From what I understand, it helps you weed out incompatible people faster. I wouldn't know though... match.com wasn't in existence the last time I dated.

Right now, doing homework (sort of).

So go somewhere physically outside your "circle"...

If there is a pretty girl I want to talk to at the bar and she's surrounded by 3 of her girlfriends..it's tough to just start a conversation..and I also have no idea if she is interested in a relationship or has a boyfriend/husband...alot of girls take their wedding rings off in bars so guys will buy them drinks. On an online site it's cool. You can browse different profiles..if you like a girl you can e-mail them..if e-mail correspondence goes well..you exchange phone numbers and if the phone conversation goes well..you meet. I feel like I need to date lots of different women to find that special someone. Back in the day internet dating used to just be for nerds but now it's very much mainstream and lots of people have had success with it.

I'm sometimes envious of friends who work for big companies with lots of 20-something women..but I don't have that with my work. Who knows maybe I'll meet the girl of my dreams in the produce section of the supermarket..

like where? i have zero extra time. my job keeps really busy. if i could i would but if i want to retire in the next ten years i have to keep building my biz. which means i work all the time and i see mostly the same people. well at least people in the same industry. most of women i meet at the bars/lounges are fun for the night but thats about it.

Seriously...the last time I had a one night stand..I was thinking to myself on the drive home from her place,"Doesn't anybody want a relationship"...I want a girl who wants me for more than my curly hair and freestyle rapping skills.

On topic..I've been surfing the net for awhile..maybe I'll check out some ski porn on youtube..I should go to bed soon but I don't want to..

There are pros and cons..I like working in a family business because I can make executive decisions and help my parents make more money..it's also nice getting out early enough for a couple hours of night-skiing everyday after work..but there are no Softball teams/happy hours and other commaraderie that my friends who work at Merck experience

i think the same thing most of the time. i am litlle old for one night stands but if its no sex or sex. i like sex.

that being said if could find a girl/woman that would except what i do for a living and didn't start to geting all upset about my hours when we start geting close i would be in heaven but the reality is after you get close they think that somehow i am going to change what i do for a living. i put a lot of work into becoming good at what i do and get paid very well to do it. if they would be willing to take up the slack and make up the difference i would be down but i have yet to find someone.

i could have done the same thing with the family insurance bussines but it didn't use any of the skills i possess. i like building things not selling. granted i sell lots of equipment to build the things that i do but there is th creative element that i love. plus when i build or design something lots of people see it/hear it. straight up sales really kills me. i really love me job its th kind of job everone else wants but has no idea how to do and i am doing it. maybe it will be a relationship or my job but that a choice i am nowhere ready to make.

I'm the same..I want a girl who accepts me for me. My ex tried to change me but nobody can turn GSS into a whipping boy. Some of my friends/relatives have been fortunate enough to find laid-back partners while others are stuck with high strung wet-blankets. I always wish skiing was more popular among young women. It would be great to meet a girl skiing..but not many single women seem to go skiing..they all seem to be with their boyfriend/husband...oh well

On topic..MTV video music awards are on in the background..I took a walk earlier and I'm thinking about taking another walk..maybe to the ATM machine so if I get mugged..I'll have more than 8 bucks in my wallet..lol

Trying to get used the the MAJOR reorganization of my desk at my office that occurred yesterday. The folks that handle all of our computers and other tech stuff were in running cables and installing new workstations and as a result, the location of my desk changed completely. As a creature of habit, and not having had enough caffiene yet this AM, this new location is taking a few minutes to get used to.

As long as you can surf the net between patients..AZ has been very quiet the last few days because a certain dentist hasn't been on here much.


I'm working on a database of funeral homes for a new mailing..I'm going to check in some granite bases this morning while it's still cool...then go out to three different cemeteries and check out tombstones for duplicates...I'm psyched that it's almost the weekend..

Glad to see that my post whoring was missed there GSS ;)

Right now I'm trying to figure out why the printer in my office, that was working perfectly before yesterday's major computer re-alignment in my office, won't even turn on(and yes it is plugged in ;) )

Leaving work in a little bit and first going over to my place to grab some clothes and toileteries..to bring over to my parents place where I'll be dog-sitting until Sunday..they're on a cruise and the dog was at my Aunts until today..then I'll hit up the local bar for happy hour and chill with my 82 year old homeboy Frank..

Spent 5 hours steam cleaning all the carpets and rugs in the house. I usually use Stanley Steemer, but I'm all about saving the 350-400 bux these days. Those rugdoctor machines actually do a decent job. Now I'm getting small as a reward for bustin my butt.
