its more than 100 words but I am not submitting this and its kinda over for me

So that being stated...

I have been reading a lot online lately… from Jewsweek to Yadablog (which is down due a server switch) to Generation J (which I feel I am about 5 years too old for, but like the idea anyways).

I am getting really very frustrated by the problem for me of locating Jewish people of the same interests politically and artistically to me here in Denver. This may sound incredibly stuck up and all but I am concerned that finding someone that is hip and interesting that isn’t completely fucked up on drugs is so not going to happen. I have talked to a couple people about The Hebrew Hammer and they were furious at me that I thought that it was funny. Please… If you can’t laugh at yourselves people… whatever. I have this running tsuris every year because of the “matza ball” oh wait … renaming it to… Matza Palooza(30 bucks and one drink ticket?, thank gawd I have paid for parking in the area...) and (please how 1980 fucking five can we get folks…its lame and your party may be too) makes it better …because when I have gone the only people I have remotely talked to was some married guy that took his band off for the night and tried to hook up but then thought better of it and cousins. Its not fun.

So… been reading. There are people out there that are culturally diverse. And Jewish. And interesting. So there is hope. But the only "hits" I seemingly get from JDate or Lchaim are guys that I have already turned down and have forgotten that I did (and I have to be kind and polite and turn them down again... sorry Little A dude but I can't ... I just can't) or putzes that kvetch about their jobs on our first date (oh... by the way... not a way to win a girl over).

I have tried the movie night with the post viewing discussion group... not at all as advertised. Tried to start a book club... they wanted to follow Oprah (I appreciate her choices but very much not of my experience as a Jewish woman nay person in 2003)... and tried the gallery hop group, which was ok but ceased to exist past two First Fridays because well, the people were apathetic.

Its so sad that I am unable to find people who are willing to try and stick to a plan about experimenting and learning and seeing new things in this world.

So that being said. The 100 words is over. I tried. It was a fantabulous IDEA (in the grandest sence of the word idea) and I did almost a full 100 days. But the concept will be better served in another forum (not my blog). I just can't post everyday... because I am going to get busy finding super interesting people...

if you read this, know anyone locally, direct them here, I am motivated damnit. Its not about romance as much as people to have over for a Shabbat dinner and then not feeling like we are trayf because we want to go listen to a jazz band at Dazzle or hanging out on the patio at Funky Buddah or whatever. It is possible. I know it.
