It did take some guts to walk into that bar, just pulling up to the parking place did. There must have been 30 bikes parked outside, and a lot of guys hanging out there. I waved at them and came in and nursed a few beers. It is easier to go in places with a friend.
It was fun, because I got what I went for, good music. Met a potential girlfriend to hang out and meet up with in local places.
She is a guy magnet, I thought that was funny. She invited me to join her and the guitarist for breakfast but I didn't want to butt in there.
The only guy that came up to me while I was alone there, was a white haired biker, who told me he was 59 and had a stroke last December. He said he had too much to drink and wanted to know if I'd take a walk with him down Lorain Ave. I said no thanks, I wanted to hear the band. Then he asked me if I wanted to ride on his Harley! I said no thanks, if you had too much to drink I don't think so. We talked a few minutes more and he left my table.
He only did that to the women of course! He also did sliding on the guitar with beer bottles, ashtray and glasses. Behind his head too, he was a real showman (showoff I guess) but he had everyone going.
Then he got a thing for the girl at the table I was with. He laid the guitar down on the table and was just picking at it with his fingers for about five minutes! "Redhouse" and yes I did request it.
Tonight, Saturday, I decided to go find people in the flesh, so to speak. I ended up at Smedley's Bar, Cleveland, a known biker bar. Yeah, thought I could tear it up tonight.
The music a blues band was great. I ended up meeting someone, Renee, a woman there alone, kind of out like I was. We ended up at the same table and talking. So we decided to be running buddies, email exchanged, etc....
Gotta say, she is a guy magnet, blonde, and I don't get it, but the lead guitarist was ALL OVER her. She laughed when I told her I'd be glad to take her runoffs.
Monday night is our next night out. So tonight ended up being fun after all. The whole bar seemed to be coupled up, except for a few stray women.
That sounds like SO MUCH FUN! I would love to entertain little girls. The guests that were here, 7 & 11 were just the sweetest. I took them to the park, the library, where you can get videos for free, and books of course. Bought them coloring books and crayons.
But with the warm weather, the beach, lake or pool? Hose in the yard? Have fun, if they are only visiting, you will wish you did more with them after they are gone. I sure do.
haha it is not a problem, there are hundreds of locals, in this website and in yahoo. No way would I put an ad in the newpaper, haha I want someone who is computer literate!
Either way, I am debating about going out now, by myself to get a beer. Just got home from work it is muggy outside and I feel like listening to live music.
Right, I get that with the smokers too, and even the first email where I explain where I stand on that, I can accept. It is the second email that tries to "talk me out of it" and challenge what I have said that really pisses me off.
Again, I must ask WHY is it so freekin difficult for a guy to understand a profile requirement.
After I get an email saying ASKING ME how far Pittsburgh is from me and I politely say no thank, you are too far, then ANOTHER email saying that 280 miles is not "that far" I have to wonder if they did too many drugs as a teenager!
I don't mean to seem harsh, and I am completely willing to have a EMAIL FRIEND long distance, but let's stop playing the game of 280 miles isn't that far!!!
There again, I am obligated to put someone up, and the complexities that come with a long distance "relationship" so specified my profile is NOT that hard to understand.
You mean other than the obvious things: self-sufficient independent self-confident kind hearted smart makes a decent living doing what he likes to do not clingy responsible trusting honest spontaneous doesn't smoke cigarettes good lover
If I find someone like that, it would be nice if he cared about me also.
A while back, I read up on anarchy because my younger son was into it. True anarchists are not the violent radical people you see on the news burning cars and throwing rocks through windows. They want an equal society. What I read about a camp in Virginia, they seemed more like a commune, growing their own food, etc. There are rules, but they try to include everyone in making them. If you don't follow them, they kick you out. I can't find that website anymore.
I was happy to see my son was looking into other passive directions, but that was four years ago and it is long forgotten.
I read your profile. You are a musician and writer? So you are an artist. Find another starving artist girlfriend. Make her stuff, rather than buy. Write her a song. In the meantime, maybe you should go back to school as a back up for a better paying job.
It depends on what is causing it. Just the regular run of the mill down days, yes, chocolate or ice cream. Buying something for myself helps sometimes.
If it is a serious problem, I don't even feel like eating or leaving the house. Being around people does help a lot, talking it out, or being at work to take my mind of the whole situation for at least a few minutes at a time. The kind of problem where it is the last thing on your mind before sleep and the first thing when you wake up, even in the middle of the night, keeping you up at night, well then time is needed to heal the rawness of the pain you are feeling.

Biker bar
Monday night. You can crash here afterward, unless you get lucky.
