Eh, one of THOSE kind of days I’m afraid. The feeling sorry for myself type. It doesn’t make it any easier knowing it’s my own damn fault either. As much as I would love to have a meaningful relationship, anyone who means anything to me would put my heart in jeopardy were I to trust her with it. So I go on playing it safe with nothing at risk and nothing to lose. And that adds up to a whole lot of nothing.
Perhaps someone will come along and change my mind. Or maybe I’ll just get used to living without love and be satisfied with the other blessings in my life. Who knows? I sure as hell don’t.
In the meantime here are some random pictures I took of my fellow travelers passing by from my vantage point at Cheap Charlies. Yeah, I’m pathetic. I get that.
Sure enough, that’s a motley looking crew. No wonder the gals here call me gwapo. Not to mention my outstanding pesonality. Ah well.
And as if I weren’t depressed enough already, I encountered this guy on my my morning walk:
I’ll leave you with a song I somehow remember from my early childhood. My dad would come home from work, open a quart sized bottle of beer, and plop a country-western album on the record player. Patsy Cline, Marty Robins, and this one from Leroy Van Dyke:
If I see you tomorrow on some street in town
Pardon me, if I don’t say hello (hello)
I belong to another, it wouldn’t look so good
To know someone I’m not supposed to know
Just walk on by, wait on the corner
I love you, but we’re strangers when we meet
Just walk on by, wait on the corner
I love you, but we’re strangers when we meet
Motley crew is an understatement. Looks like the old folks home and insane asylum were let out for exercise at the same time. Peace out!
Haha! Yes, it definitely at times has the feel of a retirement community and it probably helps to be a little crazy to live here!
Is that dog a guy or a girl? I see big ol’ nipples on that one. I know male dogs have nipples, but they’re usually not that big. (Not that I’ve made a study of this or anything…)
Yeah, it’s funny as I just reread this post I also noticed the nipples. The guy is definitely a gal.
John, it’s been a while since I made a comment on here but ffs you are living a dream.
Do what you do and let fate happen. Don’t force it.
You are one of the most honest and genuine people I ever met In Korea. Once you let this shit go, by which I mean finding the perfect women, then it will happen!
Thank you, Thirsty! Good to hear from you again. I wondered if you were still following along on the blog. And it is good advice, I just need to relax and take it one day at a time.
Hope all is well with you.
Hey John, yes I still enjoy dropping by your little space on the interwebs from time to time to see what your up to.
Travelling a lot with work these days but unfortunately not to the Philippines, maybe one day!!
