Today one of the young girls in the office said "you remember what it was like when you were in your twenties". Um, yeah, I do. It really wasn't that long ago. surreal

Apparently they think I am really old. I hope I still know a few of them when they reach the venerable age of 30. tongue

I just want to say ... that it was seriously one of the nicest things anyone has done for me on this site when u actually thought abt me and asked your meditation friend abt techniques he uses to get rid of stress. Seriously. Im a mess and Im just sloppy when it comes to dealing with stress/pressure. Im not on aim a lot but hell, I'll look for him if he's game for helping me out .. my aim name is Code Rabies.

On the good side, at least these "girls" in your office treat u with respect much like they would treat an elder, ya know? Someone whos "older and wiser". Me being a young manager .. I never got any respect from the younger ppl OR the older ppl, because I wasnt "old enough" for the young ppl to respect and I wasnt "old enough" for the older ppl to respect as their boss. I was screwed, lol!

Hello everyone,

Not a lot going on lately. Working a little less, going out a little more. I think the work is easier. I've been having a good time but I'm tired. Been to a few parties, seen a few movies and eaten way too many dinners. Some of these have been actual dates, but mostly just out with friends. It's been fun but I...

Hi, im doing well, enjoying fantasy football this year, my first season, and am surprised by the whole favre/vikings thing! I've felt exactly the same as you do about love, and I am lucky to have found someone! It makes the world spin more smoothly, shall we say?

I was in Vancouver once, ages ago, it was a wonderful city. Back in my touring days, a group of guys who owned a restaraunt promoted our band, put us up, and we did some fun shows on Victoria Island. (They had funny acronym for themselves, the promoters; "POOF." ) More of and inside joke for them if I remember correctly; the Psychedelic Order of Old Farts!

I hope youve enjoyed my waxing nostalgic, for what its worth, it is my birthday after all! wink
Good luck to you in the matters of the heart, and in your travels. Its always nice to hear from you.

Well the only way I try one out there is if I get to buy you one too smile

My thanksgiving was nice. My friend and his wife invited me over for dinner. We ate, then played some PS3 for awhile. I'll probably be solo for Christmas this year though which sucks. Hope you had a nice thanksgiving as well smile

Tomorrow I will be in Philadelphia at a Law School fair. Doesn't that sound fun? Oh and I get to fill in at the last minute as a speaker. Yay.

This will be my first time in Philly and I will only be there for approximately 48 hours. What should I do while I am there?

Mini update: Trip to Philly relatively uneventful, had a...

Hope the lame class has ended.

School is going well academically. I feel like i'm ready to end this semester, though. I get irritated easily with the busy work teachers assign. I feel like college has too much redundency for me. God, don't even get me started on how much I hate that fracking musib class. I wish I had never taken it.

What's new with you?

Because I felt like I needed something to do besides work, something to keep my mind off things I can't change, I decided to take a poetry appreciation class. I used to love poetry. I thought it would be fun.

I hate this class. I apparently don't appreciate poetry as much as I thought I did. blackeyed

I feel like everyone around me wears a mask. Hiding who they really are. Trying to look like what they think I want. But never letting me see the real them.

That sucks.

On a completely different subject...what makes people that have never even talked to me on the site suddenly send me private messages of an explicit nature? I know I have been a...

I don'r know you at all and I'm sending you a message... does this make me creppy smile tongue
salome:
Trust me, it's not that you come off as desperate, it's that people think that since there are boobs on this site, there's a chance they could touch them. It has everything to do with their lack of social skills and nothing to do with you.

Everyone wears masks, even with the people closest to them. It's a reality of the human condition. But when the masks slip, even only for a moment, it's all worthwhile.

I just want someone to cuddle with. Is that so wrong? frown

I have a bunch of reading to do for work. And a few tapes to watch. And I really don't want to do it. I just want to cuddle up on the couch with someone and watch old movies.

Instead I am sitting at home alone, drinking and feeling sorry for myself.

I am...

Hello dear.

Yeah, not the best circumstances re the coming back from Afghanistan thing. My idiocy is clearly not limited to domestic foibles. Thanks for your thoughts. The real pisser is that I really really miss the damn place. So much to be done . . . .

It's been ok being back though. I've been spending most of my time in La Crosse doing what I suppose people from La Crosse do best: drinking. I keep telling myself I'm gonna head out on vacation one of these days, but I've been pretty indecisive. It's like I need a reason to go somewhere or I won't go. Even though there is no reason for me to not go.

But La Crosse is a beautiful place so it could be worse. I've got my garden, but that's been pretty low-maintenance/high yield this year. (I think I've distributed organic tomatoes and squash to half the city.) I've got space if I want it, meddling family if I don't.

What's with the lack of cuddles? You don't have a pillow? wink

I love my friends. They are the best.

As a child my favorite breakfast was blueberry poptarts and chocolate milk. I was feeling nostalgic today on the way home from a very long day at the office and picked up some of each for a midnight snack. It's not nearly as good as I remember. In fact, it's pretty gross.

I've been riding my bike too and from work lately. It feels good....

Me neither, actually. I watch a few specific shows, but I don't nearly as much random channel surfing as I used to.

Does anybody else feel guilty when there are names on their friends list that they don't recognize? At some point there must have been been some kind of connection with these people. And now I've completely forgotten them. Kind of sad.

I'm pretty sure I'm one of those people that people forget. tongue

Anyway, I took your advice and came back. Nice to meet you too. smile
grayness:
Thanks you. smile
And that applies to you in equal measure.

I have no idea what to write here. Other than I am back and I'm really not sure why...


It wasn't the cheap membership or the naked girls...or even all the great people I have met on here. Not that those things aren't great. They just weren't enough to entice me back. I'm not sure what was.

Maybe I just need someplace to let off...

Of course you are still single. You fall for the wrong men. I can relate to that one.

It was good talking with you. I've wanted to get together like that for a long time. We should do it again. Maybe see a show?
toothpickmoe:
And thank you. smile

I think I have spent too much time waiting around for things that are never going to happen. Time to move on, make some changes. Before my life becomes filled with unfulfilled dreams and missed chances.

Maybe some day I'll tell you how that all worked out. smile

That's what you never seemed to get. I am the real boy, the other guy wears so many masks you can't ever be sure who he is. I'm the real thing. wink

I miss you. love
rosehips:
I'd love to get together. I don't have any contact info but, yeah, I know where to find you. I'll drop by some time next week. Looking forward to a good long talk.
