Ruby - Kaiser Chiefs

Well ,

Today was one of those roller coaster days. Action packed, full of stomach flipping twists and turns and weird lulls for reflection. Really it was a strange day. It had me wondering about a multitude of things. Is it possible to overcome an ‘always’? Is destiny real? Will I ever open a bar?

I’ll start with the last one because I think that it’s the coolest, tbh. You’ll all be most interested in it. The idea’s been bouncing around in my head for a little while and then yesterday I shared the idea with Phoebe via an animated facebook chat. In that little chat it kind of evolved.  It’s a bar that’s called.... ‘Laboratory’ pronounced ‘labratory’ in a very kiwi eksent. It’s a theme bar. A really flipping awesome theme bar! Way cooler than ‘the Library bar’ or ‘the apartment bar’. Pah they’ll pale in comparison to LABORATORY. For starters it’s going to be Chemistry themed. That means that all of the bar staff (incl. The bouncers) wear white lab coats. The actual bar part will be a chemistry lab table and the beer that’s on tap can come out of exciting tubes (like the ones you use to set up a bulkner funnel).  Imagine that all of the walls are covered in tubes and flasks which are in the middle of reacting. (So there are colour changes (oh and some will change colour when they’re hit with a UV light that’ll be spinning around on the dance floor) volcanoes, fizzes and bangs.) Everyone’s wearing funky neon stuff and there’s a... smoke machine so the dance floor is always awesome looking.  The bar tenders will mix your drinks (shots in test tubes and cocktails in conical flasks/beakers)in front of you and it’ll be like a chemistry experiment with foam/colour changes/loud bangs.

We also thought about having lots of constellations on the ceiling of one room. To which I suggested that we could ask Megan (my friend who’s majoring in astronomy/awesomeness/international relations) to point out the constellations to everyone. Although I think her skills may be wasted a little bit since they’ll probably be too drunk to remember.

Finally my most inspired idea the smoking area is called ‘the fume hood’.... When I told Trevor (he really didn’t appreciate it when I tried calling him Professor... I was just excited about Harry Potter) my Chemistry lab demonstrator/ex lecturer about my bar ideas he suggested that we should call the bathrooms ‘liquid and solid waste disposal units’... Hmm stick to your day job I think. Above there’s the club part of the bar but the really exciting part is when you get down below.

Underneath the club (well we’re not too sure if it’ll be a club because Maddi made a good point about how bars are better money earners in which case it’ll just be the ordinary people bar with amazing drinks) there’ll be a super exclusive VIP bar. It shall be called ‘Hazchem’ but no one will know its name until they’re inside because it’ll just be a black door guarded by a burly island guy wearing a lab coat and a graphics calculator in his front pocket. In order to get in then you have to know the password/be able to solve a cryptic/know the chemical formula for ethanol. We haven’t quite gotten down to the specifics. Anyway only the awesomely nerdy people will be allowed inside. Then downstairs inside ‘Hazchem’ there’ll be wicked bands, even cooler drinks, amazing food and it’ll pretty much have the coolest people ever. Since we all know that an awesome nerd is no longer an oxymoron. Thanks Zachary Levi!

So that’s the bar! Oh and this is all under copy write and trademarked so if anyone steals any of the ideas above then ‘you’ll be hearing from my lawyer who by the by is my cousin who by the by likes me very much.’ Chuck reference anyone?

Two questions left. ‘Always’ and ‘Destiny’.

I believe in the second not the first. I don’t believe that there are any absolutes. If maths has taught me anything then it’s that there are exceptions to any law. It’s going to be hard to not contradict myself here since I have a tendency to make sweeping statements for dramatic effect, so instead of me doing all the work I want you to think back to a time in your life when something different/out of the ordinary happened.

Destiny. Ah Ted Moseby. In the latest instalment you’ve given up on ever finding ‘the one’ and instead resort to manufacturing destiny. Oh it’s all very cyclic you know and it’s all about having a little bit of faith. If you put yourself out there and if you do good things then eventually you’ll be able to cash out your good karma and something amazing will happen. It’s just a matter of time and hope.

3 Good Things

*Laboratory.

*Coffee with Kristi. Huge thank you for buying me my Cappa! :D You’re awesome. Although you don’t read my blog... But you’re still awesome!

*TALKING about things. It’s always so much better to just get stuff out in the open instead of letting it eat you up inside (I know that’s a cliché so I think I should try yet again to NOT use clichés for a week... oh and I’m officially sugar free for 9 days! It really isn’t too hard! :D)
