Being dumped sucks, but I’m sure most people already know that.
I’ve been surprised how anxious Lady X not loving me has made me. However, it’s not so much about her, it’s about me. I’m anxious about never being loved. I supposed this is a normal fear after the collapse of a relationship and is ridiculous or is it?
Anyway, I don’t want to make this blog about…Shit, just heard that an earthquake has hit Indonesia, one of the countries Lady X is visiting on her vacation. She focused on Bali which is far to the east of the where the quake actually hit, a place called Pendang. Still, I don’t know her exact itinerary. I’ve tried to contact someone else who knows her to see if they know exactly where she was headed and when.
Just heard back, the mutual friend believes she isn’t in Indonesia yet. Good.
I was going to write about the beginning of this Fall’s Ultimate Frisbee season, but that will have to wait because I just got back from my second day of playing in a week and I need to shower.

SUUURRRRPPRRISSEEEE!!!
Last Thursday was Lady X’s birthday and I was pumped because I had gotten her a really kick ass gift. I had put a lot of thought and hard work into pulling it together and it had turned out even better than I expected.
Well, it turns out the gift was too good. Yes, too good. The day after giving it to her she broke my heart again. It seems that after getting the heartwarming gift she realized, yet again, that she wasn’t as vested in the relationship as me. Yet again, she told me I wasn’t the one and that she had “really tried to love me” but she just couldn’t make it happen.
This time she left little doubt that this was it, the end, the finale, the conclusion, the denouement. Her words and the fact that even as I post this she’s zooming across the Pacific Ocean to spend two weeks in Thailand with an ex-boyfriend lead me to believe that she’s probably right.
In reality I saw it coming. After 5 months of dating she never told me she loved me and she let it be know on numerous occasions that she had always pictured herself marrying rich. Add to that that her past boyfriends include doctors, lawyers, the great looking cop and politicians and her breaking up with a “great guy” like myself no longer seems like such a stretch.
The whole big bag of shit pretty much leaves me with that…shit. At 35, this isn’t a learning experience; I already know that women find good looking, successful men more attractive. It’s also not an invitation to better things, unless better things include alcoholism and Internet pornography.
Speaking of which…

Scum
First post in ages, but I swear I really have been busy. I took a business trip to San Diego and it totally put me behind both at work and at home.
Saw “District 9” with my Dad a week or so after it came out. Awesome! Definitely worth seeing on the big screen. Great story, superb acting, exciting, fresh and even moving. Very well done.
In other news, another scumbag politician was outed recently. Appears Republican Mike Duvall of Orange County was sharing the down and dirty of his sexual exploits during a committee hearing while his microphone was on. Oh, and they weren’t with his wife but two lobbyists. Oops! Like the Slick Willy-Monica Lewinsky fiasco there are some who still believe that cheating by elected officials is a private matter to be handled between the husband and the wife. I still disagree.
I’ll attempt to set aside my disgust for lecherous adulterers and their total lack of honor and respect so that I can make a sane argument as to why it’s important actions like this are publicized.
A cheating elected official does not just break trust with his spouse but also with his constituency. To get elected, he (I’ll use the masculine because I’ve yet to hear of a female politician doing this) knowingly presents voters with a fanciful façade of himself. Voters, liking what they see, vote him into office or in other words hire him to represent them in very, very important matters. The job he’s hired to do requires him to be honest, intelligent and honorable.
When he is found to be cheating on his wife it’s revealed that he’s lied on his resume and that he no longer meets the requirements for the job he was hired for. Hence he should be thrown out of office on his ass.
Look, I wouldn’t knowingly hire Bernie Madoff to invest my money, nor Michael Vick to watch my pets. I also wouldn’t hire a liar and a cheat to make political decisions concerning my best interests.
Anyway here’s a little Internet joy, Bat Fight starring Will Ferrell.
