Elephant parts
Had meetings up the wazoo today at work. I think "wazoo's" a medical term. Maybe I'll look it up in my Funk 'n Wagnalls...

Sock it to meeeee? Whoa...had a random Laugh-in moment there. Heh....
Met up with Michael for dinner at the Elephant Bar tonight. He's the guy I met online who has a band out here called Where's Moo. Had an awesome time with him. In the past few days, I've found that he and I have more common interests than I had initially thought. On top of it, he's a really nice guy and very funny. Without a doubt, this is one the better "first meetings" I have had in quite some time. Tonight, I also got a copy of his band's CD from him. Listening to it now as I type this. Good stuff...
It's interesting...As look upon tonight and the recent "first meetings" I've had in the past few weeks...I'd have to say that about 80% (if not more) of the people whom I'm really close with out here have been people I've met through the Internet be it through the game show newsgroup, chat rooms, Planetout, or even visitors to this website. Had an interesting conversation about this with my co-workers during lunch today and even touched upon it briefly with Michael during dinner.
One question that I was asked over lunch and actually that I'm asked quite often...Why do I meet people online instead of going out to clubs and bars? I guess part of it is that contrary to what some people think, I'm really a shy guy. I could never go up to a random person at a bar and introduce myself to them. On top of that, I have a fear of rejection in person both in the giving of it and receiving of it. I guess that with online, there's the veil of impersonality in which the rejection is a bit filtered and dulled to a degree. And another thing is that I find that if you're chatting with somebody online, there's more a focus on the words. Given that, I find that chatting is just a launching point. I always try to move it away from the computer and to the phone if I sense that there's some connection happening. But I unnecessarily wax philosophically....Wax on...wax off....
And finally...my favorite random E-mail of the day...I got an E-mail from somebody said that s/he really liked my website especially my game show section. Then s/he added that s/he and his/her friends were wondering if I was gay. I think by now, one can pretty much figure it out from my site? Riiiiight? Heh....It never ceases to be interesting....
