i really dont see the appeal or merit of it
in current society.

Some people might like the "closing a deal" aspect. Legally, marriage ensures to have certain access rights or privileges should the partner die or fall ill (with all positive and negative implications).

The majority, of course, just ask themselves, a few years into the relationship, "We're already living together in one apartment, so why not take the massive tax bonuses as well?"

i'm aware of the social and financial aspects too..
in fact as far as psychological things go..
i'm big on closure...

so i'm kinda torn with the traditional mindset, and being
unconventional..(although if i ever get to the point, i'm sure
the woman in question will make the major decision for me)....

think about it, how long has marriage really been around for?
well there's some background here:
=========================
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marriage

(probably way too much)... but the one thing i've noticed
is that it has evolved.. and in western culture, i don't think
there is a pronounced emphasis on it, in the last century..

divorce on the other hand:
-------------------------------------
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divorce

(again, a long read)... probably has been around just as long..
and the rates at which they happen are going to keep increasing
from the looks of it....

so if culture makes it so easy to divorce, why go through
the hassle of getting married if you don't mean it?

either make it a lot harder to get married, and/or make it harder
to get divorced... if i'm getting into it, it's only going to be one
time for life.. (well, with whatever time i have left)...

so i've decided to start working again soon..
yes, and look for a job.. why not? it will
give me something to do.. and get back
into a somewhat regular schedule..

but where? around here? some other place?
i have no idea..... i do have some leads, that
are around me, so maybe that will work out....

------------------------------------------
yes, i'm still seeing my friend...
we've gone out more lately, and it's
always fascinating.. what she wears,
what we talk about, and what we plan
to do in the future.....

however, i have to figure out something if
i do decide to leave.. ouch, that will be tough..

then again???
========================================
i HATE going to the mall for shopping... which is why i
haven't been to one in a few years... i do almost all my
non-food shopping online (amazon, ebay, etc)....

so the other day, i had to go help a guy friend drop off
a rental car.. we had been out of town, and flew in
to a different city, and drove the car back to our town,
but the office was closed..

so i go to the mall, and knowing that my friend smokes,
i see a booth for e-cigarettes... no-ones around, or at least
i thought so.....so i am checking out the details, and then
she comes over...

'hi - can i help you?' ... she says.. well just my LUCK,
another beautiful girl to talk too ?! ... turns out she's an
ex-smoker (does e-cigs now)..20 something (i think)
funny, talented (sings in her spare time)...

i think a half hour went by with us talking about life,
habits, jokes, and everything else... yikes, i realize i
have to be somewhere else.. so i tell her i have to go,
oh well.. i'll be back later i tell her..

i did go back and talk to her briefly, but she was busy
on the phone.. she looks at me, and says wait.. i tell
her its ok, and she should keep talking to her boyfriend(jokingly)..
she laughs..

funny thing is, i KNOW i'm going to see her again..
why? because i'm going to start smoking now! (just kidding)..

why me ?!!?

it figures.. ok, back to my dark cave for now..

I hate going to the mall too. youre not alone there. but getting a job and getting out there will hopefully lead to more good things!

well life is still going on pretty quietly.
although i've been travelling like crazy.
went down to memphis by car TWICE
in the last month to help a friend move,
but then it didn't work out.

After that, i've been back and forth
to new jersey and new york..

anyways, the job situation is still in a holding
pattern.. but that can only go on so long before
i'm ready to move on..

but wait! my friend is still here! i'll have to leave her!

we're still meeting, and hanging out..
in fact we have a few more photoshoots planned..

at least i have that to look forward to..
we'll see how it goes..
