300 and Beer

Wednesday, March 14th, 2007 | Helpful, Life

I would of wrote this the other day, but I have been up too late every day as it is. Last couple nights I have only had 4 hours sleep, though it’s my own damn fault, but It sucks in the morning when you end up taking a caffeine pill to stay awake.

Anyways the other night I decided that I had to watch 300. I knew that this movie would either be fantastic or utter shit. It did not look to have any middle ground. Having decided that my asshole friend Rob went and watched it without me, grr… He didn’t really like it, but his opinion of movies doesn’t matter at all… Of course then my friend Chris text’d me and said it was in his TOP 5 movies now, and that did matter.

Ok, I’m sold. So I called up Ken and he said he wouldn’t mind seeing it and that he should be home on Monday between 3 and 4. This was perfect since I got out of work at 3:30, and I work half way between his place and mine, so I either go to his place or to mine and then waste a bunch of extra gas to go to his place later.

Well, stupid corporate policy… My phone was set to silent and I had not changed it. (Yes, I know I need to download that application that auto-switches cell profiles based on what cell tower you are using). So as I was just driving up to his place when I decided to check my phone only to see a text msg and 3 missed calls…. Ken wouldn’t be able to get to his place until 6. It was just after 4 now.

Well damn if I am going to go back home now. So I went to the bar. It was a local biker bar that I had been to before. Never busy, but the bartenders are always hot and showing off what they got. It actually used to be a strip club, but that’s another story… So I decided to have a beer, one of the large ones (of course). I sat there for awhile and talked to the people in the bar. All of which were regulars except me. I think I disappointed some old guy when I didn’t know where something in Wisconsin was. Didn’t want to disappoint him too much since he had a hacksaw laying on the bar next to him (seems the bar manager had asked to use it to cut something earlier…. still seemed odd to me). Ended up talking to this other lady. She wasn’t at all attractive or anything, but she was an individual and made for interesting conversation, and I was still talking to her when Ken showed up.

Ok, now it was time for a movie… Well, almost. We were hungry. Went to Fridays. Their menu selection looked good but our service and food sucked. The only thing that it had going for it that night was that there was a ton of attractive girls there right by us. Of course, if I had to guess they would probably have all been under 18, so I didn’t spend too much time speculating.

That done and over wit we finally got to see the movie, however I was planning to watch this as a matinee and now it was a late night showing. I was tired when the movie started and a little worried when I saw all the guys just walking around in nothing but underwear and superman capes, but I got over that soon enough.

Why? Because the movie was everything a red blooded guy needs in a movie at least since I watched it after 3 large beers. The movie had:
