The constant complaint I hear from women is that they can’t seem to find a nice guy. Ladies, I don’t think you’re looking hard enough. We’re here; we just appear to be painfully shy. What seems to be shyness though is usually just a respect for your feelings. We’re not the guys that are going to approach you in a bar and talk ourselves up. We figure that if you’re interested, you’ll come talk with us. I realize that’s a distorted view of reality, but honestly, that’s what’s going through the mind of the single quiet guy at the bar. We don’t want to intrude on your good time, or on your group. The guys that do that tend to be those bad boys that seem so alluring at the time until they break your heart and start hitting on your best friend or your daughter.
Don’t get me wrong, not all assertive men are assholes that are only out for number one. All I’m saying is that if you’re interested in meeting a guy that will treat you with the respect and dignity that you desire, then you may just have to take that first step. Try us out for a spin this weekend. Many of us are intelligent, well-read, and genuinely nice guys. Chances are you’ll never know it though and we’ll end up ultimately getting together with a women that will walk all over us and we’ll let them because we know deep down that you’ll never come talk to us and we think that it’s better to be in a bad relationship than to be alone. That’s not true, but we don’t know it and neither do you.
Like many Americans I enjoy watching police drama shows like “Law and Order,” and ”NCIS.” Recently I’ve started looking around my house and wondering what a law enforcement officer would make of some of the items in my house without benefit of my explanation.
A couple months ago my sister and brother-in-law gave me their old set of three cordless phones when they bought an updated version. I do have local phone service, but never use it as I prefer to use my cell phone. Still, networks do go down, so in a pinch I figured having the phones as a backup wouldn’t be a bad idea. Currently the three phones are sitting on my desk in my living room all plugged into their chargers. Keep in mind that I am renting a tiny, one bedroom house with around 500 square feet of living space. What’s that, one for the living room, one for the bedroom and one for the bathroom? Not sure what the police would think about that, but seems like something that might “bump” for them.
I’ve been on a new diet for the last 3 1/2 weeks now which basically entails eating as little processed food as possible. I never actually knew what the technical definition of processed food was. I had always figured it meant Oreos, Moon Pies, and the like, but turns out it’s everything that’s not in its natural state so that’s everything canned, packaged, and frozen, etc. Now, I haven’t gone completely off the deep end so I do have some processed items that don’t seem to have much in the way of added chemicals, but for the most part my cupboards and refrigerator/freezer are pretty bare as I buy fresh produce every few days. Still, an outsider looking in might surmise that I’m on the verge of starvation or perhaps I’ve abandoned my home in a hurry.
I’ve always been somewhat of a packrat, so while tossing something away of mine is tough enough, doing the same for with someone else’s is almost impossible. The guy who lived in the house before me left some interesting items. There were a couple of florescent lights, still in their packaging in the storage closet that I had seen, but didn’t give much thought to. My landlords had made a comment when I moved in about this guy smoking a lot of pot, but at the time I didn’t think the two were connected. The other day I’m looking at my ceiling and noticed a series of holes that probably had some sort of bracket attached at one point or another. I took another look at the lights in the closet and sure enough, they are grow lights for plants! Wonder what you could do with grow lights and brackets in the ceiling…
Now I’m not sure why the police would be searching my home, but you never know. I only hope I’m present to fill in some of the missing details.
