Falling Apart

Thanks Kate! Already done wrapping. I'll defenitly be taking photos.
Rebirth, I wouldn't say it isn't working out. Just no one on there that really grabs my attention. Plus the whole concept is foregin to me. It's like some weird catalog where you look at photos and read about what they're into. How are you really supposed to get an idea about a person that way? Well you get a slight idea but still.
Plus I'm a odd ball. I know that, always have been always will be. Even though I guess I'm good looking I'm not exactly every girls dream guy. Like I said the only people that were like me were out of state. Everyone here is into the same things, country music and football. Ughh no thanks. Not that I care that they like that stuff but when thats the first things 98% of the people put on their profile....I don't know. Maybe they think thats what their knight in shining armor is into.

Plus really who am I to judge? Look at me...I'm 37,I have over 70 tattoos, listen to punk rock, still skateboard, am on anti depressents, a recovering alcoholic and I have a wonderful son. LOL Thats what I should have put as my profile!!!!

I had the same problem while looking at people's profiles. Most of them said the same thing.Not very original. I like a mixture of looks, and great personality.Someone who is not afraid of work,who likes to travel, has interests in more than just football and women. Someone who thinks alot.. The ones I really liked were too far to meet also. Its kindof sad that most people dont really try to make the effort to really be themselves. Too preoccupied to be part of the gang I suppose

My internet dating was a disaster to tell the truth. I got drunk on most of the dates. Disgusting

No I didn't think you were but you're right it seems like most people put what they think others want to hear. That or everybody but me is into the same things. Which is possible. My counsler has said to me so many times that she can't believe I have self esteem issues. She tells me that I've gone against the grain and didn't change for anyone for nearly half my life. She said that takes alot of inner strength to not just go with the flow. I don't know, I'm just being me. I don't think I'm going to go on any dates from this. I has just looking to see who is out there.

You know what else I noticed is that almost all of them are so career driven. Which is great for them, but its also the reason they are on the dating site. They are so busy that they don't have time to meet people. I'm not going into this again since I've done it before. Trust me money is great, a necessary evil in our world. But I'm not the type to put that as my top priority in life. I make enough to pay my bills and still have some left over. I'm happy with that. Others aren't.

Excerpt from the book Awareness by Anthony De Mello

A man found an eagle's egg and put it in a nest of a barnyard hen. The eaglet hatched with the brood of chicks and grew up with them.
All his life the eagle did what the barnyard chicks did, thinking he was a barnyard chicken. He scratched the earth for worms and insects. He clucked and cackled. And he would thrash his wings and fly a few feet into the air.
Years passed and the eagle grew very old. One day he saw a magnificent bird above him in the cloudless sky. It glided in graceful majesty among the powerful wind currents, with scarcely a beat of its strong golden wings.
The old eagle looked up in awe. "Who's that?" he asked.
"That's the eagle, the king of the birds," said his neighbor. "He belongs to the sky. We belong to the earth we're chickens." So the eagle lived and died a chicken, for that's what he thought he was.

Just read that in one of the threads. Find it really thought provoking.
What time is it at your end?

I feel the same about money. I have enough for my needs but I am not obsessed by it. Some women only live for money. Not me. I am not that stupid. I can stay in a five star hotel or camp in the wild. they both appeal to me.

Nothing beats sharing great times with someone. Laughing and feeling good with that person. money cant buy that.

Hey Guys,

Just popping in to say Hello after a long day at work. I like the eagle story too Rebirth, but its rather sad. I think the moral of the story is that we set limitations on ourselves according to what others tell us. Although, I dont see that in us. I see us as having unlimited potential actually .

Love ya guys, and hope your all doing good!

Hey Sk8,

Was reading you were checking out the online dating thing. The website I used for a while was PlentyofFish.com. That website is totally free, and its a pretty good one. I had several dates off of it. You can narrow your search to your area.

I am currently on Match.com and have met somebody I am dating. Hes a great guy so far, but who the Hell knows. You have to pay for Match, so I allowed myself to pay for one month, but no more. I refuse to spend alot of money on dating.

Ill be honest Sk8, I dont think you will be pleased with the internet dating thing, but who knows. I've had lots of bad luck with a little bit of good luck thrown in. Of course after all these years, I am pretty happy to have had 3 dates with somebody, so who knows!!!


Check out Plenty of Fish if you want. At least its free!!

Hey Over, yeah so far its not really my thing. To be honest I've text or IM'd with two girls. One out of state and the other across the state and both seemed a little "off". Don't get me wrong both where very nice and interresting but seemed a little to eager. LOL. Still it is nice to talk to and meet new people. Still perfer the old fashioned way of meeting people. But I'm a suspicious person by nature.I'm not trying to rush into anything if things are meant to happen they will where ever I meet someone.
Well of to get Aaron. Today is his unoffical bday party since his actual bday is wednsday.
