Journey to the top
I stopped by my corner bar late last night on my way home, knowing that a former bar tender I had been friendly with (who started his own promotion company and is now in a world-touring band) was performing a set.
Our relationship has always been full of fun, facetious flirting. Tonight, immediately after his set, he ignored a couple of 20-something girls that were fawning over him and came to sit down next to me to share a drink.
Rock_Star: You know, I’ve known for a while now that we’re going to end up together.
Brunette_IM_Subspecialist: Yeah yeah, I think you’ve mentioned that before.
Rock_Star: We’re like-minded people. We’re both work-obsessed… goal oriented. It’s not until we’ve put aside everything else to achieve our goals and we’re all but dead inside that we discover the other people like us who we belong with… Also, I always wanted to raise my kids Jewish
Brunette_IM_Subspecialist: Hah you come on way stronger than I remember
Rock_Star: This?? Strong?! Pfsh… What kind of pansy-ass guys are you dating?
