Sleep on a Saturday
I slept until 2:30
PM on Saturday. I was up most of the night chatting with friends. It
is 2:00 AM in the morning on Sunday and here I am again chatting with
a friend of mine about moldy cheese. I like the internet. She is
allergic to blue cheese and penicillin. Go figure. Even instant
coffee is good with enough sleep in your eyes.
Soft Contacts
The soft contacts
are working out OK. The right one
spins a bit. I'm figuring out it is my squint that is the trouble,
not the contact. They are miles better than
the hard contacts. The hard took care of all of my stigmatism.
The soft contacts aren't as good at the stigmatism, but they are much
better in the comfort area. Wish me luck.
Old Diary
A long time ago I kept a diary
in a book. Actually, I printed pages and kept them in a binder. There
are stories in there that I might put on my blog someday. The last
entry in that diary is from several years ago and it reads “I
need to start living my life instead of just writing about it.”
That wasn't the truth really. I just thought the diary was too boring
to continue. I let some friends read the
book. I promised myself that I would let people read it if they
asked. That was years before any one heard of a blog. It fits in very
nicely though. I don't even know who reads this thing. That is one of
the thrills of it.
Right Now
I'm at a total loss for what
to write. I feel like typing though so here is what is happening in
my life right now. I'm watching a movie called Spriggan.
I'm really just playing it in the background while I type. It is OGG,
so even though I downloaded it there are subtitles and both Japanese
and English sound tracks. They have come a
long way in downloaded media offerings.
I
just got back from a meeting with Tpro and we are moving forward.
We have a big step coming and I hope I'm up
for the challenge. It is what I have been waiting
for.
A friend of mine spoke to me about having children. She was
very sincere. She is in a situation where
she just might ask me to be the father. This would be in the pretty
distant future. We both have careers to
look after. Isn't that the way though? Life is what happens to you
while your are making other plans. I think Mic
Jagger said that. So, should I do
it? I think so. I'm thinking about that right now and I'm smiling ear
to ear. The only trouble is I would not be a present father. She
doesn't want a man slowing her down.
There have been two women in
the past who wanted to have a child with me. They didn't measure up.
That isn't self centered (OK, it is). It is a
terribly frightening prospect, even with some one you will be
with during the hard times. She will not
be there for me, nor will she need me I'm afraid. Still. Will my
parents have grandchildren? The play
little in my decision. it is my life, her life, and the life we may
bring into the world. Do you feel the debate going on in my heart. it
is exhilarating, terrifying, and a bunch of other
scary words.
She is probably not going to ask anyway. God
loves me either way. I think I'll wait for the real thing, the one
that includes love. Sorry “she”, the answer is you
aren't offering enough. I'm worth far
more.
