Well... I don't feel any older! I am continuing on this road called "life" and 22 definitely feels no different from 21. I don't think it is supposed to feel different... the difference is gradual, and I think that is the only way we can handle aging. I had a wonderful birthday surrounded by friends and family :) I could not be happier!
I haven't been working at good ol' Parkside for the last five days... so there are no crazy stories to tell, but I have to say, I miss working. I need to go back to the crazies who make me feel so sane. They make me feel like I have it all together in my life... Even though I really don't.
The Fourth of July was amazing! The fireworks, the patriotism, and the partying really make you feel like an American. That is one thing that I do know for sure, Americans know how to have a good time, and we take full advantage of a good time when it slaps us in the face! I feel unity on July 4th which is an amazing feeling! I can not wait for it to roll around next year... especially because along with the 4th comes my birthday! Another year, no different I am sure from any of the others I have lived so far...

What Am I Going to Do?
I have thought long and hard about what graduation will bring to my life. What kind of changes will come with it? And more importantly... What am I going to do?
I honestly do not know. I do not know what job I will have, what people I will stay in touch with, who I won't, or if I will be happy. This is a pressing concern of mine. I hope all ends well, because I do not want to have another crisis like I had the first year here at UT. I do not like change, and the first year at UT was definitely a change! Oh well, I have to remember that the only thing that stays the same is change.
I have until May, 2012 to figure out what the hell I am going to "do" with my life. That is plenty of time, right? haha NO!!! Why do we have to decide what we are going to do with the rest of our lives when we are only 21? I am not ready, but I am being forced so I have to step up to the challenge, and I hope I can.
I'll leave you with this...
""Welcome to the "real" world", she said to me condescendingly." Welcome, Katy! It'll happen soon...

My Bar and All Its Quirks...
Again, I have been working and going to school... the usual. However, I am about to approach the best week ever, which includes my birthday and some time off :) YAY!!!!! Should be amazing!
I wanted to write today about my bar and give you all the email to Parkside Grill so you can get on and see what it looks like. If you have never been to my restaurant, then this visual should help. I have had some drunks in of course, but the real big scenario happening right now that chaps my ass is infidelity...
What the hell guys? If you are married, you can NOT go around having sex with every random woman/man you meet in a bar. Control yourselves. There are several different kinds of cheaters and I will explain them now. There is the out-in-the-open cheater who wears their wedding ring and is also very obvious about his/her intentions. I can not stand cheaters but if you're going to cheat, I would rather you be this "obvious" cheater type. Then, there is the silent cheater. The person who does not wear a wedding ring and also makes no mention of being married at all. They also do not make their intentions completely known by sneaking out of the bar to meet a woman/man in the parking lot after sitting right next to eachother at the bar the whole time. (We know what you're doing by the way) And of course, there is every woman or man that happens to fall in between these two groups of cheaters by displaying characteristics from both of them.
Stop it people! Marriage already has a significant chance of failure without you going out and getting your hanky panky on with some random person. Take it from me... it NEVER ends well! I see too many of my regulars getting divorces or screamed at constantly. Anyways, back to seeing my bar... here is the website! Hope you enjoy it! Until next time...stay tuned...

Why Can't People Control Themselves?
Work, work, work. It's all I ever seem to do. I don't hate it, but it is sometimes exhausting. It's only exhausting because people feel the need to tell me their whole life story after they consume 3 or 4 drinks (sometimes more). Don't get me wrong, I love bartending; however, it does try my patience sometimes. It is a great occupation for many reasons... money, friends, and the overall knowledge you gain from it. But... it chaps my ass when I have to carry someone out or cut a drunken idiot off because he is licking other guests.
Let's refer to an example from about a month ago. I'm working in the morning and a woman who was there the night before walks up to my bar. She is wearing the same outfit from the night before and also looks like she has been attacked/raped by about a dozen monkeys. Let's just say she was looking ROUGH! Anyway, she orders vodka and cranberry doubles. I don't think anything of it until she is on her fourth vodka and cranberry double in about two hours time. She is wasted at 1:00 in the afternoon. She starts slobbering all over herself and the bar. I go to get my manager who then calls a cab for her. I then have to carry her out into the cab and to my and my manager's suprise her legs spread as she is getting into the car to reveal a bare vaginal viewing for the both of us. How lovely.
No, not so lovely. I walked back into the restaurant to find slobber all over my own hands. What the hell is wrong with people? I mean, I know people have issues, but this is just too much. I see this happen to someone (not too this extent) all the time. Why can't people control themselves? I have seriously began to lose faith in the human race. Come on people! If you have had 4 double vodka and cranberrys by 1:00 in the afternoon, you need to get ahold of yourself and quit it! Take control of your life!
There's my tangent for the day... sorry if it offended any of you, but if you fall into this category, you needed to hear it anyway. I'm going to keep bartending and keep posting my ridiculous, but sometimes great stories for your enjoyment. Stay tuned...
P.S. Here is a little youtube video that pretty much sums up how I feel about bartending sometimes... you should enjoy it :)
