    From My Inbox…

    I wanted to let you all know… If I do find someone… And I do start dating… I don’t want you to think this whole blog project will go away. I hope to find a guy who understands how important it is to educate the masses on the complete lunacy that passes as a personal ad. Maybe I should include it in my personal ad: “Seeking dude won’t mind if I’m trolling dating sites forever.”

    All of that to say: the first thing that will likely have to go whenever the day comes that I am no longer single is the “From My Inbox” segment. *sigh* One of my favorites, for sure… But I wouldn’t feel right about having a profile up if I wasn’t actually looking. It would be more about not wanting to deceive the guys who might contact me…

    ANYWAY….

    Relish these, folks. I’m hoping to not be single forever. (At least that isn’t my Plan A).

    1101g3145ZZZZZZZZZ8a831ab2bdf210d1fe0 From My Inbox...These t-shirts… *sigh* I really don’t understand them. I’ve seen the all around Atlanta. They are the tackiest thing I’ve ever seen. Seriously. Like a comic book committed suicide, jumping off a building and then landing smack-dab on this guy.

    On a related note (see the shower tile behind him), I was thinking a lot about the bathroom mirror self portraits that you see so much from men… And you know, it really makes sense. Guys don’t buy full length mirrors… They don’t hang them in the closets… The only mirror in a dude’s house is the one in his bathroom. Still don’t have to like ‘em, but at least I understand ‘em!

    1199315878phpu8I4mO From My Inbox...Am I on drugs? Because, I swear to God, it looks like he’s blowing. This picture reminds of my old days of drug experimentation. This one night, we took “Skittles” which was just OTC cold medicine for people with high blood pressure. When you took a lot of them, everything looked like slow motion… People’s faces would blur and lights would glow. It was very weird. I didn’t like it… And seeing this picture just took.me.right.back. Also, is he laying down? What an effort.

    1222035104phpRDC3Tf From My Inbox...This fella called his body type “Average.” I don’t know about you, but he looks like he’s probably fairly, um… Rotund. I’ve got nothing against a fat dude. Shit, the “Big Time Republican” was on the heavy side. But let’s keep it real. I’m only 5′ tall… Technically, I guess I’m “petite”… But I’m not super slim and I’m not going to tell a guy that I’m petite because when you think of a petite woman, you think of like… Tiny hands, tiny feet, tiny waist, etc. I’m just short. lol… Dude needs to keep it real. Though, if we were basing his body type on the statistics of the American population, he probably does fall somewhere around the “average”…

    d208 From My Inbox...This looks like a mug shot. Doesn’t it?

    Remember this?
    mel gibson mug shot From My Inbox...Looks a little bit like this, doesn’t it?
    d208+copy From My Inbox...
    And finally…
    rptw0dea34 36693939 From My Inbox...I guess he might be upset if I told him I was a Crip? The caption said (in all caps) “I DONT GIVE A F WHAT U THINK OF ME”. That doesn’t surprise me…
