What is it about city driving and clueless drivers that are prone to
getting lost that is not a good comination? I was supposed to meet Uvon
Tuesday at a Starbucks in Edgewater at about 8:30PM. I had to get off
on Bryn Mawr which, I swear was before Belmont. All my years going to
Wrigley Field, I swear it was before Belmont. So, I drove all the way
to what I thought was the end of LSD and didn’t see it. I thought I
might have missed it, so I turned around to see. This was only 8:15, so
I THOUGHT I had plenty of time. I drove all the way back to Michigan
Ave and did not see it. Then, I had to turn around, which was an ordeal
in itself. FUCK FUCK FUCK!!!. It was 8:30, and I still hadn’t found it.
I kept driving past where I thought was the end of LSD and as it turns
out, it was the next street, if only I had kept on going just a little
further. Next, I had to try to find Starbucks. It turns out I drove
past it a couple of times and never saw it. I started to look for
parking, but there just was none. It was ridiculous. Finally, at about
8:50PM, I pulled over at a Shell station and called him. He said he
would come to me. I waited at the Shell and after about 5 or 10
minutes, he showed up. He looked different from his picture, but he was
still sorta cute. Taller than I expected. We drove around looking for
parking again. After about another 10 minutes, I finally found a spot.
We parked and walked the couple of blocks to his apartment.I really enjoyed talking to him. We had some great conversations. He
told me all about his plan of world domination, which involved
moonshine and cows………….don’t ask, I don’t quite understand it
either. We also spoke for quite some time about religon, I was curious
as to how he could be Christian that goes to church every week, yet he
is gay. It was interesting. We talked a lot about politics and even
sports, which was cool. 3 of my favorite topics. Anywho, I left about
11ish. He was even nice enough to walk me to my car, which was a good
thing, seeing as I probably would have gotten lost and wound up in Lake
Michigan.
