So I know I should keep my chin up,just keep swimming,look on the bright side......all those happy thoughts.........well when you feel like a pile of chum in a shark tank it gets a little tough.I guess the main thing that really gets me down is that really,for the most part........Of the number of people I know in Florida who on a given day would call up and say "Hay,what cha doing,want to meet at a park or something".......I can count on one finger........I know a few others but they have never,that I can think of,ever called to ask if I wanted to meet up with them........no surprise really........So that's why I was so happy to have a new friend....someone else to be able to hang out with.....if it grew from there,that would have been nice but really just another friend was all I was looking for...............

On some rare occasions I'm woke up from a dream but this time it was kind of scary...well for me at least and really...I wouldn't call it enlightening,just another reason for Zippy to live up to his Pin Head name.

The dream was interesting as that it was set in the workplace,but there were people from all over my past,some from high school,coworkers from jobs I had many years ago,some from the job I have now,and even a few complete strangers..........Anyways........I had hit it off with a coworker....which in it self is a no-no in my book for too many reasons but that's another story all together.............Anyways........we were talking about about how it was nice to have finally had a date after playing the "Q and A" game back and forth between each other and were in the process of walking across a field...........the back football field from High School non the less......when we were approached by 2 guys.........1 from high school,one from the first job I had flipping burgers at the castle.......and I can't think that ever in my life that I can remember they were ever around me at the same time but in this dream they were............I was telling them that now was not a good time to bother us and they got the picture,in the mean time she had moved a little ways ahead of us.........That's when I made the comment to them "It's Plausible Deni ability"(sounds like a Republican Scapegoat phrase to me)............"I'll try is once,see how it goes,and if it works we'll move on from there"........at that point she starting running....I caught up to her and she had tears running down her face...she was pissed,and hurt too......She smacked me on the forehead and said "Zippy,you really do have Foot in mouth disease don't you........You just don't think sometimes what you're saying before it comes out of your mouth.........You're a warm wonderful guy that any lady would be more then happy to be around but there are times that you just don't think........If it's not a statement with a sexual innuendo attached to it,it's a smart ass comment or just a plain stupid statement"........

That's when I woke up.........and for the most part she's right...........I did it the other day with Alice and she called me on it...........She knew,from knowing me,that it was just a plain stupid statement on my part that I had made and that I just didn't think before it came out of my mouth but by saying it I could have been crapping a Reebok because my foot was so far in my mouth.


And she's right.........far too often I don't think about my actions before I make them.......maybe that's why I truly enjoy the life of the mouse I lead sometimes............

Pathetic Loser

Although I haven't looked.....I'm guessing if you googled "Pathetic Loser" it would bring you a link to here.........or to a wikipedia page that would have my mug on it..........Just a feeling I have.Never a dull moment in the life of the mouse.Guess that's why I measure my self esteem in negative numbers.

So...........Friday night I sent off an email saying how I had a nice time and that I hoped they did too,and that I was looking forward to maybe going out again..........she had a friend in town so I wasn't surprised when I didn't get a return.Wednesday I called and we talked for a few minutes and she said she had to put the phone down for a sec.......I held of a couple minuets and she never came back...........I haven't called back yet for a follow up on the last time but still........I just have to start the swing that it's just a mater of time before I get the "Just Friends" which I guess in a sense is really what I would like to start at anyways..................

And Ya....I know......God.....does he ever stop whinning......Fuck No.....Why do that....

Round 2...........Three's a croud

Well............The second Date has come and gone and I think it went Great IMO..........She has a friend in from out of town so we met up at Downtown Disney.....they hadn't been there in a while and I wanted them to come to my end of town..........We ate at the Rainforest.....Great food,plenty of it and we even had a Volcano....that's their signature Desert and it's Hugh....3 people can't finish it...well we may have been able to but we wouldn't have been able to move afterwords.........Really noneventful other then the peck on the lips when we were saying Good By Bet you can guess what color I was when I kissed her. Her friend took our picture so once I get that I'll just have to post it I'm sure..........No plans as yet for round 3 but I'm sure by the end of the weekend we'll have something planned.........so keep checking back and I'm sure I'll mention it someplace other then here......thanks for the kind suport and keep the suggestions coming........

Blind leading the Blind

So........Friday night I left home way early,one,because I wasn't sure how far it was and didn't know what traffic would be like,two.....because I hate to be late for anything...I would rather be 20 minutes early then even 1 minute late.......for anything..

anyways,I show up about a half hour early so I get a seat at the bar and order a drink to take the edge off and to kill time.that's about 5:30 or so and the Date is for 6........at 6 I figure OK...so she's late........6:15 and I start to wonder.......by 6:30 I figure....well.....stood up....figures.......And I decide to step outside to have a smoke and to check my email from my phone.........well she had sent me an email saying she had tried calling twice but I never called her back........well I call her back and find out that the number she had was the wrong number so that explains why I never called her back........so we decide to try again tonight.

Same time,same place.............

Well,once again I was early.........no surprise there really......same thing...I sit at the bar for a cocktail to take the edge off......at 6 I step outside to give her a call and there she is.....She said she had been waiting a few minutes so there we are............Since it was a "First Date" I didn't have to worry that much about the "Art of Small Talk".

Everything went well.....I guess......we talked and had a nice meal.........and plan on doing something again next weekend too.....................so there you have it.......the world didn't end...at least I don't think so.....I didn't go straight to hell....well not yet......I don't think I turned into a pile of stupid.......well not a big one at least...............and yes,I was the gentleman and picked up the check........no Dutch for me...not on the first date at least

There ya have it...that's the story and I'm stickin' to it............
