The Price Tag Barbie... With The Auburn Hair
The Price Tag Barbie... With The Auburn Hair Many y.ears ago, when I was a young man... I met a young woman... She was a price-tag Barbie, with painted-on jeans and those fuck me, charcoal eyes. I was never sure... if they were half-open, or half-closed. I guess, it depended on the time of day. Auburn hair, brushed her waist... and her tall, confident stride - always turned heads. She would have been a candle, in someone's eye... but not mine. I wanted nothing to do with her. She slowly, sauntered up to me - through the dark... and across the light. I leaned up against my car and watched... as she stirred that quiet parking lot, with her shadow. The fine gravel, under her black leather boots, crunched to a rhythm of a song... with a title... that I couldn't remember. "Hi Paul . . . gotta light ?" "I don't smoke... You know I don't." "Oh... yeah... I remember." If I could, I would have rewound space and paused at the good times - a couple of y.ears ago... when I was 23. Those memories... had long faded, and the only ones left, were all sour and grey. She'd been drinking, or smoking... or both. Her glassy eyes, were large... black... pools. "I thought, it was you inside. I haven't seen you in what... 2 or 3 y.ears? Are you, uhh... in town for the... holidays? When dja' get in? Mike would prob'ly wanna see you. Did you see him in the bar tonight?" So many questions in a row, I didn't know which one to answer first. It didn't matter. She didn't really care, about my answers anyway. "Yeah. I saw Mike. I said hi to both of you. You don't recall?" "Oh yeah... yes... I do. Sure... You were talking to the drummer, Pete... uhhh... or Steve... I don't remember his name. So how long are you here for? How are your parents? How's your brother doing? I haven't seen you in so long. You're looking good Paul... yeah..." And her voice trailed off, as she lowered her gaze, and reached into her jeans... for a lighter - I presumed. Then a voice I recognized, yelled from across the parking lot. It was Mike. "Hey... Paul... Tell that girl you're with, we're going home. Unless she wants to go home with you?" he laughed. She turned around to Mike and waved, then looked back at me. "It was good to see you Paul. It was really, good to see you. You think... we'll run into each other again? We're coming back here tomorrow night. You know... Mike's doin' the sound for the band. I saw your band, is playing over at the Coliseum in Syracuse next week? Maybe Mike and I can make it for that. I'll speak with him... yeah... so anyway..." "Hey, ...! Are ya coming , or what ?" Mike's voice echoed across the lot. "I gotta run Paul. It was good to see you. Merry Christmas." She leaned over to me and gave me a hug. A tight one. I could smell her perfume, and the liquor on her breath. Then she turned her head and kissed me on the cheek. I felt her warm tears, as they dripped, off her cheek and onto mine. She pressed her lips, to my ear and whispered... "I love you Paul. I always will..." Then with a shove, she pushed against my shoulders, steadied herself and turned to walk away. As she did, she wiped her glistening eyes, with her hand. She would always cry and get emotional, when she'd been drinking. She'd always tell me that she loved me... when she was drunk. I watched as she walked back, across the parking lot... and into the shadows... again. "Merry Christmas," I whispered back... © December 2018 Paul P. ................................................. So... What is it about 'bad boys' and 'bad girls' that attracts us to them? Or is it just me? Do you like going to<b> bars </font></b>or small clubs where live bands ? ................................................ Yeah . . . 'Bad' boys and girls have a tendency to get under your skin. Or at least the 'bad' girls , had a way of getting under mine... I guess I was weak. Give me a live band in a small bar - any time. Something intimate and really enjoyable about watching a band where they are so close you can hear the of the sound of the snare drum without the for the mic. And the guys on stage are talking amongst themselves , between songs. . . .. . ... is there another way to look at it Going Too Fucking Far NEW Blog Features RevealeD O O A Foolproof Method Posted Over on that NEW site O O |

I don't know what it is about bad girls . . . I've only met a few in my life that have captured my attention, but they have done a damn good job of it. Something about forbidden fruit, or something that is just unattainable. They have succeeded in drawing me into their web on more than one occasion. Or is it something about my personality that draws that type of person towards me? I can't say I've regretted it. It has definitely been a great ride with them, while it has lasted. ... is there another way to look at it Going Too Fucking Far NEW Blog Features RevealeD O O A Foolproof Method Posted Over on that NEW site O O

As someone who played (plays) in a band, I really love going to bars with a live band. There's a vibe to it that is just great ! Especially when I know the band playing. There is a certain comradery about the guys in the band. We're all pulling for each other. I've even stepped in for some bandmates (last minute fill in), when they needed someone - and THAT is a thrill. Playing when you barely know the songs on the playlist... lol. Yep . . . Love going to see live bands ! The smaller the venue - the better. I've seen some great bands that turned out to be superstars, who started out as small club bands. Now THAT's a thrill... Being that close to people with talent... it's as if you are the first one to notice them, before the rest of the world does. ... is there another way to look at it Going Too Fucking Far NEW Blog Features RevealeD O O A Foolproof Method Posted Over on that NEW site O O

My bad girl days are gone- dammit and the boys wellll. I had a few that my mom thought were bad, but they were really just horny boys looking for a little jam session Bars around here well not in the boonies. The best band I ever saw was in a hole in the wall in boston: The Boston Tea Party The Who doing the first live performance of rock opera " Tommy". Never forget that and a weekend later The Grateful Dead before they got famous Mickey Hart could jump my bones any time LOL (Virtual Symposium Group) use Virtual Symposium Group

"Ever have one of those days when sadness and nostalgia wraps around your throat - like a warm scarf that you just don't want to take off... even if you know it's choking you? " Now we're even. I love a live band in a small setting.....no need to over amp the volume. Opportunity may knock only once, but temptation bangs on the door forever!

I used to be in the Bar as I worked there for over 20 years as a bar tender. Great times those were I even got to sing with some of the bands that played there. And yes something about a bad boy is HOT!!! I hope you enjoy your day..

'Bad boys' came in degrees of 'badness'. They were interesting to observe but were always held at arms' length. With 2 older brothers, dinner time conversations often included their quick assessment of 'No Way, Not That Guy". I couldn't wait for them to no longer be at the same high school lol. The music scene in Toronto is incredible. While major stadiums such as Rogers Centre and Scotiabank Arena regularly attract A-list acts like Beyoncé and Taylor Swift, the smaller venues provide a more intimate experience. No matter what style of music you are into, you won’t have trouble finding the hottest local and international acts in Toronto every night of the week.

I had a gf once that if we were drinking, we were together. We could split up and run into each other months later, get drunk, get back together. I finally gave her up. When I got divorced I googled her and saw she had a mugshot pic for Public Intoxication. The more I looked, the more I found, all alcohol related. Her mugshots were like a timeline of her face/hairstyles. They got progressively worse.

Hmmm.. Are any of them still to together? I guess there's a fine line between, fun and I've had enough of that. I hear you. Of course I'm romanticizing those bars now, since I haven't been to one is years. But I've been to small clubs and seen great up and coming bands. Waitress at a C&W bar... Wow. I'll bet you have some stories... to share ... ! 😱😎🙌 ... is there another way to look at it Going Too Fucking Far NEW Blog Features RevealeD O O A Foolproof Method Posted Over on that NEW site O O

Nope never hooked up with the ‘bad boys’. They were a curiosity more than anything else. And no, didn’t hang with the bands but my first ‘boyfriend’ was a drummer. ... is there another way to look at it Going Too Fucking Far NEW Blog Features RevealeD O O A Foolproof Method Posted Over on that NEW site O O

Your first boyfriend was a drummer ? Hey... I'm a drummer... Go figure.. Does that mean you're attracted to guys with big sticks, who can carry a beat? Ya think there's a chance we could be friends ? I might be able tap a beat or two that might impress you. Just taking a guess.. 😁 So do you cha cha ?🎵

I freakin loved one of the opening lines... " I was never sure... if they were half-open, or half-closed. I guess, it depended on the time of day." I tend to think you are an expert writer, worthy of publishers... very good use of words there!!! I like those kind of small bars or pubs, My mom was a expert bartender, the best in town. I watched her with awe!! Every band member of the house band... ended up in love with her. And she wasnt prompting a thing! My Momma was a Dish!!!!

Do I cook ? Yes . . Won't do us much good if I bring the food to you when it's cold. We're going to have to find a way to get a bit closer to each other for you to enjoy my cooking.
