This Rounds On Me!

Ahh nothing like enjoying one’s self at a good ol bar. The people, the atmosphere, and yes the conversations. Whether it’s a conversation about what drink your having, to the convo consisting of why your significant other is such a B****, the bar has it all. First thing I want to comment about is that last Tuesday we talked about how only sports play at bars….well I went to the Library on The Hill last night and the Real World-Road Rules Gauntlet was on…not even kidding. Either way the bar has always been a place to take your hat off and come over unannounced, the type of place a stranger can quickly become your long lost brother. The best time to be at a bar is if a not typical, large group either from a wedding or a bus trip stop in because they have stories that you’ve probably never and will never want to hear again. The bar has always had a sense of equal ness and everybody there at that moment isn’t better than anyone else. The times are definitely changing and now when people talk about going to a bar it consist of taking two hours to get ready, the music at the bar is not background music (it’s the type that makes me lick ears to get a point across), and not getting a bar stool consists of dealing with a chick that thinks she’s way hotter than she really is. Nate said it best with “I don’t need a skanky Eskimo bartender to have a good time.” Those types of girls aren’t interesting; give me a toothless bartender with a bruised eye…now she’s got a story! TV are located in every bar these days but the true old school bars (with PBR in bottles and Old Mil on tap) definitely stick to their roots and either have it on mute or behind the bar. TV hasn’t done anything bad for bars, it probably brings in a broader audience and gives the loners (who are alcoholics) something to look at and not look so…alcoholic…
