Blind date next Saturday! I'm really nervous. At least there will be two other couples there. What do I talk about?

My good friend's dog passed away today. She called me in pain and in tears. She had the little guy for fifteen years. I told her the usual, but I really wish I could have done more. No one should ever have to suffer like that! Don't you wish sometimes that you could absorb someone's pain? I called her back just now, but I think...

This made me cry. 
I gave all three of my pets the biggest hugs ever just now.

I got a nail in my tire for the second time in six months! Unbelievable! Poor little tire. I know exactly how it feels. Whenever I'm just moving along, doing my job, I get jabbed by something pointy that was meant to hold pieces of wood together. You know what I mean? It's a tough world. I need some candy.

Hi.
I could use a hug.

Have you ever felt like you didn't belong? I found this little snippet on the story, "The Ugly Duckling."
"The children declare that he is the most beautiful swan of them all, yet he is not proud, for a good heart is never proud. Because of all that he suffered he now appreciates his happiness so much more."
"Andersen was asked about whether he would...

I think the outside beauty thing is a metaphor for "being different" and the moral of the story is that difference is true beauty...
well, at least I hope that's the message or I'll have to chock the story up to another childhood disappointment (first the Runaway Pancake gets eaten in the end, then superficial propaganda hiding in duck stories: where will it end>??!!!)

I'm off for the next two weeks! Time to vegetate.
I almost didn't get all my presents out in time, but luckily my friend let me use her Amazon shipping thing.
Have a Merry Christmas, dammit!

happy birthday, by the way. 
Wow! I'm down to four friends now. I don't think I'm making the most of this site. At least the four people left are the best darn friends a guy could ever ask for.
I got pulled over by an officer today for my license plate lights. I recently changed them to white LEDs instead of the yellow bulb. They are the exact same ones...

good luck!
Insomnia is hitting me hard tonight. No rest for the wicked. I have to be up in 4 hours. It's probably best if I don't sleep.
I bowled a 56 tonight. I don't understand why I suck so bad. It's really frustrating. I want to stop, but I don't want to quit. I have never excelled at any sports. Bad hand-eye coordination?

I thought of you today.

It's completely true.
I was coming here to post that I had thought of you, before I even noticed you commented on my cookieness.

I finished all my Christmas shopping today! It's beginning to become a bit pricey. All my friends have at least two kids now! It's not fair! Maybe I should make up a kid of my own. What if a teenager popped into my life? The result of some tropical island fling I had many years ago? I bet I could get some pretty neat toys!...
