End of sentence

I realized I hadn't updated my progress with A-girl and L-girl.

A-girl is pretty much off the radar at this point. I never once got the feeling she might even remotely consider me as a potential. She's young and cute, she's got the rest of her life ahead of her -- what would she want with me? I overheard her and another girl in the office talking about guys they were hanging around with in a club (maybe a bar?). "Oh, yea... he was cute", she'd say "but not as cute as [some other guy's name]". She's maybe a little out of my league, looks-wise, and she could probably get someone who might be considered better looking, but certainly not better.

As far as L-girl goes, she's saying some really dumbass things these days that are really turning me off. She keeps turning me down for lunch dates which is really starting to annoy me. Superman tells me that he doesn't see us ending up together and, honestly, neither do I. I was basically looking for a gal-pal to try and get me comfortable with women and all their foibles -- I guess she doesn't want to help me with that.

I watched 'Hooking Up' last night on TV. Part of it focused on a hottie yoga instructor who was going on VERY bad first dates. I don't know what those guys problems were.... this girl had long blond hair, beautiful eyes and a toned body to match. So after all the bad dates she picks this guy who I NEVER would have paired her with. She says "he's cute" and I'm thinking "this dude looks like a troll". No accounting for taste. Anyhow, they go out on their date and it's completely comfortable and nice and she gets a second date. It just confirms my belief that I have no idea what women are looking for -- at all!

And even though I'm somewhat against it, this TV show does make the idea of finding someone online a little more appealing. I mean, it pairs you with someone you might not have met otherwise. Isn't that a good thing? Why does the person I'm with have to travel in my same circle? I'm not talking about a long-distance relationship here, but someone outside my general comfort zone would be good. My friends, family and co-workers have been no help -- whatsoever -- in pairing me up with someone. Maybe they're trying to tell me something.

Hmmmm...

Top 10 Cartoon Duo's

This time out the subject is Top 10 Cartoon Duo’s. I was only going to make this a Top 5 list but I had so many entries to work with, I added the last 5. Here’s the list is no particular order – wait, that’s not right… 10. Ren & Stimpy: Call this entry the ‘Odd Couple’ of the group. A cat and a dog (I think) living together and making their way despite their obvious instincts to be sworn enemies. I have to admit that this cartoon was hard to watch sometimes because of the ‘gross’ nature of both characters – pooping and boogers a big part of the vernacular. “Oh, Re-e-e-n?”, “Yes, Stimpy!” 9. Inspector Gadget & Penny: An uncle and his niece go around solving crimes against Dr. Claw. It was actually Gadget and his dog, Brain, that tried to solve the crimes and Penny that actually solved them. She would tell Brain the solution and that crazy dog would expend a great deal of energy trying to make the Inspector understand the solution. Finally, when Inspector Gadget would ‘stumble...

Ending in "O"

I happened to see two movies today with no apparent link until I noticed that they both ended with the letter “O”. I didn’t plan that. First up, Superman and I went to see “Juno”. Every year around this time Superman makes a flight of fancy to see every picture nominated for Best Picture of the Oscars. I don’t have a problem with it, I just think it’s interesting. “Juno” is basically about a 16 year old, high school junior who has gotten herself pregnant. She immediately decides the best thing to do is to give the baby up for adoption. So she and her stereotypical air-headed, cheerleader friend check the ‘Penny Saver’ for a good couple to give the baby to. (yeah, that's where *I'd* go...) So they find a well off couple that lives in a nice neighborhood, with a nice house and nice furniture. Nice, right? Well, Juno falls hook-line-and-sinker for the couple and even feels the need to try and connect with them. I guess, for me, it wasn’t about what was seen in the movie but what ...

The Memory of Lists Past

I was cleaning out a closet tonight and found a lot of papers that held some kind of memory for me. Some were newspaper articles, some were funny memos... most were written or drawn by me. I came across the following, entitled "List for 1990": 1. Reorganize your life 2. Evaluate your feelings 3. Take a risk but be smart 4. Take care of #1 (yourself!) 5. Don't do anything you don't want to do 6. Reward risk-taking 7. Don't be afraid 8. Change the way you do things 9. Go somewhere when you get bored, don't just sit around 10. Find out how to take a compliment 11. Generally be more aggressive 12. Don't worry how other people feel 13. Learn to like yourself 14. Have fun! You will note that some things never change. It's most interesting to see what I thought about myself back then. Just thought I'd share...
