dating

I went on a date on Saturday with one of the girls I was talking to. She is 25 years old, her name is Paulina and she is from Poland. She only moved to Denver from Poland 3 years ago but she speaks pretty good English. Yes there is definitely a cultural difference and sometimes she doesn't totally understand me but I feel we communicate well and she seems to have quite a bit in common with me. One of the thing that surprised me is that she likes the same kind of music as me which is mainly rock from the 90's like Nirvana, Pearl Jam, and Soundgarden. She is going to school her on some kind of scholarship program for foreign students. She said she didn't have a chance to go to University in Poland because she didn't have the money so she had to work in a factory and constantly apply for scholarships. She is very bright and was able to finally win one and she has been going to school here in Denver for 3 years now and is almost finished her MBA. I am not sure what she intends to do with her MBA once she has graduated but whatever she should do well in life which is cool.

I met her at a coffee shop instead of taking her out for dinner because I thought we were gonna have a huge language barrier going on and I didn't want to be in a stuffy environment like a restaurant if that happened. Of course it turned out otherwise and we had a great time chatting over coffee about our very different lives. She told me that all of her family is still in Poland and that they all work at the same factory that she worked at. It didn't sound like they were completely miserable, in fact she said they are a very humble family and even though they don't have much, the family was always happy and very loving etc having big dinners together with relatives etc on a constant basis. She said she had a boyfriend back in Poland but left him when she moved here. She said she had met a few guys here that she was going to school with but because she was older than everyone else she kept meeting younger guys and nothing ever worked out for her. At the end of the date we shared a nice kiss in the parking lot and we have been chatting online ever since. I am going to be taking her out for dinner this weekend.

Chalk up another one on the big board.

Last night I met a new girl to fall in love with me. Her name is Samantha and she is a Virgo just like me. She loves punk rock music and so do I (not). Everything that she said she likes or loves I just said yeah I love that too. Which means that now I have to watch the tv show True Blood cuz I told her I loved that show and watched it all the time. Everytime she said what do you think about this about the show or what do you think of that I just gave some answer like "yeah totally". She is 24 years old and isn't as naive as the other two girls but she is still not smart enough to catch on to my insincerity. She said that family is really important to her and that she has 6 brothers and she is the only female. To me this is a huge challenge and will make things much more interesting when I go over to her place for dinner and have to get grilled by all her brothers. I bet you I can dupe them all into believing that I really do love their sister. What the fuck is love anyways? I believe that love is a just a misinterpreted electrical impulse produced by the human brain. I think that society breeds a race of people with unrealistic expectations. When we are young, we see the world in such a different light. We think that anything is possible and that love can conquer all obstacles. It isn't until you grow up and experience firsthand the cruel duality of man that you get a much clearer picture of how things work. Some people get extremely depressed when they come to realize this and other people turn to self medicating by doing drugs like smoking pot or drinking booze. I meet quite a few people who don't have a very good memory. I am lucky to be blessed with an exceptional memory. I feel sorry for those people with a shitty memory because they don't get to hold on to all the good memories they have from their childhood etc. Of course life is a double edged sword and that means I don't get to forget all the bad memories I have. I can only try and work on blocking out those negative memories and trying to just focus on the positive ones. At least I have something to work with... at least I have a chance unlike those people who simply forget everything. They say ignorance is bliss and I guess if you forget shit all the time than that would be similar to ignorance. I am starting to go off on a few tangents here. I am gonna end things here for now and go take a shower. I will make sure I don't have any big gaps in between my posts from now on because I know you guys are eager to hear how things are going, at least I assume that you are.
