Sheeps Meadow in Central Park
Saturday morning (okay, Saturday at 1:30pm) I woke up and headed to my computer for my morning (afternoon in this case) email check. I see that a friend that I met online a year ago is there online, so I drop him an instant message. It was a really weird way how we met.
I was planning on relocating to NYC due to my job. I even had the apartment picked out. I was very excited. I had been going to NYC for about a year at this time, and was always lonely, so I posted a personal ad looking for a friend in the city to hang out with, and if it turned into something great, if not, I can say I met a cool person. I found this site in a book I was reading at the time. (Craigslist.org) Anyway...
I post the ad, and tons of crazy people respond, and one man responds, and send me a picuture of a man dressed in all black and squating next to a picture of legs in stilletto heels...making him look like the legs were his....wonderful pic, you just have to see it. I was compelled to write to this man, really just because I was drawn to the really interesting picture, and wanted to see what this guy was about.
Emails turned into talking online, to the phone, to plans to meet that never occured because he was always out of town when I was in town. This happened 3 or 4 times at least. He had this habit of falling asleep when I talked to him that we still joke about.
So as I sit at my computer, and we talk...he asks if I want to meet him in Central Park...I tell him to be careful what he offers, as I may take him up on it. He was serious about the offer. I was kind of surprised at first...thinking that it would be kind of weird meeting someone that I had never met before, but to meet him and his 4 children? What the hell...I go for it. I meet him in the park, and its so nice. His children are wonderful, and we play soccer. Afterward, he invites me over and we drink wine, chat with his oldest daughter who is super cool I might ad, and he cooks dinner. We have a chance to finally chat alone a bit. Its just like our old online chats...comfortable, just like two buddies that have known each other for a long time. I think that is why I like this guy. He is so openminded, and for someone that lives in the land of conformidy, it is a breath of fresh air.
So, its time to leave, and meet G for and evening which I talked about earlier. We hugged, and I was off. It was nice to be able to touch what you have talked to for over a year.
