A Series of Hope, Despair & Laughter - Part II
By Welsley Turner Franco
Even after the mayhem of last month, I have continued to be hopeful
in my pursuit for Love. Although, I am not going to lie - it’s not a make
or break love deal. It’s a ‘can you spoon’ deal. Are you reasonably
intelligent enough to not drool on yourself in public? Do you bathe? Are
you employed? Do you have a motor vehicle (and yes, golf carts are
acceptable)? Are you wanted by law enforcement? Do you have more
than one tooth? As you can see, my standards are not unattainable. I
can work with you. That having been barfed out, let me tell you what
happened to me last week.
My co-worker from hell informed me that she had found the Perfect Man
for me!! He was tall, good looking, self- sufficient, funny and that was all
it took for me to be enamored! My co-worker, whom I shall call PITA (for
Pain in the Ass), was beside herself! Pita wants to be my bridesmaid and
was adamant that this was indeed my soul mate. Pita wants me to have
a winter wedding and on and on it went.
Well, first of all, NO!! Can I meet this guy first? Pita said I knew him
already. She described him in detail. No help there. I see 500 people a
day and I don’t remember everyone. You have to stand out for me. You
have to do something that will make me remember you, and in this day
and age that usually means that I have to call the cops on your stupid,
drunk ass. That is not usually an indicator of a hook-up. I do not provide
bail money unless you have already proved yourself.
Then finally, last week my ‘Perfect Man’ walked in the door! I wasn’t sure
it was him until he ordered a drink and then lit those damn American
Spirit cigs. It WAS him! So off we went with casual banter and what not.
All was proceeding well, until ... the most stunning woman I have ever
seen walked into the bar! She was just absolutely breathtaking. I don’t
swing that way, but I would have seriously considered it with her! She
was instantly fun and engaging - an instant delight to any bar to have a
customer that is just gregarious, gorgeous and self-deprecating.
We were all laughing and enjoying ourselves immensely, and then …
they left. Together. Without me. Yes, my ‘Perfect Man’ walked out the
door with this beautiful, breathtaking woman. Pita’s hopes for a winter
wedding walked out the door with his dream girl and it wasn’t me.
As soon as I stopped laughing, I realized I had been un-screwed. Well,
damn. Sigh. Another one bites the dust. I am not so enthusiastic about
what is going to happen next week, but I am going to laugh and enjoy
the ride!
