April 3rd, 2005 Hella Windy
It was hella windy at the pier on Saturday, but it was so very cool to get out and spend the weekend with W. :heartbeat: We went out to the Third Street Promenade and did some walking around. After that, we headed out for the pier to see what was going on over there. There was a $3.00 all day golf on the pier that all the little kids play in. But it seemed so dirty, since it was on the pier, and it doesnt seem like the pier area is kept up very much…all kinds of trash everywhere. It’s not like it used to be when my dad used to take me and my mom. It’s more advanced now, with all the rides and everything, but in the same respects….more run down… :thumbsdown: I made the mistake of drinking a WHOLE bunch of water before we left…so by the time we got down to the pier, I had to use the restroom…But even THAT took some talent. When i walked in…it smelled to HOLY HIGH HEAVEN and there were two people in front of me. We were waiting for three occupied stalls, one of which was being used by a 4 year old, whose mother was holding her door. I have to say…URGH. As soon as the little girl was done, she came out diggin in her butt with her panties down…I would have RAN for the door at that point, but the little girl had already beat me to the knob…*with her hand….:mad:*, and i had to use the restroom really bad. Meanwhile, the little girl…we’ll call her Suzy…was ignoring her mother, who kept shouting, “did you wash your hands, honey?”, knowing doggone well that the little girl had not even VENTURED near the sink. By then the two girls who were in front of me, were occupying stalls and my turn was next. The little girl’s mother turned to me and said, “this one is free”. :wtf: Over my water filled body!! :wtf: I said, “No….I think i’ll wait. Thanks.”
Anyhow, after my bathroom adventure, we headed back, taking in the sunset one last time. The tin man that W photographed was one of the coolest things out there..big black man, dressed in silver…makin a whole bunch of money…i un blame him…lol.
After we left the pier, we headed back to the car which we parked in the Santa Monica mall adjacent to the Third Street Promenade. We went through the mall so that I could stop at Hot Dog on a Stick and get my dad’s favorite lemonade. While standing in line, i notice this guy *early twenties*, carrying a Coach bag….:lol: Comedy…W laughed as I tried to get all different angles of this autrocity all the while being discreet. We quickly left after that as W’s sinuses started acting up due to the Korean Barbeque being cooked close by…pepper was horrid on the sinuses.
After we left Santa Monica, we headed home and relaxed for a minute before we decided to go to Claim Jumpers..:thumbsup:..I think I had one of the best conversations over dinner…allowed me to shed some of the things that I was concerned about…it helped remind me why i can’t wait to be with this man for the rest of my life. :heart:…..a free drink, and free piece of chocolate cake packaged up and ready to go….i was set for the night.
This morning, i woke up and set out to discover the difference between the two Bally’s that reside in Northridge. The one that I went to last week, was kinda low key, rather small, rather homey. So i decide to hit the one that was about 2 miles further up the same road. When i pulled up, i could tell this was gonna be something extravagant based on the cars that were parked outside. While this gym was more upscale, and for the “older” generation if you will…it was lacking my favorite machine…The Precor. :thumbsup:After walking around to see what else they had, I realized that it was much like the Bally’s in Hollywood…but with fewer machines that i liked..and more of the weight lifting kind, an Outdoor pool as opposed to an indoor pool…and a juicebar as opposed to a girl standing behind the counter pulling gatorades. I’d say that they were pretty equal in amenities, but the atmosphere was just….different. I left. I went back to my “kinda low key, rather small, rather homey” Bally’s closer to my weekend home. It’s more my speed…:soapbox:
Anyhow, i need to shower….but it was great sharing the experience with you. Think i’ll settle down and watch HBO on demand for a while before i fall asleep… I hope you all had a blessed weekend…and have a great Monday morning…
