Sex in the City is one of the best HBO dramas of all time.  Of course, that’s my opinion.  It’s comes second only because the Soprano’s is #1 on my list.  After years of speculation and waiting the movie is finally here.  Just watching the commercials for the movie reminds me of why I watched this show.  Well when you have a show that involves 2 of my 3 addictions, I start to wonder if I need rehab.

Saturday didn’t go according to my planned schedule.  Actually my whole weekend plan was turned upside down by a miscommunication with one of my kids.  So I actually had a kid free weekend.  Saturday afternoon I was eating a mid-day breakfast at Cafe Brazil with Nigel.  I received a text from LJ36 for a concert invite.  The concert was Steven Marley, the son of the great reggae legend Bob Marley.

Saturday night was lots of fun.  I went to Cape Buffalo to watch the Dallas Stars vs Detroit Red Wings hockey game.  Nigel decided to drive from Las Colinas to hang out for a while.  We caught up on the weeks activities and dates.  We decided to leave when the game was over and go to Houston’s.  It was around 930 when we got there, it wasn’t busy.  Houston’s is one of my favorite places to eat and have a glass of Merlot.

I had such a great time on Saturday.  It was a full day of fun.  I had one of my oldest son with me, so it was a guy’s day.  We started the day out watching cartoons and eating cereal.  He doesn’t want me to cook breakfast on Saturday morning, it’s always a tradition to have cereal and watch Tom and Jerry.  Around 1pm we got dressed and headed to Starbucks.  I’ve noticed him growing up before my eyes.  He’s now paying attention to girls.  He’s a teenager now, so it’s natural.  I just wasn’t sure how much he’s into girls.  So we sat in the comfy chairs drinking, reading the newspaper and talking.  I asked him how many phone numbers he has in his cell phone.  He said 80.  I waited a couple minutes and said, how many are girls numbers.  He said he didn’t know, then he counted and said 25!  Damn.  Times have changed since I was a kid.  He laughed at me and called me old school.  So I approached it from the angle of what his friends do and talk about.  Do they have girl friends, do they think they’re a pimp, and do they talk about sex.  He tells me a couple have girl friends, and they don’t talk about sex, yet.  But he wouldn’t consider any of them a player.  So he begins to tell me he’s not interested in having a girl friend, he just wants friends.  He’s focusing on school, sports, going to college, and he dreams of playing in the NFL.  I was still in shock that in Jr. High School he has 25 girls phone numbers.  He tells me he doesn’t ask for ask for their numbers, they ask for his.  Is there a pattern starting?  I’ve always had great communication with him, so I decided to wait to have the come to Ali-Babba with him.  Instead I sat there and listened to him talk about how the girls at school act.  He also had plenty of stories of which girls all the boys liked.  I’m not sure if we ever get past someones appearances.  They notice how others dress, their hair, and act.  He made some great observations.  The biggest one is ‘I’m comfortable with myself, I don’t need a girl friend to have fun’.  Maybe that is what TR37 meant when she told me I was happy to be single.  Yes, I know it’s been a couple weeks, but that statement resonates in my memory.  I’m sure it wasn’t the easiest thing for her to say, but I respect her honesty.  Relationships, no matter what kind take honesty.  If you’re afraid to say what you feel, I’d recommend analyzing if you truly have a quality relationship.  Over the years, I’ve always remained true to myself and my feelings.  It’s not the easiest thing to do, but it’s the only way to live.

Monday evening was the final day of the long St Patrick’s Day weekend.  Everyone was trying to make plans for their final green beer of the year.  I received several emails and text messages from a lot of friends going out to the Irish pubs.  So I decided to meet LJ36 for a couple green beers at a local Irish pub.  The pub so was crowded we had to share a table with another couple.  We didn’t know them until we sat down.  We all began to drink green beer and get to know each other.  The couple worked together at Bear Stearns.  They were in the drinking mood, because of the financial turmoil their company has experienced in the last 72 hours.   LJ36 seemed very relaxed and happy.

Today the weather was spectacular. It was almost 90 degrees, blue skies, and a nice warm breeze. I wanted to get out and do some people watching. I could do the obvious and go to the mall. That didn’t really sound appealing. So I went to Starbucks for some coffee. The only problem is, it was dead. There was a total of 6 people there. There was two guys on their laptops, an Afro-American couple chatting in the corner, and two older white women. I couldn’t believe it. How could a North Plano Starbucks be dead during prime time of the day.  I stayed for a 30 minutes, hoping that some beautiful women would come in for coffee.  It never happened.  So, I decided to try a different approach.  I went to the Carrollton Tennis Center.  On Friday it’s mixed doubles day.

Tonight I met a couple friends for dinner at Boston’s.  Just a casual dinner and great conversation.  I met MC40 during the summer.  She’s a brown haired, green eyed,  French-Canadian beauty.  She’s 5′7″ tall a vivacious smile, outgoing personality and a great figure.  She refers to me as sensei.  I was her first interracial experience, she’s quick to admit.  We always had in-depth discussions on life after divorce.  We’ve gone out a few times, but we’re mainly friends now.  Nigel, a 50 year old, 6′3″ newly single black male was there.  This is the first time I’ve met Nigel.  The last time I saw MC40 was in November, so we needed to catch up on each other’s life.  She’s a lot more comfortable with herself since her divorce.  She seems much happier than previously.  We discussed work projects, school, family, and even this website.  Our topic of conversation shifted to dating and the social scene in Dallas.  I’ve been living in Dallas for close to 20 years, so I was able to give some advice on how to meet other single people.  It’s interesting, how we are 3 different single people with 3 different approaches to dating.  We all have tried online dating, with different results.  Nigel is a self proclaimed introvert and MC40 compared herself to me as an extrovert.  I’ve always found it easy to meet people just by going out with friends and being social.  It’s evident by sitting there, we are all at 3 different stages of being divorced and single.  Nigel is exploring his dating options by getting out and meeting new friends.  He’s learning what the Dallas night life has to offer.  MC40 has become comfortable with being divorced.  She says she has her own ‘posse’.   Her social group has grown so much in the last six months.  She now has found her own niche of friends, activities, and events to keep her busy.  Of course, I’m just being me.  I’m dating more.  I’m working more.  I’m having plenty of fun and enjoying every minute of it.

Saturday night, I decided to eat sushi at Fujiyama in Dallas.  It’s one of my favorite places, because it’s not crowded and I get great service.  I ordered the volcano, and it was great!  After I finished eating, I went to Dave & Busters.  I wanted to play pool and watch the Mavericks game.  When I arrived, the upstairs bar was full, so I decided to go downstairs.  Wow, it was a mad house there.  There were kids running all over the place and parents playing video games.  I sat at the bar with some friends and ordered a Scotch.  There
