Now this<\/a> … is a good use of technology.<\/p>\n However, in the past, I’ve had my escape call placed the old-fashioned way …<\/p>\n By Shaft,<\/p>\n Plus, it didn’t cost me a thing,<\/p>\n And he was just as reliable.<\/p>\n I know, you’re surprised Mr. A.D.D. himself can remember to place an irradically scheduled emergency call that you tell him of several days in advance. But he honestly can, I still haven’t figured out how or why. Heck … he’ll go to the rest room three times in a row because he gets distracted on his way back to the office and forgets he’s already went … but when it comes to emergency calls … he’s dead-on reliable. I figure it’s just some Rainman-like fluky trait of his.<\/p>\n (For what it’s worth, Cingular’s rescue call seems way overpriced … seriously, $4.99\/month ! Gimme a break. Virgin’s 25 cent\/call seems much more reasonable. You’d need 20 first dates in a month for the Virgin plan to cost the same as the Cingular plan. And seriously, if you have 20 first dates in a month … you’re just not that picky to begin with and I can’t imagine you’d even want an emergency call.)<\/p>\n Two<\/b><\/p>\n I am totally into Howie Day<\/a>. (Despite the fact that he shares the same first name as a guy Miss Daisy picked up and made out with in the parking lot one night at bowling. Wow … now that was a classic UnUsual Suspect night<\/a> !) If you ever get a chance to see him live (I’m referring to Howie Day, but now that I mention it, if you ever get to see Miss Daisy live, you should take advantage of that too) … for the love of gawd … go !!!!! He’s great !!! So phreaking talented and way kute … kinda reminds me of the Cute Guy God <\/a>character in JOA<\/a>. He’s got a great stage presence and stunning voice. A lot of his songs have a pure accoustical flare … even when he’s strumming his guitar. His covers are fantastic and a blast … he always laughs when doing Toto’s Africa at the part … “As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serangetti<\/i>“, I mean, come on … that is a funny line !!! What was Toto thinking? His version of Slide is better than the Goo Goo Dolls version, my version, and even Hottie’s version (though for the record, I don’t like Howie’s version of Brown Eyed Girl, nobody does Brown Eyed Girl like Hottie !) But it’s not just his covers that are special … his own work is addictive. I’m currently overplaying Collide<\/i> … give it a listen (Windows Media Player sample<\/a>, Real Player sample<\/a>). Seriously, if you get a chance to see him … GO !!! And if you have an extra ticket … let me know. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n Three<\/b><\/p>\n I sign up on dating websites here and there, not to actually date anyone … but to see what it’s like in the on-line dating scene and what sort of people are there.<\/p>\n Actually hooking up with someone met on-line is something that really doesn’t work for me right now …<\/p>\n It’s just much easier for me to take batting practice with boys I meet in real life.<\/p>\n But still …<\/p>\n I do take the time to fill out these prolonged questionaires on most of these sites, answering all sorts of detailed and odd questions, checking off little boxes with assorted like\/dislike promps,<\/p>\n And this is what I’ve learned:<\/p>\n A.) Even though there are a lot of guys out there on these sites, a couple of times I’ve been “matched” up with guys I actually know in real life who I probably wouldn’t even milk for a free Coors Light, let alone date. Makes me question the personality matching process.<\/p>\n B.) All sites seem to match me up with guys that have very similar personality profiles as me. I’m not sure that’s good. I think there needs to be a commonality in core personal values … things like family, integrity, loyalty … but I think personalities should differ some … otherwise isn’t it like just adding more of the same seasoning to the being? How do you grow as a person if you’re just adding more of the same thing? How I ask !! \ud83d\ude42 Anyways, again, makes me question the personality matching process.<\/p>\n C.) If you ever check Skinny Dipping<\/i> on the list of Likes … you’ll find yourself getting inundated with matches for overweight, out of shape, One Now this … is a good use of technology. However, in the past, I’ve had my escape call placed the old-fashioned way … By Shaft, Plus, it didn’t cost me a thing, And he was just as reliable.

After the proposed match with a pig pharmer (honest to gawd, I didn’t even know there was a pig farm in a 20 mile radius of my zip code), I’m reluctant to even shower in the nude anymore, let alone Skinny Dip. Obviously, I no longer like Skinny Dipping. And once again, have questions with the personality matching process.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
