I caved.

I couldn't take it anymore. I had to do it.

I had to do it in order to move ahead with my life.

I did this with deep shame and embarrassment, but it was necessary.

And I know I'm going to lose respect from some of you cats reading this now, but understand that I was aware of the consequences and decided that it was still the best course to take.

I'm talking about, of course, is online dating.

So, yeah. I signed up for OKCupid about a couple of weeks ago. Before that I was on PlentyofFish.com, but aside from getting a phone number out of the deal, nothing much.

OKCupid, however, is just fucking awesome! I'm sorry, but those guys are like weird geniuses. After I signed in and filled out my profile, I was matched up with people that I would actually hook up with in real life. I was impressed. It's better than Plentyoffish where it was basically, "OK, he's black so let's match him up with other black chicks." Then proceed to get me black chicks that I have nothing in common with. In case you're wondering, I tend to lean toward artsy, smart ladies that have a dash of eccentricity in them, because I want us to be weird together, ya know?

Last week, I went on a date with this one girl I met at Exit over the weekend. When I first met her, she was, admittedly, drunk and let it slip out that she prefers black guys. Um, ok. I thought she was cute, so whatever. Besides, I figured she'll get to know the real me after a while. I'm such a dreamer.

Anyway, we met at Montrose Harbor last week. All we did was walk along the lake. I couldn't really say it was a date because she had her friend with her, and both had their dogs with them. He seemed pretty cool. I wasn't scared he was gonna cock block because he was gay. In fact, he showed me pictures when he in drag. He looked really cute. Plus, and I don't remember how we came to talking about this, but me and him were talking about "cruising", gay sex, BDSM(I know a couple of dommes) and Charlie Chaplin. Homegirl admitted to wanted to become a domme and I told about some people that can hook her up if she was serious about it.

Oh yeah. And she wanted to see if I was offended that she said she preferred black guys, and I said no. Though I was surprised that she said that. Um, I'm honored, I guess?

So the weekend consisted of me going to shows. Awesome! The first was an all-night event with punk, rock, and hip hop band performing, along with a dance party in a room that was attached to the stage. It was all right. My boy's band, Por Mi Culpa, played. A pit was started and all the kids had their fun. Sunday had another show at Rancho Heuvos. Por Mi Culpa played, again, along with Condenada. Condenada playing was cool because the singer flew in from California to play. She was from here but moved to California to work at Maximum RockN N'Roll. It was pretty good time.

I'm trying to keep it short, but I failed. But at least you got to read "gay sex" and Charlie Chaplin in the same sentence.
