Random thoughts
By Jack HandySo I am watching MST3K on my PC at Midnight instead of sleeping like I should be and surfing the net at the same time. One of the things I ran across was my friends site,
Comics Independent. It made me realize that once I was a real artist back in high school and I used to draw and write. Now days I know my art skills suck hard.
Sometimes I wish that I had stayed with my hobby of drawing because it would be cool to be a snobby artist. People could ask what I do in my free time and I could tell them I am an artist. That always sounds much better then telling them I am a web geek.
I guess another thing that has me thinking about my life, hobbies, and bragging rights about what I do is the fact that my roommate has recently started dating again. It reminds me that I have not dated a girl in over 2 years. In fact I have not dated anyone since I have arrived at Vail. One of the things that I think keeps me from really pursuing girls, or at least one of my excuses to myself, is the fact that I really have nothing to offer anyone.
I feel that I need to be settled down, reliable car, good paying job, house, before I can impress a girl enough to go on a date. I am at an age where I am not looking for a girlfriend but someone that I could marry. But I want to be independent before I pursue that type of relationship. Right now I am thinking of a 2-3 year plan to afford a house. By the time I can afford a house my MINI should be mostly paid off and I could live over the pass in Summit County or down the valley where house prices are much cheaper.
One of the things that I have been interested in checking out is the site eHarmony.com. It is a website that is not a dating service but a site that is meant to find compatible people that are looking to get married. I would be more interested in a relationship that could get to the comfortable live in stage than having to go through the mind games and stupid dating poker style that all girls will run a guy through when dating.
