Yea it makes it hard to find friends or even female companions. Don't even think my cat likes me.

KO Bossy,

Very intriguing situation that really got me thinking. I guess the only way to respond is to relate my relationships with friends over the years. First of all, I know a lot of people and have met a whole bunch over the years; although, this is mostly through work since I encouter a lot of people every day. Over the years, I have very few individuals I would consider "friends." I have not had a group of friends since some kids I hung out with in Junior High. Most of the time, I have one close friend and a lot of acquaintances- mostly work acquaintances. My interactions with my friends, though, never really involved going out for a drink or to the movies. I'm just not that comfortable socially.

Over the years, my various friends and I have grown apart from each other for one reason or the other. There have never been any fallouts or arguments or anything that really caused the separation. It just seems to happen over time. I've often assumed it was just natural without ever really thinking about it. On top of that, ten years is a long time.

As to how you make new friends, that is really tough. I have really only met people through work. I don't really go out so I've met the people in my life through the neighborhood where I grew up and now through work. I even met my ex-wife and current girlfriend through work. I think the advice of getting involved with different groups is what you hear all the time but is still the best advice. As an example, Heroclix has opened me up to more new friends than I ever would have had otherwise. It is really my only activity, outside of work and some family activities, but has unintentionally opened doors.

Regardless, I would say that losing a friend after ten years would seem like what normally happens and is probably nobody's fault. Based on your earlier comment about his other "precious friends," you do really need to evaluate this relationship. It sounds like it is getting bitter and that may be a sign of the end.

Good luck man.

I'm friends with everybody here. Even Suga who calls me a dumbhead and makes my older brother hit me.

He didn't make me. He simply suggested it and I bowed to peer pressure.

I would have hit you back but I figured that your daughter should grow up with a father.

It is summer break and I am getting into a funk. 24 years old, single, no direction in life. I need something to do.

I saw Thor yesterday finally and I liked it more than I thought I would. The art style was kind of weird and ugly, but it was consistent in a way that was interesting. I guess I kept forgetting how different Marvel Comics Thor is from mythological Thor and it was distracting. Most of the casting was really good though and the special effects were well-implemented. On the commandercool score of movie rating from one to ten, one being the worst and ten being exceptional, I give Thor... AN EIGHT!

My summer break ends tonight. Summer classes start tomorrow.

Can't take summer classes this year. Think I am going in the wrong direction in school anyways

Not to detract from Wade's funk, but I just wnat to say how awesome it was that I found GL gravity feeds at a local Target today. TPChid and I now each have a full set of the GL figs! WOOT!

Just pick a direction and ####ing go.


This applies to everything in life. Everything.

You need to find a perfect fit.

Also None at the Target here, checked three times already :-/ will check again probably on wednesday. They do have these little packs with randomly inserted lego guys >.> pretty #####in

Chances are excellent that if you don't know why you're in school in the first place, more schooling is not going to give you the sense of direction you want.

Possibly...just too much that I do want to do...

You can't sit around and wait for perfection in everything, though. If you think that anything can be perfect, you will miss a lot of ALMOST PERFECT opportunities. Do you think that any HAPPILY married couple will tell you that the other person involved in their marriage is PERFECT? I can tell you without fear of retribution from Dngergrrl that she is not perfect. But it's okay, because she knows this. I also know that I am FAAAAAAAAAAR from perfect. Just like Get_1 said about picking a direction, this applies to EVERYTHING in life. There is nothing wrong with wanting the best, but you can't let life pass you by while you wait for "Perfect."
