Dart Cops Suck...

I have lived Downtown for a while now-about 4 years and this is a first! I am a menace in a vehicle and apparently am no better on foot. Mondaymorning I received my very non-car related citation. Or what the looser DART cops call "Non-Traffic Citation." Yes folks I got a ticket forj-walking!! Did you you know that this is gonna cost me $300.00! WTF?According to my ticket: "Disregard of an Official Traffic Control Device at a Crosswalk." Basically I walked when the light told me not to. I would have probably been given a warning but I had to be a smart ass.

The Lunch Date...

I swear I hate dating. I just had a horrible lunch date with a guy. An old co-worker set me up on this blind date that I wanted no part of. But, dating is like the lottery-If you don't play, you can't win. So I went. Sigh. Whatever happened to manners and decorum? I knew this lunch date was going south when the man belched right in front of me. We went to a local establishment close to my office. First of all, we were in no hurry. I guess maybe he was when he proceeded to inhale his lunch in, and I am not kidding, less than 1 minute. I sat stunned. Stunned that someonecould actually do that. My first reaction was OMG it is like that 90 lb Asian woman who wins all those eating contests. He should apply!Seriously, he finished before I even started. I ate 1/2 my sandwich then he asked "gonna finish that?" I had planned on it but I was still grossed out so I let him have the rest--20 seconds it took him to finish. Isecretly timed him. After he finished, all he could do was talk about how much money he was making and that he just bought a new Benz. So effenwhat! I could go into further detail but I won't. At the end he asked if I wanted to do this again. This is when I called him out on his rudebehavior. I explained to him that he never let me say one word, that he was so obviously insecure that all he could do was talk about himself. Not to mention the belching in front of me at the table! Should I give him another chance? I know that first impressions are very importanthowever, I have come to learn that people sometimes have bad days or are not into the moment. Second chances are important as well. This is ahandsome guy. He said that he was smart. I was thinking more like smart as*. I too can be a smart as* and am relatively very good at it but I rarely show my colors-especially when I first meet someone. I wasn't in the mood for this today...maybe he wasn't either. He seemed really shocked that I called him out. He apologized and explained that he was nervous as he hadn't been out with someone in a long time. So we set another lunch date for later in the week. Maybe he will bring along that Asian woman!

Mocha Frapp...

My summer officially begins when I have my first Mocha Frappucinno from Starbucks. I am not much of a coffee fan but I LOVE my Mocha Frapps. That frozen goodness is all I need to make me happy. I had my first one of the season this morning and I savored every drop.

In Dreams...

I have never been afraid to fly. Every so often I have a very bad dream involving an airplane. They tend to be fairly intense as they always involve crashing. I always manage to wake myself up beforehitting the ground. Still, I wake up soaked in my own sweat and canusually barely catch my breath. Many people would probably stop flying but not me!! When it is your time, its your time. Anyway, last nights dream was very weird as it invloved a fellow BP (someone in my top 8). She and I have always talked about taking a trip together-now I'm not so sure! Ihave no idea where we were traveling but I know we were the only two in first class(of course) and the plane was huge (think 777 large). The planestarted to decend rapidly and hang to the right. We could see water (maybe we were going overseas somewhere) and it was dark. I remember the plane breaking apart. We grabbed each other and jumped out into the water. That is when I woke up. I felt like I had actually jumped in water when I woke up. I love to fly and do so often. I have had one really scary instance when I thought I was going to die but we didn't. We landed and the rest is history. But my dreams go back further than that episode. Trust me, for those who know me, I am much safer in the air than I am behind the wheel of a car! I mean people have sent me thank you cards for removing myself from the driving pool!! But that is a whole different blog. So far I have had many, many car accidents and many dreams about plane crashes. If I start having bad dreams about public transportation then I guess I will just lock myself in my apt. and rock back and forth. Apparently I haven't cursedDART, yet.
