Wednesday night.

Ahem...
so today is Thursday.
To explain the drunken mumblings of last night i am finding that in my recently unemployed state that Wednesday nights are " the shit". Somehow the last two Wednesdays have left me fumbling around at 3 am, text-ing my mother telling her i will not be back for a while.
Luckily i made it home with my wallet this time.
But not without a fantastic story.

You see, I have this bad habit of being on time for things, which leads to curious encounters and generally looking like i have no friends.
Last night one gentleman noticed my solo bar stool experience and invited me to his table. Naturally my spidey sense said "uuuh, thanks but I'll just wait it out for my friends" but after watching him return to his table, where his buddy was sitting, I felt pretty dumb all alone... so i went and joined them.
We ended up shooting the shit for over 2 hrs, talking about their years in the film industry and where we all were in life. It was pretty awesome, and they proved to be legit gentlemen. Ian and Robert.
I was asking them about how they ended up with these jobs which they love so much, hoping to get some kind of clue as to how i can score a similar situation... but all got as an answer was " you will know after it happens". damn.

Ian was a set designer, and I think one of my favorite moments was when he was describing to me what he sees because of his profession:
" when i meet people, i end up immediately trying to understand what their world looks like, what they see... what they would want to see if they could have it any way they want..."
Very cool.

So eventually, I'm pretty sure it was far past Ian and Robert thinking i really dont have any friends, My buddies showed up and we all sat down together.
I find it amazing that so many people will dismiss others because of thier age or sex.

Your average toronto female would never go and sit down with two older men at a bar unless looking for drinks to be bought or some kind of compensation.... your typical toronto older male is not supposed to ask younger girls to join them unless they are creepy, horney and looking for sexual favors....

I love living an unusual life.

cheers to beers.

Post to come: what IS middle ground? how do you acheive it???
