Life in the Fast Lane!

I don't know. Maybe it's a warped perception of the world on MY part! Maybe it's just wishful thinking......but aren't we all in the same reality?? I mean, there aren't different time and space realities co-existing, that interact with each other occasionally, are there??

Let me explain. In my very questionable wisdom, I started dating again...or at least ATTEMPTED to start dating again. I used the very cost effective Plenty of Fish dating site, and although I know the site has it's many detractors, I plunged in and started contacting women. YES, WOMEN! While some of you think my "gay act" isn't really "an act", I DO still like women. However! I'm beginning to see a pattern that has me concerned. All the women I'm interested in, aren't interested in me, and all the women interested in me; I don't want to meet! This has me saying, Hmmmmmmm to myself.

I DID meet two women in person. No, not at the same time.....but there is food for thought there! LOL..Just kidding....maybe.

The first woman has a Masters, is a teacher, helps support her adult daughter and is a fitness freak with an "outstanding physique!" We had dinner and some awkward 1st date conversation and I was told she would like to see me again. Well, good! Things were starting out OK. She wasn't gross or repulsive and she seemed to be interested. But let's get back to her story in a few minutes.

The second woman wanted to text and e-chat for a good while because she had been a victim of a stalker, and was nervous about actually meeting with men right away. I guess being on a public dating site and being afraid of stalkers SHOULD have rung some alarm bells for me, but NOOOOOOO. However, other than THAT, she seemed GREAT! She was an Account Executive, drove a BMW, seemed very intelligent, and was fun to chat with. After THREE WEEKS! of chatting she finally agreed to meet at a local lounge. Unfortunately there wasn't an ounce of physical chemistry. So after we both agreed there wasn't any future, I'm back on the obviously unstable rocky road of dating.
Which brings me back to Fish #1. Although I had been e-chatting with her since the first date, yesterday, I sent her a note on POF, because she never answers her phone,(???) and said that I thought we should have dinner again.
She asked me....."Again?" "Have we met?"

Now this might seem funny to those of you IN relationships, or those used to the vagaries of single life, but it was a quick slap to me! I guess the one thing we ALL would like to think: At least we're not FORGETTABLE!....guess again dumbass!

I don't think I quite know what to do about this dating thing. I kinda doubt a woman will just walk up to my door, naked, with a six pack and say: HONEY! I'm HOME! But that sure would solve this dating dilemma!

To answer my initial question I don't think we live in parallel realities, or in different time warps, ........except maybe in our own minds. I have my dream fantasy woman and they have their fantasy man and in those dreams are hopes. Hopes for a better, more satisfying life, of a satisfaction and contentment not being found in this, "time and space". And having hopes is a goal of a sort. Chasing your dream. It's important to keep your dreams and try to make them a reality. And for now that has to be enough. So I will continue with this mockery of a social life.

But just let me know if you see any naked women with a six pack!

I'm Under Attack!

I knew Georgia would have more bugs than Michigan. Everyone knew I am "somewhat" timid about spiders. I knew they knew because they all made sure to tell me their wild assed experiences with the damn things. Well they didn't lie.

Twice I've been awoken by an eight legged freak crawling on me. Now when I say I've been awakened, I'm talking about being roused out of a dead damn sleep! I think the first time the creepy shit actually jostled my arm! The second one was under my t-shirt and I slapped the hell out of my self trying to crush the fu**er before he creeped me out anymore.

I can LITERALLY watch my lawn moving when I mow. I think I'm walking on the backs on millions of the bastards. This months check is going to buy an Ortho Chemical Plant.

Either I'm kicking their ass or I will wind up with shit growing out of me that's not supposed to be there.(picture Jeff Goldblum in The Fly) Even just writing this thing is giving me the creepy crawlys.

And now I'm finding cute little BABY SPIDERS IN MY BATHROOM! I'VE HAD IT! I WANT SOME BUTTS!

Just for illumination, these are Wolf Spiders. Take your thumb and index finger and make the OK sign. They get that large. Not the inside of the circle....the OUTSIDE! And they move fast. I don't think they are dangerous......I don't think so. Not unless arachnophobia is deadly. It's giving ME a stress heart attack.

Next post I'll try and get pictures of some of the other things around here. Stuff thats not so ....upsetting. I've got to go and take some kind of pill now......not sure which kind....I'll just take a bunch of different ones and wait for my nighttime crawlers! mmoooooooowwaaaaaaaaahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahah

End of the Week Jubilation!

In these days with the economy and the hard times and the pressures we all face, we have a tendency to lower our expectations. Being with people we enjoy, doing things we like, and using our time, which is fleeting, in the most positive way available. That's why I spent tonight at the BAR!
HEY! IT WORKS FOR ME! Anyways I EARNED those beers!
I was really doing research. Trying a new watering hole. It difficult to find one as good as my old one....The Black Bear in the City. Now THATS a great pub! I miss the cast of characters. The bookstore Manager from Seattle, the bartender whose wife is absolutely a lunatic...but has great .....attributes! And the stream of personalities that keep you entertained. It was never boring.

It's not like that out in the...frontier. More of the "old school" type. Still very nice but not from somewhere else. I might have to try some bar stools in the bigger places, like Kennesaw or Marietta. Real "hot" spots. It's funny for me to be so interested in finding a new bar, and maybe a new "friend", because I'm not really in a position to actually BE the "Hot Shot" I see myself as! But it's the nature of the Beast to carry on, and I'm nothing, if not a "Beast"!

I know as soon as I find someone I like I will flame out and "crash and burn" as someone much cooler than I said. But hope always springs eternal and as much as I try to keep realistic about my age, weight, bald spot and general slovenliness, I still visualize myself as 32 and wickedly sexy. Maybe I DID have too much beer tonight!

Well tonight is done and I have a very full day tomorrow, as usual. I have to go get stamps and then return some books to the library and maybe do a "honey-do" with out the "honey". But as I go, I want you to always remember the lesson of life that has sustained me through many years of struggle and toil: When you step on the brake your life is in your foots hands.
Peace Out my Homies.
