Memorial Day weekend was alright. Saturday I just did the movie thing. I went to see Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End. It was okay. Luckily my sister came to her senses and decided to barbecue. We did all of that on Sunday so people could rest on Monday or do whatever they do. The barbecue was okay food wise. The mix of people there left something to be desired though. There were a bunch of people there that I didn’t know. I just wasn’t feeling the scene. Personally, I could’ve said hello, played with my puppy girl for a minute, picked up a plate, and bounced. I didn’t but I really considered it. The only reason I didn’t was because I didn’t want to hear any body’s mouth about being a recluse. As far as I’m concerned, most people have an expiration date on them when it comes to how long I can stand to be around them. I can’t help the fact that the more I’m around people the less I like them. Irregardless of nature or nurture, I’m antisocial and for the most part, I’m comfortable with and have accepted that.
I’ve also come to realize a couple of things. One, my dislike of children is a lot stronger and pronounced then I realized or subconsciously wanted to admit and two, that my misandry (http://www NULL.answers NULL.com/topic/misandry) even extends to children. For the slow bus people and those among the vocabulary challenged, it pretty much means that I particularly dislike little boys. I guess between that, my agnosticism, and my general contempt for organized religion I’ll never be able to be a Catholic priest. God damn it! Anyway some kid came over with his grandmother (they’re related to my brother-in-law somehow) and he brings a carrier with a puppy in it. Now there are three dogs in the household already. If you know nothing about canine behavior why the fuck would you get a dog let alone bring one with you to a house with other dogs? I just don’t understand people. The poodle, Tyson and the Pomeranian, Sasha were inside. Sasha is the mother of the little boys puppy. Now Tyson pretty much sniffs every piece of ass in his vicinity, it’s natural. He’s also done a bit more than sniffing because I found out that he knocked up Sasha. I’ve made it known to my sister that if by some freak chance my pitbull actually let her poodle mount her and got pregnant that I would personally throw that litter in a garbage bag and drown them in her bathtub myself but I digress.
The puppy is terrified because it hasn’t been properly socialized and takes off running around the house and yelping. Of course Tyson thinks it’s fun and chases the wimpy little fur ball around. The boy wants the other dogs locked up or put outside. I hate people that are uncomfortable around or downright afraid of dogs demanding that you put the dogs up. Hell, it’s their house. They have more right to be there than you do. Put your dog up. Better yet put your dog up and take her home. But what can I say, it’s not my house. The boy goes on and on talking about how Tyson could just eat his dog up. Maybe if he was feral and starving but otherwise it wouldn’t happen. I so wanted to tell the boy to shut the fuck up already or tell his grandmother to shut him up. I don’t understand why people let their kids ramble on and on. You tune that shit out and don’t pay him any mind so why the fuck do you think anyone else wants to hear that? I wanted to pick him up by the throat and choke slam him through my sister’s coffee table. Then again I’d probably have to hear him scream, cry, and whine about the glass, pain, and blood too. (SIGH) Sometimes you just can’t win for trying.
My sister hadn’t even put the burgers on the grill yet. She had a bunch of other shit on the barbie but hadn’t gotten around to the burgers yet. She had the music bumping but we have very different tastes in music. I could’ve done without the Mary J. Blige. I find most of her music to be derivative and boring as fuck. Don’t get me wrong she has a couple of songs I like but for the most part I think she sucks, her music is garbage, and I don’t understand why so many black women like her music. Oh well. I’m just sitting there trying to tone out the annoying little boy and the loud sucky music. I wanted to go home so bad. I like peace and quiet and I absolutely love having the ability to control my environment. You don’t get that when you’re at someone else’s house. There wasn’t even any eye candy to look at at the moment because Little Miss Short Shorts wasn’t there yet. Well there was one hot chick there but she’s married (separated actually) but I don’t really enjoy flirting with married and involved chicks so much. Oh I’ll do it but because of their situation I always hold back and what fun is flirting if I have to hold back?
Finally the burgers are done. I grab a couple of them and fix a plate. I didn’t want to be around the annoying people so that meant I either ate outside or bounced to the basement. She has a big screen TV in the basement so that’s where I went. I pretty much had it all to myself for an hour. Then that peace and quiet was pretty much ruined. I watched the end of the first half of game three of the NBA Eastern Finals. By half-time I was ready to be home. I had to get away from the people, the noise, and the chaos. I just couldn’t take any more. It was kind of disappointing but that’s the way the cookie crumbles sometimes. I guess the next major family day is the 4th of July. I’m not sure if I’m going to hang out at my sisters or just go see Transformers and call it a day. I’m leaning towards Transformers.
Monday, I did absolutely nothing and enjoyed it.
@ Ladynay – BBQ is how we remember our servicemen. Okay, you kind of have a point there.
Well, you’re better than me. I don’t host or grill. Then again there’s really no place I can grill here even if I wanted to so I guess it all works out.
@ Southern Gal – Very good then my job is done. BWAHAHAHAHA!!! I want one too. 🙁
When she first came out I could’ve bought that but Mary hasn’t been an around the way girl in over a decade.
Yeah, there is a He-Man movie in the works, Speed Racer, Battle of the Planets/G-Force, and a G.I. Joe movie in the works. I can’t wait. 🙂
@ Luke Cage – Sounds like you had fun on Memorial Day. As far as I’m concerned if you don’t have to unbutton your pants at least once on Memorial Day then you’re not doing it right.
Decepticons forever!!!
Whattup Freakyyy??? Glad that you had an enjoyable Memorial Day man! We had a barbeque at the house as well and the cool thing was my brother and his wife and kids came down, and then my older sister came down with her son and daughter as well. It was the best Memorial Day I’ve had in a looong time. I wasn’t with having lots of family down in Va for the weekend, as I was really looking to relax and not entertain, but it turned out to be a very great holiday! Go Transformers!!!
There is nothing like a BBQ hamburger. Now I’m hungry!
Alot of females like Mary because they can relate to her. Plus when she first came out, she was your typical around the way girl.
I plan on seeing Transformers. Loved the cartoon. I read they are thinking about making a He-Man movie.
Well at least you got to do something halfway traditional to the holiday even though I don’t know what Que’n has to do with remembering our servicemen but whatever. It was just another day for me. *shrug*
I am not a hostess but I am still teaching myself my way around a grill 🙂
@ blackmamba – Nope, not really. It’s just too much time, effort, and trouble to grill something I can fry or broil quicker. Besides I don’t really entertain like that so I have no real need to BBQ.
I would’ve sent him and his little dog packing after that demand.
I’ve never been a Mary fan either. She sounds like a confused crack head always singing about no more drama and yet her life is almost always full of it. I used to mock derisively mock one of her earlier albums because every song basically had the same music. I think her music sucks.
@ Sheree – LOL @ the 4th of July threat. I’ll be watching the news for you. =)) It sucks when the food/party people switch up the routine on you.
@ Genesis – I think a lot of people did it on Sunday. Considering all of the cooking and stuff involved you kind of need to use the next day as a holiday from the holiday.
I’m not sure I like the designs for the robots (some of them just look too foreign to me) but the transformers was definitely one of my must see cartoons as a kid. Hopefully it won’t suck or disappoint like most of the “blockbusters” I’ve seen this year.
my BBQ was cool. We had it on Sunday as well…so we can REALLY have monday off. i was the only young adult there, but it was still cool. im going to see the transformers. im not even a fan, i just heard that shia labouf was going to be in it, so now i GOTTA see it.
I’m so pissed I didn’t get any BBQ this weekend, my best friend and her husband usually throws down on the grill but this time they went over someone else’s house so I pretty much didn’t do anything this weekend, well on Monday I went to Friday’s with my friend but I would’ve rather been at a BBQ, I know on the 4th of July some damn body better be cooking, lol.
You don’t BBQ? That is one (of many) tasks I refuse to learn…if D wants meat, he can BBQ them bastards. I’ll make the salad and leave that for the man to do. :d
That’s a good one! People have an expiration date… I think I’ll use it at the next BBQ I attend…
Are you serious? That kid actually expected the home/petowners to lock up their dogs because he brought a dog??? Get real! Had he been at my house I woulda laughed in his face! Puhlease.
I’v never been a big Mary J fan, but she has a couple songs I do like. Friends of mine have most of her albums and I really don’t know why, most of her stuff sounds the same. Whine whine, sob sob, whine whine…but that’s most of the industry nowadays, so I guess I should get used to it, huh? Blah…
