Today is Wednesday.. Giants Game 1 of NLCS. The prelude to my heart attack.. I'm going to probably hit up a bar and watch the game there with some buddies.. Today is definitely a "Boy's Night Out".. Speaking of Boy's Night's Out.. Let me just say that I've had some memorable ones just in the past year. Actually just last week.. I went out with my buddy, his friend, and my cousin. We did the normal bar hoppin' on a Thursday night.. from pub to pub.. and ended up at O'shea's - my former college hangout (avg. age 21)... We were all pretty embarassed to be there since the average age among us was 28 (except my cousin who still goes to college and felt right at home). Anyhow.. we're throwing down a few and all of a sudden my buddy sees this girl.... A brunette from heaven! An Elle Macpherson look alike.. Sitting by her lonesome self.. (now of course she could've easily been between 18 -with fake ID or 24, but she was hot regardless!) We all started to come up with our theories why she was not being approached.. Was she snobby? Did she come with her cockblocking friends? Did she have a sex change? What was it? It turns out.. none of that was going on..

We concluded that she was SO hot.. that she was intimidating to most guys.. After several looks at each other, she's was just waiting for my boy to approach her.. He's not your typical shy guy with no balls, but that night he needed a little encouragement even though he's a 6'4 whiteboy who has girls approach him alot.... Maybe he felt under pressure because we were watching.. But he wasn't his usual stud self.. He doesn't move until we give him the pep talk.. His friend (with a few drinks) says the quote of the night that can be used to any guy at anytime to get his no kahonas ass to make a move.. He says, "You are the best looking guy in this entire bar! Stop watching the paint dry and get your ASS over there pronto!" Funny thing was I believed it.. and so did my cousin.. My buddy would be our hero for the night!

So he proceeds that way as if he's wearing a freakin cape! Then all of a sudden.. he stops and stands a couple of feet from her.. After a few minutes.. we use hand gestures to get him to move closer yelling things like "IDIOT!" and DUMBASS! He continues to sip his brew while we stand afar waiting for him to blow it.. Then the inevitable happens... the goddess' friends come by and they all freakin' leave!!!!!!!.. We look at him in utter disappointment as if you just got a ticket and just missed the meter maid by 5 minutes! (happened to me today.. crap!) I didn't talk to him the rest of the night despite his apologies for DROPPING THE BALL (of course jokingly)..There's plenty of fish in the sea I suppose.. So we won't talk about it again.. But opportunity lost.. (even though he did talk to this other girl and got her number..she was the Goddess' ugly stepsister for all I care!) The eternal mission was aborted.. Oh well...Driving on the way home.. I ask him, "By the way, how's your girlfriend doing?"
