Conversation With A Douchebag

So last night I'm sitting at one end of the bar and a woman sits down to the right of me and a man joined her soon after.  I had just received my Eastchester burger and was ready to chow down.  As I took the first bight a conversation broke out that was pretty entertaining, if for now other reason than the guy turned out to be the most egotistical douchebag I've ever listened to.  No, the guy was not me.  Thanks though.  So for the dialogue, I will list the man as D, for douche bag and W for the woman. 

D: I can't believe you.  You obsess over everything. It doesn't even matter.  Nothing you ever get like this over matters.  I don't care.  Nobody cares.  It's stupid. 

W: OK, drop it.

D:  Oh now you're mad.  You're mad at me?  It's my fault?  OK, it's my fault.

The woman then spoke for about 30 seconds in a low voice which I couldn't pick up.  This gem followed.

D: Nobody in this town is as big as me.  I'm smarter, I'm better looking, I'm just the fucking man and you need to know that.  There is nobody like me in this town.

Right about now, I'm trying my hardest not to look at anyone else within earshot and thanking myself for not being drunk, because this guy would be getting so abused right now it would be horrible.

W: (mumbling) OK, It's fine, just stop.  (she goes to touch his hand).

D;  Don't you fucking touch me.  No, you don't get it.  You don't understand.

The woman says something and the man jumps back

D: Who told you that?

W:  You know who.

D: You still talk to that bitch.  You really are stupid.  I should smack you right across the face for being so fucking stupid.  You are so stupid.

Right about now, this guy is so lucky I was sober, it's not even funny.

W: (reaching to grab his hand, he pulls away again) Please stop.  I don't want to argue.

D;  You are a cupcake.  You're a fucking cupcake.  I thought you were a pit bull, but you are a cupcake (he says cupcake a few more times).  If you want to be with a pit bull, the pit bull.  You can't be a cupcake and you're a cupcake. 

W:  I'm sorry.  So how were the kids?

The douche bag goes into a 5-6 minute explanation of how HE cooked the kids dinner, except for one, because she makes her own sauce and he explains how it's good, but it sucks compared to his cooking.  I gathered from this monologue that the kids are not theirs, but his through another void-of-esteem woman.

D: You have to wise up.  You have to figure out how much I love you.  You don't even know how much I love you.  You don't get that kind of love, because you don't know.  I'm gonna prove it to you.  Don't you worry.  You won't know when it's coming, but I'm gonna prove it.  NO!  You have no idea.  You won't know.  You don't get it.  I'll prove it. 

Right about now, I'm thinking to myself "and I'm considered crazy?"  A couple comes in and sees the woman sitting at the end of the bar and thinks she's my wife and tells her "we'll move down so your boyfriend can move down and you'll have more room."  She explains "that's not my boyfriend...my husband is in the bathroom.


So, this wasn't some couple on a date and the boyfriend was being a macho asshole.  This is a couple where the guy actually belittles his wife out in public and thinks it's his way of showing her his love.  While I, and others, laughed at the situation, I would love to see this guy out one night without his wife and do unto him, what he did to his wife.  I think if I ever do see him, I'm going to state a conversation with him and whenever he goes to talk, I'm going to call him cupcake.  Then call myself pit bull and bite his face! It also makes me wonder how the fuck this guy is married and I am single.  Fucking douche bag!

White Privilege

This was a post I wrote on Facebook after surprisingly not seeing any moaning about the Documentary by Jose Antonio Vargas, titled White People Dayyum! I just scrolled my timeline and not a single white person got their feelings hurt by White People. I unfortunately haven't seen it, but the number of fake accounts that popped up on twitter, tells me it was a damn good show. Here's the thing. If someone of color aka non-white says "White Privilege," are you offended? If you said yes, then you are exhibiting white privilege. It has nothing to do with how hard you work or study, how you stayed out of trouble, because here's the thing, that is entirely the point. Somewhere out there, there are 100 Black, Spanish, Native American, Arab, Asian, who worked and studied as hard as you and never got in trouble, but they don't have what you "earned" or achieved. Stop looking at the one person you know who isn't white that achieved as your benchmark. Loo...

Quickie Review - Finding Vivian Maier

While I thoroughly enjoyed the film, especially the first 15-20 minutes, I was a little bothered by the way the film played out. The interviews with the clearly disturbed brother, sister and the mother, who obviously, was in for a cut, didn't need to be in the film. Then the woman who suggested abuse, yet seemed to have her life defined by Maier, as she tried to muster every ounce of emotion and fake guilt. Her friend, more than happy to be party of the charade. People who talk about abuse for the first time, usually don't do so on camera. The fact these scenes were so prominent, shows that they felt wronged that they were not rewarded. Maloof on the other hand, seems to disappear from the documentary during this part, almost hiding away from the fact, he went from complete praise, to even making money off of her, to destroying her personal legacy. He almost mentions the family of boys taking care of her rent, as an afterthought. Her burial spot, never shown, yet a video of her...

If You Listen To One Speech - Lana Wachowski

http://www.rollingstone.com/movies/videos/lana-wachowski-opens-up-about-difficult-past-and-attempted-suicide-20121024 Today I saw a link to a video for a speech by Lana Wachowski.  The last name rung a bell, but I could't put my finger on it. Lana, used to be Larry, one of the writer, director, producers of the Matrix trilogy, V for Vendetta and the upcoming Cloud Atlas.  Lana is transgendered and has "come out" as a woman.  She was being honored by the Human Rights Campaign. I didn't know what to expect when this broad woman with crazy hair and a raspy voice began to speak.  She began with the usual pleasantries and told of her hair dresser. She then tells of her desire to be a quiet person and how hard the success of the Matrix movies made this.  The first ten minutes is telling of how she's not quite ready to be this spokesperson.  Then she speaks about the new movie Cloud Atlas and reveals the heart of the movie and this speech. She states,"The resp...
