Of Girls and Bad Mornings
So, I will start out with the negative crap. It is funny, how thin my skin really is. I wrote something for work, and it got shredded. The thing is, I thought it was good, I thought it met what the boss asked for, and suddenly its not what the boss asked for. What is the purpose of my voice again? Oh, its this blog I suppose. It kills me, I actually woke up fired up about my creativity and my work, and again I get just knocked down to size. Marcus when we started this blog thing, told me that he was surprised that I caved as easily as I did. And I did cave easily.
The fact is, I just had no desire to make a fight out of it. And this thing, yeah I liked my writing, and the criticisms were unfair, but its such entrenched political stuff, it just does not matter. I am addicted to the work, so that is where I am.
And now, girls. Holy crap. Last night I walked into target to buy some socks, laugh if you want, my socks rule. And there was a girl standing there ordering some food. Short dark hair, just tall as a skyscraper, and had on a scarf, and a gorgeous black coat. It was breath taking. Girls. Pretty women. WOMEN!!! I forgot to look.
Being frank, I did okay for a few years there. I had two amazingly fulfilling long term relationships, and LOTS of differantly fullfilling short term relationships. And heres the thing, as I grew in size, I gave up on it. I seriously gave up on the ladies. A few months back a girl showed interest in me, and it freaked me out after a while. I was upset at my inability to perform sexually in the same was as when I was 20. It was weird. So it ended.
But now, I feel alive. Connected to my body. Thinner and more active than before. And women are showing up. All over the place. Someday, I might even ask one of them out on a date.
What an amazing revelation.
