Pour Richard’s

Today I checked out Pour Richard's Coffee.  It's part of my "I don't know, I'm bored and have done pretty much everything there is to do in this area" phase of my life.

I guess I am just kind of bored.  I would move, and I will move, unless by some sort of miracle I end up meeting some girl and we end up happily ever after together living in this area raising a family and what not...

All that aside... I have to wait until after February of 2018.  Otherwise, I EAT it in taxes selling my mom's house (Which is now my house).

My plan is to eventually continue to downsize, and mobilize.  I guess ideally, I'd like to end up with just a smallish apartment and just move like once a year maybe?

Not sure yet.

What I do know is, I want lots of invested assets that produce income.  So, even if I just sit at a coffee shop and read a book all day every day... should I choose not to work...

I can just know that all my bills will be paid for by my investment income.

That is the dream.

No stress.  Just, sipping coffee... Preferably by a beach somewhere.

And maybe working on writing books... Or reading books.  Or just playing my guitar and a drumset and recording music in an apartment somewhere.  Preferably within walking distance to a main street with some bars and such that I can go have a drink and a good burger, and then head home and Netflix.

FOR NOW THOUGH...

I'm on my quest to visit new coffee shops that I've never visited before.  It blows my mind that I still find new things to do in this area.  I mean even in the last year I've been to beer festivals that I've never gone to, and coffee shops, and bars that I've never been at.

I took that acting class.  That was new.  I mean... the whole Science After Hours thing...

All new.

Crazy.

Like I said, I'd be more inclined to stay where I'm at if I could just meet someone...

But, I'm not having much luck in that department.

Oh well, it is what it is...

I'm still going on random dates from the dating site... None of them ever seem to pan out though.

I try to meet someone in real life but everyone I strike up a conversation with... Bar, coffee shops... Events... Festivals...

None of them are single.  And it's not just like they are kind of sort of seeing someone... They all are like... married, or they live with the person.

Like I said, it is what it is.

The best I can hope for is that once I do sell this house and move... Dating prospects might be better somewhere new.  I've been looking up potential new places to live... Seattle, Nashville... Boulder... Chicago... Somewhere in New England... Maybe San Diego...

Not sure yet.  I'd love to find the best city for 30 somethings...

I guess for now it's just kind of... Waste time doing things like find new coffee shops... and strike up conversations with married people.

And then check my phone and reply to the latest dating site conversation until she decides to stop responding.  Or we go on a date... It does happen from time to time.

Oh well... At least there's coffee right?

I go to the gym a lot lately too...  Just stuff to pass the time.

I feel like love probably isn't going to happen for me.  I'd definitely settle for just a kiss with someone new. I'd be up for that.  Right now, that's probably my dating goal.

Just someone to kiss.  I won't even bother thinking long range.

Just, a kiss would be cool.

Or, even just someone to have coffee with.  Although not someone married... that be weird if I went on a coffee date with a married person.

I've kind of done that before.  It's weird.  To be fair though... I didn't know she was married.  But that's a story for another time.  That's like the time I went on a movie date with a girl, who I was setup with, who then brought along her new boyfriend.

Dating is such a train wreck to be honest.  I'd rather just explore new coffee shops and sit there sipping down coffee and getting a good coffee buzz going and working on stuff on my laptop.  Or reading.  Or just people watching.  Soo... That's my plan.  Find as many new coffee shops as I can, and get all hopped up on caffeine.

Plus... The latest research indicates coffee is good for you in all capacities.  So... I don't even have to feel bad sitting there slurping away!
