I had a long conversation with someone on the phone today and it ended up focusing on me and my lack of needing anyone really. At first I fought this assumption thinking this person was ridiculous, "how dare you assume I don't need anyone!" I said. But he gave examples and examples and examples of instances in my life where I have shown I would do just fine without anyone really. I got sad, not because I cared much for what we had just learned but that I had gotten to a point in my life where I am a loner. And not even a cool loner with tattoo's and a beard, with life experiences and my seed sprinkled across the world. A loner who sells carpet and analyzes his fantasy baseball team with his free time. Yet I'm happy. Am I happy?
Now the big topic of the conversation as it tends to do with me and my friends when we are getting deep(which occurs once a year) is my love life. Ahh my love life, the butt of every joke. There is a great line in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind where Jim Carey is on the train and sees Kate Winslet drinking coffee, she smiles and he says "Why do I fall in love with the first woman who shows me the least bit of attention." Thats me! Right there. Sums it up. Boom.....outta here. Now granted I need to be attracted to her, but that is pretty much the only criteria other than a bit of attention. But if we hit those two point I am in love. This person could say I eat children and want to wear your skin as a coat and I would hear I want to bear your children and I'm cold I want to wear your coat. So I get involved with them and 3 months later realized Gob Bluth style that "I made a huge mistake." Now luckily for me I do everything in my power not to bring attention to myself, because honestly....I just really don't care.
I want to care, I wish I really yearned for a girl or multiple girls. I just don't. I am missing that gene, the "I want to be with that girl there" gene. Maybe I am just lazy. Maybe it is easier for me not to feel anything. Maybe I am gay? Taylor has been looking sexy lately......
I'm not real sure where this rant was headed, I am having one of those nights where I see loving couples strolling in San Diego while I run and am envious of them. Rather than my normal reaction which is get the f*#@ out of my way.
At least Comic Con is in town, boy do I feel better about myself after see that scene.
And I promise my next 2 posts will not be anywhere close to feelings related, I promise. These feeling stuffed blogs might be making people doubt my life long claim to not having feelings.
PS- I love Steely Dan

At least your format isn't the same as mine. Hmph.
why you got to go and get all serious and introspective on me? it makes leaving sarcastic and snide comments about your sexuality much less entertaining.
you take the fun out of making fun of you...
girls just get in the way of your fantasy sports performance. be happy you don't have one in your life... because really, what's more important: love or fantasy? (that is not a trick question
