My Wait for the Several

death cab for cutie's tour bus, outside the disco rodeo. raleigh, nc

I was thinking about everyone asking Jamie how her wait for the "ONE" is going, and how that bothers her a bit, and I realized that no one has ever asked me that. Instead I have to endure this, "so how many ladies are you juggling this week?", or some variation on that. This is always accompanied by the obligatory elbow nudge and wink. And I pretend to count on my fingers and lose track, all the while feeling like a complete idiot. So, then I quickly make myself scarce. Old people are puzzling to say the least, they feel the need to talk to me, to relate to me so they choose that. Mainly, I think, because they're too tired to think of anything else. So of course I go away thinking of the actual number of girls I'm juggling this week and for some reason wish it were one more. But then again patience something I've never learned.

Do you ever wish you could cut and paste different parts of your life, keep some, copy some, get rid of others? If I could I would probably ruin my life.

From now on I'm going to try and make this more of a photo blog, because that's what I like and it's less writing.

A Perfect End to a Perfect Weekend

I don't think i could ask for or expect a better life than I have, not in this world at least. So, I won't complain about the things I want to complain about. I'll just do my work and serve my time until next weekend reminds me of how wonderful this life is. Thank you to all my amazing friends who make my life so wonderful. I'll see you soon.
