I’ve Been Framed!

I just got these frames in from eBay. $15 shipped and I love them.

Here’s a picture of me trying them on. My New Frames Came In

The reason I look completely miserable is because I can’t see a DAMN THING.

NOTE: I’m not an anime character. I don’t normally have huge doe-like eyes and seductively fluttering eyelashes.

Whoever had these frames before me seriously had the worst eyesight in the history of Opthalmology. The lenses are about 3/4 of an inch thick, they stick way out from the front of the frames and weigh about as much as really, really heavy lenses. So, next I have to get some lighter ones in my Rx and get them installed. Yay! I’ll have my geek glasses back!

Craigslist M4M Personal Ads

CL

There’s a certain offensive naive charm to the ads posted on Craigslist. Most are so over the top, sexually, that one wonders how serious the person who posted the ad could possibly be. Current titles include such enticing phrases as ‘PUMP & DUMP’, ‘PHONE or CABLE guys…need relief ?’ and ‘MADE TO BE POUNDED’. Then there’s ones like this, entitled ‘looking service the less fortunate‘ which makes me believe that the person had to have set it up using his ex’s e-mail account:

My favorite line is ‘could be the ugliest mother fucker alive on earth’.

How romantic.

My friend Brian put it best. “Who would reply to that? It’d be like turning when someone said ‘retard’ in grade school.”

In case you’re wondering, Of course I posted an ad*.

* Caution: If seeing the words ‘spread anus’ and ‘fist pig’ (used non-sexually of course) in a post knowingly created by me offends you, you may want avoid that link.

Isolationism

Mike got evicted again and is probably moving out of the state by the end of the month. He had two heart attacks last weekend and he really needs to get out of the city for financial and health reasons. That sucks, but I’m in total agreement that he needs to leave. It’s just not healthy here for him. He actually should have done it far before now.

Armstrong Park Archway Not to pull an Oprah, but lately I’ve been feeling more and more isolated from .. well, just about everything. I’m seriously considering a therapist and for more reasons that ‘everyone else it doing it’ (even though they are.) After reading this article, I feel better about feeling like shit lately. As I said in the past, I feel ok I guess. I don’t really feel depressed, when I’m awake. It’s just everything else in my day to day routine (or lack of one) points to something’s going on. I sleep from about 11am to 11pm – dragging myself out of bed only because I have to go to work.

While in New Orleans, other than seeing Randy out once or twice and running into Lloyd on the street once and Mark coming over once I don’t think I’ve any significant interaction with people in a couple of months – certainly not since I’ve been back from DC. I go to the bar once a week for a while, be miserable for a few hours and leave. That’s pretty much the extent of my socializing. I feel withdrawn and bored and well… that doesn’t feel like me.
