WHAT THE FRAK TO SAY??
No promises but let’s give this another sincere try.
The problem I have is that I don’t normally have anything interesting to write about. My life is basically work, TV and hockey. Sometimes work and hockey on TV. And I only watch one team – the Vancouver Canucks, in case you didn’t know.
I have multiple jobs and not a lot of hobbies. I use the Internet a lot. I read a lot of other blogs and have really wanted to keep one going. So far, hasn’t happened but we’ll see how this goes now.
Normally at this time of year I’d be finishing the shot glass design for the Hard Rock Cafe shot event. I’ve done one for the last 3 events – 6 official shots and 4 unofficial shots. However, I’m not doing one this year and this is due to me being opinionated... a little too much. The guy “running the show” doesn’t like me. Yeah, I know, hard to believe. Someone doesn’t love little moi? And it had nothing to do with the designs – they all sold well at the cafes – far better than most of the unimaginative one’s that HRC commissions, I might add. No, this guy didn’t like being told he’s an ass. Go figure.
I complained about his bad attitude at the last event. During the charity auction he continued to complain that we were taking too long to bid on things. Yeah. In front of the Charity group – which was in shock at some of the bidding (a few shots went above $200). We raised over $1500 at each of the TWO cafes – less than 25 people!! – and this ASS was complaining about it.

However, when I complained, I should have verified that the person receiving the complaint
wasn’t the Ass’s Best Friend in Corp. So much for people knowing who was who in Corp. So the email got to him and this year, well I’m out. But I’ll be at the next event and we’ll see what they come up with for the 2 shot glasses. If it’s anything like Las Vegas, well, it’ll be some half clad chick with a mountain scene. As usual, the guys see no problem with that, LOL.
Shot glass collecting is a crazy hobby. I only collect Hard Rock Cafe 4 inch shots and have A LOT. My last official count had me at 897. Closing in on ONE THOUSAND. And if that’s nuts to you, I know a lot of people that collect shots from anywhere!! I can’t do it – no room! And LittleMouse would kill me. Or make me move.
The hobby has a bonus - I've met a lot of great people and I get to see most of them once a year at a Hard Rock Cafe shot collectors event. This year it’ll be in Denver. Never been to Colorado so it feeds my travel bug.
Normally we go to 2 cafes in a weekend, but that’s changed this year unfortunately. So to counteract the Corp decision, a bunch of us are going to hit other cafes prior to Denver. I’ll be hitting Phoenix and Salt Lake City. What other reason would I have to go to Utah anyway?
So at the moment, this is what I'm looking forward too - a trip to stinking hot Phoenix, not sure what to do in SLC and too much drinking and food in Denver.
