This is Me Getting On With My Life
by Scott Hardie on March 4, 2007
Any advice for a newly single guy? After five months, Denise and I are no longer seeing each other. I won't get into the causes out of respect for her point of view; let's just say she and I each wanted the other to behave differently and it wasn't going to happen. When the end came a week ago, I was terribly distraught over it, but now I know it's the right thing and I'm moving on. I wish her well.

I'm sorry to hear it. I'm glad it's something you can accept as the right thing though. I guess it's better to end things sooner rather than later if you know they're not going to work. Still painful though, I am sure.

Scott, sorry to hear about the terrible loss to my blog readership. :P Now who will read about my medical problems and mental issues?!
But, seriously, it's always hard to break up, but there is, I think, some consolation that it seems that it wasn't a horrible ugly break up. Or maybe it was...that would be not so good. I'm not good with words for occasions like this, so I will resort to my default reaction:
*warm fuzzies*

It was a horribly ugly break-up, but it has the upside of being over now. Thanks, everybody, for the kindness.

Aw, Scott, I'm sorry. That bites. Nothing more can be said, really. =(

"Stupid Bitch! What do you mean I can't commit? I've got my share of restraining orders!" - Steve after his last break-up.
Seriously, I have dicovered this about myself. Although I am mostly content by myself, I flourish when I am part of something. I'm one of those guys who loves being in love. And even the rockiest relationship I ever had was the best while it was happening. All that being said, you can compromise on almost anything in any relationship, but you cannot (must not) compromise yourself.

So sorry that I can't say much here without a good cry to go with, except... sorry, Scott.
(Except also that, Steve, you make me laugh an uneasy but/and empathetic laugh... And Erik, I'm not sure which is worse, either, but don't feel like you're missing out on too much, bro.)

Amen.
I don't intend to stay single for long, but I do want to give myself proper time to get over this.

Normal Paranormal
This will offend believers in the paranormal, so read at your own peril. Socially, I've tried to keep it a polite secret that I don't believe in any paranormal phenomena, including the everyday sort. Several of my local friends practice feng shui, buy healing magnets, size people up based on their birth signs, and go to dieticians who tell them not to eat foods of certain colors.

I started writing this out in an email reply to John Gunter, but I guess it should be shared. I miss gaming with you guys, but I'm on the fence about continuing. I like each of you guys a great deal, but when we're together I just don't feel the click of a connection like I used to. Go »Hello Stupid
I don't know why car companies insist on calling their products "vehicles" now. Apparently "cars" became a dirty word and I missed it. But if you're going to change the term, consider your marketing messages carefully: As a matter of fact, yes, I have heard about radar, sonar, and infared technology in vehicles, such as submarines, aircraft carriers, and helicopters.

I saw a trailer for a new Free Willy movie coming out soon, starring Bindi Irwin. They're going to cash in on that kid for as long as they can, before she breaks down and can't be Miss Junior Croc Hunter and more. Maybe working in the same career that killed her dad is good for her psyche; who am I to be skeptical? Go »Bill$
Saving up is hard to do. I'm spending every dollar I have after the holidays to move Kelly here next week, then we have to move again in two months to a larger place. And I have more than a grand to pay in taxes. Go »
