The 2009 agenda
We survived 2008, and if you're reading this, then congratulatons for having survived it as well. We're not sure what that means, but we hope it means something for you.
On a personal level, 2008 wasn't a bad year, or a great year, but rather it was a lot like any other of the last few years - more college, more work, more writing, more parenting, and more realizing that singlehood is not going away for a while, for some good reasons:
On a personal level, 2008 wasn't a bad year, or a great year, but rather it was a lot like any other of the last few years - more college, more work, more writing, more parenting, and more realizing that singlehood is not going away for a while, for some good reasons:
- The ones who like the "nice guy" with a career, community involvement, good with kids, etc. don't like the twice-divorced, "late bloomer" type,
- The ones who are more conservative types who like the politics, but don't like the long hair and hard rock,
- The ones who are more liberal who are ok with the hair and music don't like the politics,
- The ones who like the "goes to church regularly" usually think Catholics are heathens and expect yours truly to be a saint (which I ain't),
- The professional types ... yep, long hair, hard rock again, and ...
- Those who are "reverse doormats" - their relationships are histories of taking crap from all sorts of losers and when they find someone who isn't a con artist or creep, they expect that person to jump through a million hoops (and end up ditching me for another total loser).
So don't hold your breath waiting for wedding invitations, which means the blogging will continue - but then again most of us bloggers are hopelessly single.
Or maybe we're just hopeless. Or maybe it's just me being the square peg in the round hole - the story of my life.
Ok, I've taken a rare opportunity to vent. I feel better now - now back to business ...
Since we're all about our readers in the Blogland, we thought we'd solicit your feedback as to what should be on the Blogland's agenda for 2009. You can select one or MORE of the choics in the poll below:
In the meantime, I'm always up for some Blogmore Stew....
Notice we left our names this time - hah.
One of the nicest neighbors I have ever had is twice-divorced, thanks to a sick, sick, sick megalomaniac messing in his life for sheer entertainment and jealousy.
Anyway -- there are some of us out here that know, through trial-by-fire experiences that things aren't always as they appear. And some of those old, married, deaconed b*stards are going to have hell to pay in the next life.
PeaceOut...
Your Bud,

MIKE - I may not be good at relationships, but I can cook. But when I come up your way, all I want is to find some good BBQ.
SPICOLI - I'm not going to throw stones at my ex-wives. The first marriage was two teens, which was bound for failure. The second one ... nobody is perfect and in spite of the problems, it wasn't all her fault. There were things I regret, as well as things she did for me that made a difference in my life.
Actually, I've been thinking about adoption. Since my oldest daughter moved out in May and my marital prospects ain't looking too good, this might be the year to start that ball rolling.
Revelation 12:7-10, KJV
And there was war in heaven: Michael and his
angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and
his angels, And prevailed not; neither was their place
found any more in heaven. And the great dragon was cast
out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which
deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth,
and his angels were cast out with him. And I heard a loud
voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and
strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his
Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which
accused them before our God day and night."

I guess you already knew that...
