So if you've read my blogs before, which I know you have, I've had the FBI track all of my visitors so it's no use hiding... But anyways, this blog is actually a serious (with the exception of a few quick one liners) blog. Let's take a journey shall we??? It all began on New Years Eve. The setting, glorious (shitty) downtown Cincinnati. I was attending a bar crawl downtown at Lodge Bar, Blackfinn, and Suite. While down there, I left the Blackfinn bar to see what was happening at Lodge Bar. When I walked in to Lodge, I was alone, and it was New Years, and seeing everyone with their significant others all having a good time brought up a disheartening feeling. I had this feeling that maybe after so many unsuccessful relationships, I really never would find someone that I enjoy spending all my time with, or having there when I feel like being alone, or just someone I can talk to, etc...
So I walk into Lodge bar, and head to a clear corner spot at the bar. I order my typical Jager Bomb, as it's getting close to midnight. While ordering my drink, I hear "is your name Hoopes?" To which I must reply yes. So I look over and recognize a beautiful girl that I haven't seen in maybe 4 to 5 years. At the moment I saw her, I had iffy feelings, whether it was remembering how I knew her, or if she was an ex girlfriend I didn't remember... This feeling quickly dispersed as I realized it was neither of which... I realized soon after talking to her that that feeling I had was a feeling of serendipity... (the act of good things happening by accident)(That's the abridged version so shut up). At this moment, and for the moment that we kissed at midnight, I knew that this meeting was not just an accident, but mere fate itself. Being the person that I am, for those of you that know me, you know that I have always bounced around in the girlfriend department, and to be honest, Jill may know this too, but if she didn't, she does now (she's reading now, and hopefully found that humorous).
The next day when I was sitting around thinking about what had happened, and how everything had occurred, it came to me that I was a victim of fate itself. Don't get me wrong, I do have a strong belief in God, although I don't follow his guidance and Bible to the "T" but that doesn't mean I don't believe in "everything happens for a reason..." I just knew that deep down there was a reason that I left my friends at Blackfinn and walked to Lodge by myself. There's a reason that I walked to that corner of the bar, and there's a reason she said hi to me, and there's a reason that I ordered a jagerbomb. (The jagerbomb is actually reasonably explained, I just like that drink but you knew that already...) However, the basic point of this is to show that even to someone like myself, something as great as Jill is to me, can happen to truly anyone... I realized that you have to have suffered a lot of pain throughout your life before you can realize how grateful you should be when someone or something like Jill is to me comes along and changes your whole perspective on life.
As for this blog, that's all I really want everyone to know for right now. I want everyone to see that throughout my life of hardships and heartbreaks, something great has finally come along to show me that great, authentic, and all around loving feelings can exist for those that truly doubt them... It's true that only when you hit rock bottom can you move up... I also realized that when you have these feelings, no matter what happens during the course of the day, nothing can stop you from smiling when you think of her (him for you ladies), and when can't spend time with her, just hearing her (his) voice reminds you of the first time you heard a country song (enter the greatest thing that happened in your life)... But yes, it's true... I have an amazing girlfriend that not only made my hectic life that much more clear, but also made me feel feelings that I've never felt about any one person before, and it's only just begun...
We'll See Ya!
10 people just realized that they already met Jill last Saturday night at Village Tavern and had no idea that they did until reading this blog...
