You know what? I should put up those pictures. LOL!<BR/><BR/>MsQ - The solo thing is really no issue at all with me. It's become second nature. Yes I can look very menacing. I like that. <BR/><BR/>The train is a different dynamic. People are more closed off or think they are in a bubble where no one else can see them. But we can. What strange things have you seen?

I've thought of it (not to meet anyone, just to hang out) but I really do like some company when I sip wine and hang out a bar! <BR/><BR/>I may go to what looks to be an easy-going artist/Yuppie/urban bar with a nice long happy hour that's near one of the train stations after work one day. Just to chill. <BR/><BR/>I love your descriptions of the people and their energy - you're definitely an observer (and most writers are!). <BR/><BR/>The Lenny and Squiggy dudes, hahaha! You looking menacing makes me think of that photo of you in the knit cap playing the Bad Boy. I am sure you could pull it off!<BR/><BR/>I watch people on the train. Unlike a bar, they aren't usually talking but dang, the things they do! Plus those one-side cell phone conversations can be fascinating...<BR/><BR/>Even if you don't blog, I hope you never stop writing...Ms. Qhttp://qmusings.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22427371.post-52900759589334769462008-03-21T18:39:00.000-04:002008-03-21T18:39:00.000-04:00That must have been an interesting evening, but my question is: where were all my cell phone shots that you send me when you see someone cute? I'm very disappointed in you my friend! <BR/><BR/>It's nice to see more and more people comfortable enough in their own skin to go out by themselves and be at ease with it.<BR/><BR/>Kudos!~Debhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14986475569600734742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22427371.post-50901049928179635772008-03-21T09:26:00.000-04:002008-03-21T09:26:00.000-04:00Clay - Retool the band a better reflect these modern times. I'll manage you. Think of the screaming women shouting your name. LOL!<BR/><BR/>Marsha- No worries, I'm just teasing you.

I played in a local band on the regional bar circuit for nine years straight and witnessed some bizarre behavior and situations that were so surreal that they can only be described as priceless. However, I dont miss it at all. <BR/><BR/>Sounds like you were in a interesting place to be showing a film like Vampire Lesbos.LoLClayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01735810775203566848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22427371.post-43839254215565006082008-03-19T22:05:00.000-04:002008-03-19T22:05:00.000-04:00enemy - I like that idea. Let's do it. <BR/><BR/>Huckdoll - thank you and I have felt<BR/>the need to get numb now and then myself. I think it happens to all of us. I once drove up to Montreal by myself and had a blast there. I guess sometimes I just like going solo. <BR/><BR/>Nursemyra - She's got the right idea I'd say. i think each of you would make excellent drinking companions. <BR/><BR/>Meleah - We should do this one day. We would get ourselves into trouble but in a good way. <BR/><BR/>Leah - LOL! The "internets." I can't believe this guy is the leader of the most powerful nation in the world.Ricardohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01393234934008656683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22427371.post-56786573669755541442008-03-19T19:18:00.000-04:002008-03-19T19:18:00.000-04:00Ha! The funniest thing to me is that those people have no idea that their conversations & evening out made it to the internet's' (as GWB would say). :)Leahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00927885981276316514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22427371.post-53472759183691208152008-03-19T13:42:00.000-04:002008-03-19T13:42:00.000-04:00I *love* going to bars and people watching.

That said, on a few occasions I've been that solo chick at the bar inwardly downing as many bevvies as possible in the shortest amount of time, not caring who was around, not wanting to talk. Just wanting to be numb.<BR/><BR/>Been there, done that ~ on both ends of the spectrum.<BR/><BR/>I really enjoyed this post!Huckdollhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07492761626352593047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22427371.post-86741770884935787542008-03-18T19:40:00.000-04:002008-03-18T19:40:00.000-04:00I am a vampire, but not a lesbian, sorry.

I think a read head is just another frontier I'd like to explore. LOL!<BR/><BR/>Urban - I have done what they have done too but there's the right way and wrong way. They were doing it the wrong way. Let's face it there are some idiots out there that look like rejects from the Springer Show so how could you not say something.<BR/><BR/>I prefer to love instead of fight too. Fighting is a LAST resort.<BR/><BR/>Sometimes you just have to take a step out there and go it alone, I agree. I notice so many more things when I do that and it clears my head and gives me ideas. I will remain a trooper. You do the same my friend.Ricardohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01393234934008656683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22427371.post-35807627325854848842008-03-18T12:52:00.000-04:002008-03-18T12:52:00.000-04:00Size them up and break them down. That's whats up. I think a lot of us want to put people in their place when they start acting out. I'm speaking of the two dudes and how you bumped one of them.<BR/><BR/>I cannot say I haven't done what they were doing. I find it a source of entertainment, just for laughs. When the night is slow wise crack on the folks around you. I'm a humble dude though and never think I'm better than anyone. Just hope someone doesn't try to break my fingers. LOL... But I'm willing to fight when the time is necessary. I prefer to love though.<BR/><BR/>I like the fact that you can go off alone and do your thing. Making the best of a situation and rolling with the punches.<BR/><BR/>People find it odd when I venture out on my own. If you're not down with what I'm doing, willing to take a step out of your norm, or making excuses for reason not to then my life still must go on.<BR/><BR/>What a trooper Ricardo is...<BR/><BR/>Looking forward to the next post.Urban Thoughthttp://blog.urbanobservation.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22427371.post-76089367978984066412008-03-18T10:31:00.000-04:002008-03-18T10:31:00.000-04:00Finally! :)<BR/><BR/>I take it you're a lover of the Ginger Freedom Front?Saadianoreply@blogger.com
