ex-Thinker

Elusive, rare, scarce, sparse, exceptional...all words that can be used to describe the 'one that got away'. Its the New Year and as with all New Years, one turns to abit of reminiscing and starts reviewing the year gone past, and before you know it your reviewing your whole life, your whole damn life. "Regrets I've had a few"...bollox to that...regrets I've had a barn full. The ones that stick out the most are mostly women I broke up with. I think this is a normal male thing to do when he finds himself single with no lines of inquiry for future women. There is one in particular, a girl I was going out with when I was in college in Ucc, by jove she was awesome, tanned, smart, hot as hell (experiencing an area of high pressure that probably going to be around until Saturday when a low pressure area will come sweeping in from the west) and I, younger I, decided to break up with her because she was too clingy, What! WHAT! was I thinking, shes gone on to do medicine and is probably helping save lives in some foreign land. Its nice to think that if I'd chosen to stay with her that life would be 'neutral' right now, what I mean by neutral is that we'd have the apartment together, maybe even a dog and life would be comfortable like an old armchair that envelopes your form perfectly so that you don't have to fidget to get comfortable, you just are. But these are only dreams and ideals, only a utopian version of life that can only ever survive in the safety of your imagination where it is protected from all the harsh realities of the reality itself. Still though its nice to think along those lines sometimes. New Years Resolution: lessen the amount of ones that get away because of foolish decisions. and give up smoking...
