This is funny... or at least, telling.

So I'm shuffling around the house today, Saturday, just hanging out, reading some comics, having coffee and cleaning a little bit. And, since I'm going through divorce, I find myself thinking a lot about my ex wife. So the mind wanders, from thought to thought, as it will. I think my brain is more active than many, certainly more active than I want or need at times, like a neon light shining through your bedroom window as you try to sleep, with no way to shut it off.... and the thought goes through about dating. How do I date somebody? It's been years since I dated anyone. Do I go to bars? I'm 33 and want a family, so I'm not sure that's the best place. Although my ex wife and I were neighbors, I actually did pick her up in a bar, so... hmmmm... maybe I'll try something different. I'm certainly active, I get out a lot. I have hobbies. I'm certainly 'out there' as they say (nevermind the fact I'm not ready for anything serious yet, just rambling on here about the time when it will happen). Here we get right to it: online dating. Well, I'm old enough to think it's weird, and young enough to see it's appeal. So maybe a couple more months, and I'll try that out. Never done it before, not really excited, but who knows? What appeals to me is how pro-active it is. It's not like hunting meat at a bar, it's more like a job posting. Seriously, as in, here's my requirements, let's see your qualifications. It seems to get right to the nitty gritty. Ignore for a minute, that, anything with humans involved is going to have a bunch of weirdness included, agendas, untruth and the like. But at it's core, it's promise is basically, let's just get down to it. Cut through the fat, hopefully.

But the point of this rambling crap is the final thought I had, before coming over here to type this up. "I'm tired of being alone." I mean. Shit. I was married for about 4 years. I was with this girl for 6 years. And I'm tired of being alone. That's pretty telling.

Just so you know, I'm chuckling to myself.... hehehe

ps - kent, I think that's a steam vent, not really a lave flow or anything ;) :D
