• Vacation, life and love?

  You could use a long vacation – Magicbeanstalk

  It’s true. I could use a vacation, a week or two, forget my worries and
  enjoy my life somewhere warm, on a beach and just relax. My father is
  planing a trip to Austraila for a month this year.  In the past
  three years he’s been to New Zealand, Egypt, and now Austraila. 
  That’s something I could look forward too. At the age of 56, he’s been
  to more countries around the world. He’s successful, smart, great
  golfer and a great cook.

  At least I have maybe 2 outta those 4… The Golfer, and the cook… ok, ok, I’ll toss in smart as well

  But, success hasn’t found its way towards me yet.  I’ve been
  bouncing around in contract jobs to contract jobs these last five
  years. I think I have a solid job now… But, it’s the auto industry, I
  have no idea how long that will last…

  Vacation,
  I haven’t been on one since Nova Scotia last year… I guess you could
  count that weekend in the T.Dot as a mini-vacation, which was nice as
  well.. but my last serious vacation where I actually went somewhere was
  St. Martin in ’97 for two weeks. Now that was a beautiful area to sit
  and do nothing… Sun, sand, surf, nudist beaches filled with 50 year
  old German couples…. *shudder*, great if not amazing cuisine, alcohol
  was at 150% proof… Both Dutch and French boundries on the island,
  etc, etc…

  Life and Love;
  I went out with Dave and his brother Andrew for lunch about a week
  ago.  It was the best time that I’ve had with Dave since he got
  together with Jenn.  We went to our Jose’s (the one where we were
  nearly arrested, I think I’ve told you all about that story in one of
  my posts) He was joking around, Andrew was a clown as always and it
  truly reminded me of the good ol’ days. It was nice and put a smile on
  my face.

  Dave: So are you seeing anyone yet?
  Vx: You know you’re misses askes me the same question everytime we talk. I always ask if she has anyone in mind and she says no.
  Dave: well she’s no longer working at the restaurant
  Vx: She’s been asking me this question for the last 5 years that you
  two have been together. If I found someone, Dave, you’d be the first to
  know *smile*
  Andrew: Ya well she hasn’t done anything for me at all
  Vx: <really fake scottish accent> Ack! Me lad, ye do’nae need her
  help! For God’s sake, y’ere a <insert last name here>!
  Dave and Andrew laughed.

  It was a good time.

  Love,
  “If you stop looking, the right person will come along”, “It’s not you,
  it’s me”, “you’re just too short for me”, “You’re just a really good
  friend”

  I’ve heard these lines SO many times that I know when they are going to
  be said to me… call me a date-rejected telepath… I mean for me, I’m
  not looking for sex. If I can find one person, just one, that I can
  have a meaningful conversation with, enjoy their company than the
  physical aspect of sex, will eventually come along. It’s what I’ve
  always believed. Yet, I feel that I’m stuck in the stigma that everyone
  out there is a clone, whenever I go to the bars, all the women I see
  are all with guys that they can look up into their eyes, that have no
  hair on their bodies whatsoever and are all big muscled tools, for lack
  of a better word.

  So, I wait, maybe I should do the whole, blind date bit, or video
  dating thing just to spice things up… then again.. maybe not….

  Vx Out
