What makes life an adventure? Do you have to make an attempt to climb the highest mountain? Do you have to go deep sea diving? Maybe, if you go for a leisurely 150 mph drive on the Autobahn? I guess for some people, these things make their lives adventurous but for me they are less death-defying. I lead a drama free life so an adventure for me is doing a little more than going to the grocery store.
I decided that this would be the year that I go places I haven't been before and try things I haven't tried before. I have been sticking to this new found outlook on my life. It started with the fact that I live in a city that is full of culture and I have yet to take full advantage of my surroundings. The first new thing I did was get involved in Charleston's food week. I went to J. Paulz and had a dish I had never tasted and it was good and I enjoyed myself. I did this with one of my cousins. Before I decided to try new things, I would have stayed home because that is the sort of thing you do with your man. Well given the fact that I don't have a man this shouldn't mean that the possibilities I have available to me are limited. In fact they should be more wide open; they could be the opportunity for me to meet new and interesting men. That makes these types of adventures enjoyable.
Well the next thing I decided to do was have an involvement in the MOJA festival aside from the Reggae Block Party. I actually attended two events. I went to a blues show at a building that used to be a church in the last century. I had a good time. This event I attended with a boy that I liked. He loves music as much as I do so we enjoyed the show together. The reason for going with him was because it was a shared interest between the two of us. Of course I couldn't necessarily meet new and interesting men but that was fine because I was very pleased with the company I had. This was another great adventure.
Speaking of things that were done with the boy that I liked, the day after the blues show he and I took a jazz cruise around the harbour. This was also done in conjunction with the MOJA Festival. Though it was a rainy night, the sky was clear and the temperature was as close to perfect as it could be. The boy I liked and I had a first time experience together that was wonderful. This night he held my hand and protected me from the weather. I liked the experience a lot but at that moment not quite as much as I liked the boy I was with. Terrific adventure because this was one that got me totally involved and I liked the boy a lot more than I had previously.
Next adventure would be two-fold. I attended the food and wine festival. This was something I had not previously done so this was the first part of my adventure. The second part would be I tried foods that were new to me. I had a piece of lamb with chocolate bbq sauce. That was a mix that I would never have thought about putting together. I also had a mimosa and that was the first time I had tasted one of those drinks and it was excellent. This event I attended with my cousin and a friend. We were all doing this for the first time and a great time was had by all. Another adventure in my life. Not a whole lot of new and interesting men there but luckily that wasn't one of the things to look out for on my to-do list.
As the end of the year closes in on me there are a few more things that I have done and that I will do before it's over. I went to a lounge by myself and had a good time. I realized that I don't need to be with anyone else to have a good time. I will go out again by myself and I will have a good time when I do so. Some of those new and interesting men may make an attempt to know me. Either way I will have plenty more adventures whether with a friend, a family member, a boy I like, a boy that likes me or with myself.
