I started to write down all the names...

...of the women I have had the pleasure of enjoying sexually, and the sad thing was there were two on the list that I did not remember... oh I don't mean that, what I mean is I remember my time with them, I just forgot their names for a bit... finally remembered though, which is a good thing...

Halo 2 is everything they say it is...

Check out ESPN's Tim Keown - especially his "This Week's List" column... great stuff - funny and insightful...

Ladies, if you want to keep your man (particularly if you are married) do your best to stay the same size as the day you were when you fit into that wedding gown... step back from the foods that get you fat (you know the ones) or alter your excercise/diet to keep the weight off... you do this for two reasons... one is to keep the man you have (if you want) and two, if you stay the same size, and your hubby strays, you'll be a hot middle aged woman with you having the pick of the litter... you just can't lose...

Yeah, Yeah, having kids... makes it tough to keep the weight off... so what? Just do it, baby, whatever it takes... trust me on this...

J is ill, R is too... gotta work to dodge this one...

Gonna go play a bit of Hold 'Em...

Adeus

Sometimes it bugs me...

...when I have the idea, implement it, work my ass off to get it going, only to find others taking credit... how many times has this happened to you? I know you're out there... doing something, making something... and it gets good, really good... with strong potential to become big, really big... then...

ah, who am I kidding, anyways? I'll get in for a piece and get out, start my own deal now with what I have learned... life goes on, eh?

J and I talked a lot tonight... things are going well... the D is quiet, though... always love talking to her... a K swooped into my life for a bit, but has substantial luggage, so we need to peel away from that... J is by far the most unencumbered, so best to stick with her...

So, sports fan, time for a bit of the old snoozin'...

wiedersehn

Weary...

Very tired tonight, sports fans... long day...

J and I talked tonight, twas a good thing...

Have decided to revert back to regular typing... seems a bit easier on the eyes...

Ciao

okay, sports fans, explain this one to me...

...please...

so today, i decide to permanently eschew the use of CAPS in this and future bloggings, with a long - term plan to do away with punctuation altogether ...

so, back to the story... this morning, amid a pleasant chat with my best friend,the d, she says to me: "So, are you seeing someone?"... now, on occasion, d will ask me this, and part of me always wonders if she asks due to feelings for me, or she asks because she's grown weary of my attentions (most likely the latter)... actually it was a ploy on my part to stall for time, as shocked as I was to hear her ask this question, at this time... I tell her yes, that I was seeing a j , and explained what just happened to me this past friday (see initial post, if you dare) ...

i'll spare you the sordid details of the rest of our conversation... by the way, for those of you keeping track, i've had to correct three CAPS errors in the paragraph above...

anyways, a few hours later, my ex, l, shows up at my work unexpectedly - it's been about 6 months since my last contact with her - and she also asks me if i was seeing someone...

now, to have both the d and my ex, l, show up on the same day, and both ask me the same question... astronomical odds of occurrence in this so - called life of mine... can you explain this? why do these crazy things in your life just pop up all at once? i mean, you're drifting along, waters calm, dangling an arm in the warm water, sun warming the body, when a flaming meteor the size of a two ton medicine ball hurtles out of the sky and slams into the water near your boat, causing an immediate capsizing...

in a completely unrelated topic, i'm recommending google news: http://news.google.com/ great compilation of sources, page seems to go on forever when you scroll down, and links are quick and efficient...

of course all this makes me go back to wondering about j and i... what to do? most sources that have my ear (and respect) say i should move on, find another out there... i'm really reluctant to do so... seems i've grown fond of j... she's the coolest chick... besides, i figure when you find a good thing, you gotta stick with it for a while, see what happens... so i think that's the path i'll take... will keep you posted...

made it 4 paragraphs without using CAPS... new typing pattern seems to be taking shape...

well, kids, that's pretty much it for today... see you tomorrow, same bat time, same bat channel...

oh, before i forget, take some time to scoll blog pages at random... some pretty cool stuff out there...

adios

Smoking, Sitting, & Typing

I'll never understand women. You meet someone out of the blue. There is this obvious attraction. You see each other for a bit. Common interests are shared, new and different experiences. Laughter is everywhere.

Then, from left field comes: "I don't lust after you", followed shortly by: "I mean, I used to lust after you, but I don't anymore." Whew... And this just six short days after discussing building "our bed". See what I mean?

They do this, I think, intentionally, but without malice on their part. A fishing analogy here would be appropriate. They hook you. Get you to commit. Then they run for the hills., terrified that they will get burned again.

When that was not even a consideration in my mind. Always thought laughter to be key. Get together, feel warm and safe, laugh a lot. Life goes on.

Ah, well, now I have to ponder pursuit or exchange (probably preceded by a prolonged solo run). What's a guy to do?

Will keep you posted on this and other fascinating developments. Rather astonished you've decided to read this far.

Arnold for President, indeed. I'm saving for Palau. Seems a relatively safe geographic location.

And with that, I bid you Adieu.
