PDA and a Pint of Vomit

I work in a bar and I do believe that the particular bar I work in, the short wait for your order is worth it yet can be somewhat tiresome during those  busy periods. However, it is just as tiresome in a particular bar like in any other that promotes speed of service as well as hospitality when serving the next customer becomes a mission due to the pure ignorance of infatuation. Customers do get rowdy when waiting for a long time to buy a drink or six, I get a little frustrated myself when in that place, I agree, but how annoying is it when you go to greet your customer, sacrificing your soul, with a huge smile attempting a warm welcome and they are stood there munching on each others faces. OK the novelty has not yet worn off so you are lining your stomach to save face…? no?
A very young couple they were, who I would have asked for proof of age had I stuck around long enough to serve, I understand it is all still very fresh and liberating; they think they have found a life partner so they want to let absolutely everyone around them witness their delusion.
After three attempts at a greeting I walked away and wondered if it was some act of Karma being shared out for making people wait or whether the music was too loud for them to hear while being so busy themselves, so I decided not to watch the act of cannibalism and use my time wisely as it is a fast paced environment to work in.
But in all fairness, standing at a much sought after spot whilst trying to make the most of a night out is surely not the most desirable place to dine on a loved one? People may get violent? Push? should either one occur the couple are not going to understand what or why such a thing is going on for they have been in a daydream thinking about riding unicorns through rainbows for they have truly found that pot of gold…
Cuddling? Fine, whatever, making babies here though just holds people up, there are plenty of places to shut off your brain like the restrooms, your table or in the privacy of your very own love dungeon. NOT at the front of the bar when the bar tender is trying to get your order with angry, if not ill, people standing behind you.
Is it all even genuine? Self reassurance?
The novelty of Love really does make a person stupid.

Mariah's Attempt For the Winter Olympics

Difficult Diva Mariah Carey warms up to release another nauseating ballad 100%(Percent). Carey 39, was set to release the song for her latest acting attempt Precious, acting and singing combo has proved unsuccessful for the perfectly piped beauty with Glitter back in 2001, but this time around her voice cannot be used to gain interest in her acting as genuinely talented Mary J Blige was used for the musical promotion of the picture.
The subject matter of the song seems inspirational, however its seemingly pleading with fans (past or present) to remember how hard she worked through those hey day years of the 90′s. OK…! Ms Mariah Mimi Carey Cannon Piggy WE GET IT! We all have a Hero worth giving 100% for. Unlike 1993′s Hero, everything is very ‘this is about me so relate!‘ as oppose to ‘you can do it!‘ which for the Winter Olympics would be more patriotic.
 The whole 100 percent metaphor is all very fitting as she sings about having a “dream” and not being “discouraged” and even the inevitable rhyming of the latter key word with “courage“… the trials she has witnessed to become the emancipated Mimi she claims to be is clearly not of the same nature of an athlete but every hurdle jumped is an achievement (no pun intended, I’m aware it’s the WINTER Olympics). It is the ‘taking part approach’ in lines such as “I’m walking out of here a champion either way“ and “I’ma break through the door til I get in” that may prove inspirational as well as the whole suggestion of nostalgia “put your arms up” if you relate.
Mariah Carey sticks to the vocal formula of past hit ballads such as My All, the build up approach she has taken with her music since the beginning of her career where she builds from soprano eventually into the belt at the end, possibly a parallel for the strong message in her songs. When Carey breaks into the bigger notes for the conclusion of the song, her voice manages to do her some justice. Throughout it does remain strong, mainly in the bridge and the chorus, but the end is where fans may really feel inspired to run out and buy her record immediately, Mariah actually sings here! Not since 2005′s We Belong Together has she made a fine noise. Carey belts out the key points of the lyrics leading to an extended “up“  in which she rides up part of her range and then ventures into her whistler register to really prove that Mariah Carey can actually still sing! when she wants to.
