Hi Yall and Ya Gotta Start Somewhere!

So my friends have been laughing at the stories I tell of dating life in Sarasota, Fl. My friends outside of this state can't even begin to imagine and insist that I am being dramatic. I will admit that I have been blessed with a flair for the dramatic and will not confirm or deny if I was nominated in my high school superlatives as most likely to be a soap star. However ,this is entirely the truth. And those few other lucky single professionals in this town can confirm that I do indeed speak the truth without embellishment. While out with girlfriends this past Thursday night I was struck with the idea of starting this little blog. We were hanging out at the only hot spot on Thursday nights, a little flat bread restaurant called Urban Flats. It turns into a ladies night, DJ dance fest, meat market after hours. The fly of course is the free alcohol for the ladies which then attracts the men. Ahh good ole ladies night. It does seem to bring all kinds. One is guaranteed to find women having some kind of contest to see who is wearing the least clothing and the men seem to not want to be left out. Typically you see the men folk around here sporting the ed hardy and affliction tshirts. This fashion fad has sadly just made it's way to Sarasota but most fashionistas have grown tired of this already trendy fashion. Anywhoo this past Thursday night a young man was wearing a tshirt that looked like he got a hold of his mom's bedazzling gun and went to town. I swear. Their is photographic proof once I get it from my girlfriend L. SO I want you all to picture angel wings large as life on the back of this boys shirt, in some type of a shiny rhinestone. And then this boy turned around and lord help us it was bedazzled with writing on the front.. yes ladies and gentlemen he was double bedazzled. This caused quite the stir among my friends J and L and we laughed alot. We should have known this was some new trend, because not 10 minutes later we saw another boy in a bedazzled tshirt and I think we all about peed our pants. Gentlemen please listen up.. lesson number one, step away from the gemstones. I know it's hard to put that bedazzler down and as metro and well groomed as we ladies want our men, I don't think any of us want to see you sporting clothes that have more sparkle then a lite brite. So after this comical encounter I said I should start blogging about being single in the Sarasota city and actually take my camera around at night and take pictures. I was seriously joking but everyone thought it would be hysterical. So I ran some ideas by a few others this weekend and it sounds like a hit. Well probably it will only be read by dearest friends and family, no scratch that no family allowed!!! But if I can entertain y'all with my stories of dating in god's waiting room then I gotta do it. Saturday night I met a young man that we will just call sweatpants. I am pretty sure his tactic of wearing sweatpants was a form of Peacocking from that horrible book The Game that some men read but I will say it worked on me. My friend K and I were out for a few drinks and I couldn't resist talking to a guy who had the guts to wear sleeping lounge wear out to the trendy bar where ever other guy is wearing tshirts they clearly stole from their little teenage brother. ( admit it y'all you have seen these boys stretched out in tees tighter then Under Armor) That kind of guy(sweatpants) is the one you want to talk to and we have struck up a friendship.. Though he did make me promise not to put him in this blog. Sorry sweatpants I had to break that one, but only to give you some props. Confidence is sexy!!! So look forward to more updates. I am going to make an entry sometime this week to sum up some funny stories from the past. There are some priceless ones that need to be told!!! And in the future I will be out like a social butterfly doing research as my friend B called it. I will be people watching with the best of them but don't worry all names will be protected. I will also not be immune from the stories because those of y'all that know me also know that I have some stories to tell.. I have been kissing frogs for a long time.. its time to put that to good use. Sadly the dating life in Sarasota isn't all that hot. Unless you are an Anna Nicole type after a 70 year old man hyped up on Viagra. Or you are a 21 year old in college.. I am def not the first and sadly I am not the latter. Hope those of you who took the time to read this got a smile. More laughs to come.........( I added the pic of the wings which is clearly more then red bull was promising... )
