Well today it’s my fiftieth! No, it’s not my age, but my number of posts in this blog. I never thought I’d make it this far, and in the beginning at least, I’d also hoped that I would be making some sort of inroad into that mystery known as the fairer sex.
With papers on the origins of the universe written in Swahili far easier to understand than the chaotic mind of a woman, every now and again the mist lifts with a profound quote that stops my perpetually shaking glass from emptying any more of its contents all over the floor. Well, for the time being.
You see, over the past few months I had started to believe that I’d taken a very wrong path in my life and it was something I was going to have to live with and miss out on for the rest of my life. For I am not like most guys who see women as something to be "conquered" and added as a notch on their bedpost. Nope, call me sensible or totally stupid, but I’ve never been tempted by a one-night stand or short term "fling" and I’ve always wanted something deeper. Trouble is, it never quite panned out the way I’d hoped and I guess us "youngsters" at the time weren’t all interested in such things.
It’s not as if I’m some sort of religious type or have particular beliefs, and some people may well scoff at the idea, but to me it just didn’t feel right. So when Alwaysd left one of her favourite quotes "I'd rather be alone for the right reasons than with someone for the wrong." on one of my postings, it made me stop and think that perhaps I’d been right all along...
