Dating and Drunks (D&D)

#1 First commentary on drinking.
Sat night a friend got drunk and he was out of control. First, he was grinding our friend on the dance floor, then bear hugging people, running around like a kid on the street, trying to ring doorbells at 2am, etc. For a while I was afraid he was going to get in trouble for sexual assault or something, definitely turned ugly. There are others who encounter this change of behavior while drinking.

It poses the question is it the true you, the uninhibited you, or some altered form? I believe its an altered form, but I suppose there is some of the uninhibited side that comes out. I like to think a person is himself when he's in balance and in control of what he wants to control and loose the way he normally is. If a drunk person exhibits violence does it mean they are violent inside? I'm not sure. I'm a little touchy/feely but sleepy when drunk, maybe thats the real me?

Don't let drinking ruin your life.

#2 I had decided to find a new girlfriend this weekend.
While this is ridiculous unless you are a pimp-daddy or super popular chap, in Tokyo its not too far off given the amount of single people. So I went on 1 date, met 2 other girls worthy of dating saturday night (called one of them earlier tonight to say hi), and finally got a belated response for another date which won't happen for a few weeks. So I have lined up my final 4 candidates in my short term goal of finding a new girlfriend.

I started to think I should just find someone even if its not a gem, because gems are rare are still flawed, its just that the flaws are better masked. Tombo suggested I go for quantity and in their find the quality. I'm going w/ whatever is available and seeing how it plays out. Is it desperate and am I feeling needy? Hmm... good question, there is definitely a fine line between being too picky and going for anything. I think I'd just say I'm being aggressive this month.

So we'll see. The current list are all girls who have jobs at least. One works for Adidas corporate, 1 has her own small business selling a cosmetic label, 2 work in finance at different companies.

I still find my ex-gf to be cuter than most, but I just have to think back to the terror...
