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...

High Kings vs. Celtic Thunder

I had the rare chance to compare Irish music this weekend. I caught performances by both “The High Kings” and “Celtic Thunder”. First up was HK: The show was filmed in front of an audience somewhere in Ireland. The set appeared to be a simple wooden stage that was reminiscent of a boat dock – simple and effective. There were drums on the left and a small supporting band on the right. While they played, a large video wall displayed images behind them – mostly water – setting the mood for the song they were singing at the time. The vocalists were excellent. You could tell they were really Irish by their brogues, which were honest and uncluttered. The harmonies were good and you could tell they were really singing. In the beginning of the show they made it clear that everyone should know all the words to the songs they were singing and the audience was asked to “sing up”. They started with a rousing version of “The Rocky Road To Dublin” which drew everyone in and they never let the audien...

Women who disappoint

Looking back over this long weekend, I have found that there are some women in my life who have disappointed me recently: - My mother: Well, it always starts at the top, doesn't it? My mother almost single-handedly soured Thanksgiving for me this year. She has always been the type of mother who says 'out of the kitchen while I'm cooking!'... so for years we've left her alone while she prepares the meal. Mind you, we bring a lot of the materials and she just heats them up or preps them. Anyhow, this year after everything was ready to go and she was about to announce this, she comes out with: "I'm not doing this anymore. This is my last year of it. I'm almost 70 years old and I'm tired of doing it". There is a dramatic pause while this sinks in before we start pointing the finger at my oldest brother and his wife taking over the duties. I'm not sure what anyone else made of it but I felt a little blindsided. A little bit later, after the foo...
