**Take a peek at yesterday for day#1 of the Baltimore Experience**
So today I would definetly have to classify as the evening of live music. It started with my walk down to the inner harbor where I was greated by the sounds of Ken Heeter, www.kenheetersings.com . He was playing "take me home (country road)" as I walked up and then proceeded to lay down some quality tunes by Johnny Cash, Billy Joel, Jimmy Buffet, and more I can't recall. He even played a tune I hadn't heard in forever "Pooh Corner" by Logins and Massina (sp?) It was definetly a sweet way to eat dinner and just chill out.
Then on my way home I spotted a group of young folk heading to a bar with some instruments and thought I'd just go check it out and see whats up. When into a sweet irish style bar and it was an open mic night. Got to hear some sweet tunes but the last guy I listend to just made the evening. The bands page is www.myspace.com/pasadenamusic the guy was just doing solo stuff but it was just some sweet, chill, hang'n out tunes. I definetly suggest checking them out.
As usual music made me start just thinking about things and a few things definetly popped into my head....
1) at 25 i feel like i'm going through things i should have settled at like 21-22. Since I've graduated I feel like i've been struggling to identify myself as something. Or at least define myself to myself. (if that makes any sense) I spent so much time thinking of myself as an oarsman that now that I'm not rowing I've been having issues trying to figure out just who I am and well...I feel like this should have been figured out by now.
2) I miss being social/having some sort of social life. Granted I've never been a huge social butterfly, but there is just seems to be such an utter lack of activity in DE that I wish I had something to do besides sit at home every night. Not only that...but when did everyone my age end up in a relationship?? or at least my friends??? Seriously, I am lacking single friends to go and do shit with and its frankly quite annoying.
3) I'm an awesome person...I know that this sounds cocky, but seriously I think I'm an awesome person. Most certainly not the best person in the world.. not even the most awesome person to know...but i'm certainly awesome. Now why dont more women realize this?
4) As hard as I may try, playing the role of the jaded cynic doesn't suit me. It isnt me. I like to believe that all people are good on the inside. I like to think that everyone will have a happy ending. I like to think that relationships are good to be in (with the right person) and that there really is someone out there for me. Whether or not I'm ready for that someone is a completely different story, but in the meantime is it really so much to ask that I could find someone to date or even garner interest from the opposite sex? I'm most likely not ready for a serious romance....but hell, I dont think I'm out of line for wanting to have some female companionship/contact. I mean, we all need to get some right??
anyway, time to sleep and get ready for day #3

ditto for everything except #4. I'm a natural born cynic.
