Dallitude
this past weekend, i invited hector, andy, and kahl to dallas with me to spend the weekend exploring the city and staying at my parents' house while they were away. it was overall a pretty fun, despite brief trip. we started easily enough friday after work and left right on time. unfortunately despite utilizing the HOV and saving some time with traffic, there apparently was still traffic beyond the HOV lane, almost 30 miles outside of Houston... i guess a lot of people were going out of town for the weekend. anyways, we decided to just have dinner as oppose to sit in traffic.
.
although not as raucous as the prior weekend's PF Chang's dinner, we still managed to have lots of fun over a Chili's dinner. after eating we then started the rest of the three hour drive, or more precisely, i started the rest of the three hour drive. i mean, i'm sure they would not have minded driving, but i figured i'd do it, being my car and all. we finally got into princeton, tx around 1 AM, milled about and slept about 2 AM.
.
the next day i had an early meeting with a guy trying to do some business with my folks, so i met with him, listened to his shpill and also went to look at some property... fun fun fun. the boys meanwhile, had breakfast and milled about best buy. when i was done, we drove into dallas and had our first stop in town, that is the JFK assasination museum. it was interesting indeed and seeing the site of such a pivotal moment in american history was sort of eerie as well. after the museum we headed to what is known as oaklawn.. or the gayborhood. we browsed some "gayish" stores, soaked in the gay "dallitude" and had a late lunch at "hunky's"... the gayest burger joint you've ever been to... haha. because of the little sleep from the night before, i for one was conking out so we drove back home (decided to ditch a plan to go to a drive in theatre) and took a nap.
.
a few hours later we gussied ourselves up and drove back to oaklawn to go experience the dallas version or JR's and funny enough... Mining Company as well... an exact pairing as in Houston.. must be indeed a franchise. JRs was good for some drinks and just general people-watcing... saw lots of cuties funn enough and had some heart to heart with Andy about my ex Ron.. nothing too heavy, just some girl talk. after JRs then we mozied to Mining Company which actually was decorated in the theme of a mine... it was cute. it was a psuedo dance club and after a drink, me and andy went to shake our asses while the more butchy ones, hector and kahl, stood around and looked tough... haha. after enough dancing, we hung out on an outdoor balcony, which we soon realized was like the runway for the night's "sidewalk sale". of late, i've been attracting some seriously fugly people and i'm really begginning to wonder if i'm giving us a "come fuck me, i'm super easy and un-discerning" vibe or what... because i swear... not that i'm anywhere a hot guy.. but still... some seriously old or seriously un-attractive people have been coming up to me of late when i go out. now don't get me wrong, its really not that they are just ugly... its that they are SKETCHY too... i mean, they are either like 60 or they are unattractive and they use the nasty stare you down or come and try to surreptitiously brush up against you tactic... it's superbly disturbing.
.
god, i am not being too demanding am i? why can't an average looking guy come up to me and just say hello or some scantily disguised version of a pick-up line? seriously.
.
after our gay night out, we bid our farewells to Oaklawn, and went back to mckinney making a 3 AM stop at our favorite restaurant apparently... whataburger. haha, an hour and 1000 calories later, we left and drove on home. i eventually got to sleep around 5:30 that morning since i made the stupid choice of calling mom, which of late has entailed every time a litany of things she needs me to do for her while she is gone. oh..... oh well.
.
sunday wasn't much but a brunch at IHOP where we learned that andy and kahl are entertaining moving to canada and building their home.... it would be sad to see them go but oh well... such is life. after brunch, adding gas, and checking the tire pressure (i do know somethings about a car haha), i drove back home... kept awake by various conversations from mostly kahl and hector... andy just slepted haha. the evening ended relatievely uneventful, watching a DVD and tidying up odds and ends.
.
looking forward to next weekend and my NYC trip. big apple here i come.
