Kismet...um er yeah that might be it
So today I got an e-mail from a really good friend of mine (and fellow namesake). She informed me through this e-mail that a man I had met back at the end of October/ early November at one of Cleveland's popular watering holes, prior to the John Kerry rally, (for those of you who want a glimpse back check out this post) has apparently been trying to get my phone number/get in touch with me!!!!!!
(OH REALLY!)
If I remember him correctly (and trust me I do) - he was cute, educated and a Kerry backer. Yes I was a bit put off by the way he reacted to my friends being there when they in fact were voting for Bush - but tensions were (still are)running high at that time and you can't blame a man for standing up for his beliefs (it means he has a spine).
The reason why I entitled this post Kismet is because a friend of mine and I were just having a conversation yesterday about how sad it is that the only way we seem to meet people anymore for dating purposes is on the Internet - not the old-fashioned way (like at a friend's house, or being introduced through friends). My friend actually suggested that people meet in places like bookstores and groceries - but I have to tell you folks even if I were to meet someone in a bookstore or grocery I am not sure I'd be too keen on giving them my phone number right off the bat. I mean there are a lot of wackos out there. This is why, (as my friend was so quick to point out) we have resorted to the internet or dating services instead of meeting people 'in person'. Oh sure, I am certain people still meet at bars (which is where I met this guy - but we weren't there to just be at the bar - because I am not into meeting guys at bars at all). So I truly believe this is a good sign for me, fate if you will - that there are no coincidences (although I really want to know why I am just now hearing of this) - still it was a bright note to my day.
We shall see. Send some positive energy my way kids.

i cant imagine the world without it (l'internet) .. :o) - max
People managed to get by for tens of thousands of years without an internet. Although it has altered the world forever. I'm just not sure if it's for the better or the worse. In one respect it's made the world smaller. I have an email penpal I write to often who I'd have never met without the internet. On the other hand, it separates us from each other. Words on a screen are not a person.
