Sex Versus Beer and Conversation

Would I like to have sex?  Yes.  Oh gosh... Yes.  Can I have sex?  No.  Sadly.  Not since Trump became president.  I'm pretty certain that I won't be able to hit on woman for the next few years until someone else becomes president.

Trump has made dating or any interaction with women downright impossible until he's no longer president.

Oh well.  It is what it is.  It's been a good year and half so far.  And you know, it's not horrible without sex.  Would I like sex?  Yeah.  Am I okay without it?  Eh.  I'm fine.

This is why there's beer.  Basically, I go out a lot... I drink beer a lot, I have conversations with interesting guys a lot.

It's not too bad.  If someone were to say to me... That's all you're going to get for the rest of your life and you'll never be able to have sex again...

I'd say... Eh, at least there's beer and conversation...

And and at least I have a million dollars in the bank.

What?

I mean... okay... So that's not entirely true... My net worth is more like I'm a 900 thousandaire.  But, the point is... That's a lot of beer money.

My thing is... Should some woman decide to hit on me, I would be a resounding yes.  But given our current political environment, I'm not even going to so much as bother trying to hit on any women at all.  Forget it.  It's just that kind of situation where no woman so much as even wants to be smiled at in public by any man who isn't already her husband.

But can you blame any of them?

Certainly not.

SO my thing is... Heck, I might just have 3 or 4 beers every night of the week now.  But to be honest, it's only because I'm single, and 35 and have no one to come home to.

Would I trade never having a drink ever again to meet that special someone?  You bet.

It is what it is.

Anyways so, the second best thing I settle for is booze and conversation with some intersting dudes.

Tonight I got to chat  with a guy who helps run the Macy's Day parade.  He was a cool guy.  I started talking to him after this running club thing.  Basically we run and then we drink beer.  It's every Thursday night.  I love it so far.  I'll probably be there pretty much every Thursday.  Some people show up some weeks and not others.  Some are there EVERY week.  I'm trying to be there most weeks.  It's just something to do.  You know?

So, anyways.  I'm curious to know how the conversations go each week.  It's like you can't predict what will happen from one week to the next.

Oh and last night I tired to go to this open mic, which I thought was at Split Rail in West Chester.  It turns out it was at Box Car Brewing... I mean they are both train related names.

This week wasn't bad.  I had some good beer and good food.  And I also got a lot written in my book.  Next week I'll be at Box Car.

Play a few songs, hang out... Have a few beers.

Life is good.

Woud I trade it all to have sex?  Oh my god, yes.  Can I trade it all??  No.  It's not my decision.

It's up to whatever woman decides to consent to me.  That could be in the next week, it could be in the next year, it could be in the next decade, and it could be never.

So, in the mean time... I drink beer and then get into interesting conversations with other dudes.  Such is life.

Like I said before, at least I've got money in the bank and I'm single.  I could not be a 900 thousandaire and still be just single... At least I've got a nice amount of beer money in the bank so I can consume an adequate amount of beer to forget how painfully single I am.

But it's okay.  I'd rather spend an night drunk and in some random conversation with some dude than to be with a woman who didn't consent to us being with one another.
