Thanks so much for the mention and link. Very much appreciated.

For now at least I like the blogosphere… it’s a great place for me in the interim of this re-adjustment I’m making. I’m sure the time will come when I’ll feel differently.

Thanks again, hun 🙂

I’m a fan of crystal clear, here-ya-go, choose-this-one kind of answers. And honestly, my biggest problem (according to everyone), is that I am just way too picky, and that I should settle. But I’m not a settler.

So you settle for less taste in trade for something you think is more important. Just like with people. You might think one thing is important so you look past some other things you don’t like. So first you have to determine if your priorities are good for <i>you</i>. Most of the time, with pressures coming at you from <i>everywhere</i>; they aren’t. You’re conditioned to believe that one thing is important, when a lot of times it isn’t. I think the key to everything is in figuring that out. And I don’t think it’s a black and white answer. It’s grey and fluctuating; balance. Oh man, I’ve just rambled all over your site. Sorry about that. Sometimes subjects catch my interest and I blah-blah all over the place.]]> Yeah, it’s a choice made based on priorities. You forgive the lack of flavor because you’ve prioritized the fat-free part over taste. So you settle for less taste in trade for something you think is more important.

And it’s always that something isn’t there. Damn fat-free ice cream. It really sucks you in, doesn’t it? Argh.

It's like fat-free ice cream. Mmmmm, it's still ice-cream. It's just as good as the real thing. Yeah, right. haha]]> Unless you’re looking for a vodka tonic and stale pretzels.

I’ve done that before though too. Been real upset that everything about someone I meet is right on, but there’s just something not there. That’s a dangerous position to be in too. ‘Cause given the right atmosphere, it’s a recipe for ‘settling’. It’s like fat-free ice cream. Mmmmm, it’s still ice-cream. It’s just as good as the real thing. Yeah, right. haha

And you’re right regarding the college educated comment. (And he was a complete bore.) I digress—what I am looking for won’t be found in a bar. 😛

If he had a blog and you came across it, you’d get two lines into reading and move on.
Don’t confuse college educated with interesting. Sounds like you really wanted him to be interesting, because he fit the mold of what you are looking for. Well, except that he was a complete bore… 🙂

But, if they are only sharing the most interesting things, how come Joe Blow at the bar doesn’t share his most interesting things?
