I met her in 2006, I had a contract in Fort Worth, Texas and worked there for almost a year... She I met her in 2006, I had a contract in Fort Worth, Texas and worked there for almost a year... She was the hotel manager where I spent the nights Monday thru Thursday, returning back to my house Fridays for the weekend... She said she only liked country music... she said a lot of things back then, mostly that she didn't like anything that she already didn't know... I thought that that was so venutian of her... I know, some of you will say, what a stereotypical fuck... and, that's ok, because history has provided me with many lessons... Anyway, it started innocently enough as she provided all of the guests with 'cross marketing' coupons from local restaurants where you got a free appetizer or a 'BOGO' or something, in exchange, she gave the restaurants free advertising and reduced rates to other businesses to co-brand what they were doing... Well, of course Dreamboy was only too happy to try any and all of the coupons that she handed out... At one point, I even complained how could I not when the little candy baskets that they gave away monthly for some kind of business promotion... when I complained about that, Delilah (I've fantasized about the singer Delilah out of European fame... I may post some of her songs, she really moves me... but, that is another post... for this excerpt, I choose to call my lover 'Delilah'  laughed so hard that she was crying... and, the regional manager for the hotels was in the back area and she came up front and wanted to know what was so funny... when she found out that I was complaining about how come I never win the monthly basket, she reached over grabbed the basket and said: 'congratulations, you win the monthly drawing'... of course I said seems like this promotion is rigged, but, I'll take it... that brought another round of laughs...Well, then one thing led to another and she joined me for dinner one night and we went to a steak restaurant in Fort Worth near the zoo. the hotel was off of South University about a 1/2 mile from I-30 and just five minutes from the office... I got to sample many restaurants during that 10 month stretch in Fort Worth... But, what was incredibly pleasing to me, among other things was that she never asked or let me pay for the meals, with or without the discount coupon... Yes, later on, she would let me pay for my meal... but, rarely, she wanted to keep these outings at a professional level... She had an easy going manner... she was a great listener, and had a beautiful, healthy laugh... but, she also could tell me some stories that were very funny... we sampled many restaurants over the next few months without becoming romantically involved... I do things slow, and easy... I don't need to rush into anything... that was also her way... we all have closets, past memories, some good, some not so good, some we just want to eradicate out of our lives... but, those were here too, and they will not leave easily... anyway, my point to this particular story is the 'I only like country music' statement that she made during my first impression of her... that is normally 'a deal breaker' for me... country music is not one of my fav genres, but, every now and then one of those songs comes and moves me ever so gently... So, before you know it, she allows me to drive her to places instead of meeting me there after her shift... She was a stickler for company policy and what you could and couldn't do with guests... I joked to her, that, perhaps, I should move to a different hotel so that she would have less inhibitions... she had a good laugh at that one... well, we hit restaurants like: 'Pappadeaux'; 'SaltGrass'; 'Texas De Brazil'; 'Sushi Rock'; 'PF Changs'; and others... she loved them, and we had some great conversations... I also introduced her to the Fort Worth 'Water Gardens'... some of you will remember that I posted another blog about that incredible site on my train trip to Fort Worth with Azhar (I'm going to have finish the hot air balloon story sometime...). Well, for weeks we enjoyed each other's company... So, here's the crazy thing... I loved the group Ambrosia from the late 70s & 80s eras... and, when the movie 'Knocked Up' came out in June of 2007, Ambrosia launched a tour starting in March of 2007. One of the cities they were going to visit was Dallas. They announced a free concert in March, 2007 outside of the American Airlines center... I said, I'm in... and I put it on my calendar and decided to go, trouble is, nobody cared about going with me... except Delilah, said what the heck, she hadn't heard of them, and she would go with me... By this time, she wasn't as in to country music has she had been earlier... Now, this is us having dinners out for a few months with nothing else going on... Hmmm, I've probably lost most of you by now, but, this is my story... so, I will continue... She'd been listening to my songs.. as some of you know I cut my own cds... I get inspiration from youtube; some of you; my ; and people I meet... but, mostly, it is me spending time listening to various musicians on youtube... She started liking my songs... as you might gather, I don't like people touching my buttons in my car or even a perfect stranger (female) groping me (I threw that in because one of the bloggers I read posted a blog about what guys would do if unknown females walked up to them and groped them... That is not me... I don't do that to women, if a woman wants me to touch her, then, she will say 'Dreamboy, touch me, or she will grab my hand or body part and have her excitement, if she and I want that, and only then... it is respect for a human being...). In a bedroom, that is a different story... Anyway, I don't like people messing with the buttons on my car... I don't do that to people... well, she was polite and she asked me to re-play a song... she did that a lot... because there was more to life than 'country'... So, we go to the concert... Delilah brought a thick blanket/comforter for us to sit on because it was an outside venue... there were less than 500 people gathered to listen to the 2 hour concert... they played all of the songs I liked including the song 'Biggest part of me' that was featured on the movie soundtrack... That's the first time that I saw Katherine Heigl... Yes, she is in my sliding top 30 too... I am a weak, flawed creature, but, I know what I like... Back to the concert... I found myself singing to some of the songs and Delilah was just watching me be the that I am... I don't think there is anything wrong with singing in the shower or singing in the car or singing at a concert... My thinks I'm crazy 'cause I've taken her to a few concerts and we both sing the songs while driving to the concert and then we belt them out as the band is playing them... I don't care... alas, I am not a 'gifted' singer like some of you... but, I don't care... if I like a song, a band, even a female band (now this is kind of crazy), one of my 's friends is crazy... her name is Courtney... and when I mention her to my I refer to her as Crazy Courtney... my rolls her eyes and flips her hair when I do that, but, I can't help it... 'That's how much I feel, feel for you baby... ' one of the lyrics... I'm not in tune, but, I'm having fun... what a fun time we both had... mainly, Delilah is laughing at me, because she is seeing a grown man sing songs with a band in public... I've done stranger things than this in public, but, some of you have read those blogs... they were selling cds after the concert... I bought her one, and the band autographed it... she gave it back to me, 'cause she knew how much I liked it... but, I told her, only if she accepted another would I take it back... so, she accepted the bands greatest hits cd that I bought and she wore that cd out... before you knew it she was humming their songs... 'country girl, my ass'... it's just a matter of perspective really... Well, that's enough for this story... please let me know your thoughts... thanks, in advance... gettin' ready to go to Winstar today...
