I can think of 1000 resolutions I can make!!..But only a few I will follow!!

Quit smoking is always #1...It makes for the worst singing voice at times....and singing and coughing just do not make a pretty song!!!
But I am trying!!

I never keep promises to myself very well...Is just easier to keep them to everyone else.

I guess I will just have to say my resolution for this year is to Sing!!..Sing!!..Sing!!
and have just way too much fun doing it!!!

I'm Not Dead yet...... But every day Im getting Closer !

I need to make some posts, and this looks fun, but......

I'm not EVEN gonna get in on that marriage discussion, nobody- and I do mean NOBODY wants to hear my views on marriage, or men in general for that matter.

My new years resolution, hmmmm, too many to list individually. So, to just "sum it up"...... my resolution is to start living for ME....... and ONLY me.  Which involves changing many things- bad habits, bad people, bad song choices (hahaha, had to throw that in there too), staying out of bad environments and basically learning to say "kiss my @$$, I'm gonna do it anyhow, cause I want to".

Happy New Year everyone....... hope you all can make your new years resolutions work for ya.

well MY resolution is kinda cheesey n corny, but I'll tell ya anyways:

I plan on really getting to know my friends.... and letting them get to know me. I've never been the type to have a reeeeally close girlfriend and tell her EVERYTHING... y'know... all that girlie emotional stuff that makes 'em so close. It's time I let my guard down and show ppl the real me, I think

Just a couple days ago, I was feelin like pure crap cuz someone hurt ma feelers, and one of my ooooooold friends from WAY back called me up just outta the blue.... she knew INSTANTLY that sumpn' was wrong so we got all deep n emotional and talked about it.... then SHE opened up about all the stuff that was goin' on with her.... and by the time we were finished talkin 3 hours had gone by!! We got closer in 3 hours than we had in 15 years!

anyways..... there's my resolution. To really get to know my friends rather than just know them as aquaintences.
funny how friendships and family seem So much more important when ya grow up n get married! hehe!

OK.... Mushy stuff over now!  :D

_________________

Crystal, that's not corny OR too mushy. Everyone should have close friends.  I kinda am the same way, but for maybe different reasons than you. I really don't have any close personal friends, not since I "grew up" (sshhhh...... YES, I AM grown up, ).  And once in a while it would be nice to have a real true friend to yack to when you need someone. Not a family member....... just a friend.  I too have almost completely forgotten what it's even like to have a g/f to share girl stuff with.

I had one growing up, we were literally unseperable, until I moved away at age 14........ then when I ran into her again a few years back, we were two completely different people than we were as kids. She's not even really someone I'd hang out with now..... don't know which of us changed our views of life so much- heck, maybe me. But we could never be close friends like we were, she's just not my type of friend anymore.  I did meet a girl at karaoke who's pretty fun to hang out with, she can be as big of an idiot as I can, , (you should see the pics from a few weeks ago) and having met at karaoke, we have common interests. May have to just go out shopping- or some dang girlie something like that- with her someday.  OR.......heck, maybe she likes fly fishing too!! haha, I'll have ta ask her.

Anyhow, I'm truly leaving now.

Sounds like drama time to me

You gals are different............

Us guys will go fishing together.....and while we are out there, we might mention a thang or two that's on our minds.... Just as long as it don't disrupt the fishing and beer drinking and napping tween bites.....Then the other guy might offer a little advise-he might grunt-he might nod his head-or he might ignore what you said....Usually he will just look blankly at you for a minute, and then go back to fishing and drinking beer and talking about the weather or whatever....And that's ok, cause you said it and got it off your mind and he politely ignored it.

You see, we just don't do drama well....We can get drama off the TV should we ever need it.

When it comes time to discuss women, we talk about them like we would our fishing reels or our guns and horses....We compare them and describe how well they function and perform....And discuss their flaws maybe, and why we might chose one or the other like we do our other stuff.

Oh shush Keith, we "real men" are no different than the ladies, and DO SO speak our mind's and hearts  <giggle>

Rather than "Barbie" doll's, we just collect Ken and GI Joe dolls, but DO WE EVER have our feminine side. With heart's the size of a Suzie Homemaker deluxe kitchen may I add  :whistle:  (blush) <Oy, do we ever have our day's too, I can almost feel the bloating>

I'm SO SO blushing right now

Anyway, toodles  <tail-waggle>

Yeah, I miss her, but I'm afraid she will end up under my feet and complicate my life with drama and all that stuff that goes with having a steady woman...Anymore, I just don't have time for all that.

I guess a perfect world for me would be where we each had our own lives and interests and kinda bumped into each other around the house whenever our schedule allowed it....And then once we aged and slowed down we could spend more time together......Heh, heh-it sounds like I want a cute young thing around who will be available for me when convenient, then stick around for the slow dance of life that comes later....I guess I do at that.

We'll see......She and I have been divorced 4-5 years....Maybe she has changed like I have....

This last few years, every few months, she would come for a quick visit and then vanish again....I never took time to gauge where she was with the drama/jealousy thing cause I figured she was still the same....I would just treat her like a date and then let her afterwards go with no questions or demands....Kinda like how a butterfly drifts in the breeze-you let them land in your open hand and then fly off without ever attempting to trap them.....It's nice while it lasts.....Plenty of butterflys out there, but for some reason, you catch yourself watching for that particular one to return and open your hand only for her.

I've been married or involved several times since her....I never cheated with anyone but her....She stole me many times from other girls and my third wife....Anytime she called, I would drop whatever and find a way to see her....Then she would vanish again....She has been like an old habit that is hard to break.

Perfect for you ?    Sounds as if you've just described what a relationship SHOULD in fact be.  Two people together, yet having THEIR individual lives and interest's too. If a mate just impedes you from doing the things you love there is no sense in having a mate IMHO...Sure there's some give and take... Yet if a relationship becomes a prison sentence, of course living alone is the preference.. You CAN and SHOULD have thing's your way,  assuming having them your way can include her interests, and identity coexisting under the same roof, by just making a few tolerable compromises...sounds like that's what a healthy relationship is...Anything else one of the two partners (if not both) will snap from bending over too far to try to accomodate a person they end up resenting..  Yeah,  people grow together, and can grow apart.... thing is, you have to have common interests, besides squeeking beds, and mental health workers... (well ideally at least  )

Weirdest part, is that in so many relationships, I was just basically attached to the girls "shell",  I suppose I was blind and in essence infatuated with a manikken,  :( ..
Got to the point I wished things were simple,  I suppose they would've been if what I was projecting, was projected onto an inflatable mate.. I say this seriously, because for some reason, it CAN be tough to realize that attractive members of the opposite sex, just happen to be people with their own demon's, needs, and idiosynchracies as well... During the hunting days (in the 70's) how many men looked at women as objects for their own gratification ?    That's NOT an easy mindset to break btw.....From hedonism (womanizing) to wanting a friend to love. How can the needs of each partner get met, given one or two individuals selfish wants ?  Sometimes being alone IS the better option.

I understand what you are saying....

I am not hedonistic in the least....I don't need more than just one...But that ONE needs a few optional features....Tatts and a playful attitude go along way with me in that regard.

But when not with "THE ONE", I am a dog that digs under the fence and is out sniffing everywhere.

I would just as soon stay home with "THE ONE" if she exists.

If I'm to be honest Keith.  The "one" couldn't have existed for me when I was in my 30's.  Once I got used to her, the excitement and sexual attraction was gone..It didn't take much unfortuneately to kill it, often just the realization that there was more "out there" and the greener grass appeared less burdoned with encumbrances.
Not sure what "settling" means for some.  Is it the recognition that we are getting old, less attractive, falling apart, and don't want to rot alone ?  0r as if to admit to ourselves,  "I can't do any better, I'm old, what I like out there won't look at me, perhaps I'll throw in the towel and marry you",  we can lie in bed together and waist away....


I think this to myself Keith,  not talking about you are anyone else... Strip away fantasy and romance, and assume a person doesn't want kids...I can't imagine what a relationship is for some people,  perhaps a sheep in the stable of life

SOrry,  there's my gallow's humor... Yeah, what I typed is hardly "romantic", yet screw romantic..... That's not the real relationship, that's fantasy IMHO....

I haven't a clue Keith,  I just watch what goes on around me, and say to myself;

"dang,  glad that's not me suffering this time,  I learned...this is the lesser of the two evils".

I just don't know. How realistic, and how deluded must we be to live a healthy life ?

Ok, so you are a guy who likes no fences, and I am one who will dig under the fence when he gets lonely.....

Hey, maybe I'll see you when we are out sniffing the hood....There has to be an advantage when hunting in a pack.

If nothing else, we can compare notes on select prey.

I live out past the edge of town where it's quiet....All I hear is the highway.....We can crank our music as loud as we want.

Did you read the description,  Is this real ?

"For pickup only, Lugoff S. Carolina" ?     I need to see if there is a "lugoff", seeing it's a full music studio that's quite abit to "lugoff"..  if not this seller is obviously a musician with a quirky SOH

,  I suppose my point is I don't want to hunt anymore... Give me hunting equip, and I end up shooting myself in the foot.  I think for ME to be happy, I need to rid myself of all the garbage we pickup in our culture, and not even look at the book cover anymore... Assuming the person is female, has a big heart, and truly loves me....SHOULD the other stuff matter ?  Seems the answer is easy,  but who do I sue for never showing me that's the way things really are ?  Another reason, TV, Hollywood, and all the other stuff get's me tinkled....

Hunting was fine as long as I didn't allow myself to ever consider the hunted has emotions, as do I....Unfortuneately I'd end up home with two strangers, and still have to drive back home the next day with a foot full of bullet holes on the gas pedal, and a stranger in the car.


,  anyway....don't mean to act like such a prissy agitated wench...  I just get like this mid-cycle.  It's hormonal





No,  I recognise just how necessary fences are.  Without them she'll escape,  If I dig out, not only might I break a nail, but when I return back, I have to contend with my conscience... If I love somebody, I can't hurt them,  and I found it to be true that If I cheat on someone, that's when I really create a distance... I can't get too close again, It does have a strange way of coming back at me in the form of inability to trust others, self contempt, not feeling I deserve the person during the really great times, etc... It's too painful....  (Have I stated that in the past 5 minutes) .    That stuff seemed to work during the one-nighter days.... I've softened upstairs....  Alot more mush up there.


For lack of sage, I leave you with  "Emotions are a pain in the @$$"..... (I know, poetry in the making   )


ADDED IN:
Hey Keith,  I just read my content, and I've got myself bummed out... I think my resolution will be to start smoking and drinking again,  You know anything about "The Patch" ?  What's a good starter's strength ?  My lungs can't take much smoke quite yet

Wheeew!! I can't believe I took the time to read the rest of this post just to make one more comment.
But atleast I got to observe several more views and opinions on love and relationships that I wouldn't have otherwise.
Now I'm starting to feel corny about being so emotional to begin with.....it's not typically a guy thing, but I've learned over the years that you just can't repress everything that's eatin' at ya or you'll end up with an anxiety disorder or worse, dead.
I don't totally play into the "man has to be strong, cold-played, and unphased by trivial life events"....that could be why a man's life expectancy is shorter than a woman's, we're all dying from stress, but apparently not me.
Something Steve and Keith said caught my attention..........
Sounds as if you've just described what a relationship SHOULD in fact be.  Two people together, yet having THEIR individual lives and interest's too. If a mate just impedes you from doing the things you love there is no sense in having a mate IMHO...Sure there's some give and take... Yet if a relationship becomes a prison sentence, of course living alone is the preference.. You CAN and SHOULD have thing's your way,  
BRAVO!
That's the key to a happy union IMO.
So now I'm leaning on the fence again.
But it's okay, if I'm so much of a sucker to live unhappily because I'm so needy and other women don't notice me as a potential sex god, I deserve everything I get....or don't get.
I know one thing for sure, I LOVE THIS PLACE!!
I haven't been anywhere else on the web where people can talk about anything in a mature and tolerable manner without being exposed to ridicule or BS(outside of normal humor).
Hope everyone has learned a little bit here...I sure have.  :)
