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.
