Dating and Interpreting the U.S. Constitution
Posted by chad under Love and Relationships , Politics, Government, etc[4] Comments
“Any interpretation of the U.S. Constitution would be better than the violations of it we are currently experiencing”
This came into my head after attending an informal gathering, “Nashville Drinking Liberally”, at The Flying Saucer on Thursday nights (6pm). It was great fun… and yes, some politics too, but nothing in bad taste to any party or political leanings.
Interestingly, I have a hard time encountering anyone capable/willing to ask me questions. From all my dates via online personals ads, I can only remember a few where someone asked me anything about myself; it usually happens that the woman will talk so much about herself, and that I will usually be genuinely interested, that they never learn anything about me. I do try, however, to interject myself into the conversations, but if someone isn’t curious about you, you can’t compensate for that. Or if they are curious, but somehow timid, the same result.
The whole reason I’m saying this at this point is to say that I had more genuine curiosity about things I said in 5 minutes than I had in hours and hours of interraction with women from the personals ads. I think Dawn Kirk would laugh if she read this… She’s told me all along that I’m wasting my time with personals ads, and I don’t exactly agree, but I can see why she would think that, since she has had so many clients “try it”. I’m going to leave my ad up there, just to give fate a helping hand, but I’m not as interested in it anymore. I just need to get out, and see what happens. See what happens, yes. The worst that could happen is that I might actually experience the phenomena of “good conversation”.

What’s with having to register and log in all of a sudden? You working for the CIA now?
I asked you LOADS of questions, but with the tinfoil hat on your short term memory doesn’t work so well, does it? But then maybe it doesn’t count since we didn’t meet through personals after all, did we?
Is Dawn as wise as she sounds?
When are you coming to California?
Or was that just a windup?

Hi Rachael! I’m so flattered you would write.
I had to turn-on the registering thing because I was getting “spam” comments, on the order of 200 or so a day!
Yes, you do ask questions. You are insightful, deligtful, and funny as hell, to boot. Why are you so rare? Why is it so easy to talk to you?
I’ve always been under the impression that my tinfoil hat is an adjunct to my short term memory… when I can remember to wear it!
And no, since we met via the online clown-porn swingers club, I don’t consider that really a “personals” forum.
Dawn Kirk is a very heartfelt therapist here in Nashville. I see her as often as I can afford; about once every 2 weeks. She has very pretty feet, too. Not that I have a thing about feet, but I like her’s. She thinks I’m looking down in reflection… when really I’m thinking “oooooo, look at the geometry of her feet! Sandals…. mmmmm, sandals” Ha-ha!!! I’m so funny!
Coming to California was definately not a windup. Clyde’s Mom died, then his main-squeeze got preggers and they married, and I’ve had major car troubles requring buying another car and trying to fix another… hence my money reserves took a hit. How would you feel about visiting Yee-Haw land here??? I haven’t given up on coming out there. Have you ever seen a opossum? Or smelled one? Or seen a flattened one? “Street Opossum Pizza Pie” It’s too late, I’m getting loopy.
I want to call you this week anyway, so I’ll talk to you more via phone.
Talk to you soon.

I am sure that the majority of the people that you meet in personals are shallow, small minded and self centered since most of the population is this way. Putting that aside, I believe it is a documented fact that (most) women are more verbal than (most) men. I heard somewhere that the average woman will speak about 30,000 words or more a day and he average man will speak about 1 or 2 thousand. ( I probably have those numbers wrong but it’s about that big a difference in proportion.)hmmmm…. maybe?… what to do you think?

You and I have about the same batting average as far as the online personals thing goes. But like I told you the other day on the phone… the more people I’m willing to open up to and meet, the more I can learn that will lead me in the right direction. I don’t think you are wasting your time online… I think you are doing just fine… as in, I never would have found you if you hadn’t been online. So that’s a good thing! lol Geez, it really is all about me, isn’t it? LMAO… kidding. Seriously, it’s so nice to read the thoughts of someone who is genuine, and wants to be appreciated for just that… not just a guy who “loves to be outdoors, and wants a spontaneous fun-loving woman who doesn’t mind putting up with his inner child pretending to be a grown-up, just because he’s over 35 means he’s a MAN and should be respected as such”… WHATEVUH!!! Women need to know that men like you exist!(So they don’t give up complete hope) I applaude your bravery in being honest. It is not the ‘thing’ or ‘name’ you are… It is the HONESTY that makes you shine in all your brilliance.
