Everywhere I go, Everywhere I've been....The only thing I see is....

Is Beautiful People

I have to admit, I'm pretty happy with myself right now. No not because I met 49, although the potential was definitely there. No I'm happy because I realize that I can be the life of the party, AND I'm pretty good at it. I spent my Saturday of this weekend in Atlantic City and really its one of the only times I've have a completely fun time without hooking up with anyone (this does not include making out because we when I dance I can't help myself). Perhaps it was the fact that I started drinking at 2 pm and kept drinking till 3 am but really I just put it all out there and it worked out so well. I even made some decent money gambling, so pretty much it was a great weekend.

As far as any stories, there were a few moments that I would like to share. During the daytime I spent most of the time explaining many of the games with the people I went with, them being first time gamblers, and having games explained by me. I've told you all before that I'm a craps man, but i discovered a new 3 card poker game, "let it ride" that is pretty fun as well. The reason I love craps so much is because it's a game that when someone wins, everyone wins, and when someone loses, everyone loses. So the table is always rooting for the dice roller and anytime they hit a good roll everyone gets excited. So as I sipped on free drinks at the craps table the pit boss (guy who makes sure the bets are placed right when you want them and such) and I were just commenting on all the various women that would walk by. He would say something like "See those heels on that one" or "look at that tramp stamp" and I would laugh and reply with some unwitty comment. He was a guy in his late 50s or early 60s but pretty hilarious. During this time I realized that there were just so many good looking people in town this weekend that it HAD to be a good night. Even if I don't take someone home, just being around attractive people, talking to them, interacting with them, dancing with them leads me to have a great time so I was excited.

Fast-forward to the free $30 buffet we all got plus the half off admission into the pool bar and the night's bar activities began. It was my first time actually making it out the Harrah's resort and Casino which is famous for having this indoor pool with bars all around it. During the daytime it's more the hang out spot for hotel guests but at night time it turns into a club bumping house music and attracting all of Atlantic City. Most of the time the pool itself is unoccupied, but the complex is full of about 8 different bar areas and an outside patio plus a dance floor, so you can imagine people like to come hang out and have a good time. Perhaps the best part of going to the Pool Bar on this night was that I reaffirmed my love for Bachelorette Parties. Sometime before I mentioned that these parties are a pretty great thing to witness, but now I believe it's the single best reason for a group of girls to gather. Usually you get a wide variety of women per bachelor so it's nice to match up with a group of guys, especially if you're rolling deep, which I don't like but was the case for us. Since I was in a good mood (people and girl watching usually ALWAYS puts me in a good mood) I took it upon myself to be the one to go up and start conversations with every bachelorette we came across. It's perfect because you already have a great in, I like to lead with a simple "Congrats" and then depending on the situation I'll do one of two things. 1.)The bride to be responds kindly so I spark a conversation with her, asking who the maid of honor is and what activities they have planned, or 2.) The maid of honor takes it upon herself to introduce herself to me and include me and my friends in whatever activity they are doing. I know for anyone never in this situation it may seem odd, but I kid you not this formula led me to.....getting free shots (which was nice because drinks are SO overly priced there. $10 well shots), getting a group of girls to dance with all the guys I was with, making some friends, making out with a couple girls, getting flashed by a bride to be....yup, and me gaining all kinds of new (and dangerous) confidence.

I see it this way, people who take vacations or trips to these places EXPECT to have a good time, so I'm just a person they see as a way to help them accomplish their goals. It's all about being interactive and playful and getting everyone involved. I never would have been chosen as the recipient for that boob flashing had I not been the one to try to get two debbie downers of the group involved. Think Tucker Max without all the A*hole comments and antics. So when we find ourselves in these "This night will be as fun as we make it" situations, it is a shame for any one of us not to make that night the "best night of our life"

We ended up staying at the pool bar till about 3:30am, which is crazy because I've never really been in clubs that long, I mean sometimes you hit a 2:30 or 2:45 but when we left it was very much still packed and people were partying hard. We got there between 11:30 and 12am sometime, not really sure. After all the bachelorette party stuff, I decided to "take a lap", I'm sure we all know what this means at this point. For those who don't, taking a lap is basically a way to walk around the bar/club and search for potential hookups or at least people to dance with. Since I was rolling solo, at some point I got separated from the rest of the group, per usual, I was looking for well girls by themselves or at most two girls who looked like they worked well together. Eventually my usual "eye contact" method worked and this girl grabbed me and threw me in the center of her and her two friends. This group became my main contact for the night and eventually I "said hello" to the cutest single one. I say cutest single because in my opinion the cutest one had a boyfriend, I found some disagreement with my friends about this but we all know a lot of the time I have STRANGE tastes so it is what it is. At some point they all told me their full names (I like to ask for full names with girls I like, because it leaves the potential for me to facebook then and have future facebook flirting situations) but of course I forgot them all. I am so terrible with names that I almost forget them instantly. So throughout the night I asked each one again individually, and I still forgot them. I literally spent 30 mins in my hotel room trying to remember just one of their names but I did not succeed. If I couldn't remember names then it was hopeless when the girl I was making out with tried to tell me her number as they left the club, I didn't even remember the area code.... So I guess I self sabotaged myself into going home alone, but I really didn't think twice about it as this point. I was on a entirely different level of fun and proud of myself for taking the initiative so much in the night.

Well As it took my way too long to get home today from AC, I don't remember all the funny little details I was going to share about my night but that's the basic idea of it. We let ourselves have as much fun as we want to have. I love good looking people and get really excited when I'm around them. And I don't need to hook up to have the best night of my life in AC...Go figure.


You know if I continue this trend, of not needing or WANTING to hook up, maybe there's hope for 50 afterall ha ha
