it's good to be alive

the following is so good i have to be telling the truth.

tonight my friends chris and tony came over to hang out. i love these guys and it was nice to catch up on what everyones been up to over the summer. so we're just kicking around and decide to drive to Alex to get milkshakes at Perkins. so we hop in the car and drive over. the first thing that happens is the sprinkler system is on outside of the restaurant and one is spraying directly at the front door forcing us to run through it to get inside. well, i'm running behind my friend chris and she gets in the door before me and without paying attention is pulling the door closed because she's leaning on it while laughing hysterically. so i'm outside trying to pull the door open getting sprayed repeatedly with water. i finally get inside and i'm soaking wet and the waitress looks at me like i'm some kind of idiot who just decided to get crazy and run through their sprinklers.

so she seats us at a table and after we get our drinks these two guys roll in, one of which is wearing a t-shirt that reads "Bukaki for One" and the other littler guy is carrying a laptop computer under his arm. the waitress seats them directly behind us and i start to eavesdrop, as usual. they're having a conversation about how there are no good female singers anymore, except for the chick from Evanescence, then they decide to make mix tapes and sell them for three dollars a piece. i laugh to myself and start talking with my friends at the table when all of a sudden the song When you Love a Woman by Brian Adams starts playing really loud from behind me. these two guys were honestly playing music from their computer while they were eating, loud enough for the whole restaurant to hear. i'm laughing so hard i think i'm going to choke to death and the next song to play is Don't Stop Believing by Journey, then followed by that John Mayer song about running through your high school and to top it all off, as i'm trying to drink my diet coke I Will Always Love you, as sung by Whitney Houston starts playing at top volume. What's even better is these guys didn't even seem embarassed and they also didn't look like they were doing it for a reaction, they were just fucking seriously playing some music while they ate dinner. and what's even wierder then that is that no one in the restaurant said anything or even seemed to mind, i think me and my friends were the only people who thought it seemed out of the ordinary. people are so fucking wierd. it's moments like this that make me love my life.

so i pose the question; would you bring a boom box to perkins and play your favorite songs? and if you would what songs would you want to play as you were eating your 24 hour breakfast sampler?
