If you couldn't tell from my profile name I am an 80's rocker. I'm Mike I play the bass. I've played since the 70's and still play but the 80's were the golden age for me. Touring, traveling, and living it up with no worries! The stories I could tell... and will, to the best of my recollection. HaHa. The stories are true. The names have been changed because I either never knew their names or forgot. Enjoy my escapades. I did!

Lonely Man lives alone. He eats alone and sleeps alone. He wakes up alone, showers alone, and drinks his morning coffee alone. He drives his car to work alone, in a stream of vehicles all going their own direction. He works in a building with hundreds of other people but somehow spends most of his time working alone. He shops alone. He watches TV alone. He drinks alone.
Lonely Man pretends he likes being alone. He pretends that he enjoys making decisions based on his wants alone. No one to compromise with, no one to have to share with. He can choose what and when he eats and drinks. He can stay up all night and sleep all day if he wants. He can leave the bed unmade. He can leave the toilet seat up or down and leave dirty dishes in the sink for a week with no one to nag him. He pretends this is a wonderful life. Lonely Man is a castaway, on his little tiny island in the middle of the city. Deep inside Lonely Man does not want to be alone.

Lonely Man wasn't always alone. He had been happily married for a few years and was surprised to find out she wasn't, and wanted a divorce. After the initial shock wore off he got used to living alone again and enjoyed the freedom of being alone. Lately though he has had a feeling. Something was missing. The enjoyment of being alone has now turned into loneliness. How much of his freedom that comes with living alone is he willing to sacrifice in exchange for companionship? He abhors the thought of being an old man sitting on a park bench with a lap for a companion. However the remembrance of the lost years of marriage are a constant and cruel reminder.
Lonely Man understands that all women are not like his ex-wife; he tries not to make comparisons. However the subsequent relationships he developed eventually became shorter, shallower, and further apart. His last three relationships lasted less than a year and were two to three years apart. With each failure his standards change and with the particularities of these changes, his loneliness becomes more apparent.

Lately I've become obsessed with dating sites. I'm starting to feel like an anthropologist, studying the female dating profile. I'm becoming less interested in looking for a woman and more interested in what she is looking for.
I enjoy reading your profiles, regardless of whether we are not a match or will never meet. However, every once in awhile I'll read a blog post or a profile from a woman wherein she describes the follies and fallacies of men and their profiles. You've seen them. "Why do you think I want to see your dick?" type profiles; or the "Read my profile completely before emailing me" profiles. That's great. My dick is special and I don't show it to everybody and I'm going to read your profile completely and maybe even email you just to tell you I read it completely, regardless if I meet your criteria.
Now don't misunderstand me. I love women, they are mysterious, beautiful, and challenging. I enjoy them in all their perfections and imperfections and enjoy reading their profiles.
I've viewed hundreds of profiles on various dating sites. Some are well written, some fake and generic, and there are those that fall in between.
Here is a small compilation of excerpts from these profiles that fall somewhere in between:
Funrealisticgirl: Looking for a fun, friendly, person?
Would you consider a Saurian?
I am a country girl!!! I like all kinds of mixed music!!! Except !!! I go dancing a lot on Saturday nights!!! After work I go to the gym and do Zumba and workout!!!
With so many exclamation points I can only assume she would be a really exciting date
.
SWEETCANDYCAROL: SINGLE AND READY TO MINGLE!!!!
I'M THE TYPE OF PERSON WHO IS ENERGETIC AND LOVE THE OUTDOORS. GARDENNG, HIKING AND SWIMMING ARE MY FAV. LOOKING FOR A PARTNER TO PARTICIPATE IN MY ENDEAVORS. I LIKE TO TRAVEL, DANCE AND LISTEN TO A VARIETY OF MUSIC. MY PARTNER MUST BE ABLE TO HANDLE AN A WOMAN WHO LIKES TO PAMPER AND SPOIL. I LOVE TO COOK FOR THAT SPECIAL SOMEONE. IM VERY AFFECTIONATE AND LIKE TO BE HUGGED. I LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING FROM YOU.
She sounds like a more exciting date than exclamation point girl... or wrote this in a very noisy place. So many caps I nearly missed the spelling, punctuation, and syntax errors.
I am a cute and humerous girl.
I'm not sure if the spelling error is intended but she obviously has a funny bone.
First off, my headline is usually a lyric line of a song. I'm not much for some catchy phrase to get you on the hook
Hmmm. Isn't a lyric line of a song usually a "catchy phrase" or aka a hook.
Live well,laugh,often,love,much.....
I love sports football nascar fishing lake Trips Bikes dine in or out working out walks festivals movies family gathering music concerts Rock country Jazz blues.... Right company or patrner iam laid back Easy going Just want a caring loveable man to share my life with Honest and good Heart not a player serious..
Comma, confused
Are you the ying to my yang?
No. But I could be the yang to your yin.
I am looking for a man that has brown hair or black and that is atleast 6'0 feet tall. With pretty brown wys
Looking for Herman Munster
I am looking for a tall honest sincere man. A nice smile and big shoulders are very attractive 
Also looking for Herman Munster

The Strangest Thing Happened The Other Night: An 80SROCKR Escapade

Well not really the strangest thing, that's just to attract your attention.
I was at my favorite place: The All Star Bar and Grille (Shout out to the owners Riz and Eric) last Saturday.
There were several bands playing and as the night wore on I wandered outside to the patio. My friend Riz was out there at a table, talking to some people and he waved me over and I joined them. I found myself sitting next to a woman who was there with her friend, who's boyfriend was the drummer in a band playing that night. Introductions were made and I found myself in a conversation with Stacy, the usual what do you do, etc. She writes articles for finance websites. We all know what I do.
The conversation was flowing between 5 or 6 of us and I felt a connection with Stacy but did not want to be an aggressive pussy hound and kept my conversation intellectual. However when Riz got up and left the table Stacy and I had a minute or so alone.
That's when the strangest thing happened.
If you've read my blog you may have read my humorous FUQs:
Stacey asked me with all sincerity Question #7:
You are awesome. Why are you still single?
My answer: Uhhh. I don't know...because I'm so awesome?
She was not completely satisfied with that answer but yet not turned off. The conversation changed for a minute but she asked again. So I turned the question back to her. Her answer?
A very honest "I'm a bitch and hard to live with." I should have used that....
My reply: I love a challenge.
By now a spark was created.We started leaning in toward each other, touching hands, shoulders, legs. The usual attraction signals.
Now comes the buzzkill! Came with girlfriend, must leave with girlfriend. I managed to give Stacy my cell number but not get hers.
I realize she had beer goggles on but I hope they weren't that foggy. If she calls me, awesome. If she doesn't... well I'm still awesome, she's still awesome. Both of us single a little longer.
Why am I still single?
Mike

Chronicles Of Lonely Man: Lonely Man And The Laundry Room

It was laundry night for Lonely Man. If he were lucky the laundry room wouldn't be filled with busy moms and screaming . He lived in a medium sized apartment complex with laundry rooms in each building. He usually use the one in his building but the washers were out of order so he decided to use the one in the adjacent building. He loaded the machine and glanced at his surroundings. Not much different than the one he uses.
There was a book rack on the wall and he saw a familiar orange book cover. It was Ray Bradbury's The Illustrated Man. It was his favorite book as a . He remembered carrying it around in his back pocket for an entire summer. He would sit under a tree at the park around the corner from his house and get lost in the stories the tattoos weaved. Sometimes a girl about his age would be at the park playing with her little sister, but he saw them as a distraction to his reading at the time. Constantly screaming and chasing each other, sometime almost tripping over his stretched out legs. He wondered what ever had become of her.
He picked up the book and thumbed through it, settling on his favorite story "the Rocket Man". The washer buzzed so he put down the book and tossed his clothes in the dryer and returned to the book. Finished with the one story he flipped through and settled on "Marionettes, Inc." The dryer beeped just as he was finishing that story so he set the book down and folded his clothes. He loaded up is basket and headed back to his apartment leaving the book behind.
As he rounded the corner and disappeared into the darkness she walks up, pushes the door open with her ass and plops her basket in front the washer machine. She normally doesn't use this laundry room but the washers in her building were out of order. She loads the washer and looks around. It is not much different than the one in her building save for a book rack on the wall. She sees a familiar book with an orange cover; a seated man covered in tattoos. She remembered as a taking her younger sister to the park and watching her as she played. She would also watch a cute boy sitting under a tree at that park, reading the same book. She would wonder why it was so interesting that he was completely oblivious to her, even though she was usually in the periphery of his vision on purpose, playing tag with her sister, chasing balls, and sometimes nearly tripping over his feet just to get him to notice her.
Wondering what had become of that boy and why he found the book so interesting, she settled into a chair and flipped it open, unaware of the adventures that were to unfold.

I'm sure this question has been asked before. Just not be me. Actually three questions.
What is the farthest you have traveled to meet someone you met online?
How far has someone you met online traveled to meet you?
How far are you willing to travel to meet someone you met online?

Random Observation If Dating Sites Were Successful.....

We would eventually stop using them.
It seems like my "matches" on these dating sites never seem to match my criteria. When I pick specific details and let them find my match the result is usually the same.
My filters: 40 to 55, caucasian with blonde hair and HWP, lives within 10 miles.
My matches: 60 year olds that remind me of my sister or mother. Twentysomethings that remind of of my nieces.
Fuglies,
BBWs,
SSBBWs,
Ratchet Girls,
Divorced Socialites,
and finally:
The right one, but she lives at least 600 miles away.
Oddly enough when I do the same search without logging in to these sites, (when possible) I get different results. Not better or worse, just different.
Should I upgrade to get "better matches"?
Should I spend that money on a blow job from a downtown?
Should I start hanging out at live music venues, museums, libraries, sporting events, hiking trails, lakes, beaches, farmer's markets, flea markets, and coffee shops?
Should I spend that money on a with a happy ending?
I'm sure we all have different experiences on these sites successful or not.
Please feel free to share your observations about dating sites.
