The Pseudo Girlfriend

The Pseudo Girlfriend. The one who can’t call him her man, but he’s her boo. The one who isn‘t committed to him, but she passes up other chances and just waits. The one who does everything a girlfriend would AND should, but yet isn’t. The perfect scenario for a guy and the worst for a girl. He gets everything he wants and needs without having a title. And boy does that makes all the difference in the world. She gets just enough attention and just enough “act right” to make her wait for that title [if it ever comes]. He has everything she wants and she’s waited this long so why not keep waiting. She has everything he wants [physically] for the moment until he can find someone else to do the same things better. To her, he’s Mr. Right. To him, she’s Ms. Right Now. He enjoys his sexual freedom through lack of a title. She enjoys being a caged bird with the door wide open. Does this make sense? No. Well not good sense anyway. Yet, at times, some feel it’s better to make “bad” sense opposed to no sense at all. And oddly enough, that makes sense to me.

A is for Addiction

For some reason I can’t seem to shake you. I just can’t get rid of you. Just when I thought I could do this on my own. Out of sight out of mind. My 21 day cleanse was ALMOST done. On day 20, you came right back around. Am I addicted? Nah. I can let you go whenever I feel like it, but I just don’t feel like it. Wait. Is this really the case? Well, I have myself convinced for the moment. (See: Denial) But in reality I can’t resist the temptation. Not even on a good day. Something about you is just… I don’t know what it is. You aren’t the best looking. You aren’t the best lover. You don’t have the best personality. You don’t rank number 1 in any category. I think I know what you are though. You’re convenient. You’re the poor man’s cocaine. You are there when I need a fix. Satisfying yet temporary. Fun yet addictive. And yes. I think I’m addicted. There. I’ve admitted it. Now, what’s the next step in addiction recovery? I need to know before I reach the point of no return.

11 in 2011

It's February. 11 months left in 2011. So, lets make this year worth it and do something different with every month left. So, here’s my “11 in 2011”

• 1. Go snowskiing and/or waterskiing.
• 2. Get on a plane. One of my biggest fears. I need to conquer it.
• 3. Go to a hockey game.
• 4. Go wine tasting.
• 5. Make a drastic physical change to my appearance.
• 6. Visit a city I’ve never been to before.
• 7. Add color to my wardrobe. Everything I own is black!
• 8. Get my license to carry.
• 9. Visit the West Coast.
• 10. Take a family outing with my mom and grandparents.
• 11. Go fishing and fry the fish I catch.

I would encourage anyone and everyone to make a such list. Feel free to post your list in the comments section. It can be serious or it can be fun... Just do something you've never done!
