Another good night. I met up with Derek at the new Awful Arthurs here in Salem, and goddamn, it's like the best bar ever! It's freakin' huge...got 5 pool tables, a huge bar that runs the lenght of the store, darts, a stage, and...get this...they actually have Yeungling on tap. So that's gonna be where I hang out every night from now on.
So we had a great time. We ate (better food than I get at the other locations), played two rounds of darts (I won both), played two rounds of pool (I lost both, lol), and talked. He's doing ok. It sounds like everything that he and his wife have decided was mutual and for the best, and no hard feelings. So I'm glad things are going to be ok. We discussed the possibility of renting a house - he wants to find something nearby so he can be closer to the kids and not disrupt their lives so much, and that happens to be very close to where I work, so that'd work out really well, and having a freakin' house would be awesome. We'd probably have a studio / bar in the basement, and each have our own rooms...he'd take the master, and I'd have a smaller one for my room and another for my office so I could set up my server for RAM. So that'd be awesome. The area is Garden City - for those of you who don't know it, it's conveniently close to downtown but simultaneously out in the boonies, so lots of land and privacy, but only about 10 minutes from work. So this might work out really well.
We also talked to the venue about getting a gig there, so we're now talking to some of our friends in bands about putting together a show...thinking about 3 or 4 bands, so this would be awesome. Sometime in August. So we're gonna kick everything into high gear starting tomorrow and get this going. Rock!
So I got home and had gotten a reply back from Jacob, so I think all is well. I just wanted to let him know I wasn't mad and I still cared. No pressure, no worries. No more animosity. So I feel good about that, and hope he does too.
Me and Frankie have kind of been continuing conversations that started last night, and I think we're getting to a good understanding of things and each other, which is good. I feel stronger and I feel comfortable. This may not be the easiest place I've been in in my life, but my eyes are open, I'm willing to try, and willing to take this all for whatever it may be worth. I feel like I'm falling free.
I also did one of my first 'solo' songs earlier this evening. Venus. Finally got to write a song about sex. About damn time, eh? Lol. I'll post it for download once it's finished. For now, here's the lyrics. Not the sultry thing I was planning; more about the beauty of it. What you always should remember.
"Open wide...and mind closed
She invites him in
This is as close as they get
An embrace so close
that he goes right through her
She loves to look him in the eye
A movement...so fluid
A feeling...so combined
The ghost of purity...is what she wants to find"
- Concrete, "Venus"
