Mondayyyyness....

Well... sadly, due to circumstances beyond my control, I did not get to see Vampire Weekend tonight. My son DID go though, so I got the post-game wrap-up and an AWESOME T-shirt from him. Not the best show he'd ever seen, but not the worst. Small and packed venue, enthusiasm very high... as was the keyboard player, who seemed to lag behind the rest of the band most of the night. Truly a disappointment for the keyboard playing friend that was with them. The lead singer of the band seemed to make up for it with sizzling vocals and on-spot guitar licks, squaring it all up in the end. Sorry I missed it, but not devastated.

On the good side, I had an hours long conversation with my daughter. I was thrilled, but played it cool. She talked about things she'd never uttered before and I was so relieved. She's a mystery most of the time, and keeps her feelings well hidden. It was nice to hear her opinion of things and actually have a back and forth with her. She's a very cool person, in my opinion.

But... I don't want this blog to be about my kids. I wouldn't want anyone writing about me without my knowledge and I'm going to do my best to stay true to that. I may wander off my path occasionally and mention them, for that... I hope I am forgiven.

Being single in this ridiculous world is difficult, but being coupled with someone can be just as harrowing, maybe worse. Most of the single people I know now meet potential suitors online, as do I. It's sickeningly scary, as I know from experience. People present themselves in a light you'd like to see them in, simply because you tell everyone in your profile what you'd like in a potential mate. Wow... isn't that amazing? They like the same music I do, they like the same foods I like, they read the same books I read! We must be meant to be! I've met THE biggest losers on EARTH online... why? Because they don't stand a chance in real life meetings.

How about the loser who seems really interested in you, until you show a little apprehension. The day after you couldn't do exactly what he wanted you to do, he'll post some ridiculous message that he is suddenly in a new relationship. The idiot probably thinks he's making you jealous, but has no idea that he just made it into your INCREDIBLE loser categorey! Obviously, that is something that just happened to me, but I thought I'd share it with whatever elusive entity who might be reading this....LOL!

Enough ranting already! Have a sweet and peaceful evening.
