Canada Day, Prince's Island Park. Reid and I are strolling around the beautiful downtown park thinking, "Gee willickers, it's a beautiful day. I bet we'll see a whole bunch of purdy ladies!" Although we were right, we mostly saw boyfriends, wedding rings, pregnancies, and families attached to thesed purdy ladies. This prompted the question, where are the single women on Canada day?
Is there some sort of secret hideout to which eligible single people go in order to have a good time and hook up? Why was I not informed?!?!
I'm sure Sara was thinking the same thing as us, except about guys. As far as I know, she and her friends were the only single people we saw today.
Now when I say I'm looking for single people, I don't mean I'm looking for bar folk who just want to hook up. I'm sure they aren't looking for me and I'm not looking for them. I'm looking for the single people who are smart, funny, attractive, etc. and also want some kind of actual relationship. Why are they so hard to find?
Maybe all these people are so fed up that they can't find anyone like them, that they just waste their party time in their basement, blogging about how they can't find people with similar interests and goals. That would be the ultimate injustice.
PS: I got a big hug from Tristin (see previous posts) today, which is the most action I've had in many months. Fucking A (scroll down to the F's).

you're my hero johnny. yes, it was great to run into you and we all basked in our wonderful singleness warmth amidst the pouring fucking rain.
heh, i say do lavalife like me! haha, we acn both be nerds to the extreme.
i'm in a sad mood today, so i will spend my time not in my basement, but in my room most likely. talk with you soon!
Well, all the COOL single people were at a karaoke party... haha - there are so many things wrong with that sentence.
Okay, I'm NOT cool, but I am single and I was at a karaoke party...
No, seriously, here's the problem. You can't go out looking for single people. You have to do your own thing, what you enjoy and what you're interested in, and the single people will find you. (At least, that's what I keep telling myself... You probably shouldn't be taking advice from another member of singledom...)
In answer to your question...
Online! Posting Blogs! Being COOL.
Okay, enough of that.
"You have to do your own thing, what you enjoy and what you're interested in, and the single people will find you."
That might work for a girl, but for better or worse, guys usually have to be the instigator. Damn sexist society.
Hmm, I'm not sure if I'm ready to take the Lavalife plunge yet. My friend Lauren found her current boyfriend (of ~1 year) through that service, but I'm convinced it was a fluke.
I'm not going to touch that Cool Single People + Karaoke comment.
I also agree with Kevin that guys are often forced to be the instigators. This sucks if the guys are chickenshit, like me.
Johnny, I'm sure I am more chickenshit than you.
As for karaoke...I think I've done it, oh yes, thrice! But only twice when absolutely smashed, therefore only had fun twice!
The other time...I was at the bar with just my buddy. He told me I had sbsolutely the worst karaoke voice ever. I don't think I'd disagree, but I'd probably do it again sometime.
hehe, all these comments amuse me. really, your blog is popular.
i wouldn't worry about our mass single status...why? well my reasoning is that due to the fact it is summer the fields are ripe for picking. my theory is that summer time is the perfect time for new relationships to start as everyone is already in heat....(oh god awful pun, but i'm letting it stand)
plus people tend to be more happy and outgoing in the summer. at least i am.
moreso, i think from now on girls and guys should just throw caution to the wind and make the move on the person they like...life would be so much more simple. (now let's see me take my own advice)
