"A MUCH NEEDED FACELIFT"

I got in a while ago and looking at the blog-I felt that it was time for a bit of a change. Spring is here, and when spring comes, what happens? You do a bit of spring cleaning. So this is my way of changing things up a bit for the spring. Plus I was getting a bit tired of dots..... It happens.

It was a weird night at the bar for yours truly; not quite sure why. Must have been something in the beer. The night itself was pretty uneventful; wasn't overly crowded, yet steady enough to keep one on his toes. I ran into an old friend that I hadn't seen in about four-five months; she recently had hip surgery and recovered from it pretty well. I always enjoy hanging out w/her for a number of reasons. We met at the bar a couple of years ago- she'd wandered in off the street and if memory serves me correct, she was sitting at the bar alone, reading a book (who reads a book at the bar? I still give her crap about it to this day). I'm not sure what made me strike up a conversation with her, but I did and we hit it off right away. We've been good friends ever since. She's a jewelry designer (a pretty damn good one at that); and she's Canadian. I've always had an affinity for Canadian chicks-not sure why. In any case, it was good to see her after all these months.

While chatting away with my Canadian comrade, I began to notice a few young ladies were getting a bit tipsy and began bouncing around the bar. In-out-in-out, these girls couldn't make up their minds whether or not they wanted to stay inside or go outside. Pains in the ass. One in particular, seemed to want to catch the SwanFather's attention-at all costs. Now if you want to talk to me, then talk to me. I don't mind a conversation. But when you are tugging at my arm every two seconds, jabbing at me while i'm talking to someone else and wanting to give me pecks on the cheek every two minutes-then it gets annoying and there's nothing worse than to annoy me at work. Normally the attention would be flattering. Don't get me wrong -for those of you in the know, I am about as mild-mannered as they come. To annoy me would take a lot and this person was coming pretty close to doing just that. I don't think they realize that they were doing it so i'm going to attribute it to the alcohol and leave it at that. It's one of the hazzards of the job, I guess.

It also came to the SwanFather's attention that our barback extrodinaire Running Man, does get his share of attention from the ladies. I always knew that the kid was a stud in the making, however, the number of times women comment on his looks on a week to week basis astounds me. Quite frankly, if the kid wasn't so devoted to his girlfriend, he'd be the man, hands down. I give the kid a lot of credit for being faithful.

You are probably wondering why I'm writing at this time of the morning; to be honest, I'm not sure. The more pressing question I have on my mind is: Why am I getting google ad links for Lindsey Lohan? I like redheads and all, but damn.... That's it. I'm going to bed. Catch everyone in the morning.
