geebsYesterday, had lunch at Jim N' Nick's BBQ with the usual suspects. We met Jim or Nick and the hostess kinda looked like Cindy the stewardess from Lost. Okay, not really. Meeting Jim or Nick that is, the hostess still looked liked Cindy. A bit pricey, but it is a hop, skip, and a jump away from the house. Since I wanted to try everything out, get the Pittmaster's plate with spare ribs, hot sausage links, beef brisket and pulled BBQ pork, with fries and mac and cheese for my sides. It was all tasty, I liked the sausage in particular. The cheesy bread was nice too. After, headed back to play a couple of games of Arkham Horror with three of the expansions. It wasn't too crazy, and we did end up winning both times.
Hmm, the writer's block of the day for yesterday was: If you were 12 and could see yourself now, do you think you'd be happy or disappointed, and why? I dunno, I've never thought that far ahead, so I don't know what I'd be expecting out of adult me when I was a kid. And I'm one of those people who doesn't get their hopes up for fear of disappointment. I mean, I'll act all egg-cited for some movie or tv show or video game or comic or book or what have you coming out, but its not like I have high hopes for them, just that I know I'm easily amused. So, its not like I was expecting to have conquered the world (not literally, because I have no interest in such a thing, too much work to get there, too much too managed once you do).
I mean, I have an okay job and life, so what more could I ask for? A hot gf, more money, a cooler car, various firearms and electronic equipment? But who doesn't want most of that stuff? I think one would always want more. Like I could be a little disappointed I hadn't yet had a threesome with a short-haired blond green-eyed snowflake and a hot Asian girl with raven hair with a colored stripe in it and an Australian accent of similar heights, but that's not something I expect to actually accomplish. Getting behind the wheel of a sweet sports car/muscle car/rice rocket and getting to zoom down the highway or firing a machine gun or automatic shotgun are easier to attain goals I guess, since there are places you can prolly pay to do either but its not that disappointing that I've never done either. (Actually, I guess there are places you can prolly pay to do the previous as well, but I don't have that kinda money!) I guess 12 year old me would be at least relieved I'm not like a bum or dead or anything. So I suppose I would not be disappointed by future me back then.
