I kinda wish I didn’t live in the part of South Florida that’s farthest away from any cool clubs. I couldn’t even tell you the name of the club closest to where I live. I love progressive house and trance music, and tonight I was on Napster listening to various things including Tiesto. Makes me want to go to a club. I just hate the way going to a club involves driving so far, struggling with parking, waiting in line, and then going to a place that’s overcrowded. Also, I don’t drink and I don’t like the meat market aspect. At one point I did like at least the meat market part, but now I feel old and tired. And I feel not that available.
One of my favorite clubs a few years ago was a beautiful Eastern inspired paradise, abounding with Buddhist and Hindu statues and paper lanterns. I understand it is now a neon hell. For those of you familiar with Miami, I won’t name names, but I’m sure you can guess. If I were going to go out, I’d have to find a new place.
Most of my friends are not the clubbing type, but my best guy friend (other than Manchester) definitely likes going out. I think part of the reason that I never go out is because I don’t want to go alone, and I never plan in advance to go out with friends. I am going to make it one of my goals to go out to a club again. Just on Friday one of my clients who’s in his 30s was saying how young I am, but I imagine he goes out far more than I do. I want to remember the feeling of having girlfriends who like going out. The problem is when I think of the type of girls who frequent clubs, I’m reminded that they are the type of girls I really don’t like. I feel really weird tonight. I feel very old. I don’t want to feel restless and tired anymore.

I was suppose to see Tiesto perform but he couldn’t make it to the performance due to a medical problem, Bummer. Well, if I lived in Miami I would wanna hangout with you…hopefully I’m not one of those women you hate, haha, I don’t like most women either so don’t worry bout not having many girlfriends cuz I truely only have about…one, lol.

Hi Lola,
Random how I found this blog…I was looking for a track that had the words “I feel restless” and I thought it might be by Tiesto and through Google magic, voila I find myself commenting on this entry.
I used to live in South FL most of my life so I know the feeling of being too far from a good nightspot, and once I go, not being around people I like. Now I am in Southern California, and it is pretty similar.
Luckily we have lots of smaller places that tend to draw in people that I feel more of a connection to.
Maybe I AM getting old and crabby, but I think I am just more aware of who I am and what environments are more suitable for me and will not settle. So sometimes staying in is the right option if I don’t have a particularly good spot to go to. But hopefully, on nights when you do feel like immersing yourself in a new environment, I hope you find the place that is right for you.
Namaste.
