Priority Use

My dad and I went out to sushi tonight. We went up to the Hill--the college student area, I think I mentioned before--to the new outpost of a trendy sushi place that is also on the walking mall downtown. I was not looking forward to the proposition at first. We were going to walk, which meant that we would have to go through the college neighborhood--something that I try to avoid at all costs. There's something about some of the college students here. They're just, I don't know, obnoxious. Now, I am definitely not saying this sitting atop a high and mighty lounge chair. I am not saying, or believing, that I am better than anyone one else (a la previous post). I am saying, more, that I see things differently. Just not the same as many of these people here. But, anyway, that's not point. The point is, I didn't want to go, but I did anyway. And, the sushi was fabulous. Anyway (now that I have gone of on a point that got me absolutely nowhere), at the restaurant, we were having a conversation about bars. My dad was giving me the lo-down on the clientele at all the bars in the town--telling me who goes where and when. Somehow we got on the a comparison between two of the bars. They were both similar, but one--he said--had a more "active" crowd. They danced and moved around more than at the other place. Then--he added-you wouldn't see overweight people at the "active" bar. I interjected that there aren't overweight people in this town, really (cause there aren't). Then, I glanced around, and realized that we, in fact, were the most overweight people in the entire restaurant! And, you know what? It was totally true. Now, a little disclaimer on this: I don't need anyone telling me this "oh, you're not overweight" stuff. This was not an observation out of self-consciousness. It was a pure, objective observation with nothing attached. Now here were two healthy, food-conscious, gym-going people in a restaurant (we're not talking skinny club here, people) who were the most overweight (yes, I realize, the word most is highly relative) people in an entire food eating establishment. Quite an odd realization. Let's just keep it at that.
