As Far as The Eye Can See . . .

t seems that everyone I know is part of a couple. I just spent the night being a fifth wheel to two very awesome couples. This after spending the weekend being a fifth wheel to two other very awesome couples. And, of course, attending the wedding of one of my very best friends. Not fun, man. Not fun.

For years, for as far back as I can remember, my only real unfulfilled desire has been evidenced by the complete and utter lack of a significant other. And this feeling has never been more pronounced than this Fourth of July weekend.

But it's also been a while since I've had such a good weekend - not since Memorial Day. What does that say? I don't know. I guess that I'm alright, despire the lack of a girlfriend. And I've never realized how many friends I have scattered across the country. I'm reminded of a quote from The Simpsons. I'll paraphrase: "I know I have a lot of money, Smithers, but I'd trade it all for a little bit more."

Maybe I'm just selfish. But it's hard to remember that when I'm surrounded by friends I haven't seen in years or friends I see every day and I can still only think about what I'm missing.

More on the wedding tomorrow.

It may help to evaluate why you're single. You're certainly not unattractive or uncharismatic. Have you just missed it when you've been hit on by hot chix, or are you holding out for The Perfect Girl (tm)? Would having a girlfriend require you to let go of other things that you're holding on to?

I'm certain this doesn't help much. I'm single because I'm apparently bitter and certainly extremely picky. Neither one can be filed under "good." :\
