... in response to Long time, no see partner...., posted by Hoda on Oct 21, 2004

I am still in NC more less.  I spend most of my time in route to somewhere.  I actually spend more time in SC than I do NC but it comes w/the job.

As far as a lady goes I am currently free.  I had a few very close calls during my absence here.  But they never quite worked out.  Up until several months ago I was working two fronts.  Now my concentration is focused mostly on the latin front.  Hope to put in a good two or maybe three weeks in LA this holidays season.

For a brief history rundown.  Last year I had scheduled a three week stay in Barranquilla for the holiday season.  The plan was to spend this time with a lady I was communicating with.  We communicated daily for about 6 months.  She even assisted w/helping me find a place stay.  She worked out an arrangement w/an apartment owner.  The price was quite reasonable compared to the hotels.  Just a week prior to my departure, everything went sour.  Given that my ticket was non-refundable.  To keep from losing my money I decide to visit another lady I was communicating w/off and on for about 1.5 years.  She had been hounding me for the longest about us meeting.  She lives in the UK (London).  I know what you are thinking... London, thats no where near the hunting grounds stated.  You are quite right, but let me explain compadray.  She is originally from Malaysia, somewhere near KL (Kuala Lumpur).  She is of indian descent.  She had just relocated to London about 3 months prior to my visit.  She is cute, fun, and up-beat individual.  There would not be boring moment w/her.  But we were just too different.  There was more to it then say, she say "tomato" and I say "tahmahto."  I guess a nice way to put it is that she was too much of a free-thinker then I was comfortable with.  To sum everything up, lets just say Saint Nick was not good to me last year.  I enjoyed my visit to London though.  The diversity is unbelievable... may even be more diverse then New York City.

Madagascar, no such luck there.  It is a very remote location.  A very remote paradise.  Almost like going to the ends of the earth, plus not to mention speaking french is a necessity.

Farther east... well, I made contact w/many filipinas but made no match.  Had a very good prospect early on, but that ended over a misunderstanding.  Just from my experiences filipinas can be very possessive.  Do not mean that in an overly negative way.  Other then that, I have said enough on one breath of air... :-D

It is good to see a few of the original cats(yourself, Pete E, Keith Smith, Red Clay, A1A) still posting...  The rest seem to have rode off into the sunset.  I will take your advise and get out more often... peace bro.

ciao

My sister is married to a Chinese-American (third generation) in LA so there's not much chance she won't like my wife based on race.  

Fortunately my family is tolerant.  It would be tough not having a family who wanted me to ber happy.  But you live with your wife not your extended family and their intolerance should be THEIR problem, not yours.

OK, I'll bite. My maternal grandmother was a WWI war bride (France), the rest of the family is more or less Irish (just so you know my background, as if that matters to you, but it might be considered pertinent to this message). Under the “bring her home to meet the family, this could be ‘the one’ category”, I’ve brought home a Creek, a Cherokee, a (lily white) Costa Rican (we were married for 16 years, not all of them happy) and a (triguena) Colombian (we’re married now). If she had had a visa and/or things had gone a little bit differently, there is one Mexican that I would have ‘brought home’ too. My parents never batted an eye about any of them on the race or culture issues, although they did scrutinize them as INDIVUALS to be sure they were ‘good people’. Can’t recall as I’ve ever had a black woman in the ‘serious girl friend’ category, but that wouldn’t have bothered them any either.

For those guys who have the ‘but she’s not our KIND’ problem with their family, true, I’ve never had to walk in your shoes, but you do have my sympathy. My advice is do your thing, it’s YOUR life and ‘Them what don’t like it can leave me alone’.
