Then...

Just before I head out on the anti-Valentine's Day pub tour, I visit my mom and dad.  My mom calls me shy.  My dad says I'm oblivious (and recounts how some non-cougar eyes were following me at church).  I say that I don't care.  I'm "single by choice," or so goes my cop-out, and besides "if I get married now, I'm just going to get screwed... royally" screams that jaded side of me, that won't give love a chance.

So, I remembered.  I can give, today.  And this I give to you: Obama for Valentine's Day...  sexy obama loves you too. [ via Hill and Bluntest ]

I guess I'm not so good at this "bitter-anti-lover" thing either. I'll enjoy my yam fries and cherry wheat sam now.

Wow, Neal, I hadn't checked your blog in ages! I have a lot of reading to catch up on...

Watch the movie "Idiocracy." Not the greatest of movies ever, but the point is clear, if you wait until the moment is right, the best moment has already passed. At least that's clear on some level (more like procreation), but I'm sure an intellect such as yourself will spot it and apply it to your own life.
