St. Patty's 2010

In the history of St. Patrick's Day which is my thrid favourite holiday next to Christmas and New Years, I would say the one from yesterday was one of the worst. The one from 2008 still takes the cake as the worst.

I let a new friend of mine fix me up on a blind date with this guy. I should have put it off for some other day but I agreed to have it on St. Paddy's Day. I thought maybe we could all go to some Irish pub and knowck a few down make fond of the people in Leprechaun costumes, wear our green and just laugh. Which if you are counting is my ideal first date or any date for that matter. Can you do these things with me, yes, then we instantly have a lot in common.

Then, maybe we can work on other more serious stuff like financial security, respect for family, etc.

However, this was a total fail. I should have known I was in deep do-do when I walked out of the gym and the pub in front of the gym had a crowd and a noticeable loud music that I had to walk away from in hopes of reuniting with them in some form or fashion at another pub later that evening.

When I met him I instantly knew it was a waste of time. No spark. But let us conitnue. They had no idea it was St. Patrick's Day. We still continued. They didn't feel like doing a pub, my friend wanted to go to Johnny's Hideaway, I had to dissuade her. Then, when I thought, it's okay we can still salvage this evening, the last two strikes happened. He does not believe in God. Yes, an actual atheist. Not wanting to continue, deal breaker. Then, to try and shake that off, I suggested hitting up some pubs to celebrate what's left of my St. Paddy's day and he said no, that he had to go home to his mother. This is a grown-ass man. What are you 12? Does she know you are an atheist? Because I think that is a little more serious than keeping a late night on a week night. So I went home, reluctantly gave him my number and flagged his number when he called me that evening as a nmber not to answer.

Yes, I intend to have some sort of St. Paddy's day do-over today.
