the weekend While I'm writing this I'm posting lyrics in a lyrics community I joined. wedensday night thru last night (saturday night) were pretty much alcohol induced nights. Wed was karaoke night at the chalet which i enjoy alot. Thursday night was $5.00 pitcher night (of any miller beer) and I decided to have some. 2 pitchers and 4 vcrs(Vodka cranberry juice and redbull, pint size) later. I left the chalet at closing time.
Made it into work on time friday morning(7 hours after bar time), did my job and then later, had acouple vodka and redbulls at the chalet before going to the showboat for karaoke. sang two songs(with apitcher of beer drunk in between) then left, it was pretty dead there so I went back to the chalet, had acouple more vodka/redbulls and a shot of jim beam black before calling it a night.
Saturday night...after I got out of work, went home changed clothes and started my night out at the chalet, it was UV Vodka night so my vodka/redbull deal was $4.00, so after having 4 of them,(cherry flavor, grape, lime and back to cherry again). I went tdown to the showboat.
as soon as I walked in, the door man said to me "Um, man, i have to tell you something". I said well, what. he told me "your girlfriend is in here with another guy". I took a deep breath and said, "We're nolonger together", and thanked him for telling me. I went and got my beer, sat at the same table I always sit at and there they were. I didn't let it stop why I was there. I went up, actually walked past them without saying a word, and filled out the card for what I was going to sing( Have you ever seen the rain by CCR, which is one of the usual songs I do).
i walked back and anita's "whatever" (ex, back to being the b/f, you figure it out), started mouthing off at me. he had more to drink than I did and I guess the liquid courage was making him feel like he was 10 feet tall and bullet proof. I turned around and went right to him, I said, "we tried this dance the other night and you know what the result was. same thing I said then I say again now, you wanna take it outside, man up, or shut up". He got up and was trying to talk trash but as he got up he staggered and fell to the floor. I looked at anita and said, "Nice choice you made". and went back to my table.
she tried to get him to leave but he was getting louder. the doorman and the owner I know came up because the idiot came over by me and I got to my feet, was ready to go at it. so they came and acouple other people I know came in and I just said, "He swings first, I'm gonna defend myself". He swung, missed everything and fell to the floor again. people just laughed at him. All I said was "he's her boyfriend now so talk to her". Needless to say he got up, swung on the doorman, who blovcked it, and took him right out the door. Anita left without saying a word to me.
I went up sang my song and I was fine. a guy who's a regular customer where I work came in, I never seen him there before, he runs what is the politically correct term? Gentleman's club that's up the road from where I work. hell, it's a fucking strip club, call it what you want but that's what it is. He and i usually just say "hi how you doin" when he's at the resteraunt, it sure the hell wasn't that when we were in the showboat. we shook hands and he wound up buying me drinks. we talked about the club he runs, their webpage (which sucks out loud), and where I work. I stayed there until almost 3 and went back to the chalet.
Of course, who's there? Anita and the idiot, why? Why does she bother to go to the places I go to? she never went to the chalet until after I started being with her. she knew I was gonna come back there, it's my home bar. is start there and finish there. Needless to say, as soon as I walked in he got out of the booth and came at me.
He got 4 steps when my best friend tim, al, bob and others came between us, they had heard this guy saying shit about me and Al told him I always come back here, my best friend tim had told him that he's never seen me back down from anyone that's tried shit in the chalet, but he had enough alcohol in him to think he knew better. The bartenders called the cops on him. they told me to just sit in my usual seat until the cops came. cops came and he was digging his own hole, I didn't have to say anything.
One of the cops knew me from always being in the chalet, he had me tell my side and i told the whole thing on how I was dating her, he's the ex, she decided to go back with him even though he beat her, etc etc. that he was thrown out of the showboat for trying shit with me. he asked if I wanted to press any charges. I could've for attempted assault and battery, had plenty of witnesses who all were willing to back me up. I said no...
Now I'm sure you're saying I should have. But you know what? Why bother? He made his own mess. He was arrested for drunk and disorderly so his buzz got killed, lol. Still, Anita didn't say a word to me. she had tears in her eyes when i said "This is the choice you made so it all comes back around on you". She turned and walked out and she probably posted his bail.
I stayed at the chalet til bar time, I went back to joking and laughing the moment the cops left and Tim and I shot pool. Then went into work today.
I bowl tomarrow night so that'll be cool as well. I'm gonna go back to posting lyrics.
