the company one keeps

i find all the doctors quite boring.

this, in addition to the daily grind, has worn me down to a little nugget of banality. i sit here jiggling meaninglessly, like a small grey lump of oatmeal that has slid from the stubbly chin of a local vagrant and landed ever so unfortunately onto a cold sidewalk. gross.

it's vaguely frightening, this threat of becoming as boring as most of my married friends. but i'm too bored to care.

and no, sorry my current single friends, no amount of alcohol makes things any more interesting.

i shan't waste more blog space on this. just wanted to tell you where i've been. i've been here. with nothing to report.

maybe i'll start writing about the ennui.

oh, wait. i just did.

I truly think that it’s not just doctors that are boring. It’s people in general. I am saddened to say this but, I believe that this is true. Most people just seem to lack soul. We wonder through life on a planet with almost seven billion people on it and yet, I find it nearly imposable to find even a lonely soul that I can relate to. What seems to be even harder is finding one that can relate to me. I am crowding forty years of age and I can count on one hand the amount of people that I really enjoy spending time with and truly find interesting. In actuality, there seems to be only one person that I truly feel this way about. The time that I have with this person makes up for all of the other boredom and frustrations that I experience with the rest of the creatures that consume my breath and that suck the very life out of my soul. I cherish my time with her. So much so that I find myself sometimes wishing away the time I have by myself or when I am with others wishing for and anticipating my time with her. I look so forward to it that when something happens and I can’t be with her I find myself in a very low spot. This is my hurdle. I guess that I have looked for so long for someone like her that I don’t want to be in a situation where she isn’t by my side. In reality this is an expectation that just can’t be met. I just hope and pray that she can understand my frustrations in these situations. The thing is I really shouldn’t ever get frustrated especially, when she tries so hard to incorporate me in her plans. That’s just the way she is. Things may not be perfect but, she always tries. As well, I have the rest of my life to spend with her and that is time I am truly looking forward to. You are totally right about boring people and there is no amount of alcohol that makes them any more interesting or palatable. It’s that one person you find in life that makes it all workable and worth wild. I have finally found that person. I only pray that she has to. Tex
