Single Life
Hi again, before you ask, no my grades are not online yet. It will now be Monday before I know anything. Anyways, I’ll let you know as soon as I can. My last couple of days… well Thursday I got up and tried to catch up on some much needed chores around the house. I got a good start on a few and finished a few up. Today, I had to work, go in on my vacation. I was suppose to be sitting with a co-worker to assist her in some difficulties she has been having. I also scheduled a meeting with our network consultants only expecting him to be there for at most a couple of hours. Boy was I wrong; we ended up spending about 6 hours looking at stuff both on our network as well as the cities. So, I spent about 4 hours, in which time nothing happened, with my co-worker. I really don’t want to go in next week with her and I might not since we now have a change in the schedule anyways that will have two people on most of her shift. I do have to go in on Monday to go take a damn class for our new software (which I won’t install until after I come back from vacation). In other news, my dad should be back from New York soon, he asked me last night if I wanted to ride back up with him to pick up my mom the week of the week of the 16th. I guess I will be going, I do have to work out the logistics of Monday since I am not suppose to get back from the beach until late. It would be nice to get away other than my beach trip I really haven’t planned on doing anything. I did have about a thousand other things that I wanted to do around here that probably won’t happen now, but I guess that is life. Oh yeah, I am also apparently suppose to host a “shoot-off” between my cousin and another friend of mine. Looking at the calendar this will have to happen sometime this next week. That in a nut shell has been my life and the current decisions I am faced with.
Now, on to the good stuff, my thoughts.
As I left work this afternoon I headed to the local video store. I had to drop off a movie I watched last night (Hell Boy) and wanted to see if there was anything interesting. Well, after pursuing the ‘massive’ selection they have to offer I came to the conclusion that there wasn’t anything that I cared to see or anything that I had not seen already. It was at this point as I left the store empty handed and not wanting to go home I realized, I live a pathetic life. I had no one to call and say, “Let’s go catch a movie.” I do have a small and I mean small group of friends but lets see, one has exams next week, one is working, and the other one I really didn’t feel like calling. Plus it was kinda’ short notice and most of my friends have commitments otherwise, i.e. boy/girlfriends. No matter how trusting a boyfriend is there is always that thought that this guy might be trying to steal my chick. The absence of a significant other is also starting to wear at me a little. I had been out of the dating game for quite some time so the short stint that I spent back active in it was nice. Now I have been back out for about 6 months and kinda’ miss it. I keep telling myself that I really don’t have time for a girlfriend, which is arguably true. I have barely enough time to sleep let alone give my undivided attention to a female. But, I listen to the dare I say ranting’s of friends that are currently involved and would love to be in a situation to have some of these problems. There are definitely advantages to being single (like money and its ability to stay in the bank) but it does get old. I get tired of telling myself the same thing over and over again. You are all trying to help me adjust and become more out-going. I sometimes wonder if it is a hopeless cause. Fear not, I will continue trying until I cannot stand it any more or we succeed. Until then I can’t help but think that maybe the single life is my destiny. Hell, my little brother is married and starting a life. Am I behind? I am not even done with school yet and I have been going for five years straight. This is another topic of discussion for a blog at later (got it right this time) point. I know that many of you are in the same situation I am in and I am sure that you have had the same thoughts. Some of you I might have even helped some of you with these. Not sure what brought on these thoughts but sometimes I think about how much it sucks to be single. I guess it will all work out
Before I close for the evening a few final thoughts. I just found out that my Aunt and Uncle are coming over tomorrow. Oh joy! My aunt I can deal with, my uncle on the other hand… just plain out aggravates me! He is the kind of person that unless it is done his way or has his blessing it is incorrect. So needless to say I am overjoyed at this news. I might need to find something to do away from here in the morning. Any suggestions? Anyways, they are coming over to take my grandmother out to lunch for her birthday, which presents another problem. What the hell do I get her? I will leave you now, you are probably getting tired of reading. I leave you with a quote.

You should have called, I haven't studied a lick. I would have gone. As for tomorrow, we can leave at like 12 is if you want, do lunch in town, go get your g-ma something @ the mall (yeah shopping advice) and go look at apts... is that soon enough? will it get you out early enough? if not we can go at 11, but much before this and I will still be sleeping, it is almost midnight, and I am a day time person... heheh
as for being behind, tell me about it, but look at what he settled for. You, when you find her, will not settle, right now is just not the right time. You don't have time, so it couldn't possibly be the right time... I miss it too buddy, and I am even older (she admits outloud) hang in there... You'll find her when the time is right.
