Your not their yet.

Did you read that title and almost shit yourself in anger?

I can't stand when people don't understand the different variations of those two words. We go to English and Grammar classes for a reason in school... so we don't monumentally fuck up that bad when we write.

See, I'm incredibly lonely these days. So I've really been hitting the internet match-making sites more frequently. Unfortunately, the one I go to most often had the audacity to let a slip like the one above through.

What I can't stand even more is when a woman wants to find an intelligent man, but then writes a glaring grammatical error such as that and expects to be taken seriously. (Then again I can't take a 22 year old woman with two kids seriously either. Honestly, they make contraceptives for a reason. USE THEM!)

Ok, that bit in parenthesis might have been a bit harsh.

Yeah, I make my triumphant return to the blog-o-sphere with a rant about stupidity. Who would've thought?

I'm on vacation from work this week. It's pretty much my first real vacation from work in over a year, that isn't a holiday weekend, and DAMN did I need this. Work has been kicking my ass for so long that I almost forgot what a relaxing time was really like.

No I'm not going anywhere. I wish I was though... except I spent WAY too much on a family trip to Chicago AND am in the middle of paying off $600 worth of repairs on my car. Don't get me wrong, the car very much needed all the work it got and the trip was fun. But DAMN I don't make enough money to do all that shit again in one weekend.

So instead of go somewhere fun, (like the amusement park like I had originally planned to go a few weeks ago) I am cleaning the apartment. Oh yeah... fun times.

Plus, like I said, I'm still looking for that significant other. It's tough though when you do indeed spend a lot of time at work and that drains so much energy and enthusiasm. I guess if I did have more drive, I'd try harder to get out there and find the ladies. There's got to be one out there who's right for me and vice versa. Right?

Ah, it wouldn't be a blog from Nate-O without a complaint about my love life. We're really back on track now, eh?

Tune in next time for more shananigans and complaints.
