Life goes on...

I've been trying to be more social. I've been hanging out on Friday's with my best friend in an attempt to be more social and outgoing. And that's been fun and a good thing but after the bar bill has been paid and the run to Popeye's has been performed I'm here, alone again. I try not to dwell on it as much as I once did and make every effort to just live a good life, doing my job, enjoying my family and friends when at all possible.

One of my nieces turned 18yo. She's a good kid and I think that she's starting to understand how this "life" stuff is going to go. She's maturing and she's smart. It makes me proud and happy for her. She has so much to learn and experience. So many mistakes to be made and lessons to learn. Achievements to earn and accolades to give. People to meet, to learn about and love. A full life ahead of her. I hope that it's a beautiful and wonderous life. I wish this for of my neices and nephews. 

So here I am. Rambling and feeling sorry for myself. Why? Probably because I think about what could have been for my life. The path not taken and choices made. Right or wrong it's been a decent life, because it could have been a lot worse. But at this point in my life, it would be nice to share my daily life with a good woman who loves me and cares for me.

I don't need some subserveant slave woman, but it would be a wonderful thing to know that there was someone who needed me and wanted me and at the end of the day, waits for me to get home, as I would be waiting for her at the end of the day.

That's all for now. Time for beer, pizza and some sci-fi.
