Local bar scene
So, I really don't fit in here tonight. Most nights the railstation is a wierd/strange/interesting mixture of people. Mnay of them locals and regulars. Tonight has brought out all the people who can no longer stand sweating in their houses/apartments. Much like me, however, my little quite corner has been taken over by loud drunks. Now I realize that I am a loud drunk; but as Matt pointed out; these are drunk men. The kind of men I don't like. Or as Matt said "men". I think that they have stopped trying to get my attention. I do stand out being the only one at a bar typing away on a laptop; hey their the ones that installed wifi. At least I stopped working on my lecture and planning the labs for my TA's. Wow, now they are talking about strip clubs. One of them is here with his girl and her MOM!! I swear. The girlfriend (?) just complained that her man use to treat her like a stripper. Oh crap! There are so many other open tables why oh why did they have to sit next to me. No way! Drunk shaved bald biker is dancing to "ain't that a shame" (Don't know the artist). Thank god he stopped. Drunk 50 year old white man dancing to "seduce" his girl is making me rethink being here. Usually the crowd is a cool mix of bikers, locals, artists, roughnecks, bluecollar workers and youngins the retired; and many different races/ethnicities. Poor whites are winning tonight. As an ex (?) poor white I'm uncomfortable. I see that I'm not the only one noticing the 'table" next to me. Sly looks are being shot in the direction of the undoubtable loudest table. Oh wow. Now they are trying to figure out how they will get another round. I'm not kidding. They are talking so loud we could take up a collection for them. 20 bucks is money to burn. Ok, they just paid in change; I've been there, but making a loud joke to the waitress might be tacky. I have to stop with the racist jokes. OH HELL NO!!! The white dude just said something about hanging with the NEGROES! Buster had to leave after that comment. Didn't say anything just got up and left. Is it worse that their is a dark haired, dark skinned young man sitting at their table? The Negro comments seemed to be directed at him. I'd assume this young guy is Black. White dude thinks he's something cause he went to a school that has a High population of African-American students. White dude "was" a racist. Must end this..... no good can come of this entry. No good at all. Plus I'm bound to get caught. Oh crap. A drug deal is going down right in front of me. They think I can't hear or see them. I must really seem innocent to these people. Oh, now they are discussing going to another corner. Have I been caught? Or are they rightly paranoid? What are they selling? Things are getting crazy. Should I mention that this is the bar that had two windows smashed out because of bar fights? Now May be the time to play the blend in card. I think a laptop gives people the wrong impression. Or maybe the right impression. Either way I need a new impression. But, without the laptop these guys that are swarming are going to close in. I guess I'll pull out the textbook or maybe the newspaper. Later.
