest truth."
So... Her first adjective for me was "Brilliant". Nice compliment!
Hmm.
This week I had to spend a $50 rewards thingy at Best Buy, or it would expire. I got the fifty bucks by buying my new Galaxy S8+ (Love that sumbitch! Battery from HELL in it!) on my Best Buy Credit Card, which got me the reward points, and then using my bank card to pay the Best Buy bill, getting points on the bank card.
Even I will pat myself on the back for that one. Not changing my name to High "Point Master" Bleed anytime soon though.
So, I snagged a new Magic Bullet blender, which I use to make protein shakes in. The one I have was a hand me down from Mom and Dad. It has served it's time and pulled a good shift. While still functional, blending milk and protein powder sounds like I put gravel, nails, and baby teeth in a small blender.
That purchase left about 16 bucks to go... Hey! I like vinyl records... Let's look up some! I go through a couple of pages... and there it is! Faith No More's 1989 beast of a record - "The Real Thing". Oooh... deluxe edition! TIGHT! You damn right we adding to cart!
Received the package on Thursday. It is sitting next to my turntable now... and when proof reading this blog begins, I will throw it on.
Sitting directly beneath it... is the other copy of Faith No More's 1989 beast of a record - "The Real Thing" that I have had for quite sometime. I found it this morning. Took five seconds to find it in my collection.
So... "Brilliant"?
Most anyone who has known me longer than a day, has probably heard me state that, "I have my moments.", in response to compliments and insult alike.
And I guess that is the way of a lot of things. You take the dumbest person on Earth... and at the right moment... BOOM! they can (and recently have) become President or something. It is all about the "moments".
I do some absolutely stupid shit.
I also have done some really, really stupid shit.
Thankfully, I usually only end up hurting myself. It's okay... I am a Self Contained Sadist... AND Masochist...
Now, I do some smart stuff now and then. It's just that you don't recall the "good" as easily.
In "Confessions of a Winning Poker Player", Jack King said, "Few players recall big pots they have won, strange as it seems, but every player can remember with remarkable accuracy the outstanding tough beats of his career."
Here's why... When you get beat... It leaves a SCAR! A lasting impression. One that you hopefully learn from.
This is why when I here someone call someone an idiot at work or something, I never jump in on the abuse. I usually toss my "We all have our moments... some, more than others."
The people who spend their time on one end of the spectrum - being stupid, are ones that I just don't spend a lot of time around. If that works for them and they are happy as a pig in shit, in their ignorance, and I am not getting rained on by swine feces... More power to them.
I will just wait to see the video when it goes viral on YouTube.

A husband comes home to find his wife with her suitcases packed in the living room. "Where the hell do you think you're going?" he says. "I'm going to Las Vegas. You can earn $400 for a blow job there, and I figured that I might as well earn money for what I do to you free."
The husband thinks for a moment, goes upstairs, and comes back down, with his suitcase packed as well. "Where do you think you going?" the wife asks. "I'm coming with you...I want to see how you survive on $800 a year!!!"I am gonna cure cancer!
One minute here, and one minute there,
