the unofficial Italian connection

had a strange but mostly good weekend
followed by a crappy week
which is why I haven't had
the chance to share it with yall yet

Friday night, I went out with a buddy of mine and a group of friend
for his birthday, he got mighty sloshed and I finally dragged his ass home
at nine thirty in the morning

Saturday, mostly recovery went to see a band with same friend
end of the evening I met a girl
we talked briefly about time spent in Italy,
[she spent eight months in school there]
speaking Italian and our shared revulsion for the french language

Sunday, actual recovery from Friday and Saturday
hung out at a friends house played old school strategy games
was much fun, at the end of the night I was in a bad place
thought I was gonna lose which is rare for me in such type games
but we got back together on Tuesday to finish the game and
I pulled a magnificent victory out of my ass
[even with a last turn of the game rules change, that screwed with my plans]
so that was good cause I don't much like losing

Monday, went out with a whole bunch of people for St Patricks day.
danced with friends, had a good time
some forty year old pervert threatened to kill me
cause I got between his pederastic ass and some very young/small girls
he was rubbing up against
I told him that he was welcome to do so
but seeing as the group of five guys standing next to me
another group of large fellow about ten feet on the other side of him
the band, the bouncers and the owners of this particular bar
were all friends of mine, it would definitely be his last act
I turned my back on him and continued dancing
and not surprisingly two seconds later when I looked
he was gone, didn't see him again for the rest of the night
went outside a while later for some fresh air
was schmoozing with some chicks
when a girl walked up to me
put her cell phone next to my ear and said
can you give my friend directions to here
I said sure and started to do so
the guy had a heavy accent and I was having trouble understanding him
so I asked the girl where he was from
she said Italy
and the look on her face when I turn to the phone
and started speaking Italian to him was truly priceless
for those few of you who are Italian on my friends list
I am fairly good at speaking it but definitely need to add a few extra "un po"
between capisco and italiano
anyway it was good enough to impress the drunk chick
and get her Italian man to the bar
so I call it a success.
then she introduced me to her sister
who I already knew somehow
who introduced me to her friend
[who I am going to set up with another friend of mine on Saturday]
and they dragged me back to the dance floor
I danced and schmoozed with them for a while
before noticing that one of my friends was
extremely drunk and making an ass of himself with a small group of women
so
I excused myself to rescue him and them
and headed us towards home

Tuesday and Wednesday were pretty much miserable
and I am not going to talk about them except to say
that before I went to bed yesterday
I had a delightful conversation with the girl from the first part of this post
and I am picking her up tonight at 8:30 for cocktails, dancing and maybe a little pool
which I am looking forward too

been feeling a little like I might be getting sick this morning
so I am gonna take some dayquil and rest most of the day
and hopefully I can stave it off at least till the date is over with.

and now I am gonna get a whole bunch of laundry done
so later I can have clean clothes to wear
which is prolly a good thing eh?

(no subject)

I just read this article by Dan Savage
in his weekly column "Savage Love"

Basically it discusses the conflict arising from different sexual needs/drives/fantasies in relationships

He responds to three letters

The first is from a guy whose girlfriend doesnt provide adequate sexual services, and who gets pissed off when he masturbates thereby meeting his own needs
The second is from a guy who has been married 17 years and gets almost no sex from his wife, so he started seeing prostitutes, his wife found out and the shit is hitting the fan
The third is from a girl who is "in love" with a guy who is not as sexually adventurous as she would like to be.

In each case he pretty much says demand that you get what you need either from them or someone else, or dump em

I tend to agree, although I think to a certain extent it is your own damn fault for not being clear on your expectations from the get go.
If I was going to marry a chick, she would damn well know up front that I expect regular marital relations to continue in a similar vein as the relationship has had.
Now I would not cheat under any circumstances, I would simply break up with/divorce them.

What obligations (specifically sexually, but not reserved to such) does a person have to maintain similar levels of service throughout a relationship?
If you have sex twice a day for two years before you get married and it drops to once a week, would that constitute a material breech of contract?
If your partner is unwilling to meet your sexual needs are you justified in stepping outside of the relationship?
[this pretty much only applies to marriage as I would find it ridiculous to stay in a non-binding relationship if you arent getting your needs met, sexual or otherwise]
