Last week was certainly an interesting one, lets see
I broke up with my girlfriend, got drunk the next night and had a rebound fuck (while I broke up with Kathleen, I wasnt happy about it), found out our phone was disconnected because my roommate didnt pay the bill, practiced w/my friends band to fill in vocals which is going to be totally kick ass since I havent been able to front a band in 4 years, played a show with MTX and had a blast, fought off further advances from the girl I messed around with, found out that my drummer got as well as some other friends of mine broke up with their girl/boyfriends this week too, then hung out w/Kathleen on Saturday at a bar with a bunch of our mutual friends.
At the bar, Kathleen and I probably only talked for 5 minutes. There was no way that is wasnt going to be not-awkward, but Im fairly certain that we can remain good friends. I really didnt want to break up with her, but it was something that had to be done. While I dont think of myself as being a needy person, affection is a need of mine when Im in a relationship. For whatever reason, she wasnt able to fulfill that need, and well, the result of that conflict was our breakup. When we broke up, she told me that she thought I was different, but this just proved I was like all other guys and that I was only interested in sex. While its true that I would have loved to have had sex with her, it wasnt a lack of sex that was burning me up inside, it was her rejection of me every time I tried to give her more than a pat on the back. She went on to say that her inability to be affectionate was the reason most guys in her past broke up with her. Um, do we see a pattern here? I didnt want to point that pattern out while we were talking because I felt bad that I was hurting her and if saying something hurtful towards me would make her feel a little better, than I was willing to take that one on the chin.
Before I started dating Kathleen, I wasnt that pressed to have a steady girlfriend. There certainly is a part of me that would love to have a real relationship with someone, but Im not really in any rush. If anything comes along, Ill be open to it, but Im not on the lookout.
In other newsit looks like the Democrats are going to nominate Kerry. While Id rather have Kerry in the White House than Bush, thats kind of like asking me whether Id rather have half or all of my public hairs ripped out with a pair of tweezers. Even though Im a libertarian, I see myself campaigning of Nader. We need to bring down the 2 party system. Its gotten us into this mess and it only leads us further into the void. The fact the only 40-50% of the eligible population of voters actually show up on Election Day is an indicator that half of this country is represented by none of our elected officials. Theyve made politics such a turn off to most of the country, that they are able to run the show with the support of only 25-30% eligible voters. Yikes!
