Everything is as it should be.

I am taking steps to address key issues in my life that I find lacking. I have been bitching about it a little to much lately. It has become time for me to leave my comfort zone and do what I don't feel comfortable doing. My life is so rich in so many ways, yet something goes unresolved. As January in Cleveland leaves you longing for the sun. My life longs for companionship. So I have decided to start dating.

Tom Waits said "You don't meet nice girls in coffee shops". I know what kind of decisions I make in bars. Well, that rules out work.
During races, The last thing I want to do is tip toe up to the prettiest girl in Lycra and ask for her number.
How the heck would that work?!
"Excuse me sir, I know you have a lot of body marking to do, but could I borrow your sharpee as I jot down this womans phone number?." I also just think it inappropriate. Nerves are already raised a bit. So in short, I have few chances to meet new women.

It really is time I start thinking along these lines again. My mom has been pressing the issue. I am really well past the hurt of my past. Many people I know have healthy relationships. I am once again healthy. So look out ladies, I'm on the prowl.

So you might be thinking,"where are you gonna find a date?. Where are you going to find somebody to have your coffee with?. In a city that seems like it has ten times more men than women, where are you going to meet a single woman?."

Well many of the friendships I have made over the past few years began right here in cyber space. It only makes sense. I ask myself where is everyone?. Now ask your self where are you right now? You are on the net. It is so obvious, but it just seems a little weird. So why not try. I am a little weird.

So I have put myself out there on one of those dating sites. My intentions are as obvious as my intension to race is while pulling on a wet suit.(Metaphor/pun completely unintentional, but I left it because it made me laugh)The point is, if you don't state what you want, nobody but you will ever know. So I have been seeing another site. Sorry blog land. I am glad I have you all to talk to about this stuff.

Anyhow, the early results are good. I have a plan for the coming week with a women. The best part is that whether or not a romantic click happens, I already know that this women is somebody in town I would like to talk with anyway. Not surprisingly, given the chance to review a personal profile and look for similar interests, you more than likely will meet somebody you have met or on the verge of meeting. Kinda funny how that works.

As I talk about romance and dating, I can't help but to take the cheap opportunity to remind you of my upcoming CD release party at AJ Rocco's on Valentines day. No worries about my prowling that night, I will be singin'.

The Beachland gig on the 10th will include the premier of my newest group. John Kuegler, the drummer is really excited. He is very talented, while possessing simular points of view as mine. He seems to be taking the lead. This is good.
