Well I'm the guy who will shoot alone if I feel like playing and nobody else is :tongue2:
Playing both sides, sinking all in numerical order, playing 3 ball- you have three shots to sink 3 balls, the break counts as one.

What usually happens is someone sees me playing with myself (:wink:) and comes over to join me. And sometimes nobody does, and I still enjoy it :lol:

it's always nice when people notice that you're plying with yourself and offer to lend you a hand

I used to be a major bar fly.  I'd stop in for a burger and a beer on my way home from work or out doing something.  From 21 to probably 24 or 25 I was in a bar at least 3 nights a week.  Then after that maybe a couple nights a week.  Now maybe one night every 2 weeks if I'm lucky.  I used to go alone a lot only rarely would it bother me.  But I don't have a license right now do to drinking and if I go to the bar it's because I'm getting a ride with someone.  I still wish I could just go solo sometimes. I like not having to cater to anyone,  just tune in and meet new people.  Seems when i go or meet up with people it gets clicky.  When I'm flying solo I get in with new crews after the loner weirdo factors mellows out.  I don't know... thats just me I guess.

I'm thinking of starting this soon. Just to get out and be in a social environment more often.

I feel you, there's certain hangout places I like going alone cuz if I take my friends they kind of drag my down since, well... they try too hard to, like, "impress" other people when they are around me, or at least to "measure up", instead of just being themselves and being honest, and it gets awkward for me cuz I know they truth and to me they sound like fools just blatantly lying to strangers so they will sound more impressive. Cuz most of my friends didnt go to college and are either unemployed or have shit jobs and some are addicted to hard drugs. So when the topic conversation naturally flows into what everyone is doing with their lives and I tell people about what I do for work and my level of education, I guess  my friends feel like they have to measure up or they will look like losers compared to me or something. So oftentimes they straight up lie- like to an extreme level ("I'm in medical school" :kingtard:) And I simply refuse to cosign someone's bullshit like that, idc if you're a friend. So then I just end up being silent while they make some shit up and it's really lame. It's a lot better when I'm alone and I can just have natural conversation with new and interesting people who aren't full of shit

yeah man thing is I was put in a (then brand new) public school pilot program that gives instruction in spanish so I was with the same exact group of people from ages 5-13 and even in high school i basically stayed friends with the same people so I never had to try to make new friends until I got to college, i was just always with the same crowd. i appreciate knowing spanish but i kind of got screwed on the social aspect of the program. most other kids, i feel, were forced to learn how to make new friends more frequently than I was. I'm just now learning how to do it as an adult- at age 24, finally branching out from the group of friends i made at age 5 cuz well, they are not cutting it for me anymore. but there is still some sort of loyalty factor I can't deny no matter how lame I think they are becoming simply because we've known each other for so long

Luckily I was kind of forced into a situation where making new friends was a must. My freshman year of college I just hung out with a kid on my floor and some people he knew from his hometown. They were cool dudes, and they actually called me over the summer to ask if I wanted to fill an empty room they had, but I already had living arrangements at that point. Those arrangements were a fraternity house that also needed extra bodies to fill rooms. I only barely knew one of the guys b/c I had a class with him and I didn't fill out my second year dorm app on time, so he hooked me up with a room. Now six years later almost all of my friends in Ohio are because of that house. When I think back about it it's kind of wild. Everyone I've lived with since then, most of the people I hang out with, etc. either lived in that house or were friends of people that lived in the house.

Sometimes I wonder what my life would be like if I filled out my dorm application on time, or if I decided to live with those other guys instead of in the frat house.

I wasn't even in the frat, I just lived in the house. It was awesome :lol: All the benefits without having to pay dues, go to meetings, or do community service.

I feel like I always end up just sitting at the bar waiting for someone interesting to show up, something to happen, and it never does.




This is how I feel about bars / clubs in general, or rather contemporary American society. Its harder to find interesting people now than it used to be, shit a lot of bars where they actually have live music won't let the musicians drink on stage.

Woopity fucking do

I have never been to a venue that didn't let the musicians drink on stage, and I've been to a lot of shows.

Obviously you have, otherwise you wouldn't have brought it up. I'm contesting the "a lot" part of that statement.

Do you ever go to the bar to drink alone? I'm 24 and I've never done it but I'm thinking about it. I've always gone with friends. It just never really occurred to me to go alone until recently, and that's only because my old friends are now moving separate ways in life or moving down a path I don't want to go down, so I don't hang with them much anymore. Do you sit there alone and drink before approaching anyone or wait to approached? Do you just walk up to people as soon as you get there and start socializing? What's your strategy? Is it fun?




i only go to the bar alone
my strategy? be myself
is it fun? usually

not always though

Well I never noticed until actually playing on stage, hopefully it was just in the particular area since I haven't played any shows outside of there. Done some busking but until last year no shows
