Merry Christmas!
Note: When holding indoor kitty by the back door and outdoor kitties come up to the back door, indoor kitty may accidentally claw you in the lip.... lesson learned.
We ended up doing all of our gifts last night on Christmas Eve. I sent my niece an electric guitar and my mom said it stole the show and their were tears in her eyes when she opened it. So Christmas was a success! That made me really happy to hear.
I already got the Xbox One for Christmas from my mom when it first came out. But yesterday I also got Battlefield 4. I was kind of expecting a game, but didn't know which one. I would have guessed Battlefield or Call of Duty, it's not like there are a lot of options since there are just a handful of games out right now. I haven't played it yet, but I'm looking forward to doing so.
Glad to have gotten another game because I don't think I will buy another one for a long time. Their are games I'd like to have, but the next one I want is Wolfenstein and it doesn't even have a release date yet. My first priority right now though is trying to be able to afford a trip to Vegas.
Last night I managed to catch Mrs. Kitty and brought her inside for a few minutes. I think when I turned on the back porch light it woke her up. She walked to the door with her eyes half open like she just woke up. She turned around on the back step and paused for a moment and that was long enough for me to grab her real quick and pull her in the door. I petted her for a little while and she just purred and purred. Still she's fully awake she won't let me get close enough to even pet her.
I slept in this morning and just relaxed. Usually I'll drive down to Ha Ha Tonka or Bennett Springs on Christmas and enjoy the solitude of not very many people being out. But it looked really overcast today so I had slept in so late I'll wait for another time. Also I'll usually go to the movies with my mom and stepdad, but we skipped that this year. With my mom's health like it is and there really wasn't much out they wanted to see. Half the movies are sequels which they haven't seen the first one of.
Having seen the first ones I wouldn't mind seeing the Hunger Games or Hobbit and I would also like to see 47 Ronin or The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. Didn't feel like going by myself and I would just as soon go when there are less people at the theater. So I'm currently just sitting here with the family watching the first Hunger Games on Amazon Prime.
I got to talk to the girl today, that made me happy! We talked about music and her travels and things. She sent me a couple pictures. One of them had a guy there in it and I asked her if she was interested in him and she said she wasn't. I could have done a happy dance! I figure the cat was already out of the bag anyway as far as me liking her goes.
Currently comforting a friend and giving relationship advice. I used to be the go to guy when any of my friends had relationship problems. I'm just not that good at it in anymore. It's like preaching something you don't believe in, I've lost the passion for it. Everyone says those things like "Don't worry you'll find someone" or "Your true love is out there". But I don't really believe it.
Even with the girl I like, it's hard for me to have any hope. I know in the end my heart will most likely be laid in front of a steam roller. But finding love is like playing the lottery, it's a long shot, but you won't win if you don't play. So I guess that kind of fully sums up how I feel about said girl. I'm buying a ticket, but I'm fully aware of the steam roller's presence. I'm sure I'll say never again! But then later on down the road, I will pass the shop window and I'll purchase another ticket. Having your heart laid in front of the stream roller is just the price of a ticket. Between the long conversation I had with my friend and writing this blog, I think I wrote what is probably one of the longest Facebook posts in history on the subject of love. I'll just copy and paste, getting tired of writing.
I used to be the guy everyone came to for relationship advice. But these days I almost feel like I'm preaching a sermon I no longer believe in. I think finding love is about like winning the lottery, the chances of it happening are slim to none. But then you hear about that one exception the old couple who's been together 60 years and still watch the sunsets together. So you keep buying tickets on that one in a several million chance you'll hit the jackpot. I remember when I was 16 years old discussing the prospects of love with a cashier at a grocery store I worked at. An older woman overheard our conversation and gave me a piece of advice that has always stuck with me "The older you get the more it's just about finding someone who will just hold your hand in the grocery store at the end of the day." Looks fade with time, we all grow old, get fat and wrinkly, but what is on the inside never really changes. Girls spend so much time trying to change guys, but people don't change. Sometimes they grow, but I don't believe you can change someone or you should have to try in the first place. I think in those situations we fall in love more with the idea of someone than we are with the person themselves. I don't think we will all find love, like I said it is about like winning the lottery. Most guys are jerks and I can tell you most girls are just as bad! But I can tell you there are good guys out there. I would like to think I am anyway, I try really hard to be. But without being good looking, being kind of fat, and not a millionaire.... at least the older I get the more valuable the things I am become. I think maybe that is good because if I ever do hit those winning numbers I hope it lasts for more than a few years. If I never win I'm ok with that, because I don't have a psycho ex-wife to deal with like I hear a lot of horror stories about. It still hasn't spared my heart from a lot of scars, but I've learned if you wait around another one will come along. So I take my heart out of my chest and lay it on the warm asphalt as the steam roller chugs along in it's direction, because that is the price of a ticket if you ever want to hit the jackpot. As they said in the movie Hitch "Because thats what people do... they leap and hope to God they can fly! Because otherwise, we just drop like a rock... wondering the whole way down..."why in the hell did I jump?"".
