I tried....
So for preparation of Fat Tuesday I took my nap as required. Supposedly I was ready to go. Then the realization that my Father needs to burn $200 Can $'s in credits at the Niagara Fallsview Casino Resort. After waking up around 6ish I head out and lure him away from the craps table to consume some good Chinese food at 17 Noir downstairs. In between the casino floor and the restaurant the thought that concert tickets would be a wise use of comp points. So he asked me what I found interesting. Looking for something soon I ended up choosing to see "The Commitments." I remember seeing the film when I was in high school and yes they are the same guys from the movie on tour. Anyone want to join me? I have 1 ticket out of 2. Finally we ended up dining on a bowl of Won Ton, Beef and Chinese Broccoli and Lobster, almost using up the total balance.

I apologize to (e:Lady) Croft I did see you called but I was in ROAM at the time.

Then I ended up trying to meet up with the estrip group. After finding a parking spot on Forest I tried to look in Goodbar and Coles but to no avail. Coles is just too claustrophobic for my taste sometimes as it is impossible to maneuver with that oak wall. By the time I was on the sidewalk I got a phone call from my old friend Peter and was called for a quick conference.

About 11 we was free and tried Nietzsche's, looking for the group. No luck, I tried the Old Pink and Hardware. At Hardware I enjoyed a PBR and called it a Fat Tuesday, as I need to be at work in about 6 hours.

With Lent now underway the thought of my Old Catholic upbringing comes to mind. What am I going to sacrifice for 40 days? Usually it was something that I never bothered to do or did not like. A good example would be Sex if one did not have a significant other. It's just that your current situation is calling for a situation that you are giving up something you never had in the first place.

The real sacrifice is giving it up when you are in a relationship. The real suffering in dealing with the fallout of being a martyr in denying you partner something that she obviously was not consulted in going without. 40 days...would it be a week or two before one found themselves single and in good shape to carry on their Lenten sacrifice until Easter Sunday? There was a time when I was so Catholic I would be a total religious asshat and give up a relationship for Catholic Guilt. This would actually be a good idea when I delusional thought it would be a good idea to be a priest. Thank some kind of higher power that I began my Recovery from that Religion.

OK it is very late.

I now have a presence here
Category: inagural
Yes, I am finally getting sick of LJ. Well not totally but like Theecarey I will still keep my blog going over there, probably more so than she does now.

For the past two weeks now I have just been lounging around at home not really going out as I have been known to. The hook to my user name is that I have seen Pulp Fiction on late night cable movie channels, usually on a Saturday Night. My last name is Vincent so I figured, Hey why not spin off Vincent Vega? Go UC Santa Cruz Slugs!

The sad part is I do not own the DVD

serious relationships on the mind
Category: love & relationships
Last night was quite the nice whlesome night. For some reason I started wearing my favorite ring again. I don't think I have worn a ring in months. Just out of the blue I just decided to wear it on the "matrimony" finger. Then I get a text from (e:Carolinian) asking if I'm up for anything tonight. I say Yes since last night was the only window that I'm going to be able to do anything until Thursday since I'm working 8 days straight.

Well he has his S.O. Nicky up from N.C. and I decided to take them out on ALlen last night. They looked so cute in the photo booth @ Frizzy's :-) I then suggested that we head down to Coulter for some quiet conversation, but instead they had to listen to me sing all of the words to NIN's "Sin!" Now how did that song get played @ Coulter Bay? The nightcap was down @ Hardware as I had to pay my bartender Scott a visit since I have't been out for ages.

I did notice that the former Jupiter Room is now open as a bar once again. I'll have to check it out sometime. Also the building next door to Hardware is for sale. The fascade of it just looks like it would make an excellent low-grade italian resturant selling cheap wine from a box. SOrry I don't know where I get that imagery from...

Anyway it was good to see a nice cute couple have a nice evening out. It really makes me wish that I was once again in a serious relationship. Maybe eHarmony isn't that bad after all, since it looks like you two are a really good match.

OK. off to work :-/
