Flakes from CL nevah cease

So perhaps you remembah These Guys from back in August. If you are lazy n don't feel like clicking, in this blog ah chronicled a very long (as in 3 and a half weeks) correspondence whar some dude from craigslist who needed a bass player pretty much flaked all ovah tha place. Specifically, he didn't call me three times on tha days we were supposed toa meet until a couple hours aftah our intended meet time, n then told me ah was too busy ta play in his band. Ah thought ah ended up dodgin a bullet actually n 3 days latah joined Wee the Band, who dae have thar shit togetha as indicated by my previous post.

Anyway, last nite ah gawt an email from this guy sayin he had some gigs comin up n was hopin ah could fill in. Obviously, that answer is a big fat "no", altho ah kinda feel like completely ignorin tha email since this guy is such a flake. Howevah, ah did check out tha myspace he linked me to ta see how his band ended up and well....

Ah'll let you hear fer yerself, but won't post tha name of tha group as ah dont want this blog ta show up on any google searches. Check em out here.

Ok, ahll toss in my two cents - they suck. Hard. As in, ah can't even listen to a whole song of theirs. Tha guitarist/"singer" is tha guy who gawt in touch w. me, n well, you ken listen ta how his vocals are (in his words) "not too bad." Ahd hate ta hear a singer he thinks is no good....

Fired up

So, about a month or so ago, ah decided it was time ta bite tha bullet. Yes, ahd tampered w. Crazy Blind Date in tha past, but that was easy, nae commitment, lil effort. But ah surveyed how my datin experience had been werkin within my limited circle out here, n decided ah needed ta branch out. In daein so, ah embraced tha concept n practice of online dating.

Skeptically (my first real girlfriend found me on myspace - oy), ah first went to tha LIST, figuring that at least tha list would be desperate, so ahd prolly git a few decent stories out of it. Ah thought (incorrectly) that by usin craigslist, ahd be cutting through tha bullshit. Ah was wrong. Those craigslist girls don't write back, at least nawt more then once er twice. Hah, tha most response ah gawt was to my two RANTS in which ah posted an ad, but really bitched about how shallow they were. That sure taught em!

Aftah that mishap, ah ended up signin ontae one otha datin site (won't link it, but ahll give so many hints its impossible ta ignore - it's free, it's nationwide, and it's got all these personality tests) n have met w. ups n downs. Originally, ah felt class-a ignored, but recently thangs have turned around a lil bit. In fact, tha online datin thang has resulted in 4 dates in 4 week days. It's almost a little daunting.

Anyway, don't expect too many juicy details, but ah dae promise ta try n let people know about how this particular social experiment is daein in vague n quantitative terms.

Oh - and I'm growing a beard next week. Git excited fer my next beard!

hahahah

perhaps, its nawt tha most productive way ta spend my time, but here is a summarization of what happened w. those guys ah nevah jammed with (thanks gmail!).
