An interesting week
The Guster show at Bimbo's was fantastic (thanks Kathy!) We had such a great time and being able to reminisce with Guster about the Boner Bong made my night.
The next day, I was at work when an employee of the Improv (the comedy chain) stopped in and told me Orney Adams was in town. I had seen him in the Jerry Seinfeld movie/documentary "comedian" and I told the guy I thought he came across as "a cocky little bastard" About 30 minutes later, a customer got up from one of the tables and thanked me for getting him a knife he asked for earlier and added that he "was sorry that I didn't like him in the movie" I said, what? and he repeated "sorry you didn't like me in the movie comedian" Sure as shit, it was Orney Adams. All I could say was "sorry, I just didn't like it" as he grinned on his way out. Needless to say I couldn't help but laugh at the absurdity of it all.
Speaking of Starbucks, work tonight bit my shiny metal ass! We had a line out the door all night, and I was the only one on bar, so a lot of lateral motion = Nicky with a really sore back. Usually there will always be breaks in the craziness to catch your breath, relax, etc. but not tonight. Plus, I have to work at 10am again so my body isn't exactly happy with me right now.
But all things considered, living downtown here makes things interesting and keeps me on my toes. I love the atomosphere and such, but I wish I would open up a bit more and make some new friends out here. I used to be a really friendly guy with a lot of acquaintences, but I think that once I moved out of Western New York, I realized that there were really only a few people that I truly cared about as friends, the kind that you keep in close touch with, and such. In the WNY area, I really only have maybe 5 people like that, even if we go months between communication, things always pick up right where they left off. In Denver, I really miss hanging out with Lawrence and Sara, but the rest of that experience was kind of like filler material. As if I was just killing time until I finally end up somewhere I feel more at home? Is this area that place I'm looking for? It's too early I think to accurately decide, but it would just be nice to get to know more people here and make a connection. My co-workers for the most part aren't the type of people I really enjoy spending a lot of time around in that friendship role. Not like Heidi was in Denver.
Fortunately there's at least a few people we knew out here before moving but it's not like we hang out with them all that often. I get to go home in a week, and I'm excited at the idea of seeing some friends, and possibly even getting some roller hockey, and snowboarding in. I suppose that is what has led me to type all this rambling nonsence at 2am (well that and midori sours, while waiting for laundry to dry) Jeska and I still need to figure out what we are doing for NYE, but we are both hoping that it involves Shawn and Chris (hint, hint we really miss you two)
Oh, be on the lookout for some new mood icons for me in the near future...
and you should ask Jeska about our fun night at the bar on Thursday :)
