I'm a bit bummed...

I don't fully feel bummed out, but just let down.  Like someone let deflated the bread I like to bake.

Perhaps its due the email correspondence with my friend that went south.

While the falling out of communication might be the number one contributor, it's not personal to this individual.

After all, each of us a freedom to do what we will with things.

If you've read my blog much over the past few years, you'll know that Freedom means a great deal to me.  I suppose you could call me a libertarian.  A person who feels that each person should have their freedom without impinging the freedoms of others.

It's not personal with my friend.

I tell you I was more bummed and upset several months before Ellie and I met.  A gal I had taken on a few dates finally told my roommate that I was "moving too fast"...

HA!

I only wanted to be a friend and enjoy her company.  On our dates, I insisted that I pay for everything involved on a date.  If she wanted to spend her own funds, then she could.

I never thought "what about me"... OR ..."Why do I keep paying?"... OR ???

My intentions were only about enjoying myself on our dates and to have her companionship.

So when I heard that I was "moving too fast", I was aghast!

At work that night, I was talking to my coworker about this and he said that "good ol' boys like us just need to stick together.  We're just a dying breed."

He was right.
