08/05/23

 Had to do some stuff on the app to get going again.  It has been awhile and some things had changed causing me to struggle a bit finding my way through the app.

Had a few people finishing up dinner and going home.  Those are always nice.  Had a trio that made me remember a time in my life when there really wasn't any direction in life and I didn't even know it.  It kind of bummed me out thinking about how empty their lives were and they didn't know it.  I wanted to criticize them and tell them life does not revolve around alcohol and weed but then I remembered when that was a big part of my free time.  Friends, fun and laughter is great and is healthy, so my mind was in a challenging place, and I was glad to unload them although I don't believe that they were bad people.  I know that I wasn't a bad person when I was at that stage in my life.

The app glitched a couple of times, throwing me off.  I was headed to pick up a female and drove past the entrance to the restaurant where I would be picking her up.  I was setting at the traffic light scanning my options for getting into the parking lot that was on the other side of the on-coming traffic lanes.  I flashed a quick glance in my rear-view mirror and saw that no one was behind me nor about to be behind me.  The street had a heavy incline that I was setting at, so, I popped the gearshift into neutral and coasted backwards until I could make the left turn into the restaurant driveway.  I am sure that the 2 cars in the other lane were calling me a dumbass, just like I would be calling someone if I had seen them do that.

At the restaurant, the rider was an attractive Latin female.  She walked over to get in the car with a bag from the restaurant and a beer.  When she spoke, I could tell that she was a smoker and that initiates a whole chain of thoughts about her and her life.  Interestingly enough, we headed to her destination, that she referred to as work, with a stop on the way.  The stop was at a lingerie type of store where she lit up a cigarette as she walked to the store, and the destination was a gentleman's club.  My chain of thoughts had been right on the money.  

Now, nothing I said here is negative or positive.  Those who read this and mentally label it as negative or positive and then want to criticize my thoughts, need to be reminded that it was labeled in their mind as negative or positive to justify their judgement of the comments in their mind.  Not mine.

The last trip was a load of typical young college age guys.  On their way to a bar, cursing, but polite when interacting with me.  They always want to play their music on my system when my phone is already hooked up and already playing music.  Then the music that they play is usually horrible.  When they got out of the car at Buford's, I hauled ass away from downtown as I was not in the mood for messing with drunks and it was getting close to 11:00 pm when the rides for people going home start trickling in.
