it was a great job except I was living bar hours and was a coke fiend. I blew a hell of a lot of money and eventually lost my job because someone (who wanted my job and I thought was a friend) told the owner I was selling thousands of dollars worth of coke outta the basement bar every week. There was a miscommunication between the owner and I and i thought we were talking about me using on my personal time but he was talking about me dealing and wham bam lost my job. Yeah Im in my last semester of college and getting a degree in political science with a minor in history. I really want to teach, cuz I've got a sweet summer job lined up as well as summers are concert season. Most importantly though I love working with young adults. But if I get a real sweet job offer in the corporate world which my dad is trying to make me do where I could make an assload of cash I might do that for a couple of years. But passion has always superseded money for me.
I've considered it. I used to sit around and blow lines all night come up with great bar and/or strip club ideas. But at this stage in my life it does provide what I want from life. Plus I figured if i owned a strip club, I'd be rampant with STDs and coke (i guess it wouldn't be all that bad)
Yea, it looks as though teaching is what you really want to do, and it is great that you are pursuing your passion.
i dunno....being an vd riddled cokefiend sounds lousy to me....never been to a strip place, but i see the appeal. it just seems that, so long as its a legitimate joint, i'd end up leaving MORE frustrated than i was when entering the place, as well as a lot more broke. if it werent legit, then id be less frustrated and WAY more poor, and i'd fear for my health.....if i were to do something of that nature, i'd rather do it somewhere prostitution is legal and the legit working girls get regular mandated checkups and health and safety is a high priority. for the record, i love fish but hate shellfish as a general rule. nothing without an endoskeleton usually enters my mouth during gustation. however, these conch fritters are damn good. i envisioned them to be just fried meat, but at least here in key west (i'm on vacation if you were unaware) they are more like hushpuppies with little tidbits of cut up conch tossed in to add the flavor without so nasty a texture as i'd envision they normally have as plain meat. served piping hot with some cocktail sauce, throw in a few yuenglings and maybe some dolphin bites and you're all set for a nice but unhealthy afternoon! if only i was able to bring weed with me on the plane, but i was too chicken, and i could probably have found some here but was with my family and blah blah blah....long story short i've just smoked a lot of cigars and had more than a couple drinks. i've had a great vacation but gone broke a bit and am a little bit anxious to just go home, smoke the pot thats waiting for me, get back to work and rebuilding my depleted bank account, and move into my new place. it was a great week, but i'm ready to go back. not so ready to leave as to get back to real life - i just wish real life for me was down here!
hmm, in the time it took to write my last post a couple other posts were made. the beginning was re: I've considered it. I used to sit around and blow lines all night come up with great bar and/or strip club ideas. But at this stage in my life it does provide what I want from life. Plus I figured if i owned a strip club, I'd be rampant with STDs and coke (i guess it wouldn't be all that bad)
the thing I enjoy about the strip clubs is not so much the actual stripping, but the social aspect of kicking back with the guys having a nice cigar and a fine drink. Your description of conch fritters is accurate with how I've experienced. I jsut didn't know how to put them into words since its been 2 years since i've been down that way.
i can understand that, but if it were me i'd prefer hanging out with my friends somewhere we could smoke a joint and THEN get to the fine drinks and cigars....fine scenery (so to speak) would just be a bonus.....plus a high percentage of my friends are chicks, and many of them straight or else uninterested in the same types of girls i might appreciate, and a strip club isnt the first choice of places to hang out. i'd figure that if you werent so keen on the stripping as the atmosphere, one could just go to a nice bar and spend less money for an equally enjoyable evening. but its not my money you're spending, and you know what you like so more power to ya. its just been a LONG time since i've gotten laid, and honestly going to a strip club would be just about a deathblow, assuming the ladies are even a little bit attractive to me. conch fritters...fucking delicious. still...i wish we had something like that in ohio, they'd be high on my list of munchies. get fucking ripped then go down to the cafe order some brews and some conch fritters...fucking perfect, i'm sure. oh well, i suppose i can always look up if theres a long john silvers or better yet a d's round my new appartment (unlikely) and hopefully it wont be so far away that if i wanna go grab some after smoking, they would be cold when i got home. next best thing.
captain d's serves conch fritters? wow. there was one about .5 mile from my apt in st louis. In 30 months I ate there zero times. well we used to get in free cover and free drinks and smokes at the strip clubs, so for underage kids without IDs it was perfect the first couple of years in college at the strip clubs. I haven't been to one in over a year which is a big adjustment from multiple times a week.
oh no no no....i must be tired/drunk. i meant to throw something in there about hushpuppies being the next best thing. thought i had. long john silvers and captain d's both serve hushpuppies, and captain d's hushpuppies are better but the stores are far less common where i live. plus if you eat anything more than a snack at either place, you get wicked shits in just a couple hours. something about eating an entire meal's worth of breaded, deep fried junk food...probably two of the greasiest fast food places i know. fried fish, french fries, and hushpuppies...delicious but deadly.... and they say fish is better for you than beef....places like long john silvers and captain d's take away any potential health benefits of choosing the fish.
haha yeah, I remember a buddy had the beer munchies one night and went to captain D's. I think he shat for a week straight. I love fish, but not fast food fish (except the mcdonalds fish filet)
yeah, but i still love me some hushpuppies, fast food or not. hell, i'd cook real food then go drive and pick up some hushpuppies for a side dish.... delicious. essentially like fried cornbread, really. who could ask for more?
I really wanna try captain D's now but the closet one is about a 45 minute drive from my house...maybe next time i visit my cousin he's about 20 minutes from it
For a guy's birthday i know through work we went to a sushi resturant and ate sushi off a naked chick laying on the table, it's a specialty thing offered in Vancouver by 1-2 different resturants, fuckin expensive though u dont get that much sushi and it was like 800$ for 7 people, which really isnt THAT bad, but i definatly wasnt satisfied with the amount of food
