That's what I'm feeling now......Back in the saddle again. Kinda like the AC/DC song. I'm back in the saddle again.....Movin' on. For the first time in a long time I went to the bar, and didn't have to fight the urge to get lit up. I realized the other day that the bar needs me, I don't need it. So I went in, shot some pool (and did very well!!) and went home. Just sitting there shooting pool, I realized that I didn't have to do anything to impress girls, they just came to me, and, in retrospect, they always have, but I blew them off.....trying to save a relationship that I was told (by her, but not verbally) wasn't salvageable. It was really cool to just hang out, not get drunk, not having to stop somewhere on the way home, not feel woozy, not get drunk at all, and still have a good time. I just wish I'd have realized it a long time ago, I'd have saved a LOT of $$$$. Anyhow, I was going to Aikido tonight (my martial art,) and there was a mega wreck on one of the highways, and the only way around was through a neighborhood, and it wasn't a nice one, so I just headed back home. On the way back, a newer friend of mine calls, and she was really upset. One of her close friends died today. He was in a car wreck last night, and due to the injuries to his head and neck, didn't last the day. I didn't know what to tell her. All I could say was "I'm sorry." What else can you say??? So we talked for awhile, and she started talking about other things, and so I let her go.....she'll be fine. Really cool story as to how I met her.....She was the photographer's assistant at my sister's wedding this weekend. We hit it off, and she ended up wearing my suit coat during the whole reception to keep warm. It was really funny, most of my family was asking what was going on between us, because we were talking all night, and she was wearing my coat. She turned out to just be a really cool girl. Relly nice, really sweet, and just a nice person to hang out with....I can't wait to go dancing with her again!
