Better come back maybe next week.

did you try try try?

It's actually fairly simple for me:

I want to be with someone who is with me, because they want to be with me.

The trick about that is, that lots of people want someone to fill a collection of roles, or to perform a collections of tasks for them. Then they marry or otherwise link up with someone, and find out they really don't like the complete person enough.

That's why I try to be open about my defects, rather than "on my best behavior" with potential mates. If something about me is going to put someone off, I'd like that to be easy for them to see before we invest so much that a great emotional mess occurs that has to be cleaned up.

Oh, and that means that I have no interest in anyone, no matter how attractive, who sees relationships as temporary experiences, like carnival rides. That current day fad notion that a good relationship lasts a year or two and then both people cheerfully move on, is about as empty and unappealing as it gets.

I don't smoke pot.

But, ya know that feelin' you get?
That wave that rushes from your forehead
down the back of your neck, when you take
that first good hit, off a really good joint?

Yeah... That's how i feel right now.


Must be coming down with a cold.
