Nearly Full Day

How about something that isn't sports-related?

It's been a very interesting day. I woke up at 11:30AM, and it was totally on purpose. I did the usual wake-up routine. Stop iTunes, brush teeth, shower, dress, check NetVibes, turn off computer, and get something to drink. I laid around for an hour while watching TV. I can't remember what exactly I watched in the beginning. But I ended up on "Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind" around 2PM. Watched that for a little bit, and then headed out.

Eventually got to my parents' house. I didn't eat breakfast, so I was already hungry by this point. Now, I know that I don't eat the healthiest things, but I'm fortunate to have an inhuman metabolism. I can lose weight by eating ice cream and downing soda. It doesn't make sense. So, I ate 3 Dulce de Leche cookies as a snack. Those things are awesome. But I still got hungry an hour later. By this time, we had already decided that we were going to DoubleDave's. Tonight is one of the 3 nights a week that the have a buffet. I loaded up on Pepperoni Rolls.

Everyone remembers things differently. Some people remember better if they write it down. Others are blessed with a photographic memory. Well, my memory is attached to two other senses. I have an easy time remembering things that I hear, and things that I smell. While I was at DoubleDave's, a woman walked by me. But whatever lotion or perfume she was wearing smelled very familiar. I remembered it form middle school. I can't think of a good way to descibe the smell, but I'll try. It's full, soft, and sweet. Almost like a combination of vanilla, milk, and honey. It starts at the tip of your nose, and then spreads throughout. It isn't subtle, but it doesn't make you flinch. After one moment, it makes you wish everything smelled that good.

I'm going to help my mom watch the kids tomorrow, so I decided to spend the night at my parents' house. So I went by the apartment and picked up a change of clothes. (As my dad was pulling up, I noticed 3 attractive females in bathing suits. I had never seen them before, but I hope I see them again.) We watched some shows that my parents recorded, and everything was pretty quiet.

They went to bed at 10:30PM, and I've been searching the channels for a while now. Started with Family Guy, skipped over half of an hour, watched Bleach, and then started a poker game. Finished 1st. By that time, Red Eye had started, so I watched that. (Best quote from today's: "If beauty and brains were a briefcase, I'd put my business in her.")

And then I really lucked out. I don't know how many people know about Fuse, but they have a 30-minute show called "Loaded." It's just a block of music videos from a single artist. The first, which started at 2AM, was dedicated to Stone Temple Pilots. I was really hoping they would show the video for Sour Girl, just because it's probably my favorite song from them. They did play:

"Vasoline"
"Interstate Love Song"
"Sex Type Thing"
"Creep"
"Big Bang Baby"

And now, as I end this post, the next Loaded is dedicated to Red Hot Chili Peppers. So far, they've aired:

"Otherside"
"Breaking The Girl"
"Fortune Faded"
"Hump De Bump"
"Under The Bridge"

I really hope they show "Scar Tissue." That song reminds me of my last high school summer. My brother was a courier, and I would ride around with him downtown. At the time, Pat was a courier for the same company. Each driver had a radio for communication, and we would crack up.

While there isn't much left for me in Dallas, I will miss certain areas of North Dallas. Farmers Branch and Addison come to mind. I think of Farmers Bracnh because while I was on a run with my bro, we spotted a chic in a bikini. She must have been in her early 20s, but she was extremely hot. We purposely made a U-turn to get a better look. I think of Addison because there are some great restaurants there. Pastazio's Pizza was amazing.

And if you happen to be near Northpark Mall, I definitely recommend Piggy Pies. It isn't a very big place, and it only has a small TV for entertainment, but the food is excellent.

Nope, they didn't air "Scar Tissue."
