Unfortunately, there are some negative moments from the preceding week. Monday the
19th I did nothing but Tuesday was quite eventful,
sometimes for the wrong reasons. On Tuesday I went and saw the Tampa
Bay Rays play against the Seattle Mariners; I figured the attendance
for the game would be minimal, and I was right. Attendance was
announced as only 7,000 and change, but there clearly were less than
that there. Talk about depressing, as Tampa actually has a nice
record and could make the playoffs. If the owners of the team decide
that they can never get a stadium in Tampa itself (the bugaboo they
always bring up) and just decide “the hell with this area!” and
move to Montreal or somewhere else... I'd be disappointed but I
wouldn't blame them.
Before
arriving at Tropicana Field I stopped at Grindhouse Video in Tampa to
purchase random movies. I had dinner at the stadium, which was
fine-enough, I suppose. The section I was in would have been fine...
except for some of the other people! A large party was close by
me-too close, as it turned out. The first two innings there were some
incredibly loud boneheads; I don't mean they were loudly cheering on
the team as of course that'd be fine with me. Rather, they just
talked way too loud and the drivel they were spitting out: insipid
does not even begin to describe it. They suddenly left and did not
return, so I thought I was in the clear and I did not have to move
somewhere else. Well, near the very end of the game, I realized
through their actions and incredibly rude behavior which showed how
inconsiderate they were as they obviously only thought about
themselves and no one else... I realized they were all awful
people-reprehensible reprobates, to use some alliteration. It would
take way too long to explain what exactly happened and plus, it
wasn't something said or done to me.
Oh yeah, I
never talked about the game itself. It had some excitement but Tampa
Bay lost 7-4 to an inferior team. Eh, it happens; don't tell that to
those aforementioned reprobates, though. Between that and the long
drive on this day, no wonder I am more content just staying in and
not having to deal with other people! At least Wednesday and Thursday
were uneventful, except for a trip to the local Carrabba's as I found
a coupon for the place that gave a nice discount for me and the
person I was with. Friday, I went and saw Ready or Not on the big
screen; I did not even know about it until like two months ago when I
started seeing unedited trailers for it before some movies I viewed
theatrically. This has gotten a lot of high praise so that's why I
saw it. It was more a “like” than “love” from me (as the
movie has some dumb moments and things I wish would have done
differently) yet at least it was fine and too many movies I saw on
the big screen in 2019 were mediocre to bad.
The only
thing I did this weekend was an airport trip... yes, again. I dropped
someone off at the Sanford Airport and on the way back I stopped at
the Denny's in Altamonte Springs. Not only did I hear a bunch of
songs from the 70's to 90's, but a young lady was talking to what I
presume was a boyfriend and what a conversation it was, mainly on her
part. Aside from telling this guy about her past sexual conquests
(no, really!) she mentioned that she was a sushi snob and complained
about people who love California Rolls as she thinks it's disgusting
so those that love them are n00bs, pretty much. What an amazing time
there.
When I return
on Labor Day, I know I will have some other experiences that will
hopefully be amazing.
