Ok here goes again…”Sarcasm mode”…on and adjusted to maximum. “Cynical mode”..operating within normal perameters. “Bad attitude”….Aww bugger cannae find it, ah well!?@$”. Sence of humour…engage, WARPED FACTOR 6!!! Scream if yah wanna go faster…here we go…………….
Another week, another rant, but n this is a big but I dinnae have anything to rant about!!
Life is just f**kin peachy, and on top of everything else its my birthday today! And as some of you will know at a point in the past year I didn’t think I was gonna make it this far, so yah boo sucks tae all those that had me written off, as my signature on another forum reads “still nae deid!!” n that’s the way its staying for as long as I can make it.
The experiences of the past year have however given me a new found lust for life, some of my friends are finding this out the hard way as they cannae keep up!! I also never refuse an opportunity to do something new now, even if its something in the past I would have avoided like the plague, this new found adventurism has led me to visit place’s I would previously held out of bounds including one that I will come to later. My new mantra is “Life is for living, not mearly existing” And that along with my old mantra “The past is for losers, the future is for the brave” should see me through this life and onward towards the next.
I have even compiled a list of things I wanna do before departing this mortal existence, the list is sitting at 32 things or events, but I’m sure that’s gonna grow. And looking at it, most of then are relatively cheap to do, all that’s actually needed is time, and its time that is the most precious thing anyone can give us, you dinnae realise this til you think its running out. My advise to everyone would be then Don’t waste yer time, and don’t waste anyone else’s either, and live every day like its your last.
I have met some really decent people this past twelve months, in particular some members of a female bike club, and I have to say they are some of the nicest most decent honest people I have met, and one or two are absolutely drop dead (oops) gorgeous!!..n one of them is even single(ish)…ummm I wonder??(Better stop thinking like that I’m at work, besides she would probably kick my arse!)
Anyway back to the plot..n the life n times of a single male biker. (Now 39 years old, so why do I still feel 17 inside? And why is it I still find 19 year old girls attractive, or is that summat we never grow out of?)
Now that I have reached what I can best describe as the “in between years” where women in there 20s and in there 40s are equally as attractive for different reasons.(Mothers and Daughters senario’s !! fnar fnar!!) Life’s vast dating pool is opened wide, the only problem I have is that I cannae find the right bait! Its not easy meeting single women (some might say I’m doing ok, n maybe they are right) but at my time of life most women of my age are married or in steady relationships, neither of which I would interfere with! Or as is more often than not the case divorced with tonnes of baggage, not that I’m completely baggage free, but that’s just life.
If you have read my last rant on just good friends, (by the way we still are in case you were wondering, as mutual friends have said “ hang in there big man” so I am for the moment LOL!!) It still disnae help me though and I am still playing the dating game, but its difficult to meet someone once you are past a certain age, but there are still ways and means so I will now lay down some of what I have discovered.
One of my mates swears the best way of meeting women is in supermarkets. Well I have found an even better place, a place that like a lot of men I hate n detest, but since Sunday I have seen its potential…and this place of wonder and delight is…IKEA, the home of all things Scandinavian.
Its great, act all dumb n helpless n lost (yeah I know not difficult in my case!) n women will take pity on you n offer to help you, and in IKEA, its easy to look lost (I was!!) because of the cunning layout, these craft foreigners use to make you walk round all there displays totally disorientating you…very clever. It’s also the sort of place you go into with the intention of buying one thing. In my case magazine filing boxes (£1.50 for 5) and you end up needing a trolley to cart all the stuff you think you cant live without, that you have seen as you walk past, again very clever. I got off lucky on Sunday, I had 3 women to escort me through the maze, now I went in intending to buy nothing, except my breakfast, well you cannae go wrong for a £1 can you. So how come I still managed to spend £25?
Well I was needing a new light fitting for my living room, I always wanted a mortar n pestle, n well the lap top bag was a bargain!(Just gotta buy a lap top now!!).But now to the point of this. I was one of only a handful of blokes in there! All being led, most of them obviously doing the “yes dear” bit, the majority in the shop were women, mostly in groups of 2 or 3 all pushing big shopping carts. Better odds of finding a single woman than in ASDA I would think. The supermarket thing is easier however cos all you look for is hand baskets with meals for 1 in them!!
Well I survived the IKEA experience, even if my wallet didn’t, and if I am honest I actually enjoyed it in a perverse sort of way. It just goes to show, I have avoided this experience for years, as my ex’s can testify, but now that I have done it, I would do it again. Like a lot of things in life, you don’t know what its gonna be like until you try it. But next time I will go with some mates n we can do the helpless bloke thing enmass!
While sitting with some other single mate’s we went through the other options available and to be honest theirs not many. Lonely hearts (BSH / Bikerdating.com etc) or speed dating, doing some social thing like lets see, Salsa dancing!!…as I say not many…A few of us are considering speed dating for a laff, so if that does bear fruit I will let you all know!
For the time being I guess its down the pub of a weekend n see what happens, every weekends a big new adventure! This weekend is no exception, I’m currently trying to get some company organised to go n see the Wildhearts on Friday night, and on Saturday I will be in Lancashire, then at a “Club” open evening in Southport, With a long drive home on Sunday. Oh well cannae slow down, if I do the Grim Reaper might catch up on me!! N I cannae have that now, far to much trouble still to get into..
Well I am now gonna go n crack a beer open…Sod it it is my birthday after all..
Later Days
:D :) :p :rolleyes:
