Saturday, In the Park

Actually is was a bar but let me continue on.


Yesterday was a bitter sweet day for me. For one thing my sinus headache finally went away. And the aches I was worried were actually the flu just kind of disappeared over night as quickly as they came. I am not really sure where they came from but am happy it did not amount to anything. See I am planning on getting my flu shot on Tuesday. Anyway moving on.

I played hooky on Saturday. I had scheduled to give blood. What was I thinking. It was the Michigan vs Michigan State football game and I planned on watching the game at a bar. Now I have drank before after giving blood. It was a long time ago and was by accident. The 16 ounce Coors Light beer I had about floored me and personally I think Coors Light is pretty light weight beer to begin with. I decided that giving blood and drinking was not a good idea. Well that and I already was not feeling real well earlier in the week and I had those flu shots coming... So I blew off the blood donation. What makes it worse is I do not give blood during the winter so I am probably done for the year.

Now for the bitter sweet. The good news, my team was going to win that game. The bad news, my team was also going to lose. My home team is Michigan State. I really wanted them to win. I wore a Michigan State sweat shirt and all. But at the same time I grew up a University of Michigan fan and will always be a fan. For Michigan State to win that would mean U of M would need to lose. I wait all year for college football season to being and then I root on U of M and Ohio. You see I want both of them to have a great year and then comes THE GAME. Ohio vs Michigan. And if Michigan were to lose against Michigan State that would just ruin the big game.

So yesterday was very strange. I would have an occasional outburst when either team did well but for the most part I was pretty quiet. I am just so torn for that game. In the end Michigan State lost (bummer) and Michigan won (yea) but I really did not feel like celebrating. The only way I would be happy would be with a tie.

Oh I did have a smile at one point. This one lady, rather nice looking I must admit, had on a fun shirt. It said “WILL FLASH FOR BEER.” Wouldn’t you know all I had was a half pitcher of beer in front of me and no glasses. That was not good enough. Oh man. Should I end up back at that same bar in two weeks for THE GAME I will be sure to have an extra beer on hand.

Yesterday the bar lost my food order and I waited for over an hour before they said did you get your food? The waitress was kind of stupid about it if you ask me. She asked if we wanted to order again but she said they can’t cook any faster as the kitchen is all backed up. She should have offered to get them pushed to the next thing the kitchen does, they screwed up, they should have fixed it. To her offer I said no thank you I was not waiting another half hour to an hour for my food. Eventually a manager came out and offered to push it but no thank you. Now I have this taste for wings. Anyway I think I am off to find some wings somewhere.
