Today's topic "Ranting and Ravings of a Sane Person." Pretty damn boring if you ask me!

Originally this posted started as an "I hate the holidays." bitch fest. Ehh...nobody wants to hear that shit from me...hell nobody wants to hear any shit from me, I know I wouldn't. Anyway actually what I'm getting off my chest today is a bit of the same old shit I guess. Have you ever noticed how easy it is for technology to take the human element out of every thing? I'm talking about everything from conversations to dating.

I personally hate talking on the phone, there are times when my sibling and I will be on the phone for one reason or another and there are 20 minutes of silence, this is either his fault or my fault. We want to talk but umm really there isn't much to talk about at the time, we can sit in a bar and B.S. all night over a few beers, maybe a rum and coke or two. I avoid talking on the phone with other people by using text messaging; it's the debbil folx pure 100% evil. I say this because you can't really tell what the person on the other side is feeling I have a habit of texting with the opposite sex rather than talking on the phone unless it's a quick, "Which bar are we meeting at" or "Which Restaurant would you like to eat at, cause I don't care." If it's not texting it's prolly an email or two through out the day maybe a few more. I think what I'm getting at here is I can't tell over email or through text messaging if someone really wants to put up with me. I know what your thinking, "With a sparkling fucking personality like yours how could you go wrong?" I've noticed people think they are being nicer when they keep talking to you when they don't really want anything to deal with you. I'm pretty blunt so this confuses the HELL out of me. I get pretty irritated, when I find out someone doesn't want anything to do with me but couldn't manage to get the balls up to say "Hey, I don't even really wanna be someone who goes out and has beers with you, so stop calling."

Really folx which is worse, one quick "Stop calling me." with a hang up the phone and it's over. or hell stop responding and stop answering the phone if that person calls. If you have a real issue with the word "NO" or if you really have a issue with it try it in two parts *some times breaking things down helps "NNNNNNNNN OOOOOOOOOO". I personally don't recover real well from the stop answering method, almost as well in fact as the "Your too nice of a guy". This leads me into my theory, if I start dating someone, walk out of the room then unexpectedly walk back in the room punch them in the eye, then walk away while explaining that I didn't want them to think I was "too nice of a guy" would that go over real well? I think what I'm trying to say is. Grow some nuts, or some ovaries which ever. I mean really, you don't have to say "Go away." but a "it's not that sort of thing lets go have a beer" should work too...just ignore the "Puppy you just beat for peeing on the rug, but want to cuddle with now look" for the first few drinks. But really normally after that’s all said and done if he's not stalker, I think he'll chill. In fact you will probably have to initiate conversations after that.

I've watched so many female friends, yeah I have female friends, and they even talk to me on occasion, I know will wonders never cease. But I can't count how many times they get a text or a phone call that they ignore, "This guy never stops." or I really love the ones that say "This guy is starting to creep me out!" while they are replying to his text. I get the never ending giggles every time I think about those. Sad thing is it's not just one of you, it seems to be about 90% of the women out there. I do have one or two friends who don't pull this course they are actually happily married....right I better get off that subject before I make a correlation that will get me in serious trouble *I'm pretty sure everybody can figure that one out with out me spelling it out ;)*
Anyway back to the case at hand does this give some of you some sort of sick jolly to know you can lead someone around by their nose and appear to everybody else that you don't want anything to do with this person? I realize I sound pretty bitter, truly I am....but only a little. It really bothers me more to watch it happen to someone else, cause they have no idea they have this side hanging around their neck that if they looked down it would say "loof" or mine says "rekcus a & loof" I make myself feel better by telling myself as long as I know I'm this way it isn't as bad.....it is....

Luckily this hasn't been inspired by anything recent. I've wanted to make this post for a while just never got the energy up to do it. Hind sight being what it is, I probably should have bitched about the holidays, less trouble that way.

Tomorrow's topic "Egg nogg, Who the Hell Came Up With NOGG?!?!" What is Nogg? anybody anybody...time to go Google it!
