A Place in the Sun
Everybody got somebody. Except for me. I am just sitting here with a dog named Boudreaux and one I call Pierre. We've got nobody else to keep us warm, and that's just fine.
Being single has afforded me the opportunity to see a broader picture. I connect the dots and learn something about myself. I learn about others in my past too. I can now see them clearly for who they are.
The wise Donna Fargo once sang, "You can't be a beacon if your light don't shine". I subscribe to that belief -- often to the disdain of others. I refuse to be captured, tucked away, and put on some shelf. I am happiest when my light shines bright.
Can two people truly co-exist in a relationship where their individual spirits are allowed to glow? Or will fate forever conspire to dim that which is special in each of us? That is where my real worries lay.
Until I can trust another, I am content flying solo and untethered. I have my own place in the sun, and that spirit yearns to keep shining bright. Shine on firefly. Shine on.

that is the most selfish thing i have ever heard, you will never have anyone but a couple of mute dogs.
Everybody don't got somebody - so fuck that worry. And I don't believe anyone is there to complete the other person - so you're all over that, and good for you.
Can two people co-exist...with all that other stuff you said - absolutely. The key is clearly to find that person (yes, difficult - i get it!), or to not let anyone minimize who you are and vice versa.
Trust is another issue.
Not to sound like a self-help book: but you get what YOU want from life. It's yours, not someone else's or some version of what society says should be/have.
As far as I can tell - you're a good man. Just be yourself.
Nice blog - glad to see all's well with yourself.
If you're alright with how your life is going being single - that's what it's supposed to be the then and don't worry about it.
I really hate that myth perpetrated that there is "someone for everyone". It's just a flat out lie - but I'm okay with that. I'm happy with who I am, present unemployment situation not withstanding.
So go on with your fine, bad self and enjoy life in how it's presently being shown to you by the universe.
Oh yeah - and the video? You're scaring the rooster.
The moves are QUITE as hot as the Beard Lust movie, but you're having fun and that's all that counts.....yes.....that's it.....
Darlin,
You ain't a firefly. You're a Bolt of Lightning. You just haven't learned that yet. I hear the sadness in your voice. I've been there, too. We've all probably been there at one time or another. You don't sit home alone self-pitying yourself. You're out there, you're active, you play tennis, you hit the gym, & you hit the bars. You'll find Mr. Right ( or maybe just Mr. Right for tonight.) TRUST ME! You will. Now stop pitying yourself & get some full-of-fat ice cream. It helps me when I'm in a funk... OK?
Huggggs! ~Raw~

Narcissus or Narkissos (Greek: Νάρκισσος), possibly derived from ναρκη (narke) meaning "sleep, numbness," in Greek mythology was a hero from the territory of Thespiae in Boeotia who was renowned for his beauty. In the various stories he is exceptionally cruel, in that he disdains those who love him. As divine punishment he falls in love with a reflection in a pool, not realizing it was his own, and perishes there, not being able to leave the beauty of his own reflection.
Brett, I must say this. When you broke off with your partner and made an antry saying that you were feeling lonely, I felt sorry for you and offered my friendship via e-mail. Though I kept writing, you stopped after sending one message. That's why I have mixed feelings about your loneliness and I think that, to some extent, you owe it to yourself. I know you're talking about something a little different here but it's related. I still feel sorry for you and wish you all the best. Honest.
