You Probably Think This Blog is About You Don't You?

So much to blog about, but on this rainy day in Carins it seems like a good day to blog.  I have been working a week now at the new job here in Carins and I must say although I am glad to have the work, but it is no Village Conery or Boardwok South.  I have a heightened appreciation for the business my mom and I own, my employees and my bosses at BoardWok Gia and Ty! 

I think the word pompous best describes the people who are my "managers".   One is your typical nasty female manager and the other just thinks he is the cats meow.  It is funny coming from a VERY customer service oriented way of conducting business and now working in an Australian restaurant.  You are not tipped generally here and as your wages are much higher than in the States.  While it may be a good thing if where you are working isn't very busy, but I believe it leads to poor customer service and understaffed restaurants where you have no time to take care of your customers. Quite an adjustment for me and I am just doing my best to figure it all out. 

I have moved into a really nice share house this week as well and it is awesome to no longer be living the hostel life.  I will probably move again in the next few weeks though since the house is just too far away from town and it's not safe to ride your bike or walk home at night.  But for now it's great and my housemates are couldn't be better. 

Although things in my dating life are seemingly always below par, I think I have had some clarity and insight into the opposire sex and dating in general.  I actually couldn't resist the the tarot card readings that were offered at the Esplanade markets last Saturday.  And I know that it's sort of hokey and can't be taken as facts, she did tell me some things that I needed to hear.  The biggest one was that I have to stop trying to please others and focus on myself and what truly makes me happy.  I am not exactly sure what that is at this very moment, but I am surely going to see what I can come up with while I am here in Oz.

And as for the title of my blog, I am just tired of guys always being so self-absorbed and assuming things about girls that may or may not be true.  It's always so funny to me how I guy will court and chase you and then when they get you and you are kind and caring, they either A) freak out and get weird or B) or retreat and ignore you.  Now, personally I think that's just shit (sorry for the language but it's how I feel).  I am sorry but I am not very good at playing the whole cat and mouse dating game I simply do not have the energy or care to play.  It's stupid.  If I like you and you like me, really what is the issue?  And if you aren't interested in an intelligent, witty, fun, caring, compassionate, giving and kind woman than I am clearly not your girl.  I also find it unfathomable that anyone genuinely "likes to be alone".  What kind of life is that?  Life is so much better shared with someone who enjoys you and life equally.

Granted I am not in anyway, shape or form perfect, but who is?  I am 100% aware of my faults and shortcomings and try to be a better version of myself everyday that I am lucky enough to be alive.  But even more important what gives any other person the right to make some feel unworthy or not wanted.  I do believe in karma, both good and bad, and don't be surprised when it returns to you in an unwanted way.

If we have ever dated or had any sort of relationship and you think this blog might be about you, then you could be spot on.  And if this does hit a little close to home for you then maybe today should be the day to make some small change in the way you treat people.  Everyone deserves to be respected and the honest truth so give it, good or bad.

Be true, be genuine and be warm always....
