Her name was Amanda, and oh yeah, this was going to be the best date she ever went on, I knew it.  That’s until I was outsmarted by my own GPS System.

I had my car all cleaned out, my best looking outfit on, and the cologne to attract the most beautiful woman I ever met.  However, the first date that was supposed to get me a second, actually got me a smack on the face.

The plan was for dinner at Steve’s Steakhouse, and then a rivoting performance of Cats at the Performing Arts Center.  She was a theater major herself, and a fan of steak, so I thought this line up would be ideal.

Dinner went fine, as I had been to Steve’s before. We spent an hour and a half on stimulating conversation and the food was fantastic. I was impressed, this theater major and dancer really loved her meat and potatoes.  My kind of woman!  I was really digging her, and I am pretty sure she was digging me at this point.

Now, the Performing Arts Center was across the metro area, and I had never been inside, but passed it once or twice before.  I felt fairly confident in finding the place on my own, so I went ahead and headed down freeway 47 acting like I knew where I was going. That’s what you do to impress a girl right, act like you have control and a grip on the situation and not stop for directions?  Well, that’s at least how my Dad said he met Mom.

Anyways, an hour later and 20 minutes into the performance, I was stuck in gridlock traffic on highway 122.  I swear the Performing Arts Center was off 122, well I thought it was.

Amanda, who kept saying she had to go to the bathroom, urged me to pull over to use the bathroom and also to find directions.  I stopped at a gas station and talked to the attendant while she was in the restroom.  My friend at the counter said, I was 30 minutes in the wrong direction.  Yeah, that wasn’t good to hear.

Back in the car, she asked how close we were.  I told her well, ummmmm….She could see the expression on my face that I got us lost.

She rolled her eyes, and while doing so, saw on my dashboard my Refurb Insignia NS-CNV10 3.5in Internet-Connected GPS on the side panel of her door.  AH! I thought I hid it well from her.  She picked it up, handed it to me in dissapointment and said, my Dad has one of these, use it!

Red in my face, I nervously used it’s internet connection to the built-in cellular modem to use Google Maps, and she said ‘Just Google it OK, to find the venue!’.   Yeah, at that moment I could tell she was annoyed.  Remembering there was bad traffic, she urged me to use the GPS’ real-time traffic updates – Up-to-the-minute, real-time traffic information provided by traffic.com. Routes calculated with real-time traffic flow to determine the fastest possible route given the actual speed of traffic on the roads.

Maybe with this feature we’d see at least the second act?  Nervously, I used the GPS’  Text-to-speech and turn-by-turn voice prompts – allowing me to keep my eyes on the road while navigating with convenient voice guidance.   However, I didn’t want to talk much, because I think Amanda was tired of hearing my voice, I already could tell she thought I was just some big talker!

Let’s just say this, the night ended with us missing the entire play, driving home in silence using the Refurb Insignia NS-CNV10 3.5in Internet-Connected GPS to find our way back, and her smacking me on the face when I tried to kiss her goodnight.  Amanda, I will miss you.

So, my advice is, get this GPS system, don’t be afraid to use it, as it will get you from A to B back to A safely, and if I would have used it in the first place, I’d already be driving Amanda to see Rent this weekend.

CowBoom’s daily deal for Monday, Oct. 5th!

Dear Santa,

I know it’s probably too soon to tell you what I want for Christmas is the Disney DDS8005-BLK Jam Stand MP3 Player Docking Station in black, since it’s only October, but I took the advice from my Mommy to write early.  She says that if I write early I have a better chance to get what I want.  Especially since all of your elves are just kicking back drinking hot chocolate right now during their shift at the North Pole factory.  I knew they would have plenty time to honor my request, way before the rush of letters came in next month.  What I really really really need is something to plug my Mix Stick (sold separately Mommy tells me) into so I can listen to some of my favorite Disney music while it’s charging.

Mommy even has an MP3 Player too, and she wants to use the Black Disney Jam Stand Speaker as well.  She knows it can charge with an AC Adapter any MP3 Player along with mine that came from Disney, with no need for batteries.  Plus it’s so pretty with all of the flashing colors, like red, blue, green and yellow (OMG, Red is my favorite!!) that appear while it’s on. And the sound producing with full-ranger driver 2 x 30mm Hi-Fi sound, or even the ability to have 75mm sound with a stereo cable.  Mommy says her friend’s daughter has one and loves the sound quality of the Disney Jam Stand.  So I pretty pretty please want one to for this Christmas. By the way, I know it may be weird to think I am a 30 year old man who still lives in Mommy’s basement asking for this, but girls my age I meet off the internet think that the fact I listen to Disney music and believe in you gives me a unique sensitive side.

Sincerely,

Tommy

McFarlane Toys Guitar Hero Axel Steel 6in Action Figure

Well I got to say to you when you tell me not to play (with toys) is that I wanna rock!

So my Twisted Sister you’re telling me to stop pretending to be a rock star with my McFarlane
Toys Guitar Hero Axel Steel 6in Action Figure, but I know a girl who’s tough but sweet and overweight screaming I want candy and that’s you. You keep telling me you’ll get your balls to the wall, man, and I find that odd since we are related. You have no right to judge me for just playing my toy since Im getting no sex, no drugs, no wine, no women and just Turning Japanese.

I’m being a good boy, while you have guys out there saying she will be moving up and down and round and round and round…and shakin!  How can you be so judgmental when your reputation Ain’t Nothing but a Good Time.  I am sure if Mom and Dad knew you were in the philosophy that Girls Just Wanna Have Fun they wouldn’t mind so much that Im still playing with the Axel Steel action figure and you’re idolizing every girl written about by Motley Crue.  Grab one this Saturday for our deal of the day!
