Politics, Culture, and Other Wastes of Time

Yesterday during some down time İ decided to read the classic Samuel Beckett play 'Waiting for Godot' which İ purchased at a used bookstore ın Wilmington NC for a mere three bucks.

Today İ am hoping to meet a very attractive woman who is single (though she has a boyfriend in Europe) who also happens to be my age- which is 38. İ met here in another lifetime while İ was here in Turkey and we have recently been reacquainted.

As many folks know 'Godot' is about how people hope god (who is symolized by the mysterious bearded man Godot) will come to them in a time of need and despite many promises to the contrary he never shows up.

For those of us who openly question/doubt the existence of a supreme being_ the play is one which makes perfect sense though a devout believer could probably relate to it as well.

However it does seem like every time İ try to meet a gorgeous woman- even for the most platonic of occasions- they never seem to show up. The most infamous time was some ten years ao when İ waited at the Mill Mountain Coffee Shop in Blacksburg VA for a German woman for a full hour and a half before İ came to the realization that she was not coming.

İ really wish I had not read that freaking play!
