The Internet is weird

Rock hard…… Okay, so what did you just think of? Actually, it's two words on a can of Durham's Water Putty, a repair material. Sorry ladies, not what you had in mind. LOL

Don't wait until everything is just right. It will never be perfect. There will always be challenges, obstacles and less than perfect conditions. So what? Get started now. With each step you take, you will grow stronger and stronger, more and more skilled, more and more self-confident and more and more successful.

I swiped this from Nick's blog. The difference between dogs and cats: A dog says, 'You pet me, you feed me, you shelter me, you love me, you must be God.' A cat says, 'You pet me, you feed me, you shelter me, you love me, I must be God.' ….. No kidding, and those cats like to fuck wit God.

Anyway, the post subject is about the Internet being weird. As in this is a weird way for people to meet each other and find friends and mates. Actually though, it really isn't. For hundreds, maybe thousands of years, people have had all kinds of unique ways of finding, getting to know each other, fall in love (in some fashion), finely meet each other in person and become a team, or couple, or not. Many of those attempts at those relationships fail. But I'm guessing that the failure rate for Internet relationships are no higher than any other of the many ways people find and meet each other. And the ones that are just online friendships, how wonderful is that? I'm still friends with folks from way back before blogs, when we used ICQ and online chat rooms a lot. Being the computer pack rat I am, I still some pictures of them, and that was five computers ago.
….
So…. Have you ever went to meet someone that you met online? Come on now, fess up. I have, most of them turned out that we wasn't interested in trying a relationship with each other, other than just being online friends. But you never know, you might meet the right fun redhead, or blonde, or brunette. Two of us did try it, a relationship and I'll tell you about it, because that is the kind of guy I am. LOL

About ten years ago I met a lady through ICQ that a man that knew her introduced me to. I don't recall how I met him online, maybe in a chat room or something. Anyway, we got to sharing messages and jokes everyday and learning about each other, and just clicked. We shared pictures, lives, stories, and yadda, yadda, and after a while decide that we should meet as we had kind of fell in love (or in lust) online.
….
So we planed a two week get together at her place as she was working and I wasn't because I had made enough money trucking and didn't feel like working for a while. Well, it wasn't concrete that I would be staying with her of course, we wanted to check each other out in person some before making that decision. It was a two-day drive and when I arrived there I got a hotel room and called her and we made arrangements to meet in town. She thought I was great, I thought she was great, we hadn't conned each other about what we where when we where doing ICQ and emails. We where both what we said we were.
….
I never used that hotel room… Smirk. We had good times doing things together and had great sex two times a day for two weeks, it was great. When she was at work I would work on her home that needed a lot of attention so it gave me something to do, and I fixed most of the meals as I had the time. But sadly, it didn't last, at the end of the two weeks she figured that she had, had enough. Well, that really sucked, I wasn't figuring on it going that way.
….
She didn't like me suggesting to her how she should care for her dogs, but I'm just not into playing with dogs that have been lying in their own shit all day long because they have no where else to lie locked up in a pen that isn't being kept clean. She said that she had never had so much attention and that it bothered her. WTF ??? It's not like I was hanging on to her all the time. But if we went somewhere I would hold her hand while driving, hug her before she went to work, hug her when she got home, called her honey a lot because that is just natural for me. Fix her some meals as I had the time and she was busy. Things like that. Oh well, some women just don't like much attention except when they are in heat I guess. At least she was in heat a lot… LOL
….
Would I do it again? Go a long distance to meet someone? Maybe, if I felt that we knew each other pretty well after sharing a lot online, if I felt that there was a chance for a lasting relationship. I feel that life should be about adventures, experiences, and things like that, live in a box and all you have is a box, anyone thinking that there is security in that is wrong. There are women that visit this blog that interest me for whatever reasons. And a few of them I don't even know all that much about them, it's as if the mystery of them is intriguing. Or the things I see on their blogs I like, I feel that I can relate to them.
….
But I don't know what they look like, how old they are, critical things like that. But I have an imagination and those are great things to have. Like, Gracie for (one) example, I'm intrigued by a frigging eyeball. LOL … Yup, I love that eyeball. Oh, well she loves me also, so of course that always helps. My imagination tells me that she is over fifty, has a great sense of humor, is warm and loving, is okay looking, and has a body that turns my crank. Yup, the Internet is weird, but no more weird than any other way of communicating, no more weird than our imaginations. Would I go again to meet someone if we were both interested? Knowing me, I suppose I would, there are a few women online that interest me. But only if I thought she was for real and not jacking me around. All things involve some risk and I've never been afraid of that. I'm not much for hiding in boxes. Last year I was willing to go to Atlanta, and that is a right far distance from me (No, it turned out that I didn't go).

Have you got any such stories to share?
….
Bingo !!! The nice man that made my upper dentures meant well I'm sure, but they didn't even come close to fitting me properly, I couldn't even put them in my mouth. He would have had to spend hours trying to make them fit properly. Mostly I have ignored them, they seem to like it in that old butter tub anyway. But I take them out at times and mess with them some, and now I have them feeling just right. And just in time for turkey day, I think I will eat a few extra calories as I've lost some weight anyway. I don't eat a lot, I eat to live, not live to eat. You have to be a special kind of stupid to forget to eat you know. :-)
….
I don't handle stress with food, I handle it with booze and nicotine. LOL….. I hate the smoking though, but I've been cutting down on it. It's not like I ever smoked over a pack a day anyway, unlike some people that smoke two or three packs. Besides, I did vote for the smoking ban in public places.
….
I'm going to upgrade to Blogger Beta this evening or tomorrow during the wee hours when hopefully the Internet is slow. I hope everything goes right, Azgoddess seems to have made the transition seamlessly so here's hoping it goes the same for me.

Love, Peace, Hugs…. BBC
