Well the years start coming and they don’t stop coming
Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running
Didn’t make sense not to live for fun
Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb
So much to do so much to see
So what’s wrong with taking the back streets
You’ll never know if you don’t go
You’ll never shine if you don’t glow…

“What’s the deal with exes? I mean, hey. Why don’t they just go away? I mean, didn’t we break up? WHY ARE YOU STILL HERE? And how about that airplane food? (As I channel my inner-Seinfeld)”.
But seriously, what is the deal? Maybe I am in a unique situation because I am in close (way too close actually) proximity to one of mine, but please….for the love of (fill in the deity of your personal belief system here), leave us alone!!! I think maybe when someone is deleted from your Facebook and phone contacts they should be forbidden from any further contact what so ever. Can I get a witness?
I have exes in many places now (none in Texas New York
Along those lines I find myself not being able to take a hint when it strikes me in the head like the baseball bat in The Untouchables (one of the best movies of all time if you ask my opinion, and you didn’t). As I might have mentioned here once or twice, I have been one or two internet dates. Ok, I have mentioned it dozens of times and I have been on dozens of dates. Don’t judge me!!! I belong to a free website now because I decided if the level of crazy is the same, why should I pay $120 for 6 months to be “matched”? As a male you are expected to be the initiator of contact. Another reason it is awesome to be a guy. You get to pay for the food/drinks/movie/coffee/concert/hotel room/whatever once you are deemed worthy. Herein lies the rub…
I consider myself a pretty creative person. I am astute and can craft a semi-witty email. I actually take the time to read a perspective flock members profile before I reply and I make reference to things that seemed important, if only important to them. It isn’t easy I assure you. Sometimes the profile is as simple as “I never know what to write in these things (a scary thought that this simpleton is either pluralizing a singular event or they are dumbfounded across multiple venues) but this thing says I have to write about myself”. There is also the ever popular “I am looking for an honest person” or “I want someone that is drama free”. Another favorite is “if you are just looking to hook-up, keep moving”. Last night I actually saw a profile where the genius just entered exclamation points (!) to fill in the necessary number of characters to allow their profile to be posted ostensibly to be replaced with actual information later when more time is available. I guess they need to get their profile of exclamation points up there for all prospective fishermen to see immediately. All I can say is WOW.
Where do I begin to rant on this?
- · If you don’t know what to write, then don’t. Walk away and go to a bar and kill a few more brain cells.
- · If we weren’t going to be honest with you we certainly aren’t going to tell you up front.
- · No one is drama free. Sorry. And if you found someone that was 100% drama free, they would be a horribly boring person. Drama makes the world go around. Ask for a small percentage of drama, but none? Not gonna happen.
- · The next one is separated by gender.
o LADIES. If we were just looking to hook-up, and you wrote this, we certainly aren’t going to tell you up front. I have heard from woman that guys will actually come right out and say this.
o GUYS. This is not a good look at all. It cheapens the brand. Stop it.
- · Keep moving is a misnomer of sorts. We are all sitting at an internet connected device of some form or another. We are not actually on pond fishing. Dummy.
- · Lastly…if I took the time to write the least you can do it write back and say you are not interested. It is common courtesy.
I will close with a few things that are on my mind. Nothing to do with the above rant or anything else even remotely connected.
Random Brain Droppings (stolen from George Carlin)
1. A couple years ago I posted on Facebook that I was in Target and realized I could buy anything in the entire store, pay for it with cash and not be impacted. I moved to SC last year (sort of anyway) and that went away. I could now do the same thing at almost any retailer, yet I remain a cheapo. I go to Target to get cereal because it is the cheapest place. I go to Stein Mart for work clothes because I can still get Nautica dress shirts, but they are $22 rather than $55 anywhere else. I also still sneak candy into the movie because it is crazy expensive there. As cheap as I am I am still taking dates to expensive restaurants because I like to eat good food. Strange.
2. I want Siri on my phone just to be able to have my phone call me Steve Rogers.
3. I think I am more excited about The Avengers than I am for The Dark Knight Returns. I have seen Batman in many forms (even one that was shorter that Vicky Vale when they danced) but I have never seen Earths Mightiest Mortals.
4. I, I, I, I…want the knife. Plleeeeeeaseeee? (I love you if you got the reference without Google. Hate you a little bit if you didn’t.
5. I have never seen one episode of America’s Got Talent but I will watch now with Howard Stern as a judge. Give it a try. He is America
That’s my story and I’m sticking to it……
Ok…I don’t know who reads down this far but if you have I need you to do me a favor. Go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v3pTFFHzgOkand laugh your ass off. This kid is fucking funny as hell.
