Random Talk

[Nintex]

Get laid already. This prologue has gone on far too long.

I expected very little if nothing from date 1 with this girl and it was the best one yet from the apps.
She really wanted to see me again before Canada even though I had sort of accepted that it would be after.

Currently she's frustrated and pissed that her ex can't babysit and the nanny didn't pick up the phone at 10PM but she says she'll fix it.
I don't want to be that nanny on the other end of the phone. She says she doesn't have that Latina temperament as much but she does have it. It's never aimed at me though, just at everything and everyone else. Her boss, her ex, her nanny, her co-workers. I'm her sweet chico that can do no wrong (for now). 

The bacteria and anti-biotics might ruin the fun though. That's why I put date 3 on the map, so she doesn't have to worry if she feels sick or anything. And removing that stress makes it more likely I can smash. There has been a strange reversal of roles in comparison with my previous dates, she's more worried I break things off than I'm worried she does. On date 1 I luckily discovered some things that turned her on.

It's 2025, inflation is a thing. Probably bottoming out at USD5000 is a wiser choice.

Spanish Eurovision bird's outfit was worth the price of admission.

trying to connect with the youths

[Nintex]

My poor girl is having such a hard time. At 6AM sharp she send me a message how much she appreciates a strong man who stands up for himself and others. Literally the first thing she did when she woke up. Overall her tone has changed since she set a new date. Way more submissive. Whenever I opened the chat I felt like a roman warlord returning to tell tales of my battles.

But now disaster has struck. Her friend has a party this weekend, the usual babysitter is fully booked. She's unsure if she can make it tommorow. She messaged a few external ones. But the big crying emoji faces told the whole story.

Left her a message that I appreciate all her efforts to find a babysitter and my luck might rub off on her and if not well, we have all the time in the world when I'm back.
But I could tell, I needed to cheer her up so I told her about my plan to get a piano. And well, that was rewarded with a picture of those thick thighs in the shortest laced skirt I've ever seen playing piano. Now I'm certain, she will do anything to get back to me.
   

She was just playing because it was her therapy. It happened on the date and it just keeps happening now. She's just rapidly crossing out everything on the 'top 10 things I'll never find' list. I'd given up on ever finding a piano player, let alone one with melons that likes Hans Zimmer and dresses cute playing the damn thing. And she just casually keeps sharing things like that. 

And it goes both ways really which is how we have kept this thing going for 21 days.  

In a way this is sort of like Interstellar. The movie we were supposed to watch. Let's hope it won't take me as long as it took Cooper to meet Dr. Brand again.
If I tell her that the response is this:   .

You are never seeing that woman again

I read this as "one with melons like Hans Zimmer"

Maybe this will work for Nintex

[Nintex]

Well tommorow I lift off for Canada.

As expected we couldn't meet again before I leave and maybe it's for the better. Today was crazy and I'm exhausted and she fell asleep but all is prepped now. 

We had a good chat, I gave her a funny out in case she wanted to cut things off. Better to know now than later. But she likes my new glasses and she's just really happy I didn't end it. I also put something on the map for later, the Hans Zimmer concert and she's dying to go. When "And now we are free" from Gladiator plays we'll french kiss.

I'm not going to jump the gun but if she visits me after I return I told her I will tell her those 3 magic words.

It's her own fault. Her favorite movie is Interstellar. And she's been playing the role of Amelia Brand perfectly. Which makes me worried my Steamdeck is TARS and it won't make it back. 

It's crazy though, 2 out of 3 goals I set. Visit my brother in Canada and find a gf. And well both feel equally attainable and close and she ticks so many boxes it's kind of unreal. I shared a performance of Nobuo Uematsu and she loved it. When I'm away she'll practice To Zanarkand. 

The picture from yesterday that perfectly framed her thighs in a laced skirt in front of a rundown piano. Well she didn't realize how good it was like with most other things she does that hit me on a atomic level.

But Canada first. Sunday we're hitting the first bar and Monday is Victoria day. 

I've decided to break the narrative though. Originally in this Interstellar story I was going to confront my brother about a suicide note of his I found (he would be doctor Mann I suppose). That’s why I had to see him personally in the first place. But now is not the time. He's way too excited I'm coming over and I don't want to ruin the mood for him and maybe I can break us free from this plot.

Please don't pass up the chance to come home and talk about "your girlfriend, who lives in Canada."

Is Nintex trans?

[Nintex]

Well I'm on a plane, listening to Hans Zimmer, making a movie selection, eating some chicken that tastes fine and made my first Canadian friend that already helped me fix some audio issues. They really are helpful.

And I'm chatting with my cute latina piano player. Who is like: "omg darling you make friends with strangers on planes??"

This ain't half bad

[Polident]

I’ve flown solo quite a lot and I’ve never chatted up other passengers. The wonders of air travel get numbed over time and you kind of want to die and be revived at the destination.

Chatted with the stewardesses at points. Which, actually is it weird that it’s still mainly a lady’s profession. Looking up stats and it’s 75% to 85% women. Huh.

[Nintex]

Well the guy gave me good tips. Restaurants, bars, parks, the works.

[killamajig]

How do you know they are good tips if you haven't been there yet?

[Nintex]

He knows his stuff. He didn't like Amsterdam or Heineken much. Liked the other towns more. Good lad. Works for an oil and gas company. 

Also has a latina gf, Mexican girl. 

Watched Gladiator on a shit screen but it’s such a good movie it doesn’t really matter.

15-25% gay men as well.

are you hearing these odds nintex?

its all women, and the handful of men around them all day aren't even interested

[Nintex]

During Covid we had a curvy stewardess girl that briefly worked at our agency when the flights were grounded. Guess who had a crush? 

Anyway it's awesome here but after being awake for 20 hours I'm exhausted. I fall asleep to the soothing sounds of DOOM The Dark Ages. 

I broke the curse I didn't confront my bro. He's just really happy I'm here and truthfully he lives like a king. I've got my personal bathroom with bath in his appartment. 15th floor incredible view of the city. His self adjustable desk is insane. In ways he hasn't changed a bit, showing his Lego sets and DOOM skills to his little bro and no clock or bedrame in sight. Nothing is really folded either.

I was going to say, the one instance that comes to mind was a Delta domestic flight last year where the guy was a loud homosexual. Like the stock gay character in 90s and 2000s media. I didn’t think those guys still existed. It was amazing to witness the mix of cattiness, sass, and flirt in the wild.

Calgary is a fun city to explore. Indoor gardens, bars, shops, malls lots of great architecture. It's interesting how the city still upholds the concept of public buildings and connects them all with sky bridges for the cold winters. There’s maps everywhere too, I've taken pictures of them all to collect them kind of like Metroid. 

Also had my first real Canadian food. Meat platter of pork, sausage and fries. Tasted great. 

Culturally it's interesting too. Calgary is the "Texas of Canada" bbq, oil & gas, big SUVs but it's still Canada. So there is a guy in a cowboy hat, a femboy heading to a manga convention and a Sikh all waiting for the same traffic light. 

Oh and I'm taller than 99% of the people here.

[Uncle]

are there any good insults that used to be horrifically offensive but are considered so old and so eliminated from vernacular that no one knows to be offended by them anymore

is it ok to call people crippled again?

[Nintex]

My bro ubers everywhere at night. It's like staying at a GTA quest giver. Looks out of his window to see if his friend leaves his building so he knows when to call.

His crew very GTA too, mexican guy with a nerdy redhead gf, jolly english man, Canadian indie dev. In the Uber an ad for candy and icecream followed by an ad for a diabetes clinic, again very GTA.

First pub on day 2 already. Beat the jet lag.

Hadn't heard anything from my latina and was a little worried... only the "send" checkmark. At 4 AM my phone exploded. Flooded with hearts.

Tourist Nintex is far more entertaining than incel Nintex.

Went to Inglewood today. Art murals, small stores, breweries and squirrels

Also got my first steak of the trip: "Manhattan" at a place called Bankers & Barrons
 

Great smoothies and wings here everywhere too.

It's hard to know if you're referencing the game or staying in the Greater Toronto Area.

Next week I'm doing a recon of the L.A. area before I move back out there permanently (i lived out there over 20yrs ago). After I got all my disability approved I know what my buget will be for this move. I'm even considering "The Van Life" and get me an small RV to live in and go where I please.

If no one cares I'll post some pics if I see anything interesting on my journey.

Oh and I bought a 2008 Sebring convertable for less than 5k so I can arrive in L.A. with style. It's got some rust but the top goes up and down and doesn't leak so the important things work.  I've owned jeeps and motorcycles all my life and didn't know how much I missed being able to drive around and "blow the stink off" as my daddy used to say.

My health isn't great so I hope my body is up to this. I'm the last person alive in my family so it doesn't matter where I stay now and this place is too boring for a guy with too much time on his hands. I lived life by burning the candle at both ends because in my family you were either dead or in prison at my age (55) The joke was I got a job at a prison to fulfill the family curse. When I got my heart issues over 5 yrs ago I thought that was the sign I was about to check out but here I am on disability and no friends or family to spend all new free time. I literally lost friends because they thought I was dying and avoided hanging out with me since it made them feel bad. I reminded them that life can end at any minute, I guess. I died and was resuscitated on the way to the hospital, experiencing one of those life-flashing-before-your-eyes moments. I wanted to talk about it, but my friends seemed freaked out by what I shared about the experience. I understood, but at the same time, I could tell things wouldn’t be the same with my girlfriend or regular friends. I became a hermit over the past few years while waiting to see if I was sick enough to qualify for disability. A process that normally takes a year or two ended up dragging on for five years. COVID really strained the system, and the past five years have been the worst time to try to get on it. Meanwhile, I lost all my savings and so much weight that old friends didn’t even recognize me. This is the long way of saying I think I need a fresh start.
