Yea, I don't get that "I must go see X Show" motivation too often but for some reason I just want to go See Jane's Addiction. NIN really hasn't done anything for me that has gotten me too excited for about the last 10 years. I guess with teeth was OK but you just can't listen to Trent too much or you'll just attach a dark ion to your outlook on life.

Just thinkingCategory: random thoughts
Yea a great time last night as always. It's always odd to remember the bits of conversation that you overhear. This one I really don't know where it came from other than some guy was talking about this song
Other than that I did have3 an interesting time analyzing myself with (e:Carolinian) on the porch
He's so right in a way, there is something deep inside my subconscious that needs to be dealt with for me to continue to progress.
So there it is the ball of nervous uptight energy that needs to be sprung.

March SadnessCategory: ncaa's
I'm bummed that Nu blew the first ever post-season home game tonight. They just couldn't hit free throws. Gone are m delusions of grandeur of them actually being a NCAA Quality team. The only thing I could take was the fact that at lest George Mason lost to Penn St; If Mason won & NU had a the potential to host a 2nd round game I would have went nuts.
Ok on to the real tournament Thursday, that Play-In game is so fake.

indecisiveCategory: love & relationships
Yea, I am backing myself into a corner and I'm going to have to make a decision. The sad part is that it's going to reverberate for a while given my current work structure will most likely be in place for a while. Here's the situation, I'm kind of seeing/talking to someone that I work very closely with on a daily basis. It's something that kind of fell into my lap as I didn't put any effort into hitting on her, it just came. If one thing comes out of this it's that at least I can say that I do possess some level of attractiveness that can lure someone in without putting on the whole charming front that guys in most cases must do to "hit on" someone.
So here I am with this person and in my best interest I've basically handled this with kid gloves, since I don't want this to become a grease fire & shitting in my nest is something that is not on my list of things to experience in life.
So here's my problem: She's pretty attractive and very moral in the sense that she's a church girl and even does music for various Catholic Churches. But as I've eluded to in I'm not used to the role of being the dominate male especially with someone who is more vanilla than I've experienced since I got my relationship psyche cleaned out by a couple of crazy love interests from my past.
Just like the Angel on one shoulder and the Devil on the other duking it out I have this dilemma on my hands. I think my mind has been tainted in the "Tainted Love" sense by the alternagoth queens that I've always ended up with in the past that produced great longing and sex. Then again I've always have been battling this dark feeling of helplessness every time I come across some obstacle that most people can just get over but to me and my perception always seems monolithic. Nothing will scare a normal chick away like that kind weak, helpless whining. I've always felt this way, but luckily it only comes cyclically. Or at least less frequently due to me playing a big game of avoiding making large decisions in life to snuff out an possibility of me mourning a shitty decision and taking a trip down a spiral for weeks or a couple months at a time due to that one thing.
So anyway I have this chick that's into me and is pretty nice and wholesome. The last thing I want to do is fuck with her head as I have with so many people [Although for most of those participants, it was mutual] But at the same time the inner Catholic altar boy wants a nice wholesome no psycho wife that will be all quaint and "normal" whatever that means anymore or in actuality some concept of "normal" from the unobtainable permanently lost past.
There's just a battle in me that has been going on for years. The "normal" person that can hang with frat boys versus the dark existentialist that loves indie films and depressed artistic sex fiends with multicolored yarn hair that listen to stuff that makes NIN sound mild. The excuse of blaming my high school just isn't cutting it anymore. Do I have to make a decision or marry someone that will force me to live a secret double life?
Yea, I have issues I know...

I agree with the others, also, especially (e:ladycroft). You just don't know what she's like until you spend time together alone. Communication and honesty are going to get you a lot farther in finding a woman than worrying quietly. If you're communicating and honest, then you're not going to be fucking with her head, you'll both know what's going on and can make appropriate choices.

I'm with the other comments.
Take time to get to know her- if you want to find out if she is wife material for you, then you have to really open up communication. She may be shy and holding back too, but underneath she might be looking for someone who she can safely get freaky with, explore all the cool dirty things that are sometimes most amazing between a true long term relationship/friendship than a casual thing. Outward appearances dont tell as much as the story as we are led to believe. Maybe she's wholesome on the outside (like you), and all things open territory behind closed doors (like you).
I too am rooting for you!

Oh, I love when things fall into your lap. But, then again, the last time that happened to me I got a glorified drinking buddy. That didn't do mmhmmhmm. Sometimes mate, you do want to choose.
And, you're totally right about the weak, helpless whining. People like being with people who can see the bright side of life and roll with the punches.
It doesn't matter who you are with, some of the time she is going to bring the psycho. The question is whether or not the nature and degree of the psycho is something you can handle. A lit match is a hell of a lot better than napalm.
But all of this thinking kills me because instead of thinking too much, why not just enjoy what you have? You've got to slow down and smell the fucking roses. You've got to concentrate on having fun with her instead. Make things easier on yourself and take the pressure off.

Has the subject of marriage actually come up? At first I thought it sounded like you were just kind of hanging out and casually dating. If what you want is a 'wholesome' wife, the goth queen probably isn't going to work out so well. But...are you making assumptions about just how 'wholesome' she is? Who says she wouldn't dress up for you now and then to appease your burning desire for the dark side? Sometimes we think we desire something because it's all we've known, or find it 'comfortable'. Your inner peace is worth more so don't be tricked by the devil on your shoulder. Bottom line though, is have this discussion with HER. The more communication you open up the better! I'm rooting for you!

Stupid InBev Don't change MichelobCategory: beer
Although my one other friend that has the same taste in beer has told me that Michelob was changing their signature bottle I finally came across where was coming
I would hate to see it go. Yea, you can't drink Michelob all the time since it is on par with drinking whole milk all the time, but it is the one things that makes it stand out more than the beer itself. Especially since I'm old enough to remember the Frank Sinatra commercials selling the stuff.
For it to just have it fall back into the pack of the other supposed "craft beers" that the have thrown under the Michelob flag would be a mistake. I love the teardrop bottle & I'm going to be sad to see it go.
Bottle design
Bottled Michelob was originally sold in a uniquely-shaped bottle named the teardrop bottle because it resembled a water droplet. The teardrop bottle was awarded a medal from the Institute of Design in 1962. Five years later the bottle was redesigned for efficiency in the production line, and later it was abandoned for a standard bottle.
In January 2007 Anheuser-Busch re-introduced Michelob in a similar bottle.
In October 2008, it was decided that the teardrop bottle would be retired and the standard Michelob Craft Bottle would replace any Michelob product currently being sold in the teardrop bottle.

I will admit I have never known what this song is about but, I've all ways liked it anyways.
