The best birthday I can ever remember having..(wonderful dissent) [View All]

Yesterday was my birthday.. My SO and I decided to go out to eat, and he took me to Red Lobster.. (Spare me, I know it isn't good for me, but I loves me some lobster, and I only eat it on my b-day..) We got there in the middle of the Sat. night rush, and we had to wait for half an hour at the bar.. We go in and sit down, and order drinks.. The couple to the left of us has had a couple, (talking loudly and semi- slurred speech) and are ordering more. The guy had been drinking the House Merlot, and the bartender told him if you like this drink, than you would love our special merlot (can't remember the exact name the bartender gave) that is only 2 dollars more a glass.. The guy says loudly enough for everyone in the bar to hear.. "I can't afford the fancy stuff, I can barely afford my gas everyday thanks to Herr Bush.." Everyone that was seated around the bar started to clap, and some even cheered.. (I live in one of the reddest areas of Florida.) That was all it took.. Everyone around the bar started talking about gas prices, and other bitches they had about the Bush administration..

I never said a word, I just sat there with my SO drinking my martini listening to the wonderful dissent all around me.. No one disagreed about anything, and people just kept bringing up complaint after complaint almost like children trying to one up each other.. Dinner and drinks at Red Lobster.. 105.22 + tips.. The feeling that our country isn't completely lost afterall..
priceless..
