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...

Lunch with a side of awkward

Last week I was sitting in my office wondering what to eat for lunch since I didn’t bring anything to eat. I happened to be in our break room and saw a collection of restaurant menus and began thumbing through them for suggestions. I came across a place that I had heard of but had never been to, so I decided to go there – mostly because of how close it was to the office. I walked in and looked around. The place was empty. There was a table of 4 ladies in the corner who looked like your basic bridge-playing women. Sitting in the booth next to them was another couple that looked like they were wrapping things up in order to leave. Finally a server appeared and seated me at a table across the aisle from the foursome. By then, the other couple had left. As I looked around, I noticed a lot of the place was made of or covered in wood. It’s the kind of a place you might find overlooking a body of water, but all that was outside this place was a parking lot. The server was tall, thin, dark hai...

Left Undone

Currently, there’s a meme traveling around Facebook entitled “25 Random Things About Me” where you list 25 things about yourself and send it to 25 friends. Then they send theirs to 25 friends (including you) and so on. I don’t plan on doing this myself because everything about me is random. Instead, I plan to explore 10 things about my life that I’ve never done. This is not to say I will never accomplish these things but, as yet, I have not done these things in my life to this point. I admit some of these are unbelievable – the fact that I haven’t done them but, to the best of my ability, are true. So, to this point I have never: Ridden in the back of a stretch limo – I have been to several weddings and funerals where one of these vehicles was present. I have looked in the back of a stretch limo but never ridden back there. At a party one time a limo was ordered and I thought to myself “this could be it” but it was basically a modified Lincoln Towne Car and would definitely not qualif...
