I love Chinese food. I love it even more when my friends show up with my favorite dish and say, “Lets have dinner and hang out”. That shit is the bomb. You don’t get any better then that when it comes to friends, especially if they knew ahead of time that you were a little down. I was a little depressed, which is normal for this time of year. The winter blues tend to get everyone from time to time. Then my friends came over with take out from my favorite Chinese restaurant, The Koi buffet, and cheered me up.

Usually we go to the Koi to eat because they have absolutely the best buffet in town. It is not only Chinese, but Japanese as well. The sushi bar rocks, with so many kinds of sushi to choose from, you can get full just eating off of it. Then the hibachi grill which will cook whatever you want to order. The regular food bars have all the favorite classic Chinese dishes everyone loves and the price is economical for any budget. Last, but not least is the dessert bar that has a ton of Asian sweets you don’t normally find elsewhere. I thoroughly recommend you try it.

Well, I was at this restaurant with my family and this cocksucker at the table next to us was on his damn cellphone, just yelling and having a big fight with someone. He disrupted the entire restaurant with his tirade over some stupid assed shit. Apparently, he had some work done on his car and they took too long to do the work or something like that. He was waiting to get it back and they still weren’t finished with whatever he wanted done. Okay, dude. Let me explain to you that going off in a restaurant, in front of families with children and such, is not the way to handle your problems.

I really can only say that people just have no manners anymore. Just because you opened the door for your wife/girlfriend when you came into the restaurant doesn’t mean that you can now forgo acting properly for the duration of your time inside. There are other people trying to enjoy their dinners and and company of the people they are eating with. So if you get a phone call when you are out to eat, either don’t answer it or take it outside. have a little common courtesy for the rest of us.

Once of my Facebook friends has a restaurant downtown and its a little pricey, so I don’t go there. It’s more than the cost of the food. Its the drive downtown, the hassle of parking, the extra expense of gas and parking fees, and the time it takes to get there, eat and drive back. There has to be a special reason for me to want to do all that.

Maybe if he would start having songwriters come and sing, or highlight some local bands on the weekends, I would be more inclined to make the effort to go downtown and patronize his place.

But there are plenty of really good restaurants out here near my house, with free parking at the door and good food. So the downtown places are going to have to do something to make themselves special.

I’m hungry and need to cook up some dinner. I went to the grocery store on Monday and spent almost $200. So I have a lot of food in the house. The refrigerator is full, the freezer is full and the pantry shelves are full. But nothing looks good to me. All this food is boring and the same old thing. I think I am just getting sick of my own cooking.

The best thing about October is the fact that we have Halloween and get lots of candy. I have one serious sweet tooth. I remember my mother telling me that I would have rotten teeth if I didn’t stop eating so much candy as a kid. Well, my teeth are pretty good, despite all that candy. I guess I have good, strong genes for the tooth and bones that I enjoy.
