Leaving Las Vegas

For the past few days my boss and I along with our consultants and 2 folks from our asia branch, had been in sin city for business. Meetings with our clients went very well, and we found a new client who seem to be very keen on acquiring our products. Our new client, whom I'll refer to as "A", say they're innovators in their field..To that, I said yea right..you guys are from Canada! Anyway despite A's rather diminutive size, only rev of $20 mil a year and I'm not really sure if that's in Canadian dollar or U.S.., it's good we are managing to get clients even from remote place like Canada. We need to explore new uncharted, wild markets and Canada fits that billing. Heh I kid! I love Canada! America's 51st state! ;d Everything business related was a tremendous success but well non-business related things were lets just say didn't go as well as I had hoped for...

The day before my last stay, I went to some upscale club on my driver's recommendation. I was minding my own business having a drink by myself, ok a female "entertainer" talked to me for a little bit until I told her to bugger off, when some sharply dressed fellow sat next to me. Not sure who initiated the conversation between him and I but once we started to talk, I knew he was a very interesting person. Apparently he writes and directs plays in south america. He told me about what plays he wrote and directed in south america, etc. I listened intently as someone who has some artistic background, I am always happy when I come across a person with such artistic talent and passion for his/her craft.

As the night deepened, this latin guy tells me how joyous it was for him that I was so willing to talk to some stranger with funny accent and tell him about my person life. Granted I hadn't planned on telling this guy about what I do for a living, etc but hell we were having drinks and he told me about his personal life so I had no choice! After proclaiming how happy he was, he suddenly, in a shy voice, tells me if I wanted to hear a secret..Uh oh..Now, I don't want to be rude especially to someone whom I had spend the last hour talking about very interesting things..so I just bit the bullet and told him yeah sure..Well lo and behold he proclaims he's gay..Well ofcourse! play write/director, likes musicals, dressed too sharply for a typical las vegas crowd.. After that, our conversation degenerated into sexual overtures by this latin lover..Now I like the guy as a person and before someone gets the wrong idea, I don't have anything against gay folks but when the last few sentences consist of "I need a good lover, that I'm a young sexy boy, what happens in vegas stays in vegas, nobody will know.." it gets a bit upsetting.. It's just too bad it turned out the way it did as I really wouldn't mind just talking with him about south america's contemporary arts,music, etc..

So in the end, this guy was engaging in a conversation with me for the prospect of getting laid, not because he and I shared common passion for art..That's what upset me, not because I got hit on by some gay person. I've got hit on by gay folks before, and I am usually flattered but this time it was upsetting for the reasons I've explained above..I politely declined his ovetures. He then insisted on taking me to my place since that's the polite thing to do in latin america...uhh no..I think i'll have so more drinks..really really strong ones...He finally relented and left..I sat there alone and drank for maybe 30 mins til some pretty young thang came along and sat next to me..Now finally, a princess in a nice albeit revealing dress comes to rescue this lonely sexy prince in distress!! After talking for a good while buying her couple drinks..she says lets dance and after that she'll "entertain" me..oh shucks..not another "entertainer"! sigh...I just told the lovely lady..maybe tomorrow...
Why am I attracting "entertainers"..or gays when I just want regular laides?? I have no idea where it all went wrong but I'm glad to be back in my boring, old, quiet home..
