So I've been busy switching jobs and all. But I guess I'm still alive. Right now I'm
working at my old employer trying to get my replacement up to speed.
Let's talk about something I've only touched on here and there. Karen, she is the most important
person in my life and I just can't say enough about her. In the past I heard some rumblings about her "influence" over
me, which is just silly. First it's just not true, but most importantly it's impossible. Come on if 12 years of
school couldn't control or change me how the hell could a woman?
I've had four girlfriends in my life each was a learning experience. The first one Karen's
sister, a story we'll get into another time was first and great till she demanded marriage, five children, and a personal
relationship with Jesus. That's where I learned that you can't make a relationship work when you have aposing view points,
and anyone that has read what I've written here knows my views on children, marriage and religion.
Next was Katrina II she was shall we say different, our problem was personalitywise we had identical
moodswings. There were clashes and she ended up leaving me for a dork that looked like Julienne Lennon, worst part was
I saw it coming.
Then Kris, she had potential but her complete refusal to deal with real life was frustrating and
ultimately destructive. Well that and she couldn't keep other guys from apperently accidentally screwing her and then
lying about it afterwards.
Karen was an accidental relationship. I was still in touch with her mom after I broke up with
her sister and one day when I was calling to talk to the mother I got Karen and we had quite a nice conversation, then more
and more and slowly we discovered that we sharted quite a few interests and view points and all I needed to do was show her
how much money she would save on college if she moved to California. That was over eleven years ago. And while
we have had our rough spots as all relationships go through we are quite happy today.
To be continued...
