Lessons Learned

This post is definitely about my life and major lesson I learned that is, not letting my emotions control rational thought.
The Story
I'll paint a picture of what the ethos for this blog. I meet a good looking girl at  an electronica/ techno show. She was cute, small yet proportionate figure (Rare choice for me, I generally like women with curve), had a smile that filled half her face, freckles with black hair. Also she was killing it in black skinny jeans, moto boots, and a leather jacket (hipster rock look.)  We danced, sat and chilled where I found out that she was a pretty famous DJ for a local lite rock station in town. I went from thinking, "I'm lucky to have a hot girl digging me, to wholly shit what does she see in me." To be fare to myself I was also killing it in my ironic Terminator tee, Skinny jeans from the 70s (salvo find) and polished white Nike kicks (Thanks Mom.) After the last dj played she wanted to go back to my place. I called my roomie to pick us up. Shocked to her who I was with. We were about to leave the bar, when this guy tired to stop us from leaving claiming she was blacked out. Guessed that was her ex who was also there to be her sober ride for the night. I was slightly beyond buzzed, but knew she wasn't blackout. I stood my ground looked at him dead in the eyes and said, "She's leaving with me, bud." We then headed to back to my place and had a fun time.
Woke the next morning had good vibes felt we had made a connection, I then gave her a ride back to her apartment. I then tried to distracted myself by rocking to pandora inking out a drawing. What was running threw my head was, "Wow, this chick is so funny, has personality, cute, has a career, about the same age she's the total package, I want to date her."  I  had gotten a text gotten saying that she "forgot" her bra at my house. My thoughts at the time was thinking, "Well that's a funny thing to forget I know that has small boobs... Well good job RSND she wants to see you again." I then orranged a coffee date 2 days later.
We had coffee, then headed back her place.
At time I was thinking, "RSND don't fuck this up, by fucking. This well make you the rebound guy! If you really like her.. wait." We had good deep conversation really opened up. Went and discussed our friends and family life via facebook. Then MGMT came on, and well (shoulder shrug) we got it on. Afterwords we had another  intimate conversation.
The next morning gave me a ride home.  At about 6pm I had received a text that said this, "I cannot do this thing....sorry."
I was really taken back by this,  I only sent her one very articulated text message that asked the question why, but apparently she was not mature enough to respond back. Then I started over analyzing everything about last few days. "Was I too clingly? Does think that I'm falling head over heals for her? Is it because I put out right away? I thought we made a connection,  I thought she viewed  more than just a "hang and bang", she must  have thought that."
 After few hours no text which really mad me irate, I then  posted a status comment that had with a Cat Stevens Wild World link, ripped on top 40 radio and contained ironic rebound joke. The only thing I regret about posting that it that I should have used Manfred Mann's Fox on the Run.  I would have then gone to bed, but I wanted to see if she was the Facebook. I found out that she defriend me. Like who does that? I then was enraged, because she must have not had made a connection. I then started to blog on Solid Tales and go into extreme detail on Saturday night. After I had planned on sending her a message on Facebook, with the link attached with a link to Beastie Boys' Oh Hey Fuck You. I DID NOT, thank God.
The Conclusion  The Lessons Learned
I took some time and reflected about what a relationship is? Considered what I am looking for in a woman? I thought when I was with her that I finally found what I looking for in woman. I found a woman with personality in Fargo, who is attractive, and funny.  I was blinded by emotions, did use rational thought, if did not think I would have considered these major factors.  She had told me that she had just broke up with her boyfriend. (Do I don't need to constantly compared to another and need to negative vibe baggage.) We discussed music, and very artist few in common. It mainly contained popular radio, the only music that had some sort of lyricism was hip hop. (It may seem like not a big deal, but when it is your career, it definitely holds weight.)  She told me that she is very distant and not close with her family. (I come from a family of love. My parents are also my friends,  family very important to me.) She told me that she super committed to her job as a radio top 40 radio dj. (Which is cool and I respect her because she does have a lot of listeners. Although if did date her that would no free time during the day.)
I cannot believe that I was so foolish to fall so fast. The sliver lining in this story is that I am actually glad this situation happened to me and I glad that I met her. The reason behind this that it gave me a stronger understanding of what I looking for in my Ruca. (the one) If I plan on dating,  I want it too be long term. I not the guy who is in a relationship to be in a relationship. This experience taught me do not rush to your hormones. Which I think that is apart becoming an adult, I revert back a quote that my mother said to me in my youth, "Think before you do." I never thought that would still relevant today.   And last lesson learned was fish in the lake metaphor. Sometimes you go out on lake and fish for sun fish, because there easy. Sometimes you go fishing for northerns and catch a carpe. Sometimes you go out on the lake not expecting to get anything and end up with a walleye that you keep even those its too small and not ready to eat, but your hunger takes over. What is important is being able to be out on the lake enjoying a beautiful day. I plan on doing some fishing , but if its not right I'll release back for others to catch.  I'll let my brain do the fishing, not my stomach. If I'm hungry there's always Zobraz!

I'm The Man on The Mountain

Well.....it has been a while since I have posted anything new, not to say that I haven't had anything worthy to post. Finals and creating memories over Christmas break really prevented me from blogging. I'll do a better job of blogging matanence.
Why RSND is "The Man on The Mountain?"
The reason for is this I am coming off of a spectacular weekend.

FRIDAY

• The weekend started off bitter sweet Friday night with Bison Wrestling Vs. Northern Iowa. As a team we wrestled very poorly, and wrestled timid. Seeing that it was a first home dual I can understand how some wrestlers can nervous.  After the 184 match, I knew we had lost the dual. Side Note- (I wrestle 197 and we do not have a heavy weight, thus I am the last match of dual.) So  I was mad as hell when I stepped out on the mat. I ended up pinning the kid. 
• After the dual, my parents took me to a local bar known as the Turf. Where I instantly order a big beer of Fat Tire and a chili burger.
• I found a table, where my Dad and I engaged in best 2 of 3 in billiards along with another Big Beer. My Dad won the first game, and had his cocky "You can beat experince" face on. But his orar was soon lost when  a,  "Young Son of a Bitch" beat his ass the next 2 games. 
• I was soon dropped off at my place with the best care package my Mother as given me. It contained 3 loafs of Falls Baking Bread. Which for those unaware is the best bread. 
• Ate half loaf of FBC bread.

SATURDAY

• Played the game sleep until you wake up. This is where you sleep until you want to wake up. 
• Then ate half loaf of FBC bread.
• Watched roomie play Fallout New Vegas.
• Ate at 5 Guys Burgers and Fries, recapped the dual with other wrestlers, literally pocketed peanuts.
• Watched more video games.
• Went to Hooters, where I guess I was getting glanced at by a waitress. This is what my friends where saying, they want me to talk to her, but thought they were trying to set me up to look foolish. 
• Prepared to go to a rave.
• I then went to Tencho show above Demsey's. Normally not my style of music, but my cousin (DJ Econ) was DJing. so I thought I owe it to him too see a show. 
• Drank PBR pounders. 
• Ended up dancing with very attractive radio DJ. (Who I am having coffee with later tonight!)
• Witnessed Sovereign Sect, who were great to dance too.

SUNDAY

• Inked out some art
• Me and Pandora were in sync 
• Ate another half of bread.
• Watched Rain Man and New Californication. 
• Ate another half of bread. 
• Listened to Exile on Main St. Album
• Got a work out in.  

And this is why RSND is The Man on The Mountain.  This is a line from the Rolling Stones song Loving Cup. Off the Album Exile on Main St., if you get a chance to have lazy Sunday, get a six pack and listen to Exile.       http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2wlny7t_wps

Cem "Turkish Tigar" Karaca

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GTA6vzGoTyM&feature=player_embedded#!

 Cem Karaca,  
( i will do a print of you later)  
Looking back  threw the hour glass of time (youtube) that  very moment  Cem Karaca  had Pure Charisma, Power, and True Passion that only Turkish-Armenian Anatolian rock movement can provide.











 When I viewed this Stag obviously he is an original. So instead of doing the typical of notion of how much of this person he is forcing Cem to be a melting pot. I'd do him  one better.
The percent list of how much others have drank for Mr. Karaca's mojo Cup. 

The percent list of how much others have drank for Mr. Karaca's mojo Cup.  

 

1.Tony Clifton 33%  ( 1. The stern body language

2. Giving the lounge Turkish pleasure lounge vibe)

2. Ray Davies 21% (Political Singers and matching builds)

3. Jonny Deep 17% (Blow- George Jung with that 70s swagger)

4. Burt Renyolds  15% (A Classy Burt, Cem had the arrogance with elegance)

5. Mitch Hedberg 11.9% (with out the stage fright)

6, Bernie Lomax 2.1% (Weekend at Bernies?)

Final remarks-

This post was made for my two pals Chris and Shane 

and in all fairness to Ray Davies, Cem is a  3rd rate Dead Sea Lounge Singer compared to Davies.

Mel takes The Beaver

     It is plain to see that Mel Gibson has fallen 
long way from his ruff, yet lovable 80s persona. He has some troubling times in the last couple of years, or better part of the last decade. To highlight his downfall would start with his 2002 release of Signs. His demise would continue in 2004 with The Passion of the Christ. The movie was not horrible, but it arose the question if Mel was an anti-semite. It only came to be truthful during his 2006 DUI arrest, when he was quoted with,"The Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world." After digging himself a deep hole, I thought he would finally get out of the whole with what Mel does best, over the top action films. I had high hopes with Edge of Darkness. I was wrong. The movie was a second rate Taken. Then topping the downfall of Mel was in 2009. When he left his loving  wife of over 20 years,  to have a love child with a nobody model.  With all this negatively surrounding  Riggs, I thought if he died tomorrow what would be come of the Gibson legacy? Could he be able to pull of a Micheal Jackson? Meaning would be remembered for the classic movies  Mad Max, Lethal Weapon and Lethal Weapon 2, Maverick, Braveheart, and lastly What Women Want? Or would he be viewed as what horrible things that I stated above? Thankfully Mel is not dead, in fact he has mad one of the  best career moves he could make. He is staring in a new movie called, The Beaver. The first time I glanced at the trailer I thought it was a joke. Then I realized it was a real movie, and thought damn it, well played sir. The premise of The Beaver  is about a man Walter Black, a well to do executive and family man cracks under the pressures of regular life. Sounds vaguely familiar? Then Walter, after hitting the bottom creates an alternate personality in a beaver hand puppet. Walter then believes that he is dead, yet the beaver is the only thing alive. This is such a move of beauty by Mr. Gibson's part. Nothing screams I am not crazy, by poking fun at your own life. To show that your able to humble oneself on screen, women well eat that up. And that is what it is all about Mel. Being able showing to people that behind that ruff persona lives a man with deep down troubles, that bullets might not be able to penetrate, but the struggles of life can. In this case The Beaver is able to transcend Mel's reality with his on screen character Walter Black. Thus, while you will not catch me watching Edges, but You will catch me enjoying the witty banter between Riggs and Murtaugh.

Dance Team at NDSU

     I am wrestler, which pretty much controls most of my life. With that in mind, we had a morning work out in the indoor track. Normally after a hard sprint,  I put much focus on whats to come. At 6 in the morning I had received a nice treat. During a sprint I heard the voice of an angel,  my ears picked up the Celine Dion's Its All Coming Back to Me. I then turned my head to the center of the gym and saw 20 radiant women in spandex serenading me on the basketball court.  After pondering this feat,  I engaged into my next sprint and heard combo songs that could be complied into a 3rd rate Jock Jams CD's. (By the way there are 7 versions of Jock Jams.) After over hearing this I then realized I am in North Dakota and get the pleasure of working out to Whoomp! (There It Is).
