Okay, I'm back in the saddle again. As you may have noticed, I haven't really posted anything here in quite a while. The reasons for that are many and varied. I can now reveal a lot more of what has been going on than I could before.
The main reason that I haven't been posting is that I've been alone all of my adult life. Let me clarify that a bit. While I've been unattached for all of my adult life, I haven't really been lonely. I really haven't felt the need to shack up with somebody just to not be alone anymore. I hope this makes sense, I don't really feel like expanding upon this at this time.
Because of my being unattached for so long, I've become rather set in my ways. With no distractions of being aware of other people's feelings, wants, needs, and desires, I've been able to whet my decision-making abilities to a finely honed razor sharpness. And because of this, I've developed a good business sense, and by extension, a good sense of things in general.
So, how does my being alone for all of my adult life prevent me from posting? (Thought I forgot about the connection, didn't you? Well, fear not, I'm about to explain that.) At the beginning of this year, I took stock of my situation. I noted that, in terms of my business life, I have really come into the height of my powers. Sure, I have a lot further to go, because an education really never ends. But in terms of the basics and the execution of them, I think I can not really make much more of an improvement than where I am now. Everything else is just making the right decisions.
Since I am at this peak, I have naturally looked around for other areas to explore and tame. Well, I'm a remarkably good-looking man (I may be biased in that judgment though) with good morals and an above-average IQ (top 1% of the IQ population). For some reason, I have had a real problem finding somebody to match up favorably with me. Women seem to fall into one or the other camp of either being extremely hot but not so bright or being very bright but not physically attractive.
Thus, i've been on the hunt for Ms. Right. Which has turned out to be a rather exasperating hunt. So, do I lower my expectations and qualifications? If so, do I favor the physical over the mental and spiritual? Mental over physical and spiritual? Mental and spirtitual over the physical?
Bottom line is this: I have been spending more of my time being social in the past few months than I have been in the past decade or so. Have I gotten closer to meeting a girl, getting married and settling down?
Maybe.
On a completely unrelated note (so far as I am willing to say), I will be taking my last week of vacation starting next Thursday and going until at least the 14th of November. For the first time in my adult life (and the second time in my entire life), I'm going to leave the country. I will be flying to the Phiillippine Islands for a week of rest and relaxation. When I get back, I will let Lonnie start back on his weekly fiskings of Gene Lyons. His knives are sharpened and polished, and he's just chomping at the bit to carve into our pompous idiot MBW (Make Believe Writer).
Oh, yes, Lonnie is ready and willing to start talking about politics again, and I guess I am, too. This past year has been disatrous, and it will not get any better any time soon. And the only thing we have right now is poke fun and fact check those responsible. Lonnie's got a fisking of Gene's latest column all ready to go. I'm going to look it over and post it if/when I have the time.
Have a good day.
