UGH

After having a terrible day at work... as I was on the highway home a tractor trailer sped by me knocking snow onto my windsheild and causing me to drift into a snow/ice patched which made me start spinning across the highway and into a snowbank. I was airborne for a little bit which is why my car is like that almost on it's side.

I am ok. Very sore. It was VERY scary.

I am happy I am ok and only have to deal with what may be wrong with the undercarrige of my Jeep.

So.... when will Karma start to go my way?

Strange Situation

There are times when you realize how small the world can be when it comes to friends and friends of friends.

For example, my best friend growing up moved away in 8th grade. Years went by and while I was in college I was at a party at Lehigh. I ran into a girl I went to high school with and ended up running into Danyelo at the same party. When I started working at my last job, I ran into a guy I worked with 7 years beforehand in Orlando who was Danylo's best friend from high school.

It's a lot of randomness that for some reason get's connected. We have all had those moments. I had one of those moments last night that delt with a friend, a friends ex and a guy I have been chatting with online.

It's weird when two worlds collide.

So there's this guy...

When is it too soon to call or text someone? Everyone has their own opinion. My friend S says that I should text the day after meeting to be pleasent and then follow up with a call when it feels right. I have tried not to get anxious and spazzy, but alas, sometimes it happens. (Sorry JR... I should have been stronger)

In the last post I talked about this guy I met. Since that posting I had talked with him via text and Facebook. We had a short phone convo as well because he was not up to going out one night. He has since fallen off the face of the Earth.

Granted he is a PhD canidate at an Ivy League intitution of higher learning but seriously, how hard is it for one text?

I still don't understand this whole dating thing and how guys can pass up a good thing. It's just inspiration to keep working harder.

Back... in a groove?

First off--- The Giants SUCKED yesterday. The play calling was terrible and I really just don't want to think about it.

Now, for my weekend, sans Giants depression. I got into a groove this weekend thanks to my friend S.

I was out with friends at a hockey game Friday night when my buddy S texted me asking if I wanted to head to a gay bar in New Haven later on. I didn'nt feel like driving so he said he would pick me up.

S and I have a long history. We met in college and had a drunken night of making out... but remained friends with no hooking up. S is in great shape and is always in a relationship. 3 months, 1 year, always not single.

So I decided to head out and hit the bar. S has had a recent streak of bad luck. His boyfriend broke up with him, lost his new iPhone, crashed his car and lost his job... all in 4 days.

We get there, have a few drinks and the night is starting to look like it's going to be a good one. Now, CT isn't exactly the best place to meet guys. I did however meet 3 new friends with one who has potential.

We are hanging out by the dance floor and our friend A introduces us to a former neighbor of his, Z.

Z is pretty much everything I look for in a guy. Smart, funny, athletic, into sports, hot... but he has a bf. His bf was also awesome and Canadian which made it an even better night because we talked some hockey.

Later on that night, this guy R shows up. Apparently, before Z and his bf started dating, they had had some fun together. R is starting to venture out of his closet and is an awesome athletic guy. He was a varsity swimmer as an undergrad and is now doing his doctoral work at some Ivy school near by.

We talked the entire night, laughed, talked sports and exchanged numbers.

It was a good night to get into a groove with meeting a guy. It's all about confidence and reminded me of when I would hit the bars with Cooper and Billy in NYC.

R and I texted over the weekend and he wants to hang out soon. We'll see how it goes.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year! The end of 2008 wasn't all I thought it was going to be. I had been debating on what to do for NYE and decided to head up to my buddies. I went against my gut feeling and went.
Now, is it what I wanted New Years to be? No. While I don't regret going, I do wish it was different. At one point I realized I was the 10th Wheel of a party full of couples. Not even a cute straight guy to hit on.
Next year, depending on how the year finishes I will head into New York and have a NYC New Years I never had even when I lived there.
I have had some interesting developments over the last 5 days. I don’t want to jinx anything so I am hoping falls into place.
