so last time I had a girlfriend I was 18...What have I been doing the last 12...I've been dating guys. I part of me will be attracted to guys...but I don't want a LTR with them...I want that with a girl. I want to have a family.
Right now I don't have the greatest job...I probally would be in the "working poor" catagory...10/hour....Coffee shops..dancing...art muesums..walks...these things I like to do. I do have a college degree...grad in 05 with Fine Arts from OU. and yes I still use my college id for discounts..lol...
I think what i want is impossible...if you a girl who sometimes like girls that would be all right for me. I would never want to date a girl with out telling her I'm bi first...so this is why i'm mentioning so you know from the start.
I am constant told I am cute...and usually I don't like that. I am 6'1 185 brown hair, hazel eyes. I constantly move and lift at my job so I have a nice swimmer's build.
I discribe my music taste as alternative/indie. i usually dress that way to. so.. so if your a cool girl. hit me up.

******

This has "social disaster" written all over it...and can we, as a society, PLEASE stop using 'hit me up' as an expression?? I think it's run its course...and then some.

Sonic Youth - 'Confusion Is Next' MP3

God bless the Amish. I don't know how they do it...

There were some wicked wind storms here in Ohio over the weekend, leaving lots of folks without power for large chunks of time...myself included for just over 24hrs. This is EXACTLY why I always keep my mp3 player charged...you never know when a random act of nature will swoop in and take away all of your modern conveniences...and when that happens, I gotta have music. Seriously...as tedious has the last 24 hours have been, if I didn't have a soundtrack to kill the time it would have been SO much worse. Here are the musical highlights:

Sonic Youth - 'Kool Thing' MP3

The National - 'Daughters Of The Soho Riots' MP3

Karen Dalton - 'Little Bit Of Rain' MP3

I couldn't help but to notice that this week, the same week their new 'music label' issued a compilation disc from Sonic Youth, that Starbucks had to close 600 more stores.

I have a feeling that in some New York City basement Kim, Thurston, and Lee are rocking out and totally digging the irony of all of this right about now.

And with all due respect to Starbucks employees(I have been downsized - it sucks), but maybe if they didn't build a Starbucks on EVERY OTHER BLOCK...this could have been avoided...just an observation.

Sonic Youth - 'Teenage Riot' MP3

Yet another post inspired by a total stranger. This one though I have to tread through carefully, as I was once guilty of the crime I am condemning...sort of.

I was walking down to the corner convenience store to pick up a couple of things and I see out of the corner of my eye this huge pick up truck pull into the lot. I swivel my neck around to check it out and there in the back window I saw it. One gigantic white sticker, taking up almost the entire length of this guy's back glass, one word: Hustler
in an old English font. Super hip. I mean if you are advertising that you are a 'Hustler' you obviously are, right? And you are just extremely proud of your status as a 'Hustler' and rightly so. I bow down to your modesty...

Whatever. But as I was walking back home the Sonic Youth song 'Teenage Riot' came on my mp3 player. Then it all came back to me. My 1995 emerald green Chevy Cavalier. The first real car I ever had and to this day the worst. I had band stickers plastered all over the back of my car. My brand new car. I was the one shouting for attention..."hey, look at me I like Sonic Youth." I think I had visions of hot alt-rock girls pulling up next to me at stoplights and commenting on my stickers...that never happened. Not once.

If i can remember correctly I had black and white Sonic Youth and Beastie Boys stickers on the left rear of the car. A Hole sticker that was really lame, even by car sticker standards on the rear right. And the crown jewel of the collection. A huge black rectangular sticker with PAVEMENT in yellow letters right in the middle of the trunk door. Yeah, and like 4yrs later when I went to get rid of the car it took what seemed like WEEKS to get them off...I was not so smart. Apparently I thought I would own that little two door cavalier that broke down ever three weeks forever. I have never been good at being a big picture thinker.


I guess I am saying I shouldn't be so quick to judge. Today's hustler might be tomorrow's me...scary thought...but I hope this guy's hustling days are just a phase. For his sake and for society's!
