Behind the Scenes of The Finn

Hey there darlin',

Yeah I know... it's been a while. I've been busy trying to grow up.

After all... we're less than a month away until my quarter-life.

I've been dedicating a lot of time to my professional blog, @epilite. Thankfully, more people read my the professional blog than this one. Either way, if you like the who dat-ness enough to read what I've got to say, I figure I better give you something good...

In my last blog, I wrote an Ode to BlackFinn for its two year anniversary. Here is the "behind the blog." In my blog, written rhyme style, I discuss how my relationship with BlackFinn has lasted longer than any any boyfriend... well here's what I didn't write.

Thank you BlackFinn for the fun times

You inspired one of my best rhymes...

Throughout our two years

I have shed tears

over boys that I met at your bar...

(everyone knows those relationships rarely go far.)

I learned a lesson that will prevail in my quarter- life

Don't listen to men in bars- they probably have a wife.

So man number one was my first metrosexual date-

He acted like our meeting at BF was pure fate.

For some reason I fell "in like" with Rico Suave-

and Two weeks later told me that he'd buy me diamonds - center stone with pave'

Bad Decision-

I knew I had a premonition

that boys with barbwire tats are about as cool as the scarves they wear

especially those who take 20 mins to do their hair.

Never have I met someone so vain

Thinking about those few months causes me pain

The best part of all-

You're about to laugh so hard you fall-

One afternoon, I woke up to the drop of a huge bomb

THE GUY WAS CREATING A PROFILE ON MATCH.COM

Exit One...

I thought meeting boys at BlackFinn was done.

Enter number two who was a very handsome man

He was wearing a suit, but lacking a tan.

During a happy hour we met

The next day text messages were sent

by him of course... I don't pursue

especially much older men who try to woo.

Long story short

He had a girlfriend with whom he would not part

Although he swore he would

After kissing me one day in my hood

They are still "happily" together,

Settle or Single- I know what I'd rather...

So moving into my quarter- life years

I do not take back the Finn tears.

I learned quite a bit...

and these lessons in life just make me that more beeping legit.

PS- If you see me in the Finn, our destiny is just to be friends despite numerous purchases of gin, you will not win. lesson learned.
