Getting it off my chest

[Paul]

Nice photo there Timmy.   Anyone you know?

[Timmay]

NO but I think we are all about to "know him"

[J Digory]

Well, I don't really know how I missed this thread or the antagonistic posts...but Vash doesn't seem like he's being "emo" to me. And he didn't really come across as saying he was really wondering why the world wouldn't see past his fashion sense.

Vash, man...I can sympathize with your topic because I'm pretty much in the same spot. For the most part I am content in my life and with being single...I'm certainly not depressed about it. But I do find some longing...some days more than others. Longing for a woman to share my life with, not just a bed.
And for the record, I don't think Vash's feelings were hurt by Tanizaki at all. As much as he was trying to be rude, it mostly came across as a bitter kid trying to make other people feel as small as he does. It is good to know we don't have to rely on the thoughts of any actual women but can instead trust in the ever potent knowledge and wisdom of our in-house master of Women's Studies.

Slinging hash and living in someone's basement does not bring all the girls to the yard. You don't have to be a master of anything to know that.

Well, maybe Vash.

As more clarification seems to be needed. I neither "sling hash" nor "live in someone's basement".

While those have, in fact been prior states of existence for me. Neither is current. The restaurant I work at is actually fairly high end. And while we do offer American fare such as specialty hamburgers, we also offer a very nicely appointed Chicken Marsala, Capalini Del La Casa, Penne Arabiata,  hand cut steaks (featuring a Top Sirloin Au Poive with frsh vegetable and potato du jour) and freshly made soups. We've even won a few local awards for our food.

Though, to be fair, some of my breakfast staff does, in fact "sling hash", literally. A very nice, corned beef hash, made fresh daily. 

I also have an apartment all my own. Which seems fairly self-explanatory.

Just want to keep the discussion current and accurate. 

But, you know what? It doesn't really need to remain current or accurate. While I really appreciate all the constructive input I've gotten in this thread. I think that posting it in the first place was a bit of a mistake as I have simply grown tired of the consistent and willful irritation it seems to produce.

So, if anyone has any other constructive advice or input for me (the guy seeking input and advice) on this topic, please just PM it to me. I started this mess and I'd appreciate it if everyone would just let this thread die off.

I, personally won't be reading it anymore. No harm, no foul, just done with the drama.

Thanks again.

Kudos to you Vash for taking the high road in your response.

Tanazaki, since you've been here, you've claimed to never insulted anyone.
Maybe I'm thinned skinned and Vash is a better man than I am, but I would take the terms you used in reference to my chosen career and living situation as an insult.

One person that I met during my college days that I'll never forget is the brother of an owner of a pizza restaurant that I worked at during the summers of my college days. He was a great guy, treated everyone with respect, had a great sense of humor, lived in an immaculate home (not a mansion, but not a slum home either), had an incredibly gorgeous wife (and I mean GORGEOUS), and played golf twice a week (on weekdays no less). Playing on weekdays and living where he did, you would think he was a high paid executive or was independently wealthy (financially......he was already wealthy to me in other facets of life). Well, he was neither....he was a sanitation worker. Life lesson well learned. Never judge a book by it's cover.

Respectful & happy in life. I still think of this guy (his name is Ron) when I'm going through a difficult spell.

SCHRO....LISTEN UP!  HE ISNT INSULTING...HE IS ANALYZING!  Thats all he does is analyze people.

Pretending to be a man and thinking you're better than you really are doesn't exactly befriend anyone to you. You don't need to be a lawyer, or even claim to be one to know that.

Then again, perhaps it works well for "Tanizaki".

[schro]

Perhaps....but I wouldn't bet on it.

[Timmay]

I think Tan just needs to learn the term....the need to agree to disagree.   Like it was said in another post...its not that we all cant agree on his theories...that stuff happens everyday...he just needs to stop analyzing people...is that were the term ANAL come from?  Can you answer that one straight up Tan or do you need to run to your encyclopedia to find the answer?

Vash, buddy, I'm there with you. It ain't about sex. It's about finding a woman who loves and respects you as much you do her.

I'm 46 (and married) and I haven't found her yet.
