That means ‘What Should Joel Have Done?’. Since you didn’t ask, I’ll tell you what I mean by that.

The other night I went to SKKY Bar for the Mix Master Mike show. It was insane. He is unbelievable. Aside from the amazing show, something weird happened that I have been getting a lot of grief from my friends over.

While I was there, this really attractive girl comes up to me and grabs my hand and says “Come with me.” Ok. Not a problem. Sure. She leads me over to this booth where another attractive girl is making out with some dude. The girl who led me over there taps her friend on the shoulder and points me out. This girl crawls off this guy and out of the booth and looks at me and says “I know you.” At this point I’m weirded out. I look over at the guy this girl was making out with until I showed up and he was none too happy. I say “Ok.” What else am I gonna say? I didn’t know her at all. She says “I’ve seen you at The Loony Bin and you’re f—ing hilarious.” I said thanks. It was kind of awkward. I looked at this girl and said “Uh, thank you for the compliment but maybe you should get back to making out with that dude. He doesn’t look too happy.” She turned around and looked at the guy and said “Oh yeah. Him.” What the hell was going on? She went back over to that guy and I looked at all of them and said “You guys have a, uh, good night.” The friend just sat there.

Ok. When I relayed this weird story to my friends most of them told me I screwed up. A friend of mine told me I should have hit on the girl who was previously making out with some dude. I really didn’t see the benefit in that. I mean God knows I wouldn’t mind making out with some hot girl, but I think it is telling of someone who crawls off some dude to say hi to me. I mean, it’s me. I’m not that special.

The other way I’ve been told I screwed up is that I should have hung out with the first girl. The one who came and got me for her pre-occupied friend. I’ll give a little validity to that argument. I was just really weirded out. I’m not smoove or anything at all. I wasn’t thinking about anything than getting out of that situation. It was just weird to me.

So that having been said, what do you think I should have done? It’s too late to do anything about it now but just in case the planets align or I’m able to time travel, it would be nice to get some feedback.
