The Comma Sutra

Perhaps you’ve been wondering where my commitment to my blog has gone? It seems as if I have become the ungrateful boyfriend that emotionally abuses its readers or reader…depending on who has stayed true to me. I hope that I will be able to lure your attention with my commitment again. Perhaps it will be promises …promises again but I promise to be better…

In case you’ve been “worried”, I’m doing well. St.Louis has brought many new adventures, and friends. Everything seems so raw. The excitement of discovering the city is slowly starting to go away. Not in a negative way, I am just starting to feel more like a native rather than a tourist. A few months ago, I was walking around asking where is this and that and now I barely rely on the GPS (although I still get lost from time to time). People are asking me for directions instead. It’s amazing how quickly one’s body and mind adapts when it is put in a brand new environment. Enough about me, let me tell you about my latest love affair with ….

So what is she  like you ask? Well, she’s nothing like New York. Her pace is slow, layed back, mysterious, yet sultry and sexy. The beauty about her is that she understands what it’s like to be rough around the edges on her east side, yet has so much class to her west. Regardless, if she didn’t understand both spectrum’s of the social filters she wouldn’t  appreciate the diverse cultures that live within her. She’s comprised of several communities, the Italians living on the Hill, the Bosnians in South County, the hipsters in the Loop, and the savvy Central West Enders. She’s got a lot to offer to all those that stand to give her a chance. However, she does not stick out to like her so called friends, Chicago, LA, and Miami. Flashy is not her style. If you had to describe her type, I would say she’s a mix between a Scorpio and a Libra. Mysterious yet charming.

She’s generous in the sense that several of her best assets are free, such as the zoo, museums,and  concerts that are available to the public regularly. She’s also an animal lover. At every outdoor patio and care, you will find dog bowls for our canine friends. I would say this is her sweet side, but with good comes a bit of evil…or at least bad girl status..

You see Louis loooves to gamble. So much so that well, she is the home of 5 major casinos. The buffets are amazing. All you can eat crab legs, be prepared to wear your fat suit that day. She took me on a date to the casino and well..let’s just say we were too tired for dessert. When she is feeling extra wild she likes to stroll around on Washington Ave, to grab a nice glass of wine at Copia or if she wants to dance stops in at Nara or Lucas Grill. However, on the beautiful and sunny 70 degree days, Louis loves Rosalitas. Great specials, great staff (and by that I mean some hunky Spanish men) and best of all outdoor seating with Spanish music playing in the background. You should try to have an affair with Louis too, she hasn’t failed me yet. Or at LEAST…give her a chance…
