as i’m typing this i’m on a laptop in my hotel room in Topeka. I just got back from the downstairs bar in the Ramada where i’m staying. I went by myself but I enjoyed it none-the-less. One of the bartenders was a young attractive girl who also worked the front desk a few days ago when i first came up here. She was amongst a group of front desk girls who made fun of me because i was new and she said to visit her at the bar friday when i came back so thats what i did. I enjoyed watching all the drunks dance to this jazzy live band it was enjoyable. I really felt like i was living the railroader life sitting in that bar(although unlike most dudes i avoid embarrassing myself by not trying to hook up with some random girl–uhh yeah not my thing).
I dont know why it is with me, but i really enjoy being in far away places and doing things by myself. its wierd. This being on the road thing is definitely for me, especially while i’m single.
Also, it seems everywhere i go on the railroad everyone thinks i’m like 18 or so. I guess i do look pretty young with my shaven face and curly locks. Some 40+ yr old drunk woman said it will do me lots of good as the years go by. well its good to get that kind of confirmation from a woman who looks probably 10 years older than she actually was. yes, the irony!
after i get back tomorrow i’ll have 2 days off then i’m in the topeka yard for the whole week, which means a whole week of living at the ramada! least they have an indoor pool and a free breakfast! oh yeah and next week i’ll have a car here! hazahh!
