I've ranted before about certain people I know from college. I've ranted mainly about some females that I could never get my head around. They were the ones that would avoid people. Well, the other day one of them came out and told me simply that since I'm no longer at UW, they no longer consider me a friend. She said it's simply takes too much effort to reach out to anyone not immediately available when it's convenient for her, so I've been cut loose. Not really too surprising. The other female hasn't spoken to me in a year so I saw this one coming. I had a small group of people here in Cheyenne that I hung with, but they too have ended up telling me that I'm not wanted around. Another guy that I've been life long friends with that lives here in Cheyenne found a girl. We had been hanging out quite a bit since he works at the local Department of Transportation. Then he started dating a girl and immediately decided the friendship isn't worth more than the girl. He told me that the girl should always come before a friendship of any kind. Even if it's been a lifelong friendship. So that chapter has closed. I must give off weird vibes that repel people. But, what do you do. Gotta push through. Guess I'll have to try to make some new friends.
All this has at least helped me realize there need to be some changes made in my life. Namely, no longer will I be wasting time on those that don't seem to put any effort into anything. This goes for life in general, really.
What's funny about all of this is that I've grown consistently happier. After all the shitty relationships I've endured, all the girls that cheated one me, and all the hurting that occured, I've been able to realize that being single right now is far more preferrable than dating a girl only to have some better looking guy come along. Granted, I am by no means saying there aren't any decent people out there. Instead I'm a lot bolder in my theory that there simply aren't many girls my age that want to be serious with a guy. Most people my age want to be able to date multiple people and fool around. Me personally, I'm not into it. I'm looking for something a little more serious and meaningful than some month long fling. Right now I think dating would be a monumental waste of time. Nor would I probably trust that it would be genuine anyway. Most of humanity is simply always looking for the better opportunity so they can jump aboard. In this case, the better opportunity consists of better looking people. Humanity gets more shallow by the day.
My life has grown comfortably consistent, more so by the day. I wake up, go to work for ten hours, come home and change, head to the gym, come home and shower, then go to sleep. On my days off I spend time with the family and work out during the nights. I find time to play some videogames, but I haven't really been gaming too much lately. I'm more focused on the fitness thing. I'm looking into getting a puppy this spring, so I look forward to raising a little terror around the house.
Job is going well. Our airline is expanding further east so despite the shitty economy we're doing quite well. Other than that there's not much else happening. I've been pumping the iron at the gym like crazy and I'm addicted to it.
Looking forward to Thanksgiving. Good food, good beer, good people, good times. I think Friday I'll be lifting again then going for a nice three mile run. Gotta love it.
