And a wild guess that not many people found my last entry interesting, hence the 0 comments on it.
Do I seem phased? Never!
I don't think I've really written anything meaningful concerning my feelings lately because everytime I do, I hear more negativity than anything else. Cheers to not giving a fuck right now!
I'll admit, being single must be one of the great joys in life. No dealing with the animosity between the opposite sex that ALWAYS occurs, whether a guy "hates women (or girls)" or not. I love being single. But I miss having a girl. That special person who does the little extra things your friends can't. I swear the next time my search is over and I find someone who fits me beyond half-decency, I'll put the most effort into not taking her for granted. When you're young, you tend to think that good, girlfriend-quality girls grow on trees. Sadly, they don't, and it can take months, even years, to find someone who fills your qualifications. Then, of course, when you find that person, you fuck it up; usually, pretty badly, and you spend the rest of your months trying to earn her back because you know you fucked yourself over and blew a good thing.
If only life were so simple. Joelle told me the other day that, "To get girls, a guy has to be an asshole. Being an asshole is a good way to find girls, because girls are always looking to get hurt."
In some ways, I can see how right she was. In others, I'm sure there're exceptions to this rule, just like any other. Life is tough. I've had many girls fail to even return phone calls, and despite how incredibly discouraging it is and how attractive it seems to just forget about it, I keep plugging away. I keep hoping that soon my luck'll cash in, and all my hard work will be rewarded with someone who truly amazes me. Until then, I'll be content in knowing that I have two very trustworthy and respectful friends to share my days with.
Let's just all hope that they live longer than I do. as it seems to some people, I don't do very much good on a daily basis anymore. Nothing I can say will ever change their opinion about such either. It's a shame. But, like Bill Cosby says:
"I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody."
Maybe someday I'll be presented with an opportunity to do something memorable and special. Until then, I'll still be convinced in my thought that I'd rather be dead than forgotten.
