Regular readers of this blog know that I give myself token rewards for accomplishing certain tasks on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis. One thing I give myself is a CD for doing things such as getting along with members of my family over a certain period of time, and another thing I will reward myself for consists of not mentioning a certain person on every day of a given month except for the 1st and the 15th. Well, I'm in a bind about that one. Recently I added another reward incentive for not mentioning this person ON the 1st and 15th as well. So, come this September 1st, I have my eye on getting THREE CD's instead of just two. One CD will recognize my efforts to get along with members of my family since the 15th of August, one CD will recognize my efforts to refrain from mentioning a certain person since the 15th, AND, I want an additional CD for not mentioning this person on the 1st of September. The three CD's I want are Days of Future Passed by the Moody Blues, and "Best of.." collections that feature ABBA and Barry White.
But here's the problem: I want to mention this person I've prohibited myself from mentioning this past month. I want to talk about this person really bad. BUT I WON'T DO THAT, because I want that Barry White CD really bad too. Now, earlier today, I thought along the lines of, "Oh fuck it, Barry's cool enough that I might conceivably buy his collection even if I'd never even set up a token reward system, so I'll mention that person on the 1st AND buy the Barry White CD." But then I thought "NO! I know I allow myself leeway to bend the rules, but that's bending them too much. The rules are still the rules, and I want to respect that."
So here goes, the following statement IS NOT ABOUT THIS PERSON AT ALL. I SWEAR. IF THIS PERSON IS READING THIS, THEY CAN JUST LOOK AWAY OR GO SOMEPLACE ELSE ON THE WEB, BECAUSE THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT DOES NOT CONCERN THEM AT ALL AND IS NOT ABOUT THEM IN ANY, WAY, SHAPE OR FORM. ......Here goes.....Okay. I think the Invisible Woman and others want me to feel loved. Now, the Invisible Woman is spoken for, as far as I know, and for all I know, so are ALL of these OTHERS. But nonetheless, I think the Invisible Woman and these others want me to feel appreciated, loved, and understood, no matter their current relationship status. That is all.
