reverse FR: iqqi goes to mardi gras, runs away with gypsy boy

[iqqi]

wuddup fellas and lovely ladies of sosuave. haha, just when you think you've seen it all! the iqqster seeks not to live the ordinary life...

i was wandering around the french quarter by myself (quite dangerous for a PYT like myself) because the people i came with decided to go to the movies and the mall....in new orleans during the mardi gras!!! i think not!

i was sitting next to a very fat black pigeon in a corrider next to the st. louis cathedral, tired and worn out from walking and partying the night before. i kept hearing clapping, and finally i decided to check it out. i walked to the front of the famous cathedral, and there in the middle of jackson square was a circle of onlookers. i pushed my petite self right to the front, and sat on the ground like a child.

there a young man dressed in a red (enyce?) jumpsuit walked around with a mike attached to his head addressing the crowd. he was juggling fire, and proceeded to juggle machetes and also ride a unicycle, juggling all the while. he did tricks with the crowd, but most interesting was the comedy. it appeared to be that he was also a comedian, and for the first time since i had arrived to the city of the dead, i laughed! i was immediately intriqued. who was this guy? he was so young, and from his appearance (cute, and rocking urban style), you'd never imagine him doing this.

who was he? where was he from, how did he come to live this way? i decided then that i would introduce myself and find out whether he was open to friendship.

well so much happened!

we went out that night (my last night in NO). at first he was reserved, aloof, almost rude. it was like he was a completely different person than the performr in the circle. so i just talked, describing the world as i saw it around me. i am a poet! and somewhere along the way he was transfixed by me.

the night was magical. he opened up to me, and i showed him all the colors and sounds and experiences he was merely existing in, yet not noticing. new orleans is a beautiful city, full of sights and character unique to this city alone! i have wanted to come here forever, and so my enthusiasm came through.

as the night grew late, it was heavy on our minds that i would be leaving in a few hours. i went back with him to the house he was a guest of, and we slept together (no sex, youperverts of sosuave).

during the night he asked me to stay with him, to travel with him, to be with him. it turns out he makes like $4000 a week from his shows, and if i stay with him i wouldn't have to worry about money.

i went home anyways, because my head was spinning. but then i realized that this is an experience of a life time! i always wanted to just get up and travel, and here is a beautiful boy offering it to me!

so he'll be here tuesday. to get me and take me with him....


no sh!t yall. wish me well! i'll keep you posted, if you are interested.

Iqqi, no offense..but thats making kind of a rash decison isnt it? You dont even know this man. For all you know he could be a serial killer. To give up your life you have for a person you barely know? Why not keep in contact with him, visit when you can, and then after a period of time has gone by make a decison like that. He'll be there in a few months if he cares for you.

It reminds me of sex and the city and carrie making a rash decision to go to Paris with a guy she barely knew, and it ended badly. I would really think about this. But if you decide to go ahead..good luck.

Iqqi, I can't say I'm surprised that you would do something like this, but I'd say you are very unhappy with your current station in life to do something like this. What exactly is it that you are running away from? Whatever it is, this is not the cure! What of your ties to the things and people where you currently live? Are those to be thrown away for a fantastic voyage?

Your sole existence and income will be derived from someone you don't know. Of course all this is exciting, to break away from daily drudgery of everyday existence - but this excitement will soon fade and reality will set in and he will tire of you and you may tire of him. Where would this leave you when you are no longer together and not employed. What have you built for yourself - you solely will rely on his goal and aspirations - don't you have any?

You seem to trust him when he says he makes $4000 a week and you take every word at face value. You know nothing of his past and this could be something he has done in the past and left a girl without remorse, or maybe he strangled her and placed her body in the woods!!

You place little value on yourself and he knows this and in my opinion a man doesn't respect a woman that would do something so brash with a total stranger!!! Most likely, It will fail in the end.

I guess you are bored with life. Oh well, nothing surprises me with what women will do today!!!

Maybe you are just egging us on here, and have an overly active imagination and are living in a dream world. Please wake up and see reality for what it is!!!

You posted this for a reason!

 

[E-Z Rider]

Ah, what the hell? I say do it!

You only get to be young and crazy (even stupid) once.

 

[Player_Supreme]

you are a poet and I didn't even know-it! maybe you two are soul mates? or maybe he has good skills after all with the shy routine...either way as E-Z said your only young once.

I lost my son christopher to the internet chat rooms of france and he now lives in paris having the adventure of the life-time.

Classic example on why our divorce rate is high

Oh I know iqqi will say she's not going to marry him or whatever, but this is textbook on how impulsive people are when they hook up, go together or decide to get married. Thus our high divorce rate.

Some guy she met on a whim is now worth leaving for ... frickin' amazing. Her self-esteem must be so shot that she needs this guy to fulfill her. I'd second guess on that paycheck he says he makes. A lot of guys lie about money.

As I've said numerous times: Most people spend more time shopping for cars than a mate. They scrutinize the tires, the engine, the interior, ratings manuals, take it for a test drive, etc. How on earth would you know a person is right to be with after one night, one week, one month, hell, even six months?

With people it's usually: "Do you like me?!! If so, you're the one!"

Truly amazing, but I'm not surprised. Iqqi was weaned on our stupid American culture.

 

[DJ Bishop]

Iq, I'd say give it a shot if you want. If things turn out badly for you, then give me a call - I'm only 40 minutes away in Baton Rouge.

 

[Big Pappy]

Iqqimus,
It's all fun and games until you get your eye poked out.

Big Pappy would advise you to only do this as long as you have enough money in the bank to get yourself back home if things don't go as planned.

In the meantime, you should have let me know you were in town. I could have swung over and shown you some other sights that you might have missed on this trip.

In any event, never worry about tomorrow, as long as you have enough money to get you there.

Be prepared for your family and friends to think you're insane. I had a chance to drop everything and join a stripper on her circuit as her manager, but turned it down. I wish I had gone, now.

Good luck!

 

[WestCoaster]

Don't encourage her!

In one or two months when the shine has worn off and she's terribly bored with this so-called Renaisance man, she'll come back here man-bashing to no end.

This isn't a rational move, it's a stupid one. Get your college degree (if you don't have one), become a professional, a female DJ, don't depend on this goof-ball to determine your happiness.

Date him, sleep with him, whatever, but don't run off with him for God's sake.

Call me old fashioned but whatever happened to June Cleaver, or better yet, Elizabeth Montgomery from Bewitched. She's her own person but a loving wife. I know, I know, it's TV ... but still.

 

[PuertoRican_Lover]

Iqqi,
You are running away with the clown from the circus, for crying out loud! This is every parent's nightmare of his/her child!

Westcoaster - yes there 'WERE' some good shows that depicted the feminine character of a woman. You listed two good examples!! You are not 'old-fashioned', you are a 'right-minded' male.

 

[myfriendblu]

Iqqi,
I have always thought you weren't the brightest bulb in the bunch, now i have the post to prove it. The stupidity of some people never ceases to amaze me.

 

[Trogdawg]

Just leaving with a guy is stupid. You are not living inside a romance novel, girl.

But you know what? Go for it. Maybe you'll stay off this sight for a while and we can actually help other guys out instead of reading your lame life stories. Like bringing two guys you are dating to the same party. Just beautiful. I'll be watching for you on Jerry Springer.

Jerry: So do you know who the father is?
Iqqi: Well it has to be either this guy, or that guy?
Jerry: Okay, well are you sure, because the last 6 guys weren't the dad
Iqqi: Maybe it's that guy I traveled with after meeting him in New Orleans during Mardi Gras.
Jerry: You met someone at Mard Gras and left with him?
Iqqi: Yeah.
Jerry: What's his name?
Iqqi: Actually, I don't know. He has blue eyes though...er maybe green. Hell I don't know I didn't even have time to ask.
Jerry: Really...

 

[PuertoRican_Lover]

Trogdawg,
Thanks foir the laugh - We will see her on the 'Maury' show - he constantly does the DNA tests for wayward women! One time they tested 22 dudes and none of them were the biological father, and the hor was a teenager!!!!!

 

[Knicknack]

congrats... thoughts and prayers for your new "relationship." now leave this forum alone.

 

[Trapspringer]

OMG, iqqi, don't be a chump, you little English major. You call this traveling side-show a potential long-term provider? Juggling around the globe isn't what I would call an extablished profession. This sound like something out of some fantasy novel. Please close the book now. He probably doesn't even own a PC. What would you do when you find out he is schizo and have traveled the globe with many women he only knew for a few hours and left them?

I bet you he is just lonely with his nomadic existence and try to latch on to every iqqi in every city so he doesn't have to be so lonely any more. Don't worry, he will find another impulsive soul in in Bangledesh.

Admit it! You screwed him after hours of meeting him, had one helluva orgasm, saw stars, and now you can't live without him!

Yah, RIGHT! Anyway, I think all the "magic" you experienced is what you feel when you're away from Home. It happens to be all the time - when I'm abroad or out of town all my senses are heightened because I'm excited to experience new things, and everything becomes an adventure/magical experience.

American women are clueless

This is textbook stupidity. Mark my words: In three months when this clown is getting his groove on with someone else -- while he's "dating" iqqi -- she's back on this site proclaiming all men are idiots.

I will say, however, that the majority of American women are complete fools. Rarely would you find a foreign woman -- or at least a foreign woman living in the U.S. -- acting so illogically. Oh sure, we'll get the Aussies and Brits coming in here saying their women are just as dumb.

No freakin' way, it is not possible to be as brainwashed and whack as the American woman.

 

[Julian]

Damn you guys are some fuccing haters.

Iqqi i hope you have fun and have the adventures you will never forget.

 

[PuertoRican_Lover]

I think most of us are being way to kind -especially me!

 

[JustDoItAlways]

C'mon you guys, give her a break.

This guy is a total catch. He wears a red (encye?) jumpsuit, juggles fire, juggles machetes, rides a unicycle and he is a comedian.

With that kind of talent, he can clearly make over $4,000 per month, what with all those people throwing change into his hat and all.

All seriousness aside, clearly the guy did something for her. Peacocking, chemistry, adventure, emotion, whatever it was.

Chicks are looking for something. They'll drop their whole life in a flash if you can find out what that is and (promise to) deliver it. Fantasy and emotion almost always gets to chicks like Iqqi. Other girls look for something a little different but it often comes down to the same thing, emotion.
