San Diego Love and other random stuff

San Diego really is America's Finest City. Sure, it has its downsides, the cost of living is incredibly high, there are a lot of really shallow people, etc. But where else can you get weather like we have had year round? There have been some cloudy days lately, but can we really complain, its still not very cold, and for every cloudy day we have, we get 4 days full of sun. And in San Diego there is always something fun to do and some cool place to be. For me on Saturday is was at Cass St Bar and Grill (yes, a place I do spend a lot of time at, but not as much lately). Ben and I headed over there around 5, and thanks to wonderful daylight savings, we had a good two hours of sunshine left. With Cass being open like it is, it made the absolute perfect place to spend the last couple hours of daylight, playing pool, drinking cheap pitchers ($7 for Red Hook IPA), listening to good music (Ben and I dominated the jukebox), and just enjoying good conversation and a good time. There is nothing quite like a few beers near or on the beach to get a good night started off. Its times like that I never want to leave San Diego because Id have to be crazy to want anything more. Its also times like that I understand why so many people live in the PB or Mission Beach area and work low end jobs, making just enough to live, drink, and chill on the beach (although Im sure most of them get help from Mommy and Daddy). But I just understand it, I dont want it for myself, I like to have goals that go beyond "get drunk with friends at beach."
Anyway, Saturday night ended up being an incredibly random night, hanging out at lots of different places with lots of different people. The only real highlight (or lowlight, if you wish) was running into this girl I went on one date with about a month ago and then never heard from again. I thought that we had had a really good time when we went out, so I wasnt sure what happened, but I found out. When I ran into her, she wouldnt even say hi, she just gave me a cold look and that was all. I got the hint. Obviously I was really bugged by this, I had no idea why she would act this way toward me, for all I knew I had done nothing wrong. This eventually prompted me to send her a myspace message asking what was up. Well it turns out she was absolutely repulsed by my personality and had no problem sharing that with me once I had asked. I know that I can rub some people the wrong way, I just have that kind of personality, but I thought for sure I hadnt done this to her, after all, I thought we'd had a good date. Apparently at some points during the "date" (I put it like this because we just hung out at a few bars, not really a date), I mentioned that I like to act cocky and believe that I am the shit and also I must have made fun of some group of people or as she put it "hate" on others. Now, if you know me at all, you shouldnt be surprised by this whatsoever. Of course I did these things, thats what I do. But you should also know that I am not really like that. When it comes down to it I am a really nice, genuine person. I may act cocky at bars because it is fun and I dont care what people think of me there, I am actually somewhat humble. I suppose what bugged me the most was the she judged me as someone she "couldnt respect." I probably have should have used better judgement on the things I said around someone who didnt know me at all, but she still jumped to a huge conclusion and decided to hate me. I dont think I have ever met anyone who disliked me as much as she apparently does. Like I said, I have a strange sense of humor and tend to say stupid things, but I feel like the good in me always shines through and that I am a generally likeable person. But I guess not to everyone. In the end it is pretty funny.
On a few other notes, I have been talking to Carley a lot lately, and it makes me really happy that she and I can still be friends after all we have been through. I really do enjoy talking to her. I wish I could have that kind of relationship with more of my exes. I sent some random text messages to Morgan on Saturday night, but they were harmless and she actually responded promptly, that really surprised me. Anyway, Ive been sitting in front of this computer for a few hours now writing about the pathophysiology of different diseases and need to get up for a bit.
