Day five, and in my stoned-outed-ness last night, I hit on a few decent ideas. I guess that sometime in the hopefully nearer future, I'm going to need to get busy seriously writing again on my "project." I've been finding of late that in my blog, my focus gets just a little bit too broad for my own good sometimes, and I need to narrow it a little bit.
I just did a blog on both pages ...but as dizzydude, at least I can offer documentation. I guess we'll see if I manage to stir up any hornets at the other site; it might be fun!
update: I took down the blog on AFF and wrote another that I also crossposted here ...the "not being able to provide links" just aggravated me a little too much; that, and I really would rather just stick to humor there.
So online dating: Should I tackle my favorite place, or just the concept in general?!
I think in all of my meandering experiences, the one thing that I have gleaned is that without question:
People really don't know what in the fuck they want.
I read profiles all day long and it always is generally pretty glaringly obvious who's new and who isn't. There are jokes everywhere about long walks on the beach at sunset ...and then there are the first timers who really think it sounds romantic unknowing that it is one of the most overused cliches in online profiles. Even the ones who have been around for a while still manage to fall into that old "I love to laugh" business. In all my years on the net, I have never ONCE seen someone say they HATE laughing (I have, however, seen a few pictures of gals who look like their face might break if they DID laugh though).
I can understand the whole "sense of humor" thing being mandatory to an extent though. I have a frickin' goofy sense of humor, and if a gal doesn't like a little bit of goofiness, then it can save us both time for me to mention it. My brothers second wife didn't really have a sense of humor; I remember him reading her the Sunday funny papers and having to explain why they were funny. Christ on a crutch ...I really don't think I could handle being with someone that slow on the "sense of humor" front, so I guess it can't hurt to mention it off the bat. Of course in a case like my ex sis-in-law ...I don't think she was sharp enough for online dating anyway.
So today is the frantic fifth day without a cigarette. FUCK ...the withdrawls are finally starting to settle down a bit, but now it would appear those frickin' cravings are just getting started. Not that the cravings weren't always there, but now they are being more pronounced because apparently my body is no longer in a state of fucking shock from the absence of nicotine! I think this is certainly going to be day #1 without the "dope to cope" though.
Both of my brothers have called me today to check up on me; one to ask about the smoking, the other just an "in general" call. I LOVE how both of my brothers can manage to be supportive of me without sounding condescending; I kinda wish my sister could pick up on that, but it isn't as though she does it on purpose... *sigh*
So tomorrow begins again with dad-sitting, and I'm almost ready for bed. I had a decent day; and no drugs at all, not even my dizziness stuff (which I probably should have been taking, but geez). So tomorrow will be sixth-day something or other... sigh!
I'm thinking maybe Friday I can come out of the closet on AFF about the smoking thing... we'll see how I feel then, but for now I think it's time the goober and I hit the sack!
