Romance

Fell for it again. This is the absolute last time. I'm tempted to delete this post: "Dichotomy of You". Alas, it's probably the most honest I've been with myself. Plus, it's part of my history. I'll let it stay around. I just have to post enough content to move it off my front page!

My unimpressive track record regarding women and relationships continues. Recently, Angie text'ed me and told me she didn't think we were clicking as anything more than friends. I'm pretty used to hearing some variation of "the friends speech". I can honestly say I'm not disappointed by this latest development. Well, no more so than anyone else would be at finding himself back at "square 1".

Alas, I was pondering the uniqueness of receiving this message via text message. It's my first "txt dump". I ended up compiling a list of the various ways I've been dumped or received "the friends speech". Here's what I came up with:

Playing on the iPod: "Cut Me, Mick" by Yellowcard, "Split Screen Sadness" by John Mayer and "If Trouble Was Money" by Mint Condition.

The title says it all. I started 2008 with high hopes thinking this would be my year. I had a good job. Mackenzie makes me love her more every time I see her. I was confident about dating: I had a few prospects that I felt positive about pursuing. Yep, 2008 was going to be a good year for me.

No, Joan is not dead. However, my relationship to her is finished. For the history of this on-going problem, read this post of mine.

This week, Joan called me. I happened to be sleeping, so no conversation happened. Brian mentioned to me that Joan had made her own blog entry about how she broke off her engagement. It was the same old thing all over again. I was fed up.

Playing on the iPod: "Collide" by Howie Day, "If You're Not The One" by Daniel Bedingfield and "Hold My Hand" by New Found Glory.

I feel like I need to record the experience I had last night. Also for the sake of record-keeping, I'm adding all of the history behind the experience. There are two women that were a part of my life that I will never forget: Lisa and Joan.
