Dostoyevskey, Tolstoy, Perestroika. Nyet.
I met Ana at a company financial training session about a couple of years ago. She was a smoking hot Russian girl who ended up sitting next to me. We lightly flirted during the entire course. The course was predominately for managers, except for a few executive assistant types like her. We were dumbfounded by some of the questions that were being asked by the participants, and joked about...

With or without you - U2
Life's a beach...
I haven’t written because everything feels a bit pointless. I’m not even sure why I’m doing this blog. Nothing out of the ordinary has really happened to cause me to get into this state of mind. It’s probably because the accumulation of events has worn me out.
My “big date” with Nat went extremely well. As well as can be…for maybe a pair of long lost...

I'll ride with you..
Today’s another potential big day. I’m meeting Nat after work tonight and taking a bit of a bike trek. I think tonight will cement the fact that I will either have a chance or I will remain in the dreaded friend zone. In all probability nothing will likely happen and I should bring a portable chair to the friend zone. I actually had a difficult time sleeping thinking about this last...

The Annual Fair
It has been about just under a week since I last emailed Nat. Due to IT issues between both of us and because of the long weekend, the emails have slowed down to a crawl. At one point I thought she had decided to stop writing me. I thought it was strange as nothing had transpired that would have led me to think otherwise and decided to call her to see how things were, only to get her voice...

Party like a rock star.
I know who I am. I am the average guy. I’m so average, I even come from an average race. At 5’8 I’m of average height (at least world height average, more specifically for my race). Average looks. Average intelligence — well if you eliminate all the world rednecks. When I mean rednecks, I don’t just mean those from Alabama. Even though I’m of Chinese decent, I...

No no! Not yet! Quick, sound the alarms, all shields up! Scotty I need all the power to the engines stat. *sigh*
Nat: I want to be fair to you…
Steady.. keep it together, you’ve been through this before. She’s nothing special. Just because you’ve already dreamt about her, spent hours writing e-mails to her, fantasized about what she’d be like.. in bed.. on a...
You Spin Me Round - Dead or Alive
Its either you or me not me or you...
During my lifetime I’ve heard my share of “ummm no thanks”. Usually it starts with a deep breath, and followed by “listen…”. If they’re nice about it, you’ll get it in person, otherwise it’s either a quick phone conversation or better yet email. Some offer a range of reasons, others are more to the point “it’s not going to...
Take the Skinheads Bowling - Camper Van Beethoven
Of gutters and strikes.
Traffic was killer the Thursday night before the Easter long weekend. To make matters worse the restaurant was packed. “Thee Asian Kitchen” is one of my go to restaurants for dates. It’s not because its anything special, but because it offers a variety of dishes, looks decent, and you can get a seat fairly quickly. The service has always been horrible, but overall it was just...

Ugh! Chicken Feet and other bad dates.
I’ve had some terrible first dates. Some were caused by the other person, and some admittedly were caused by me. If it’s caused by me, usually its because of my attempt at humor or I’m trying too hard. Trying too hard is a killer, it makes you seem all desperate and well as I’ve discovered, you don’t want to date someone who likes desperate anyways. That story...

The First Date
I hate first dates! I hate them with a passion. First dates are even worse with people you’ve met online or a random pickup. If you met through a non dating related activity, at least you have a chance to get to know each other without the dating stigma. You can quickly find out whether there’d be a chance or not without suffering the ups and downs of emotions and potential...

How Soon Is Now?
“There’s a club if you’d like to go you could meet somebody who really loves you so you go, and you stand on your own and you leave on your own and you go home, and you cry and you want to die.” - The Smiths
Maybe the problem is I became a Smiths fan at an early age and I was destined to live out this life? As a precaution, I’d recommend that if you have a child,...

Mixed up...
To get over my devastation about discovering my current “romantic interest’s” blog regarding sleeping with another guy, I decided to go out and attend a “single’s mixer” party that I discovered off a website. Am I at that stage to be going to “mixers”?!?! I mean, arn’t they for divorced 50 somethings? Anyways, this one was geared towards...

Why am I here?
The reason I’m starting this blog is because I accidentally discoved a blog of someone I’m currently interested in romantically. She’s a writer/poet and I was merely trying to do a search to find out what she had previously written and what was published. I did a simple google search that revealed several of pieces along with her personal blog. I hadn’t really given it...
The Start - Where am I?
Right here unfortunately.
