Jack's Ramblings

[injest]

I think when you meet other people in real life you begin to realize how important these people here are to you. You are thrust into another environment and you end up being judged not as a person, but as a potential bedmate and if you don't show interest in that you are out. Here, in most cases, that does not matter. Friendship has much more potential.

yes here we are all equal ...we are judged by our posts not our clothes or hair style or car...

When I try to tell people about how I met all of you it is like they don't quite understand. How something can happen where so many people can go so many places and become friends from so many different places is something they just don't understand. Sometimes it is hard even for me to understand cause I met so many people from so many different places and can just get along with them and relate to them so well. Is this something that Brokeback did and if so I think it is a great thing. Think about this, we have arguments on here about political differences, about whether we are gay, homo, straight, etc., but in the end we are in the same place. And is that not something that is really special that we are able to do that and still remain in the same place. We would not come here if we did not feel some kind of bond with each other. I really am very grateful that I have met all of you either in person or online. And I think everyone should be able to express their thoughts on topics, hey don't hold back cause your opinion means something as all of you mean something to this group. In the end that is what it is about. That is why we exist and why Brokeback all brought us here.

Hey there, Jack!  I haven't been by to visit you in awhile.  Hope you're doing well, bud!  I am always grateful for my Brokie friends - never known support like it before in real life, where you can completely be yourself and be OK.

Yes, and people being equal means so much. And you are right we all start out here as equal. And like with the election I respected everyones opinions and that is why I never got involved with it. The guy who I have loved completely for almost 8 years now from Texas was upset with the election, but I talked with him tonight like I do every weekend night and I guess he accepts it. And why do I bring him up, cause I went on some kind of "blind date" type thing tonight and it only made me realize once again how much my guy in Texas means to me.

I am out of your loop, Jack.  I don't know about Texas guy.  I need to catch up on your blog...I'm way behind....sorry.

Blind-date, hunh?  I'm sorry that it wasn't that good.  IMO, not much makes you feel lonelier than being with the wrong person and knowing it.  I don't know who came up with that "love the one you're with" business, but that doesn't work too well for me.

My housemate does the online dating thing and is encouraging me to try it, but I'm thinking No or at least Not Yet.  I've got a list of different things I want to get involved with here and I'm going to try that first - common hobbies.  Who set up the blind date tonight?

Lynne where are you at now? Did you move again? I am having a hard time keeping up with you  Are you still living in Seattle? It's good to see that you have become active on the forum again. I have kind of been in and out, but I guess I always come back  Did you really get to see Truman, Rich, and the gang?

Hey there, Jack!  I am back on your side of the country now in Jacksonville, FL.  I've been here about a month and so far it's good.  The new job is going to be pretty demanding, but I think (hope) I'm up for it.

I got to visit with Truman, Bob, Rich, Paul, and Chuck on my way back home from Seattle.  If you missed it, details and pictures are here

We oughta meet in Atlanta or somewhere sometime.

Yes, I always come back to BetterMost too, though it's rare I'm really 'missing' - sometimes I'm just in surf mode and don't think I have anything helpful to add, which has been most of this Election cycle.  Then something will motivate me again.

Ace got voted out too   And I would have been for Marcus, but he helped voting Dan out and it came back to him cause he got voted out too   So I don't know who I am for now, I guess Crystal. I know for sure I am not for Charlie, there ain't no need for that kind of lisping, damn he is worse than than Todd from a couple of seasons ago. It would be nice to have a gay guy on Survivor that acted like a regular guy. But wait and see if Charlie don't win. Straight people love to laugh at people that act like that.

You mean you're cheating on Memphis with Dan?

I'm not sure how that happened but anyway thanks Chuck......it is truly great to have you and everyone else here as such good friends..........those that I have been on events with there is no other way to describe it as great......I mean that. We have had great times and I hope there are plenty on the way. And Chuck one day I will scare you again like Jose and I did in Zombie Land.......

Oh geez.  That's all I need.
