March 26, 2005"O´Connell Street"
FYI - I posted two new entries today, so there is another right here. On Thursday night, a little tired, my brother and I decided to head out and find a pub that had college basketball on TV. We were a little exhausted and only felt like sitting around and watching a game. We found a place (O´Connell Street) and watched a game starting around 1:30am here. Near the end, we met a girl named Sonya. If you haven´t read this entry, do so now. It just so happens that Sonya was from Eastern Europe. She had only been here two months and didn´t really speak much Spanish. Her opening line was something like, "Do you like basketball?" Not exactly a real leap in deductive logic considering we were 5 feet from the TV, with our feet up on the wall, and back turned to the rest of the bar. As this happened, I thought back to the early hours of New Year´s Day. I remembered then that I had been in the same bar. That´s when I turned to my brother and we had this conversation... Me - "She´s an escort." Me - "Remember my New Year´s story? This is the same bar I was in." Then I also told him to look at the facts. When was the last time a good looking girl walked up to two men who weren´t really socializing with the crowd and started just randomly chatting to them about basketball? While it apparently happens to me all the time, he said it hadn´t happened to him in a long time. He went to the bathroom and it gave me some time to really decide that, yes she was definitely working tonight. Ryan returned from the bathroom with further proof. Him - "I just saw her in the back." Him - "Maybe she´s just really slutty?" My only possible excuses -- For European escorts Kenneth Cole "Black" cologne is catnip! or It is possible that escorts hang out at this bar because it is a predominantly foreign crowd, the owner is their pimp, or both. Not really sure. If it happens again though, I´m definitely asking... Comments
