Where My Boyz At?

Self,

The other day I blatently experienced something that I was already aware of but not sure what to do about it. What I experienced was basically a sense of isolation.

Last Saturday I was put out the house. NO, not permanently! See what had happened was, my parents were hosting a social engagement that...well I wasn't intended to present. I mean I could have stayed home in my room, just coming out for food/drink and to use the bathroom, but that didn't really appeal to me. However, the situation served as a reminder to me that to some degree on a social level I seem to remain ...aloof or a misfit. Simply stated, I became aware of the fact that I really had no place to go.

There was a time, years ago, that like clockwork on certain days (particularly weekends) that I knew what I was doing and who I was doing it with. If all the details weren't figured out, I atleast knew who I would be hanging out with as we figured out what we were going to do that evening. Essentially, as the phrase goes, I'd be "kicking it with my boyz." (Granted unlinke this picture, sometimes there were women in the group as well but you get the point.)

This incident highlighted the fact that I don't have any "boyz" to kick it with on a regular basis like before. back then there wasn't a question of "if" we were going to see each other, it was mostly just what shit we had to do BEFORE we would see each other. So rather we were sitting at a table, making a mess and laughing like these guys. Or doing something wild and crazy that caused us to act as silly as this group.

I mean don't get me wrong I'm not a total hermit that only interact with people here in cyberspace. There are folks that I talk to almost daily, and some even 4-5 times a day, however they don't live here in Los Angeles.

I suddenly feel like the dude in "I Love You, Man." LOL Do I need to start having folks set me up on man-dates for a Bromance?? LOL ok and in the realm of Gay folks, how is that going to be different from just dating? LMAO maybe this will be a perfect use for (the devil,) Facebook.

Wow well I would like to hear some suggestion on how to solve my dilemma. ANY LA locals out there HOLLA!

Sincerely,

Pharoah
