I can hardly believe I've been home this long. Life small and large has returned to how it was before I left. I have a new job at a doing the same I was doing before I left just with a different company, and so far Verizon Wireless has treated me very well. Other than that things are pretty much the same. Same gym, same friends, same friends doing the same things. It's interesting to me when you leave a place you love you can be so worried that your missing out on so much when in reality, you didn't miss anything. I love this place. Is it perfect? Not at all, but its home.

Dating is interesting, I genuinely feel the older I get the easier it gets. I suppose I could just be getting better at it, or I am making it less complicated then I used to so it just works better. The girl I am dating now is the closest I have come to a "relationship" in four years. Not out of lack of trying I just have had a really hard time finding a girl I didn't get bored of really quickly. Biggest pet peeves in a girl are as follows. 1. I don't want to hear stories about friends of your friends who i will never meet and do not know. I don't know if that just makes me difficult or what but it drives me nuts. I'd rather hear about your cats if you have any. 2. Girls who feel the need to text me what they ate that day. Not literally mind you, but i'm referring to those relationships where the other person texts you ALLL day EVERRRY day just for the sake of talking. My Grandpa married happily and didn't have a cell phone to talk to the girl He was dating 24-7. He asked my Grandma to marry Him while home on leave from His job as a fighter pilot in the Air Force during the Vietnam war. It went something like this. Grandpa in living room eating pie "Donna, do you want to marry me?" Grandma in kitchen "yeah, i'd like that." BAM!!!!! happiest marriage i've ever seen. 3. This one is kind of shallow but bare with me because it speaks volumes about the "no one should care what any one else does so there is no accountability these days" mentality. When you take them some where in public for a date, or just to go shopping or spend some time with them in a public setting and they come out in sweats. Now this is not to say that I expect a girl to get ready every time I see them. If we are hanging out with close friends, my house, her house, camping what ever go for it grunge it up! But if we are going out get freaking dressed sweet *#&$ @# @* #$@# its annoying. Ok here is the last one 4. These are not pants.

Not pants, not ok.

I had more I was going to write about but I went a little more over the top on the whole pet peeves thing than i expected. So I'll just end with HAPPY SPRING EVERY ONE!!!
