I'm getting really disappointed in Cleveland. Or maybe I'm just disappointed in the Internet. See, I'm looking to meet people, to make new friends, etc. and whatever -- but the types of people I'm meeting online are sub-par. I suppose that I should question my friend-meeting technique. Maybe I should just go out into that great big world and try to make friends in person, in real life, in real time. But that's just too impractical. Using the Internet is fast, efficient and . . . frustrating.
Browsing the personal ads I realize that the majority of women have no problem posting pics of their genitals. Not just nice, tasteful, artistic pics of genitals, but raunchy, rashy, red pics of their spread-eagle genitals. I'm starting to become less perturbed by the throng of male genital pics out there -- at least the penis is this insignificant and mostly silly-looking little piece of flesh that doesn't really have the same gross-out factor. As far as I'm concerned, if you've seen one penis, you've seen them all. But vaginas? There's a LOT of variety.
Anyway. so I don't think I'm open to meeting someone who posts a genital pic on their profile.
The next category of potential friends and lovers includes those who can't spell or who are too lazy to type out complete sentences, those who have had six children by the age of 20, and those who list Nascar and hunting as their sole hobbies. Am I getting too picky?
The next category of people includes those who are generally respectful, who have a relatively wide variety of interests, and who understand the basic requirements of intelligent conversation. This category is tricky because you'll get all these lying psychos hiding behind what seems sort of, well, nice. Don't be fooled!
So what's the answer? Is it possible to meet any decent people online? Am I going to have to become a freaking Jehovah's Witness to make a friend? I don't even believe in Jehovah for Christ's sake!

So, reworded, it looks like this.
You should come out to some of the SG Cleveland events, if you're not in the group I'll let you know when the next one is.
Or just check out some shows at the Grog Shop and Beachland Ballroom/Tavern. I know that DON CABALLERO and DRUMS AND TUBA and TORTOISE are among the good acts coming through town soon. Do you have any interest in seeing those shows?
