Big News

Starting with the big news ...

I got me a new phone .. check it out:

I wasn't sure if I was going to like it so I was going to test it out for 2 weeks and return it. But I love this phone. I am going to keep it. It has EV-DO highspeed so when I tether it to a computer I can get speeds of 700Kps. My DSL is about 1100Kbps, so it is very fast. The only problem I see is that tethering your phone to your computer is frowned upon by Sprint. Apparently, there is no rule against it now but you will get a letter if you abuse it. I don't plan on using it much, just for when I need access to the Internet when I am on 24hr call for work and not near a wireless access point. I will try to get a definative answer from Sprint soon because they will charge you a ton of money in over usage.

I am enjoying the slim-ness of the phone and I can create my own mp4 ringtones. Michael has the theme from Sealab 2021, and The Greek has the intro to Jump by Madonna ... as requested.

What would you like your ringtone to be?

The past few days have been a blur. Friday, Saturday, and yesterday I was with The Greek. We have been spending a lot of time together, and it has been great. Our relationship is (surprisingly) very easy and there aren't any major issues. I think we've talked just about everything, and nothing seems to be off limits. Just the fact that we do talk is nice. I am meeting one of his friends tomorrow for dinner, and I am going to a house warming party with him this Saturday. So, I guess I am being formally introduced to everyone. We'll see how everything goes.

The Greek and I were having dinner at Panda this past Saturday, were he mention this perfume he like. Perfume and cologne are the same thing in terms of language in Greece. He asked what was the most "gay" thing do in term of grooming. I mentioned that I wear my Tree Oil Face Mask from The Body Shop twice a week. He laughed. Externally, I told him if I didn't do this my face would be one big zit; internally, I was thinking "You wear perfume and LOVE Madonna, but me wearing a facial mask in the privacy of my own home is 'gay'." But you know, whatever. While dining he was becoming increasing annoyed by these rowdy gays who were reading their fortune cookies. The would finish whatever they read with "...in bed." Example:

Fortune Cookie: "You are very skilled and won't settle for anything less than perfection."
Rowdy Gays: "...IN BED!"

I didn't seem to mind, mostly because that joke is tired ... but The Greek was not amused. He mentioned that we should eat in other places besides the gay area. When they finally left he seemed more calm.

After dinner we saw Transamerica. It was a good movie and it was different than what I expected. I thought the theatre was going to be packed considering that lead actress Felicity Huffman won a Golden Globe for her performance. But when we arrived it was about 1/4 full. It worked out well because I hate packed theaters. Unless they have stadium seating, then I don't mind that much.

I went to see Brokeback Mountain again on Sunday with my housemate. Even though I saw the movie a month ago, I was surprised how good is was/is during the second viewing. There were some things I missed the first viewing that I caught on Sunday. I don't want to go on and on about the movie and spoil it for those who haven't seen it. But my housemate finally understood why I was so infuriated when Gene Shaliat referred to Jake Gyllenhaal's character (Jack Twist) as a sexual predator during his review of the movie. Which made no sense at all. How could Jack Twist be a sexual predator if the Heather Ledger (Ennis Del Mar) was a willing participant in the relationship. Jack may have been the original aggressor, but Ennis was just as aggressive. Gene Shaliat has since apologized for his comments, but the damage has already been done. My housemate and I think that Gene didn't even see the entire, but only the trailer because he seem to be fixated on the sheep than the love story of the characters. I don't expect everyone to love this movie, but a guy like Gene (who has a gay son) should have worded his review a bit better. Consequently, he has a book coming out soon so maybe he was trying to get his name in the headlines.

Anyway ...

I am playing tennis tonight looking to win in straight sets. There is only one guy in particular that I am worried about because he has a great first serve. Everyone see to be on my level of play. I just need to keep the play and play and be conservative with my shot making. I will post the result when I get home.

edit: I lost; 6-4, 2-6, 2-2. Because of time the total number of points determines the winner. I end up playing they guy I was worried about.

This past Saturday I played tennis for three hours and I brought my digital camera with him to get some video. I got a 1GB fast card so the video ended up being like 30 minutes long. I will edit it down and I will post it as my highlight reel soon. From watching the video, I notice that my service motion is a bit clunky so I need to smooth it out a bit. I will be working on it over the next couple of months.

I am working on my taxes and hopefully will be able to finish on Friday. I need my W2 from my current employer, but I received the W2 from the previous one. I am using HR Block free tax program, like I have done for the past 2 years. I am not sure whether or not I will file for tax taxes. I lived in New York State for only 5 months and 4 days so technically I don't have to file. I don't expect much of a return I will do the forms and see how much I will get back, if it is a couple of hundred buck then I will file.

I wondering if I should include the money from my part-time stripping gig? Is there a sweating-single dollar bill deduction?

Various results

This past Tuesday was the first day of my tennis league, and I wound up playing one of the weakest players there. It was a silver-haired guy in his late 50s who is also diabetic. Yeah. Apparently, he took too much insulin just before playing and he was feeling the after effects. I was concerned but he decided to play on. It wasn't really fun to beat someone who was out of it physically. But I had to take advantage of some of the shots that were given to me. There were a few weak second serves that I pounced on for a winner. I felt bad for doing it but I had to because I wanted to be aggressive. I won the match 6-0, 6-0.

I am gearing up for the a tennis tournament in Austin on March 18th through the 20th. I have been look for a hotel room for myself (and possibly "The Greek") but everything is booked solid in the downtown area because of the SXSW (South by Southwest) Music Festival. I contact the tournament directors and they will be providing some hotel information by the end of the week. I am not sure whether or not they will be reserving a block of rooms or what, but I have been looking for an alternative plan just in case.

There is a place called Arboretum, which is 20 minutes north of downtown Austin, that has some rooms available. This information has give to me by Dan Renzi (as in Real World Miami).
I sent him an email because I remember he did a hotel guide for Austin a while back but I couldn't find the link. The sent me an extensive listing of where and where-not to stay in Austin. I really appreciated him taking the time reply to my e-mail, so a payback I hooked him up with premiere episode of Project Catwalk (UK version of Project Runway). Hopefully he will do a hilarious recap of the episode and give me a shoutout.

Last night I just hung out with the "The Greek" and we ended up abandoning our plans to see a movie (The Family Stone) and just stayed at his place and just talked about a lot of stuff.

Let me pose the this question: How soon is too soon to move in with someone?

I am just wondering because my tentative plan, if things should work out (I'm pessimistic), we could do this in August. We've pretty much came to an agreement that we would like this relationship to last for the long-term. It all seems so fast but this is the most normal relationship I have been in. We actually talk to one another and we're pretty much attached at the hip when we are together. Logically, things seem too fast but it seems to be just right. We talked about where we would like to live in summer of 2007 when he looks for a permanent position at a hospital.

He seems to like Vancouver because Canada has legal gay marriage, which might get overturned if the conservative Canadians win the elections this Monday. We talked about Toronto, which I like because it is close to where I was birthed and were my family currently resides. Montreal was mentioned but it get extremely cold there in the winter. Australia was mentioned because he is confident that he can get a job there with out an problem. And also London was mentioned because they just allowed gay civil unions with all the benefits of marriage. He is European but I am not sure if this law would apply to him or immigrants. Plus, you can't have dual citizenship in England so I will have to give up my U.S. citizenship. So if we go to Vancouver in September he will try to schedule some interviews while we are there. He says that he has the potential to make $200,000+ there, so it may be worth looking. Anyway ... I feel silly putting this out in the blogisphere. So...

... enough of that for now.

Other stuff ...

Why is Ciara trying to be Janet?
You are not Janet, Ciara.

I have to go work early because I have to attend a presentation on a new content management system that is being implemented. I will be staying up late to watch Serena William play her match, so I will be going to be at 12:30am at the lastest.

After work tomorrow I am going to meet up with The Greek for dinner and a movie. TransAmerica is opening tomorrow so I think we will see that.

I Had A Dream ...

... last night were I woke up late and rushed to get ready for work, only to find out that my office was closed due to the holiday. After the drive back from work, I returned home to what an unspecified gay channel ... only to have my parents enter start to question my choice of television program.

But it was all a dream .. or was it. I was sure that I had to go in today for work, but that dream put some doubt in my mind. I logged onto our company employee website and checked our holiday calendar -- indeed, we didn't have the day off. So I began my normal workday ritual: 20 minute shower, moisturize while watching television, trying on several outfits before making my final decision, showing up 10 minutes late for work. I am so good at what I do, they don't mind me being a bit late. I ended up getting an award for "excellence" for the month of December. I was recognized by getting a pin to wear and my name listed in a mass e-mailng. It's nice to be recognized.

I am trying to prepare for my tennis league tomorrow. There are somethings I want to work on to help improve my game. My goals for tomorrow:

1) Keep my server double faults to a minimum.
2) Keep my feet moving.
3) Follow through on my backhand and forehands.
4) Be aggressive on second service returns.
5) BE AGGRESSIVE!

I will post the results of my match when I get home tomorrow.
Wish me luck!

By the way ... here is the shirt I got yesterday from Urban Outfitters

What do you think?

Summary

I was watching Venus lose in the first round of the Australian Open, and it is now 11:15pm. I am going to bed in about 20 minutes so I will just sum up what happened over the past few days.

Thursday: I met up with "Southern-femme" (SF) for a movie but ended up getting stuck in traffic for 45 minutes following a car accident. I was still able to make the movie on time, I just wasn't able to go shopping. Match Point was a very good film and I recommend it. Did tell SF of my intentions because we got caught up talking about the movie. I planned on send him an email explain my thoughts, but that was a horrible idea. So I will meet up with him again and I will have to tell him.

Friday: I FINALLY went to the gym and did about and hour of cardio. I am taking it slowing and planning lifting weights again in about 3 weeks. I had an half day of work so I just hung around the house until The Greek and I went to go King Kong at that evening (another film I recommend). Eventhough it was almost 3 hours long my attention was never pulled from the film. The Greek and I talked and I didn't get home until 1:30am.

Saturday: I played tennis with some people I met through my tennis club. I was really off my game and struggled, but I had fun. Later that evening The Greek and I went out for dinner at Marco's (the restaurant were we first met) and it was SO crowded. After dinner we walked around to find a coffee house to sit and talk but they were full or closed. We went back to his place and talked for a couple of hours about future plans. I was again home by 1:30am.

Sunday: Feeling sick, I woke up around 11am and met up with The Greek for brunch. We went to a place called Cafe Brazil in a section of Dallas called Deep Ellum. We talking while eating when some patrons decided to have bible study at the table next to our booth. It was interesting. After brunch we went to a Mockingbird Station and I was finally able to go to Urban Outfitters to shop. I ended up buying a brown, yellow, and orange stripe Le Tigre Shirt. I am looking to add more brown in my wardrobe ... I think brown is a good color on me. I saw this USB turnable that Michael was looking for, so I decided to give him a call. The Greek was not happy about that. I had to reassure him, again, that Michael and I are just friends. We stopped by his new apartment complex where we ended up looking at a 2 bedroom apartment, you know ... just in case. I will be homeless in August so if things work out we may move in together. But that is months away so this is not set in stone.

I finally got back home 4 hours later, and I began to feel sick again. I been taking it easy and lying in bed watch the Australian Open. My tennis league starts on Tuesay and I want to be 100 percent.

That's about it.

Coupling

The Greek and I met up for dinner this past Tuesday, and it felt nice to be back on good terms with him. We went to a Chinese restaurant called Panda on Cedar Springs Road (the gay area) that was really good. I have been looking for a good Chinese restaurant in Dallas since I got here but most of the restaurants are in the North Dallas Area. But I digress ...

We conversed while eating with bits of benign and serious conversation. He told me that he thought about me while he was away in Miami (getting tan, walking on the beach and swimming in the ocean). He mostly talked about me and questioned my honesty. He says that most gays are sketchy, and I seemed too genuine so I was hard to believe.

Um, Thanks?!?

I understood what I he was trying to say, it just wasn't coming out right. He mentioned that he was going to be moving in a month to a bigger apartment, which I that was great. I don't really like his current apartment ... too small for me (us?). We continued to talk until a customer was seated behind him and he became somewhat self-conscious with this person being within an earshot, so was left and continued the conversation at his place.

This was my second visit to his apartment, and I didn't like it the first time. This time it did feel like the small studio apartment ... it felt larger somehow. We talked some more and during the course of our conversation he mentioned that I might be "out of his league" in terms of looks. What is the normal response/reaction to some saying you are handsome? I just smiling with really acknowleding the compliment a good reaction? He asked me to rate him from a scale from 1 to 10, but I refused. I can't assign a value to someone because I find that I have a transitive attraction to people. For instances, Michael (yes, I am bringing him up again) is someone I wasn't initially attracted but after talking with him for a month or so that all changed. I told The Greek that I found him attractive and wasn't going to equate that with an arbitrary value. He seemed pleased with that response.

After more talking ... he gave me several proposals: a trip to Florida in June to visit the beaches along the Florida pan handle; a trip to San Francisco in September to tag along while he is at a conference; and a trip to Vancouver, British Columbia to coincide with San Francisco trip because is he is considering moving there. I am down for the trip to Florida because I would get to a chance to see a good friend of mine who lives in Tallahassee. San Francisco and Vancouver, BC trips are a maybe due to my crippling fear of flying. He offered to give me a Xanax to calm my nerves ... what a guy, huh? But I let him know that all my decisions are tentative because we may not even be dating by time June rolls around. But as of now ...

... we are dating.

My first major task as a non-single person it to help The Greek move. I am trying to convince him to just burn all his stuff and start from scratch, but that doesn't seem feasible.

I wasn't sure about the whole relationship thing until I was seated across from him in the Chinese restaurant. It just felt nice. I am seeing a movie (Match Point) with the Southern/Femme guy today and I have to break it to him that I am now off the market. I wondering how he will take it?

Other stuff ...

For some reason I have been wanted to get an Bolivian soccer warm-up jacket. I don't know why, I just do. I am going to head over to Urban Outfitter before the movie because it in the same complex and see if they have one, or something similar. If I buy anything I will post of picture of my purchase. I am looking for a cool zip-up jacket.

Decisions

Just a short post for today.

Tomorrow I am meeting up with The Greek because he is returning from his vacation in Miami. I am not sure how things will go, because I haven't really made a decision on us. So I will see how thing go tomorrow to figure out which direction I will take.

Other things ...

I decided to apply for a new job here in Dallas. If the job is offered to me, it would mean a increase in salary. If the company environment is as good as the one I am with, I will not accept the job. But I am jumping ahead of myself ... I have to get an interview first.

I decided to get my TiVo service back because I miss the smoothness of interface and the ability to: transfer recorded shows to my computer, schedule recordings from the internet, and the ability have my shows record AS SCHEDULED. So far I am enjoying it again and have already created a few season passes. All the shows I like to watch will go on my TiVo for all of the good reasons I have already stated.

My computer gear arrived from CompUSA today. I got a refurbished Netgear MR814 Router and two Netgear MA111 USB Wireless Adapters for $38. The store was having an awesome clearance sale that I had to jump on. I've been promising a wireless network for my sister's house since September, so I finally decided to make good on that promise. I am using on wireless adapter for my TiVo since I let housemate borrow my other wireless adapter.

So that is about it. I have do this presentation for work tomorrow during our "daily committment" meetings. I did it 2 months ago and it was relatively painless, but I want to get this over with. I have been going over my script so I can get familiar with the words. I just hope I don't stutter when I read.

My Big Fat Greek ... Partner?

This past Tuesday, I met up with The Greek for dinner. My kind gesture of sending him a New Year greeting made come around and see that I wasn't a bad guy.

I showed up to the restaurant on time, because I know he would have been pissed if I were late. I told him I would meet him there around 7pm. I try not to speak in absolutes in case something goes wrong. When I arrived he was pacing while waiting for me, but he could have just gotten out of his car. We said hello to each other but there seemed to be a lot of tension. We walked into the upscale but reasonable priced sports bar and took our seat at a booth (they tried to seat us at a table but I was having none of that).

The conversation started off easily with basic pleasantries: how have I been?; how's work going? what have you been up to?. So after all that good stuff, we got down to what we really wanted to talk about ... what happened exactly happened on December 17, 2005.

He said the reason that he didn't return any of my messages is because the was furious with me after standing him up. I told him that I explained exactly what happened in numerous unreturned e-mails and phone calls. He told me that got them all but didn't listen to messages on his answering machine or read the emails because he was upset. We were just friends at that point so why was he so upset?

It's because he thought differently, and it is because the day prior I told him about my relation with Michael. So that coupled with me showing up late set him off. He still doesn't believe that I showed up to the theater that day or looked for his car ... but I did. So I asked why didn't he just tell me about this two weeks ago, he responded that he couldn't because he was too upset (I'm sensing a theme). Which, for me, is an unacceptable excuse. I told him of my frustrations with people who refuse to talk when you are tying to make every effort. I also told him that I would rather have some tell me that they didn't want to be around me, rather than having try to figure what was their problem with me.

He finally told me that he didn't hate me. In fact, he really liked me which is why he was very upset when I [allegedly] stood him up. He mentioned that he told me that he had a luncheon that noon which is why he didn't get my phone message, and that he told me about it when he dinner. I didn't recall this fact. I question him about this and he said that he was sure that he told me. I didn't recall any conversation (jumping ahead: I found an email with this information and it indeed said he had plans at noon. I have since apologized). So we cleared the air about everything and agreed to start from scratch.

We ate while conversing, and began asking me questions. I am usually the person who does the least talking, and he has said on numerous occasions that I don't talk much. And it is true because I am more of a listener. I have always him that if he wants to know something about me, all he had to do is ask. He seemed happy with all the personal information I gave him that evening, as did I. Some, if told to others, would cause a scandal. So I will refrain from divulging the detail of this conversation.

During the course of dinner he said that the next relationship have to last 3-5 years, minimum. Even thought I like this guy, I find the idea of a long-term relationship scary. Within the past year people I know three people who ended long-term relationships that lasted between 5 and 10 years. This is something that I would like to have (a long-term relationship) but I don't know if I could do it. I enjoy my alone time.

Okay, let's say if I got serious with The Greek.

The pluses: he's a nice guy who (for some reason) finds me attractive; he is a doctor; I actually like hanging around him.

The minuses: he is not a US citizen so he will have to go back to Greece in 3 years (unless he moves to Canada) to serve in the Greek Army; wants to have a child (not that children are bad, I am just not sure yet); seems to be easily hurt; thinks too far ahead; likes to wear cologne (I hate the smell of cologne and perfume).

I have been thinking about the differences between The Greek and Michael, and I have these weird issues with both of them. I couldn't shake my feelings for Michael even though he ended this and is no longer interest in me (in that way); where as The Greek is VERY interested in me but I am afraid of having the relationship that he wants. I have been thinking about this about for a couple of days now ... and I am thinking of pursuing a relationship with The Greek. I am not saying I will be committing myself to him for the next 3 years but we could start off slow and discussion a more serious relationship after a while. I can't think of a good reason I shouldn't.

What do y'all think? Input would be helpful ... leave a comment.

New Year's Weekend

[I am writing this entry from the Dallas-Fort Worth Airport because I am picking up my housemate from the airport. I never been inside of the airport, but it is very similar to the airport in Buffalo. Do most airport resemble each other? I don't know because I don't fly much. I left my house at 8:40pm and I didn't get back home until 11:50pm because they lost my housemate's bag. Well, they didn't lose it. They just failed to put it on the conveyor belt with the rest of his stuff. It was too late to finish this post, so I am posting it now.]

Anyway...

This weekend was fun. This was the second long weekend in two weeks and I end up just lying around in bed and being a bum. I don't like to do much during my vacation time because it is my time off of work. And basically, I lead a generally boring life.

This past Friday I went to see The Producers with this guy I have been hanging out with for a couple of weeks. I got out of work at noon, and I met up with him at a new restaurant in my area. We had lunch and conversed, and it was fun. I paid this time because he paid for dinner the week before, and I wanted to be fair. After lunch we headed to the theater, he got bought the tickets, and we headed in the theater. It turned out that we was so early that we walked in during the end credits of the movie and there were only two people inside. The credits ended, the two people left, and we ended up being the only people in the theater. It was uncomfortable. He was making advances but I was trying to laugh them off as if he were joking. But he was serious. People slowly trickled into the theater until the movie start time. The previews started and I was tuned out everyone around me.

I don't know why, but I MUST see the Dream Girls movie. The movie hasn't started filming but they have a trailer in the theaters. The trailer consist of three girls wearing blue sequined dresses moving around while Jennifer Holiday's version of "And I Am Telling You" ending with girls in a diva-like pose. It was awesome. I really hope that the "acting" abilities of Beyonce Knowles won't ruin the movie for me.

I thought the movie was good. But is it possible to enjoy the movie but hate the stars? I absolutely hated Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick is movie. There was entirely too much mugging and overacting from these two. It seems as though they just brought the same performance from the Broadway stage onto the big screen. You can't do that. On stage you are trying to emote so that you can reach the people in the back-row, but in on big screen the performances should have been more subtle. I am not sure how Nathan Lane got nominated for a Golden Globe for this performance.

That notwithstanding, I would have enjoyed the movie more if the person who accompanied me wasn't trying to grope me. I spent the entire movie squeezed next to my right arm rest because the guy I was with kept trying to grab me. I am not against touching in a theater, but if I am pulling away from you that means that I am not interested. The guy didn't get the hint. The movie ended, and we proceeded to our cars. We talked about the movie during the walk and we reached our vehicles I gave him a handshake and I was on my way. He is a nice guy, but I am not attracted to him at all. He will just end up being a movie buddy.

Saturday I just stayed in did nothing. I watched all four season of Mr. Show with Bob and David on DVD, went out for McDonald's after watching Super Size Me (even though I thought it would have the opposite effect). I got a call from Michael asking what I planned on doing for New Year Eve and I told him of my lazy plan. It seemed like he wanted me to join at a party being put on by his friends. After explaining that I just planned to stay in because I didn't want to be on the road, I was never asked.

I ended up doing laundry to make sure all my clothes were clean because the new year. In my house, you were forbidden to wash on New Year Day. I am not sure why, you just weren't. I always thought it was silly and questioned my mom about it but I never got a straight answer. I was told it was something her mother told her, and she was just passing it down. Just like not allowing hat to lay on a bed ... but I guess that had to due more with bad luck. Even though I find no logic about washing on New Year Day, I still don't do it by habit. I am scared what would happen if I did. I don't watch to find out. After my all my clothes were fluffed and folded, I got back into bed to watch some TV.

I watched Dick Clark on ABC, and it was frightening. It wasn't due to the sight of Dick Clark post-stroke, but it was due to Mariah's tacky outfit. I swear, her stylist must hate her. It was visibly cold outside and she is wearing this short gown showing all kinds of skin while her background dancers, DJ, and 2/3 of the Lox wear bundled up. Pourquoi, Mariah? You have a ton of money ... why do you dress the way you do? The ball dropped in NYC at 11pm CST and I turned the channel. Happy New Year.

The first day of 2006 began like any other, I woke around 9am and lounged in bed until 11am. I got a call from Michael at 11:30am to see if I wanted to play tennis; I did. I met him at his place around 2pm and we headed to a nearby court. He beat me, again -- but it was a good match. My serve was back and I got 4 aces. We only played tennis and then I dropped him off and headed back home. I showered, made dinner and heading back to the coziness of my bed and watched The L Word marathon on Showtime. The show is about lesbians but it is much better written than Queer as Folk (where the central characters are gay men). I watched until about 1am and I was off to bed.

Today was alright. I went out for a bit, ate MORE McDonald's. It is only the second day in the new year and I am already breaking one of my resolutions. I have to get my diet back together. It seriously fell off since I started graduate school. I went 2 years eating fast food like 4 a year, now it is at least once a week. I am going to start bring my own lunch to work because the stuff I get isn't healthy at all. I can save some money and get food that is fresh and good. It's win-win. At the end of the year, I will see how the diet has changed.

... I have to get back down to my stripper weight.

New Year Resolutions for 2006

1. Blog more - I have a lot of thoughts but I never seem to manage to type them up. I will try to make more of an effort to blog more.


2. Get tattoo - I am still designing it, and I am not sure where to put it.


3. Make it past the first round in a (singles) tennis tournament


4. Get in shape by actually going to the gym and cut down eating (delicious) fatty food from McDonalds and other fast food place.


5. Find an apartment that is close to work when my roommate moves back to Canada


6. "Come out" to mom and dad - I think it is about time.


7. Watch every Mystery Science Theater 3000 episode - With over 120 episodes at 85 minutes each, it will take me the entire year to get through them all. I own all the episodes but only watched 40 of them.


8. Watch all three seasons of Nip/Tuck - I heard a lot of good things about the show but I didn't have the FX Network at the time.

So here is my list of things to do this year. It is kind of frivolous, but I don't have much heavy stuff to do this year. I could put "Look for a life partner" on the list but I don't want to put something that important on a list like this. It will happen, when it happens.

In my never ending effort to be a good person, I sent The Greek a message for New Year's. I got a reply back saying that he was sorry for the way he over-reacted. I guess that is progress, but I would never date him ... maybe he could be a movie buddy.
