Blog! Languish no more!

I'm back.  For at least 52 new updates.  It's part of my NYR's (New Years Resolutions).  My goal is to blog once a week for a whole year, a week being Sunday to Saturday.  Therefore this would constitute week one.  The goal also includes blogging when I don't think I have anything to say, because that's never a problem in real life, so why would it be a problem in cyberspace?

So, what to blog about?  How about I'm happy that the bat shit crazy lady is no longer running for president, but I'm sorry that Santorum is really in the lead.  But I'm very glad that the GOP is apparently so fractured and reduced to infighting that they don't even have any non-crazy candidates to put forward for election year.

I think this year is going to be the year of cooking.  I had a recipe pop into my head for a seafood alfredo lasagna.  Involving crab, shrimp, scallops, layers of basil and spinach and cheese.  It looks good in my head, but I think I need to research scallops a bit before I go forward because I've never cooked them, or bought them for that matter.  So here's hoping.

What else?  Oh, I decided to get back into online dating after last years NYR of not.  But after being matched with people I'm acquainted with who have turned me down. Some for really stupid reasons (i.e. "we know too many of the same people").  I mean isn't that kind of the point?  The movie Latter Days (I recommend it, go find it and watch it)  has a quote where it says the LA is a city where everybody danced with one eye on the door, waiting for something better to come in.  But would they know it if it did?  I'd like to take that one step further and say that idea applies to gay culture, because that's what it is.  I get that nobody is willing to settle, but as Dan Savage is fond of saying, let's get into rounding.  So the guy that's interested in you isn't a 10, or even an 8 or 9.  Maybe he's a 5 or a 6 or even a 4.  But round up.  You have to give a little to get a little.  I wish more guys understood that prior to the age of 30.  But at this point that's a pot and kettle situation. 

Happy Saturday!
