- There are Good days in one's life, THEN there are Bad Days. This one was absolute worst in a long time :)...

- Not that it has shaken me or something, come to think of it I'm now laughing recollecting the day...


Field Report: Day 12 - 09/25/2008 - 09/26/2008

- Thursdays are RedRoom day for Salsa.
- Weather was Cold, windy, Rainy, so thought there won't be much traffic. Decide to leave a bit late and still reach before 9
- Roads were Jam packed and reached the area at 9:05. Damn gotta pay cover of $5
- Find a vacant parking spot in apartment complex opposite RedRoom. Thought it's my lucky day and I save $5 on valet parking
- The moment I get out of car it starts raining cats and dogs
- I run to redroom drenched and paid $5 cover
- Head to bar...meet the dance instructor, exchange few pleasantries, then talk with MY BARTENDERS
- A third bartender asks for my drink...i tell her gimme your absolute favourite...in the mean time I saw Penny waiving "Hi" to me from a distance
- An elderly women sitting besides me and I start talking with her
- She had an amazing positive attitude and good sense of humor
- Penny introduces me to another hot bartender Heather....Elderly lady - Lucy gets impressed
- After sometime I crack something to Lucy and out of amazement she shouts at all the Bartenders and asks them "DO YOU EVEN KNOW THIS GUY???"
- Unanimously all of them including the GUY bartenders nod their head - YES WE DO.
- MUAHHH im the guy of the bar
- I crack jokes with Lucy (CLAWing again is no big deal) and other bartenders, then got called for Lessons
- I pick an Asian gal who had come in group...we dance for sometime and out of nowhere she says...I'm sorry my friend is standing alone and I have to go and dance with him...WTF
- She goes to her friend and I see another girl standing alone...I pull her towards and continue the lessons
- After sometime she says I'm Sorry I gotta grab my drink...I shout and hold her and tell her that both of us will get drink after the lesson.
- She shrugs me off and leaves the floor
- For the remainder of lessons I was the only guy dancing by myself pretending to have invisible partner
- Then after the lessons I head back to the bar. Lucy was waiting for her friend and introduces me to him
- Then I find Rebecca and we talk for couple of minutes, then I hit the floor...there was absolutely no one interesting
- I saw that Asian gal in a distance with some guy friends and signaled her to come over here and dance with me
- She ignored me
- I looked around and there wasn't much crowd, so decided to leave early for Home
- Go to check out my tab and see Penny and Rebecca discussing that i'm already leaving this early
- Rebecca hands me the tab and looks straight into the eye and say Don't go this early and know you'll be back
- Gosh...I think Both Rebecca and Penny have crush on me
- I leave RedRoom

- Here the nightmare begins
- When I reached me car I saw it getting towed right in front of me. I confronted the driver and asked him wtf is going on....He say i parked illegally
-Then i call the towing company rep....seems she was multitasking - picking up distress calls and giving somebody a blow job...kept me holding for 15 mins
- Then she says you can negotiate with the driver...I tell the driver i'm fucked up financially, so be reasonable
- He says $75...I say whatever and tell him to give me a minute to get cash from ATM
- He says i have all the time
- I rush to ATM of redroom and get cash and by the time I was back, my car and the towing truck was gone...WTF
- Then I call the customer rep again....this time she certainly had a cock in her mouth and a dildo shoved all the way up her ass
- Tell her wot's going on...she says give me your number and i will ask the driver to call you back
- i hang up and wait outside in cold, windy, rainy night for the driver to call back
- 5 mins...15 mins...45 mins...1:30 mins...that assole doesn't call back
- I call the customer rep again and she pleasantly tells me that the driver has dumped my car in their lot and i need to go and pick it up from there....i have given up hope on mankind
- Then i get a cab and go to the lot. It's locked. I see my car in one piece in distance and call the rep to open the lot
- She says someone will open the door shortly
- I assume that someone will be in their office
- I again wait in the scariest place on earth...outside a lot...no lights....windy,rainy,cold...for another hour before that same driver turns up
- I tell him dude....you could have waited just for 2 more mins...he says i got another call to tow someone else....those moneymonger bastards
- Anyway I hand him $75...he looks at me and says now its $100
- I ask why...Because now it's in the lot and whatever is in the lot takes $100 to get it out
- I wish some huge dick is shoved up his ass and he has to pay $100 to get it out of his ass
- I check my money and realized im $15 short, 'cause I had given it to the cab driver
- I ask him do you use credit card, he says it only works during office hours - $#@$%%$@#
- I tell him i just have $85, he says sorry no can't do....It has to be $100
- Then I tell him DRIVE me to ATM...
- He says it's against my company policy to give anybody ride in the tow truck...
- I say it's your call...The ball is on your court
- He finally agrees to give me a ride...
- It's payback time...I tell him that I am a high profile banker and my debit card can only be used in certain ATMs that use retina scanning
- He buys it
- I drive him for miles together till a point he gets frustrated.
- Then I tell him....oh I suddenly realize I have a regular Debit Card too lol
- Finally the ordeal get over around 2 at nite
- Now im all splits and realize this happened way too early in my life and at least i'll be careful in future and pay $5 for valet parking instead of $125 for towing
- Was thinking on my way back...what if i had picked up a chick and was bringing her back and this fiasco would have occured

- Thanx Chipmaker
- Things works wonders when one stops "TRYING"...i have stopped trying and everyone is commenting that im funny as hell...weird world lol


Field Report: Day 12 - 09/30/2008 - 10/01/2008

- Tuesday's now seem to be Carmen's for Salsa instead of Karaoke in Hi5
- Got my colleague Trevor join me who shares similar passion like mine
- Came early, registered and acquainted with whosoever came to register
- Did beginner's course again. Hopeless ratio of guys to girls. something like 6:1
- Me and Trevor constantly cracked jokes...to the point when our sexy instructor Natalia stopped the lessons just to inquire "Where Do We Work"
- After class went to bar for drink and met more people, including few from last time
- Then went in the floor and saw Natalia dancing all by herself...I jumped in and after sometime Trevor pushed me saying that she's my girl
- After 2 mins i pushed him back and said now she's my girl again
- She got crazy and again asked "WHERE DO I WORK"....i got her close to me and whispered "WHEREVER YOU WANT ME TO"...she quit asking
- After sometime she says I have to go back to my man now....I said "that's ok...but from now on we are secret lovers"....she blushes and runs away
- One girl from the class says goodbye and was about to leave
- I told here....nobody leaves carmens without dancing with me...she says but she is a school teacher and have to get up early in morning
- I told her im her principal and am excusing her for coming late to school tomorrow, then pull her to the floor
- In retrospect I should have pushed further and told her to spend nite with me and I would drop her to her school next morning. Anyways will keep that in mind going forward
- Spoke and danced to quite a few girls. Stopped counting how many.
- In fact im waiting when im done with advanced classes so that i can actually enjoy Salsa more
- Saw an elderly sitting alone...went and sat next to her. earlier i was discussing her about kind of perfumes she should be wearing. we picked up on that and exchanged numbers later
- later she ran away saying that i gotta dance with a guy...
- Nothing much after that
- Apart from that I have movie date with Josie on Friday and am cracking Martina with smsses. Planning to meet her on Sunday...She makes it a point to tell me in every sms that im Funny...
- Going for scuba diving on Saturday
- Weekends suddenly got lot busier for me :)

- Suddenly friends who never gave shit to me want to hang out with me
- Also realized that I'm falling into the "Entertainer" category...NOT GOOD


Field Report: Day 14 - 10/02/2008 - 10/03/2008

- Was getting all ready for RedRoom, got a call from friend asking whether im going there
- Reached after 9 and got free parking by curbside. Scratched my tire and rim while parking to the sidewalk. Jinx with my car is still not over :(

- Paid cover of $5 and reached straight to bar. Rebecca and Penny were excited to see me. Told them about my car towing saga that happened one week back

- Called for salsa lessons
- Got hold of Jackie who apparently came with her mother-in-law and other oldies
- Tried some funny stuff like don't get nervous...take it easy...stop showing your cleavage
- From my Tuesdays salsa lessons in carmen's i was on roll.
- Everyone new tried their best to imitate me and ma steps
- Me an oldie sitting alone in far corner
- Sat besides her and started talking
- Came to know she just came from Morocco
- So started discussing our traveling tales
- I shared some funny stories and asked her if she had any to share
- She said I have some, but can't talk them to you
- I asked do they involve sex
- She said YES
- I asked "Are you a Porn Star"
- She said "This conversation is going downhill"
- That was a shocker to me, still I said "So why don't you do something to sort it out"...
- she didn't find it amusing and stopped talking
- Then I saw a girl wearing t-shirt that had LEDs in it
- Went straight to her and told her I want it...she said she doesn't know where she got it...ask my boyfriend...i said take it out i will wear it 'cause im gay....she and her friends went crazy....
- Then opened 2 girls, one of them said she has 2 yrs old child and on a verge of divorce....i said that's it "im an investment banker and single-handedly collapsed wall-street....and am hiding in Raleigh...do you see me worried at all"....even they went splits
- But here is the thing, although im getting comfy talking with people, I still am not all that comfy escalating. Well hoping that this will work out fine too

Hey Kumar,
just a check- you might be high energy &all but are you consciously using BR/NR tonality?
also, make statements to invoke questions rather than the other way..
tell me how it goes..

- Thanks for your feedback chipmaker. Honestly, I couldn't quite grasp NR/BR during bootcamp, so don't know whether I'm doing it unconsciously or not.
- I will definitely start doing the other thing right away though- "Making statements that invoke questions"


Field Report: Day 15 - 10/05/2008 - D2

- Field outings reduced considerably for the time being for 2 reasons: Too much expenditure on Liquors & No Gas Available in North Carolina
- Was supposed to take Josie - the girl I met in RedRoom for movies on friday
- Called her up in afternoon to confirm and she told me one of her relatives is dead and she's off for the weekend. That's Murphy's Law of my life. Only difference this time around is that I simply don't give any fuck :)
- My first D2 since bootcamp
- Have been constantly messaging Martina - The Austrian Foreign Exchange student I met at Carmen's the other day
- Messaging have been fun all throughout, told her that I got Austrian Mountains FedExed and will show you on Sunday when we meet
- Went on internet, googled a snow capped mountain, opened it in MS-Paint and added text "MADE IN AUSTRIA", took it's print-out and kept it in trunk of my car
- Told her what she should wear and how she should smell
- A night before she told me jokingly that she's a serial killer. Used that as a prop the whole next day
- Next day when I went to pick her up, she wore exactly what i told her to wear and smelled even sexier. Before she entered my car I told her "No matter what happens, don't ask me to open the trunk of my car and see what's inside"
- The entire afternoon she was curious to find out what was inside the trunk of my car - Nice
- After we had lunch where I busted her ball all the time we were walking towards my car and she literally begged me to open the trunk of my car
- I opened and she at first saw 2 rackets of racket ball and told me that she doesn't have shoes to play at this point - Dork
- I told her look deeper and she saw that print-out
- She was speechless and clueless, and later went berseck
- After I gave her sometime to get back to normal I told her isn't she going to thank me for the mountains
- She extended her hand to shake, I grabbed it and pulled her towards me and told her, in America the rules of saying thanks are much different than in Austria
- I proceeded to kiss her and her ASD kicked off
- She did all she could in a subtle way not to lock lips
- I was in no mood to give up. So I teased around showed her where all my car got fucked up, then tried to kiss again
- When we locked lips she kept on jabbering, jokingly telling me that she always talks while kissing and having sex
- We sat in my car and did some more kissing and took her to a park for some walk
- In the park I realized that she just didn't want to go back to her hostel, but found out that she had her macroeconomics exams the next day...Now that's what I call igniting attraction
- Anywayz we made out for sometime in the park and dropped her back
- We have been constantly exchanging smses and im ensuring that sparks don't fade away
- she's in chicago for the time being and coming back on sunday, planning to pick he up from airport and direclty bring her home and bang her :)

What is it about NR/BR tonality that you're having trouble with?

Congrats on the D2 man!

hey Kumar!
way to go man!! just what I wanted to read :D
well done on persisting with the kiss!! That's all.. no special lines or triangle gaze required!!you've made your intent clear, that's why she showed up for the D2 and she would've expected a makeout.
don't worry about keeping attraction going on... focus on the simple conversations, you will naturally be conveying authentic stuff if you don't analyze & get into your mind.
waiting for the LR shades

- Sometimes It just doesn't make sense at all
- I have been having a phenomenal time exchanging messages with Martina. In fact I checked and they were close to 120 messages one way. I have an sms package, so pay only $5/month, she has to pay 50 cents per message (both incoming and outgoing)
- And out of no where she messages me last nite "Do me a favor....delete my name from your phone book" after i responded to one of her cocky messages
- I responded in message saying it was just a joke and am sorry, also tried calling her thrice
- Next day in office my colleague Trevor explained that it could possibly be her bad mood or she was stressed out or her exam went bad or she had her cycles
- Whatever the case is he recommended sending flowers. Yes I know it is a chode like thing, but fact is never ever in my life gave flowers to anyone, even when i was a chode, so wanted to experience it myself whether this shit works for real
- so found some really cheap florist and got it same day delivered to her and trevor helped me frame some emotional message
- Unfortunately she messages me in evening "It's fine...forget it...take care"...Lesson learnt: Flowers don't work...Damn $40 gone down the drain
- Now I know it's over and I should just let it go, just that I made the big mistake of 1) Spending too much time and energy on her - one single girl 2) Got attached to her (she had become part of my everyday routine for last 3 weeks)
- Now I have no more options, so she is just popping in my mind even when I don't want to think about her


Field Report: Day 16 - 10/16/2008 - 10/17/2008

- So decided to forget and move on in life
- Thursday is Salsa time in Red Room and after one week's gap am back in action
- This time didn't try anything stupid and parked my vehicle in paid parking
- Went to club before 9 and was showing my messages to my bartenders - Rebecca and Penny.
- In fact they were amazing and were constantly telling me that there are plenty of fish around and it's completely martinas loss to let me go
- Nice way to lift someones spirit
- Lessons started....made my partners crazy as usual...Don't even think about it
- After lessons went back to bar, tried my best, but just couldn't lift my state and spirit...People around me could see and feel my low spirit
- I just walked out of the club.

This reminds me. right after my bootcamp i went out by myself a few days later by myself and picked up some cutties number (this was the first time going out after bootcamp and I was super amped up for getting this number). I went on a pycho texting spree and started writing all this sexual shit. She eventually wrote "stop...ur freaking me out". Nowadays when I look back at it I find it hilarious. I'm happy that I took it to that point cause it helps me calibrate to where I am now and realize how much farther ive come along :)
