General Junk

I was talking to someone new to the area and I asked her why she moved here.  I expected the usual military move, but no.  She moved here to move out of the south!?  Being a northern Yankee I think of Virginia as the south, although I know southern's don't see it that way.  It was just funny to hear someone finally say it.

My gummies are finally here.  I ordered some gummies last week that are made from ground up vegetables and fruit.  I'm trying to pace myself with them.  It's a four month supply, but I can see why people go through them so fast.  Their yummy and good for you.  What more could you ask for?

Been trying to update this page, but I didn't like any other colors and I was hoping AOL gave us some new options, but atlas no.  So I changed my description. 

My 15 Seconds

Well I got my 15 seconds on the radio this morning.  My radio station was talking about how Regal cinemas is now introducing this remote control for customers in the theater to alert them of problems with the picture quality, sound, if some one is pirating, or someone is being a problem.  They were wondering if it was a good or bad idea.  I voted bad.  I use to be a movie usher many years ago when I was a teenager.  We use to have to do regular walk through's to make sure everything is okay.  I never see them now a days.  If the ushers not going to come in the theater now a days a remote is not going to help.  Also people with a high threshold for crap won't want a remote.  It'll be the person with the low tolerance and they'll be hitting it because the person behind them burped.  The theater business is not what it use to be years ago.  It was a really fun job.

We're having a block party tomorrow in the executive park that I work in.  Actually myself and someone else is giving it.  The owners don't seem to care, but the employees seem to like it.  The ironic incident was when I walked into the security place.  No one answered as I walking and down the long hallway.  When I finally walked into the office the woman there was scared.  Like jeez you would expect the security sales people to have something in place to protect their own people.  I guess not.

Also I added a map to the page now.  So that everyone can flag where they are.  Enjoy.

Skip the Line Fandango

Last night was one of those nights I awoke many time for a minute then fell back to sleep.  I truly dislike those nights.  Usually what happens is that I keep dreaming different little dreams and by the time I awake in the morning I have no idea what is fantasy and what is reality.  I thought one of my house mates came how late last night.  I thought I smelt perfume.  Did I almost rear end that car?  What's up with those spider webs?  It took me a little while this morning to realize it was all part of my dream induced psychosis.

I did ask my friend if C was dating anyone.  She said she wasn't quite sure, but she would find out for me.  I did like what I heard about her.  She was described as very intelligent and articulate.  She's been to law school, been a cabaret dancer and worked in ballet.  So she sounded pretty well rounded.  We'll see where it goes from here.  I'm in no rush.

Raising the Bar

I got kudos this morning from my networking group on raising the bar.  What was funny was I just did what everyone was told to do.  The veteran members admitted their were embarrassed by all the work I put into my stuff and they were kind of just sitting there winging it.

I tell you I can get use to this living alone thing.  I know I enjoy talking with my landlord a few times a week at the dinner table, but having free run of the house is great.  I've always had it.  From when I was a tiny tot till now.  Being alone in the house has always been a way of life and I enjoy and revel in it. 

Late Night

Late nights are still rough.  Even though I don't want to be back with L I do miss her.  Or at least the relationship.  I like doting on someone.  I like the relationship time very much.  I know that at some point I will be with another person again, but for now I am sad.  It is making it hard for me to let go of dating for a little while to get back to being single again.  A place where dating is optional instead of a need.  However I am still unable to let go.  I'm good when I am by myself, but when a woman comes into my field I am quickly sizing her up as date material.  Even though I know I'm not going to ask her out.  Once I can get back to that Zen mindset of being okay with or without then dating can resume.  This is the track I would like to take while wondering if C at my friend's office is single.  Oh well.

The Good & Bad

Well the air guitar is coming out and being dusted off.  My landlord is going on a trip for the next 10 days.  My other house mate Pete is moving out and Mal is never here.  So the house is mine!  <<evil laughter>>

Bummed that another one of my favorite journals went private.  Swimming in the Dating Pool just went private.  >:p  Oh well I guess I will have to search around for another one to take her place.

The Other Woman

I had a few people ask about the other woman I stated before.  I believe I talked about her in my other journal, but not here.  Please don't ask what I named her there.  Anyway it was a 3 month relationship if it could be called that many years ago.  People always had a hard time understanding it.  Since conversation was limited to, "hi, missed you, bye, have to get back to work."  Anything else were just moans and groans.  It was a relationship of sex.  I was younger and I thought hey sex all the time when we are together.  No complicated communication, no money being spent, and borderline illegal sex.  I swear it was like living in a porno movie cause it was all a fantasy.  I knew the other woman was borderline obsessed with me, but I knew that could turn around in a second.  Since I did see it every once in a while.  Topped off that any answer she every gave me was opposite to any physical evidence.  "Like is that a wedding ring?"  "No I just like wearing it.  I can take it off if you like."  However I was young and the sex was great.  So as long as she wasn't a man I was okay with it.  The sad realization I had was that sex alone doesn't make a relationship.  I was really shocked at the time since this was like a dream relationship.  Like all other aspects of my life I am always striving to better it or move it to the next level.  To my surprise I have bought a single story house without any additional floors and their was some unwritten law that I couldn't make any more.  I think she would have wanted to, but without any truthful information coming I ended it.  Actually it was like the beginning of the Six Million Dollar man with him crashing.  It ended and started up several times until I finally did crawl out with a lesson learned.
