Stranger #40-

Meet Larry Mayhem.

I love different types of people. People who say or do things without giving a shit about what other people may think of them or how they may be judged. The people who do what they want because it makes them happy, not to fit in with or please society. Larry had checkered hair, and it was awesome. By his demeanor, and how much he told me, I could tell that he was one of these people. He was so brutally honest, and opened up about more than I could have ever assumed, but it made for a really good conversation. Larry is 31 and the first thing he chose to tell me was that he's single. So, I told him that I blog about my experience with those that I meet, and maybe someone would be reading and would be interested. So, I asked him what type of person he was looking for, and all he responded with was "I dont want no scrubs." I couldnt help but laugh! (and think of the song itself by TLC) I continued with "that's all your looking for?" and he said "yup!"

Larry began to tell me more about himself and said that when he was younger he attended Shallcross, (a disciplinary school in Philadelphia) and went to West Chester for a 1 1/2, majored in Philosophy, and dropped out. He's an assistant district engineer, and said "I love drinking, but my liver doesnt love alcohol!" He added "I know a lot of DJ's so I go out to the clubs and do some social networking." Larry drives an Evo, and goes to car shows. His evo is his 23rd car, and said going to car shows is just something fun to do. He continued to tell me more about himself and said "I'm not a player. I may come off that way when someone see's me, but I'm not. I like to be different. All of my tattoos have a meaning unlike all of these other douchebags who just get them for the hell of it. There's a show called Gigolos, and I'm thinking that I may be one of them. I dont know what it is, but I make people feel beautiful, I have the skills, and my cuddle skills are off the hook but I cant find the right girl. I work hard, and just come home to my dog. I have an English bull terrior! We all have hard lives, and what doesnt kill us makes us stronger. My mom is an alcoholic, and an addict. Last time I talked to her was 4 years ago when she sued me. I will never talk or socialize with her, I actually despise her! She smokes crack, and she's a hooker. I tried to commit suicide when I was 11 because of her abuse. I took a rope and hung myself in the basement. My tounge was out of my mouth, eyes were bulging out, and everything but someone found me. I'm really close with my dad, but I will never forgive her."

Eventually we moved away from this conversation and got on the topic of the bar scene and such. Larry admitted "instead of spending $200 at a bar nowadays, honestly if I'm in a lot of pain from working, i'll take a perk10, have a couple beers and I'm good. I dont find anything wrong with this." Larry has indulged in other drugs that I'm going to leave unsaid, but he did say that he thinks marijuana should be legalized. He doesnt smoke it, but he emphasized "the worst thing that marijuana does to you is give you the munchies!" He said that he would never go to a recovery meeting unless it was a "nympho anonymous" meeting. He thinks that it would be "fucking funny, because none of those people actually have a problem. What is the problem with too much sex? It doesnt hurt anyone! Those people that go and pay doctors to tell them what's wrong with them are crazy. They all need to come to me and pay me so that I can tell them that they dont have a fucking problem, the doctors are the crazy ones!"

"Everyone can talk shit, but my past makes me a better person."- Larry
