Revelations

So several things dawned on me (with the help of some of your emails).  There is probably a lot about me that the vast majority of my readers don't know about me.  I'll answer a lot of the questions posed to me, today.

Age: 35
Favorite Song: Ice, Ice, Baby by Vanilla Ice (Shut up)
Favorite Color: Green. White is a close second.
Do you drive? If so, what? Absolutely, everyday.  I drive a 2003 Yellow Hummer H2 (6.0L). Love it.
What was your first car? 1964 Pink (Samoan Coral) Ford Thunderbird Landau Edition (The decked out model) 390ci V8 with Cruise-o-matic transmission. Awesome Car.
Random fact about me:  I'm the seventh great-grandson of Daniel Boone

I'll answer more in the next entry.  I'm not exactly sure why my blog's audience has grown (significantly), but I promise to address as many questions (that are appropriate) each entry as I can.  So, keep them coming.

Something I wanted to talk about this entry is love.  Define Love. Exactly.  Love can be the source of great pleasure or great pain (and in a lot of cases both at the same time).  I've been a few relationships since my divorce and one way or another they haven't worked out.  I mean we still are friends and still talk (in most cases), but it just wasn't meant to be.  My problem is easy.  I fall in like\love with the idea of the person rather than the person.  That's dangerous.  I have a mental image of the person that over time gets fewer an fewer flaws, so I essentially create a perfect partner for myself.  The problem is that's not the person.  It's my imagination.  I believe that there is a person out there for me, but I've all but given up looking.  All things in time.  The problem (If you want to call it that) is I'm terribly optimistic when dating.  That's just who I am, I really can't help that, but I can help whom I date.  Long story short, I'm an old romantic at heart, but in a culture where one night stands are socially acceptable, it's tough to find a kindred spirit.

Sorry about getting all serious there.  I'll have the girls for Halloween this year and they all have their costumes.  They are waiting on me to get mine.  My Batman costume is way too big on me now (dropping 30+ pounds will do that), so I'm at a loss.  I found a Lego Batman costume that was awesome, but it was only in children's sizes.  I also thought about just getting one of those huge masks and just calling it, but I'm afraid of all the diseases and lice that are probably haunting each one, seeing as that everyone seems to want to where them as they go through the store.  Ew.  The search continues...

I'm keeping this one short(ish) because the last four I wrote were pretty lengthy.  I look forward to your emails!

Until next time dear readers...

A Little Bit of Serious (Part 2)

There was an overwhelming amount of feedback (that I kept private) in response to my previous post. Thank you to everyone who took time to send me comments, I was quite moved.

For those of you who didn't send me anything - I won't judge you. (Yes I will)

Just kidding, I try not to judge anyone, because I've been judged too many times.

Enough of the serious, let's laugh a little. That's enough.

As you know (or should, if not - go back and read my blog. I'll wait. Done? Good, you may continue) I have been on a diet and I've been exercising. I'm not you know, super strict or anything so I'm obviously not meeting my goals. I want to look like:

Instead, I think I look like this:

I'd even settle for:

But, it's a work in progress so I can't be too judgmental about myself. Also therefore, neither can you.

Halloween is coming up, the only holiday where grown ups can dress up like little kids and little kids can dress up like grown ups (although looking at the students in middle school, you would think that they were much older than they are. I blame Miley Cyrus. Why Not.). I have a great costume in mind, and no, it's not Batman! Remember, I've got a fear of being labeled Fatman, so lay off. It will be a surprise for you, dear reader. All I can say is, it will be a great, great surprise if you see me.

CONTEST!!!

I would like to hear (read) your feedback. I would like you to tell me what you think I should be for Halloween. The Prize, you ask? Respect. Also I'll through in an amazon card or something ($15). I will randomly pick a winner before Halloween. Ready? Set! Go!
