Sunsets are as good as sunrises


iTunes is playing: Bei Mir Bist Du Schon (part 1) - Benny Goodman - Clarinet a' la king
I really oughta sleep now. It's Thursday, how the week's flown by. Next thing you know, it'll be Friday. Next thing you know, bugger, it's been years, what have I done with my life? Earlier in the evening, I went and met up with the boys for drinks and a spot of clubbing (yes, I know, it's becoming a regular habit). We met at Siam Supper Club first, 'cos one of us says 'there are hot chicks there'. Our loser genes kick in and we mill around the bar there, where all the stools are taken. At the bar are young women in groups of two or three, possibly in their early or late twenties, I can't really tell. Adjacent to or near them are men, in their twenties, in shirt, loosened tie and work pants, in groups of two, three, four or more. The boys and I concur that both species are there hoping the other will 'pick them up'. Both species seem interested in the other. The women really seem to be waiting. The men, waiting too. Meantime, the Siam Supper Club makes a ton of money selling drinks that will make both bold enough to make a move. The men are young professionals. Work their arses off in the financial sector, as they call it. They have five year plans. These five year plans, together with their shirts, loosened ties and work pants, seem to impress the young women no end. I hope he chats me up. He sounds like he has a five year plan. Me and me mates, in our thirties, t-shirts, jeans and sneakers, have a five minute plan. We order a beer each, finish it and move on out of the Supper Club 'cos we're afraid we're gonna get shown up if we're asked what our five year plans are. So, do you have a five year plan? Course I do. I left it at home though. Wanna come see? Edit: Cowboy Caleb thinks sunsets are much more appealing than sunrises though. Edit, edit: This post keeps on giving: this time from a 20 something female's point of view.

You are so damn wrong about this. It's the exact opposite of what you think.

You 30somethings are stealing all the women! That's why us 20somethings don't get no women until we're 30somethings!

Anyway I blogged about your post.

When you're tired from work, and had a little drink, the green always seems grassier on the other side. And yes, LMD has her fun at the misfortune of boys who will forever find her unattainable, because she's set her standards so lofty. She's all for the 40 somethings that don't even have to go into the club/pub. Those that only have to drive by in their Ferrarerati, wind down the windows to let the women crawl in, driver's side, into their laps.

Cowboy - I am not playing the both of you. The both of you obviously get the women, irregardless of your age.

Mr Miyagi - I am very offended with your comment. I do not crawl into their laps. They should be the ones crawling into my lap.

Sorry, no offence intended. OK. "The 40 something who opens the door on the passenger side, so he can crawl into your lap".

LMD is like the winter queen. Desirable yet unattainable.

All men have to grovel at her feet.
