>>>> I write this blog as a sort of therapy I used to do a daily blog but it got to heavy and I had to stop so I'll limit my writings on life and my expectations to this space ... for the pleasure of the written word.

I've been around the block one time too many and I have sworn off relationships for a while ha ha... I don't need a steady gf because I got plenty of local girls checking me out as I walk downtown or hang out at my favorite Café. I have regular KARAOKE PARTYS at home and the network is building. As far as OKCupid goes as a tool to attract women it hasn't been as sucessful as one would have expected even though I'm at 99% WTF's I've never been out on a date or even really conversed with anyone really interesting enough to make me move my skinny ass into dating mode.

On the plus side OkCupid has helped me understand myself in more ways than one. The knowledge and pointers I obtained by answering all 2500 + questions showed me where I stood on different issues and decisions in my personal life. To see my personality traits mapped out in front of me was worth the price of admission alone.

I'm working in my garden on nice days I'm finished painting my roof this week probably tomorrow I've got a visitor Wednesday and Thursday but I'm open Friday if it's nice I do a music show on Main Street in Rawdon. I don't know it's getting late in the season; we had a great afternoon on the 27th played lot's of cool music and met more nice people The hat was good and we can go forward. I'm looking towards next summer.

And I'm wide awake I fell asleep after a good meal of Sunday's rice and some fried tomatos and onions with a little ham! I missed my friend Andre L. Who came over with some beer and talked with Louys and the beer too I guess ... why didn't somebody wake me up? Like I said it's raining and hopefully it will end at noon and the folks will be passing by en masse for my outside music show at the Café des Artistes in Rawdon 15h00. The leaves are bright autumn colors and that usually brings up people from the city to slum in Hicksville. I you are out and about Saturday afternoon drop over to the Café.

If you've read my profile and looked at the photos I present on the site you'll know what kind of man I am now, er again mmm like before, better when I was younger. RAMBLIN SOLO. I just can't shut up .. I've noticed that I attract women more when I'm focused and determined and when my goals are plain and simple. When I apply the One day at a time principal I arrive at this superior mindset that just does magic for me and attracts good people to me. I was down when my best girl moved out, it took about six months to ween off whatever hold she had on the old me. So what's the point again Daddy? I might paint if it doesn't rain I still have the other half to finish... I'm not kiddin you girl I'll tell you when I'm mobiling to Montréal and we can meet at the Wheel Club on Cavendish. Like I mention on my FACEBOOK we're screening musicians for Gigs around our area and Montréal Laval. We have connections at Pub St Paul and Bistro à JoJo. The band, 3 or 4 members, will start cheap and work up... wow just like in the old days :) For this Dude it's not really a case of MONEY but you don't refuse 100$ a man for a public show especially a new band. I'm so excited I feel 20 years younger haven't been serious with good musicians since the 80s when I worked with Craig Morrison. Well enough bla bla bla later.. ======================================================== More on my FACEBOOK HERE... Steve

I Had a pretty exciting week my ex came back around and sang up a storm. We talked laughed and partied. When I drove her back home I got that feeling I would never see her again the same way. She was feeling down because her last encounter didn't turn out the way she wanted. I was blue because I don't really have anyone who can turn me on like she does. We were a comfort to each other. I guess that's what it's all about about... live for the moment!

I've been choosing songs to present my new band if you're curious have a look at my FACEBOOK for the list and a vido I posted. http://www.new.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=25301224287

Have a nice weekend!

I'm looking for someone to carry my guitar when I go out to play. You get into the show free and you get to answer questions like is that your boyfriend? and how long has he been playing? and real mindbenders of the sort. Heeha just kiddin ya mam ;)

I'm working in my garden on nice days I'm painting my roof this week probably tomorrow I've got a visitor Wednesday and Thursday but I'm open Friday if it's nice I do a music show on Main Street in Rawdon.

From my place it's 5 minutes by car and a half hour walk in the woods if your in shape. Rawdon is built on a series of hills it has 2 rivers and 4 bridges. So it's a good walk up the some of the hills but there is a great flat part the main street Queen Street Stores and boutiques and downtown living.

I have a chalet on the Ouareau River it's nice and quiet and I'm always working on the house or on the grounds it's looking pretty good too. You would say it has potential and of course location. I have a canoe and some jackets and paddles we can go for a float there's no bugs on the water. Only the females bite.

I have a recording studio in one of the rooms and I practice my jazz and blues. Just so you realize I'm genuine I have some Youtubes my most popular is

That's me in a nut shell so what do ya think? Eh?

Hello Ladies in Montréal.

I read your profiles and looked at your photos ..there are a lot of pretty women here! I like the tests and the psycholigical leaning of this dating site, but I haven't met anyone in person yet. I'm just too busy, or not in the mood. Making contact with someone on line is easy enough to do, but staying interested is another matter. I'm really interested in a musical person someone who has the abilities to perform and record music.

I'm not here for sex, I really don't need it all that much, prefering to hang with my friends and meet new people. If you are looking for someone to really rock yer boat try a 25 year old. Oh I have the experience that's for sure but with the passage of time it's not as consuming as when I was a young BUCK.

Playing my music and writing have become even more a my passion in life and it goes a long way keeping my mind clear. One day soon I will meet someone who matches me well over 70% and I will then welcome a relationship.

Have fun and keep in touch.

Steve

Ok I usually write this stuff on the fly on the blog but this edition must be published only after a few reads an hopefully more edits. So whats so important this morning well the sun will rise if that’s not to much to ask. I had wonderful nite of self discovery and was tested many times during the evening so much so that I had to go for prolonged walks just to stay out of the line of fire. Oh I came up against a few young men tonite and walked away with more than my pride intact.

I’m 60 and I’m proud of it. I’ve reached a stage in my incarnation where the blade is at it’s sharpest when it’s pointed at me. How I manage not to get cut seems to be dependent on my powers of persuasion . Tonite I tested the powers of persuasion to well almost the limit I’m not much of a gambler prefer to wager on a sure thing.

I was tested at the iNN tonite by my fan Master J. ... I’ll admit what I did was wrong. I apologize bad call on my part. Master J had been on my case since I started hosting the Karaoke Friday Nites I really wondered why he saw me as a threat I’m at least twice his age we’re not interested in the same babes ha ha ha. Sorry to say he was as usual, very inconsiderate of my station, although he wouldn’t understand this at this stage in his life. I very wise man stepped in and allowed Master J and I to save face and I was able to leave the terrace in peace.

I made my way down to the alternative HOT SPOT in Rawdon the Manchester a place where I hadn’t really rallied behind since my brand of entertainment couldn’t bring in anymore than the sparse crowd that patronizes the out of the way establisment. The original zone was a railway turnaround that brought tourists up fom Montréal and Ottawa to summer and winter in Rawdon Township. Now that the Railroad has abandoned Rawdon 1961?... it’s just that place down the hill.

So I went to see what was happening .... there was JG and the Bartender S and a young fellow sitting at the VLT. So here I was explaining to S why I was slumming tonite .. anyways he was a great ear served a fine perculator coffee and got to hear my side of the story whether he wanted to or not. JG confirmed my genuinety by bragging about my prowess on the musical stage and merci beaucoup JG.

The only real bummer that had a problem was the VLT it seemed to be in my face for some strange reason kept harping away at very inopportune times. I had to skirt away more than a few times as VLT wanted me to play that silly game. I knocked a drink on the floor but immediately apologized and replaced it with some change I had in my pocket. I think VLT was in competiton with the house internet or something misplaced like that but it really smelled like DEA or it’s FOE.

Again I walked for a change of air and found myself again at the Red River and on the army-style bridge where I paced for an hour commenting on my lucky 649 ticked of 15MILLION and how I was going to use it to gain leverage to buy the flatlands at 348 and Vincent Massey and build low cost housing. The echo from the bridge was amusing and I ranted and raved about finding investors who were not profit motivated. I finally settled in my camper and bedded down till dawn. What a relief.

BTW I won’t check the ticket preferring to wait till they contact me. What you don’t want a Happy Ending?

Nice weather we're having eh? I'm not into swimming unless my granddaughter Marie-Jade pulls me into the water but I like canoeing and I turned my boat over and pushed it off the dock after supper tonite my dogs sat at the bow to keep the nose down and we paddled till almost dark. It's about time we have a few nice seasonal summer days after all the rain in July the wettest month since I've been here in Rawdon (1970).

Guess what? I'm off the pill.... ha ha! No really off the Happy Pill that my Doctor Charette prescribed for me 6 months ago at the start of the muni menace. They were to keep me balanced and focused and after a tough acclimatisation I got the benefit of typing 40 words per minute and even sharper wit. Writing notes in the blog amused me as I plotted out my own offense while my lawyer in Joliette planned my defense. You're not wondering why I say offense ? I hope not, because although it wasn't part of my original plan. I picked up quite a bit of strategy points just by dealing with this majormuni attempt to slap in the public face. Learning how to write tough truths without offending anyone in particular because we are only just fooling around... eh mam?

I know I know I know I'm gonna get bitchy as a bitch because, well, I got to tell you something else... I have finished my last carton of 12$ Indian Blend Cigarettes have sworn off and made a pact with my coloc to quit smoking. We got the patch and were going to put it on, but we changed our mind we're going to try to go cold turkey. OOhh you say that's hard.. well it's a lot harder than my dick is these days and although my cardiologist was ready to reserve Viagra for me down at Pill Palace, I told her no! It might be bad for my heart.

Anyway the truth is I don't have trouble meeting women for sex but I just can't get Dickey to come along anymore. I know that for a lot of girls like to feel the squirt of a man on the inside .. and as a bonus I have been well hmm castrated by my ex .. well not really but we did agree that I get snipped at least they didn't saw my balls off. So while theoretically I'm still able to shoot blanks even the pleasure of self fulfillment has diminished and I blame it on the Happy Pills. While it goes up readily; nothing comes down.

Ok so nobody wants to hear a middle aged man go on about his personal male problems or do they? Another good question is what are we gonna do with the patches and the extra Viagra? If anyone has anything to add or just want to send us shit use the comment button.

I especially would like to read something by Denny Crane on this matter I know he's got an opinion on this subject and others too.

Well it's time to go dancing at the iNN. Should I give a link to the first-ever dotcom dedicate to Rawdon's Watering hole where a big beer is 6.50$ and 5$ will get you into see a rockband on Saturday nites. No I'm not going to promote him this time he sort of was inconsiderate of my needs the last time we talked in his office. But if you clik the link above you will find him half way down the page. You know that the blue and pink page has been online as a tribute to the Rawdon Inn since the summer of 2000. At that time when I asked for a donation the boss told me "internet who needs that!" Well obviously you do man and you finally realized that Steve Solo was right as usual.

I decided to try my luck finding a personality type INFJ ....
Most ENFPs will exhibit the following strengths with regards to relationships issues:

* Good communication skills
* Very perceptive about people's thought and motives
* Motivational, inspirational; bring out the best in others
* Warmly affectionate and affirming
* Fun to be with - lively sense of humor, dramatic, energetic, optimistic
* Strive for "win-win" situations
* Driven to meet other's needs
* Usually loyal and dedicated

Most INFJs will exhibit the following strengths with regards to relationships issues:
* Warm and affirming by nature
* Dedicated to achieving the ultimate relationship
* Sensitive and concerned for others' feelings
* Usually have good communication skills, especially written
* Take their commitments very seriously, and seek lifelong relationships
* Have very high expectations for themselves and others (both a strength and weakness)
* Good listeners
* Are able to move on after a relationship has ended (once they're sure it's over)

If you are INFJ we may be able to hit it off. Talk to me

A man sees Death before him, and asks, “Have I died?" He feels, in fact, rather empty and desolate. And Death answers, "Yes, in a way. You sacrificed your old world, your old self. Both are gone, dead." The man reflects on that, "How sad." Death acknowledges this with a nod. "Yes, but it is the only way to be reborn. A new Sun is rising, and it is, for you, a time of great transformation." As Death rides away, the man can feel the truth in those words. He, too, feels like a skeleton, all that he was stripped away. This, he understands, is how all great transformations start, by stripping things to the bone, and building fresh upon the bare foundations.

Although the Death card can signal a death in the right circumstances (a question about a very sick or old relative, for example), but unlike its dramatic presentation in the movies, the Death card is far more likely to signal transformation, passage, and change. The Death card indicates this transition from lower to higher to highest. This is a card of humility, and may signal for you that you are at a low, but may soar higher than you ever have before.
