You really seem to be the glue for your family... that's wonderful of you. I can imagine it'd get pretty exhausting though, both physically and emotionally. I have siblings who are not pulling their own weight as well, so I can understand where you're coming from there.
I don't think wanting a life of your own is too much to ask.
Sorry about the lack of updates, but I haven't been able to get online too much lately - I've mostly been taking care of my Grandparents and they don't have internet access.
Thankfully, I've been able to fit in some acting work here and there: 2 Plays ('Leg Wrestling with Wittgenstein' and 'Southern Hospitality) and various auditions - from which I was cast in approximately... Read More
The run of the play went pretty well, it was fun being the lead - though I'm thankful that I was allowed a scene or two to catch my breath/hydrate. It wasn't as profittable this year, partially because we didn't get as much grant money, but we had a great cast ('scept for one schlub who prone to tardiness) and... Read More
As I'd announced in my December blog, I turned in my resignation with EB Games. I just didn't actually stop working there until Mid-January, because I liked my coworkers and didn't want to leave during the hectic holiday season (aka be a douche). Unfortunately, I have yet to find a replacement dayjob - If you have any... Read More
Oh, lol, no, he didn't propose here on SG. He asked me via webcam last summer, and then he did it "officially" in person in November ♥ It was sweet - we were just laying in bed one morning, talking and enjoying the quiet (my house is a bit of a zoo - 2 dogs, 2 cats of my own, and at the time a foster mama kitty and her FIVE kittens). He sneakily took the ring out of its box (which was in his bag next to the bed, and asked me. He had part of the chourus from our song engraved on the inside too
All I want is to be able to be a good person and get my fair share of happiness: to be able to leave this world a little better that it was when I got here, to help other good people to achieve their dreams, and hopefully share my life with a worthwhile lady in the process.
One thing I like about Suicide girls is... Read More
What up? Nice post. I feel ya. Funny thing is I saw your face on the Portland brunch thread and was like I know this guy. Where from though? Yup I did see a few episodes of the show but not all. I rooted for you being a home town guy and all. How did you end up doing there? One reason I actually watched the show was that I stumbled across this thing called the pick up podcast about a year ago in the itunes store and listened to it once in a while and was actually surprised that the guys were pretty solid. They had Mystery on there every once in a while and he seemed like a pretty descent guy. The podcast guys impressed me because they were all about being genuine and just going out with confidence to have a good time not to just go out and score. I'm not sure if that's what the gist of what they tried to teach you on the show or not...but anyway.
As far as SG's, they are the same as any other set of girls, they very in every way. It's more of a fashion/lifestyle issue than anything else that makes them different. Some of them like nice guys, some like mean guys, some like em smart some don't care. Girls are girls and if you can figure them all out you got something nobody else does.
Bars aren't bad places to go to, they just aren't keen on finding worthy relationships. Normally when you are in a bar, you're dealing with people who are in the process of lowering their inhibitions and have the tendency to do things they normally wouldn't do.
I don't drink, i don't make a habit of going to bars. Not a big fan of most of today's pop-music being played at ear-drum shattering volumes. Bars are rather boring to me too. I will go to bars, but i would go without pretenses of meeting someone.
I met the people i dated in places i would normally go to, doing things i would normally do. By doing something you wouldn't normally do, you're kind of putting on a front that you really can't keep up. If you met someone in a bar, would you really want to continue going to that bar to keep them happy?
The current girlfriend i met doing something i would normally do. I was honest with her, i was upfront with her and have done nothing but communication openly. The thing i have realized though, is that people, both men and women, have become accustomed to what you have described. She's still getting used to being treated with respect, not being told what to do, not being cussed at and it's taking time to actually have her communicate openly. Her last relationship basically dealt with her being told that her opinion didn't matter or being yelled at for voicing it.
While i understand your intentions, that show was bad news from the beginning. I understand you were happy to be on it, but they're basically idiots pandering to what society wants to see more than actually helping anyone. The best thing that could have probably happened to you is that you were let go from it. You seem like a really nice guy and that show is going to do nothing but manipulate everything you said or did for ratings. In their eyes ratings are greater than you're desire to communicate anything.
There may be someone in your life that you're currently overlooking. A lot of people are afraid to express emotions in fear of rejection. Take time to stop and look around and make sure you aren't overlooking someone. Most importantly, do what you normally do, and you're bound to run across someone that piques your interest and their interest is as piqued as yours is.
