It has been a short time since this was updated. I'm getting better I swear. Well things are getting rather eventful at the moment.

First off, I would like to congratulate Mark and Maria on the wonderful wedding. I had a blast and enjoyed the ceremony very much. Secondly, mostly thanks to some intervention it appears there may be a new interest in my life soon. Some people involved in the wedding hooked me up so to speak with one of Maria's bridesmaids. She is very nice and incredibly sweet. I enjoyed talking to her at the reception and hopefully something will come of it. I do hope something does come of this. I truly enjoyed being with this girl and we have a lot in common. She made me smile and laugh with little effort on her part and it appeared that she also enjoyed my company as well. We have exchanged numbers, so it will go from there. I hope to learn much about her over the next few weeks.

I am alone this week, the parents went on vacation. Kroger has rewarded me with a week filled with work. Sunday was my only day off. Mon through Sat I work various shifts that range from early afternoon to evening and early morning to late afternoon. I even have a midnight shift in there on Thur. If all goes well I may get Friday off. I hope on at least one of the days I actually have an evening I can try to get out and have a date.

Lastly, the week of July 15 to July 21 I will be out of town myself. It is my vacation from Kroger and I have planned to go stay with my brother up in Canton, Ohio. This is why I want to spend some time with her this week before I go away for a week.

I really like this girl, and I think with time it could become something more. But I will let time tell the story, whatever happens will happen for a reason.

Wish me luck, and sorry for the novel....lol.

I suppose most of you that might read this know that I have not had much luck in the relationship field. I've been hurt a lot, some things just were not meant to be. Well those of you close to me already know this, but I thought I would update those who are away that read this. I had my first date last week, a real date. We went to the mall and ate at the food court to kill time till our movie started. We talked for a good long time while eating. It was really fun. We both seemed to be enjoying ourselves. I hope to talk to her soon to get a second date going, it is just that I am so afraid of getting hurt again. But you know what, I need to forget all that and just leap. I'll never fail if I don't try, but I'll never succeed either. Wish me luck in this endevor and hopefully I will have a very happy update next time. Perhaps the long time bachelor will no longer be single the next time I update this.
