"....how do you measure a year in the life?" (Rent)

 

One year/525600 minutes ago today, B and I began our relationship. We were literally friends that became lovers overnight, but... you know the rest of the story.....

 

It's amazing to be able to take a full year, and literally divide it into "the good half" and "the bad half".

 

Richard Pryor died the day B and I began dating.

 

I was still "one of the new guys" at my job, I'm now a candidate for promotion.

 

I was working weekends waiting tables at a restaurant, I bartend in a "hip" sports bar now (though I technically have the restaurant job still)

 

I had all my teeth then (I'm one less now, thanks to an extraction)

 

I didn't even have so much as a savings account then, I have a 401k and savings now. Not a hell of a lot, but I'm getting better with money.

 

I had a Playstation 2 for a DVD player. LOL... I now have a real one. :)

 

I always used my cell phone as my watch. I now have a pretty nice watch, considering I'm not a watch/jewelry person. Of course, SHE bought me the watch, I'd probably never buy myself one. lol

 

I could probably think of a million other little ways in which my life has changed in the last year... but I did save the best for last.....

 

A year ago, I was relying on my ex to "provide me with friends", I now have a whole new group of wonderful friends who mean the world to me.

 

I had, probably, the most incredible sexually-charged relationship with B, which was, for the MOST part, very loving, but there were so many periods of BS in there, it makes one forget the good times.

 

Looking back, even though I miss the passion, and the whole "naughtiness" of what we had.....

 

.....I wouldn't trade what I have now, to go back to the insecurities of being with her, wondering if she'd leave me all over again from one day to the next.

 

A year later (and nearly six months of heartbreak later), I have more now than I did then. More friends, more money, and a real direction in my life. Something my ex could never have really given me.

 

I know 2007 will be a much better year for me, it was her choice not to want to be a part of it. And trust me, at the time, she was most certainly invited for the ride.

 

Of course, I miss the sex (who wouldn't!), and there are things about her I really do miss (I loved the fact that she was a teacher, I was always fascinated by it for some reason... I also loved the fact that she coached track, it was kinda neat to think of myself as "dating an athlete", since she was one, too.)....

 

.....but, as I said, the satisfaction of making what I hope to be LIFELONG friends outweighs a few rolls in the proverbial hay anytime.

 

I have no one to thank but LS, my therapist (whom I haven't seen since the week we broke up), and my friends for keeping me on the right path, and not letting one person destroy everything I've worked hard for my whole life.

 

Now.... I just need to get laid. :) I'd love to be able to capitalize my initials on here! :)

 

Any takers? ;)

I'm sorry I can't help you get laid, but I enjoy reading your positive reflection on the last year.

 

Its the getting laid part that is the hardest part for me to get over now. It was the only thing that held us together at the end, and it definitely is not worth the pain I suffered while with her...

 

So....... here's to you and me finding someone soon so we can get laid! :p

TP-

 

You're in the "Quoting RENT" stage of recovery. This coping mechanism is well documented, don't be alarmed. However, avoid repeated listenings of "Without You" in order not to prolong this stage.

lol...and that song is between 2 chicks... ;

 

A few years ago I actually sat down and learned "One Song, Glory" to use as a potential audition piece if my agent at the time landed me an audition where I had to sing.....

 

Luckily for everyone, I've never had to actually perform it.
