Still Here…

Sorry that my last post alarmed some of you, but this isn’t a political blog, it just looks like one sometimes.  It’s just one guy’s little life blog…my small corner of the Internet when I can put up my cartoons and photography and write about this and that so family and friends can see what I’m up to.  Life isn’t all wonder and joy, and I was very depressed when I wrote that.  Thank you, those of you who write, for your kind words of encouragement.  I think I’m over the worst of it now.

And I believe I understand better now, why I got so terribly down, and I’m working on a post about that.  But for the record I took a brief weekend trip back down to Epcot a couple weekends ago and managed three things.  First, I enjoyed the Epcot Food & Wine Festival immensely.  Really…the food at all the little nation kiosks was fabulous.  Second, I managed to drive past Hilton Head without so much as phoning my ex.  I’m not over him so much as I understand better now why I need to keep my distance from him.  It’s worse when they still want to be friends.  There was no lover’s quarrel…I just got dumped but he still wants me to come around his way whenever I’m down there and it isn’t good for me to do that.  I’m fifty-six years old and I’m only now learning lessons about dating and boyfriends I should have learned when I was a teenager.

Thirdly, I got to see a certain someone down in Florida this time around, that I didn’t last time.  It cheered me up a lot. 

As I said, I have a post I’ve been working on I want to put up here, before I resume regular blogging.  In the meantime, I’ve been chattering away on Facebook, so you can look for me there if you want.

[Update…]  I’ve pulled that post for the time being.  My blog is a place for me to think out loud, vent, thump my pulpit…and even occasionally bleed in public.  Just not too much.

    I came across your website accidenntally a while ago and periodically look and each time i read it the more pathetic it is
    Here is what you need to do….Turn off the computer, get out into the real world and close down the virtual world forever, Stop leaving in the past, and don’t depend on others to make you happy you have to do it on your own. Your 56 not 16 so grow up, cut your hair (makes you look 70 plus)..  Also wondering if your Ex knows you talk about him on the web….There is a huge world out their explore it, stop going to Disney land since it is a dream world, a fantasy, and if you still continue to go there, take another route away from Hilton Head or aroun it but seriously stay off the net there is a world outside of BruceGarrett.com

    Hey…that you lonernomore1…?

    I came across your website accidenntally a while ago and periodically look and each time i read it the more pathetic it is

    And yet you keep coming back.  So who’s more pathetic here?

    …but seriously stay off the net there is a world outside of BruceGarrett.com

    Doctor heal thyself. 

    If you think I don’t get out much in the world beyond my computer and Disney World then you haven’t read much of this blog beyond the posts where I vent about being lonely.  There’s a bunch of stuff here about my road trips and my life in general plus all the political stuff, plus the cartoons and photography I put up here, which I couldn’t do if all I ever did was vent about being lonely.  So if all you’re reading here are my writings about loneliness then the one obsessing about it is you.  That because you’re still not over your own?

    And…wow…  Nobody has Ever told me to cut my hair before…   That’s a completely new experience for me.  Really.  I had absolutely no idea that men shouldn’t wear their hair long.  I’m shocked, shocked, to learn this.  Gobsmacked I am.  Astonished.  Flabbergasted.  Let me ponder this new knowledge for a while, and get back to you

    Wlcome back Bruce. I’d have said it sooner but I lost my Internet connection for some unknown reason. My brother tried fixing it last week with no luck, but my nephew fixed it today. It took several hours (including the lunch break.  )
    Don’t let the trolls get to you. That’s what they WANT.

  4. Bruce Says:

    A little analysis of my server logs leads me to believe that the troll is someone who knows me.  Not a friend. but let us say, a "friend" of a friend.  The problem with being the romantic equivalent of a wading pool is you always have to be afraid your catch realizes one day that he’s perfectly capable of swimming. 

    Trolls don’t bother me.  Spammer creeps that keep trying to put their advertisements in my comments bother me, which is why I have moderation turned on.  I’d like to throttle them all.  But trolls don’t bother me…especially ones that do me the favor of letting me know how insecure they are, even though in this one’s case I already knew it when I saw the place settings no one could touch.
