Pleasures of Going Out Alone

It's been a long day, you've been venturing throughout the city, you did some pleasure reading, your writing material has been written, you've played the songs you know on the keyboard, there's already a few cups of coffee in you, all the meals have been eaten and you're still thinking of eating sushi, and... what? Oh, I shouldn't have more? Well, when I've done all that, sometimes at that point, there's not much that is better than having a glass of delicious cold beer... while sitting at the bar by yourself. 

I mean why not? I'm just enjoying myself with refreshing tasty booze while I take a rest and drift away in my mind. There's nothing wrong with enjoying things by yourself. If I wanted to hang out with friends, I'll do so. Sometimes, it's relaxing to do some things just by yourself. I'm comfortable being out in public alone. The big upside in doing this? You go and do whatever and leave on your own terms. You got no one else to worry about, no one but yourself, especially when you go to a bar where you can sit at. I'm my own man.

You'd feel awkward and weird going out by yourself, you say? Well I'll say this, you'll only feel that way when you present yourself as awkward and weird. If you're at the bar looking around the place, at the people, and fiddling around with your phone then yeah, that's going to be weird. It's weird even if you're doing that when you're there with your friends.

Not every bar is right for this. It's got to be one where you can sit at by the bar where there is a pleasant atmosphere. It's much better if there are TV's to watch where you're sitting as you take your time with a drink. That way you can catch some of the sport games that's on and not be a weirdo. Sure, you can do that by yourself at home or, you can be a boss and go to a bar where other sport fans are and have some sport talks.

The conversations with strangers, it's where you can meet people that share some of the same interests or learn of different ones. I'll tell ya, you can meet some of the most fascinating individuals. Either that or you'll overhear strange interesting conversations from people. It can be very intriguing hearing the things that people out there just blabber about. I'm a hockey guy so I can find myself having good hockey discussions with other hockey fans there. I'm simply having an enjoyable time.

Another aspect that makes this a better experience is where you get to know the bartenders. Bartenders are there to make you feel welcomed and happy. Making yourself well-liked and a regular will benefit you. If someone is giving you a bad time, the bartender who knows and likes you, will help you out. They are there to look out for you if you're in good terms with them. So, be sure to tip them well!

Also, don't listen to the stigma of going out by yourself, especially to a bar. It's all fabricated by those who are close-minded, ignorant, childish, and only follow the sheep herd. Perhaps they're scared or insecure about themselves to be alone. Don't listen to the rubbish. If someone is giving you guff about you being independent and living your life, tell them to go fuck themselves. I know if someone isn't leaving me alone after I tell them to, I'll confront the person and I don't even care how many there are at a time. Some people need a little reminder to stop the rubbish talk. 















I'm not looking for foolish games, I admire those who do things independently and don't care about what others think. I'll go get myself only a drink, sit there watching a game, maybe I'll read something, ponder and write some things down, listen to musicians play, or just chill and relax with a cold beer after a long day. I'll do my own thing and maybe I'll have to smack someone with my nunchuck to do so. Just kidding. Speaking of nunchucks, I have to order new pairs and start practicing again. I keep breaking them from wacking peop- I mean from practicing with them...
