Trials and Tribulations

This page may be a little too late, but!!! It's better late than never! I started this blog in July 2010...it's been an interesting ride so far. It's been fun, hilarious, exciting, sad, challenging and an all around a great learning experience! I'm not necessarily done learning, which isn't a bad thing because I am definitely growing! So, without further ado, following this intro is my very first blog post which sort of sets the mood of what my blog is about. Enjoy!

-----------------------------------------------------------

The past month I've been thinking about writing a blog about all my wonderful dating adventures, and failures. So, today at work after spitting out silly things about my life as a single 20something I decided to start this blog. So! Since there was no line at work I started this lovely blog!

I wanted to title it The Trials and Tribulations of a single 20 something in the crazy 21st, but apparently this place has a limit to a blog title.... what?! I know, crazy!! So, I settled for this instead :) I devote my first post to what this blog was supposed to be called... lets take a moment of silence.

Anyways!
So!! After recently breaking up with my ex I have been on the move, and quite fast too. I seriously told myself that I wouldn't date any one or even think about men for a year... A FUCKING YEAR!?!?!!?!? Who the hell am I kidding! I'm a woman, I've got needs!! Needs I tell ya, needs. Many needs at that!

How does a 20something or 30 something or any something find people to date!?! Yeah I could go to a bar or club or something but really? Nah, I'd rather not fall in love with a crazy drunk or club hopper. In any case, when I do go to bars with my gals, I'm with my gals, I'm not looking for men... oy!

Let me briefly talk about my mother. She is obsessed.... OBSESSED.... with Jdate. Fuckin' JDate!!! "The rabbi gave a sermon the other day and he mentioned that 70% of the marriages he performs are from JDate matches." FUCK THAT SHIT! NO THANK YOU!

I must be honest, I've tried JDate before, I was living in Los Angeles. I dated an actor for 3 months, note to self (and for all of you lovely ladies our there) DO NOT DATE ACTORS. First of all buck-o you met me on our first date, I didn't have someone go pretending to be me, you saw me curves and all. So why? Why I ask you. Why!? After 3 months you dump me because I'm not tall and skinny, I just don't understand!

I actually signed up on JDate that one time as a bet with my mother. If she paid for my subscription and I met my husband then fine, she was right... but if I don't find my husband then leave it fuckin' be. Did she keep her promise? Of course not, she's a jewish mother for gods sake!

So, since being single I had many arguements with my mother about this whole JDate bullshit and i refuse to join again.. refuse!

But, of course I gave into the online dating world. While I still have this dream that I'll meet my future husband in some magical way .... a way that will be a great story for my kids and grand kids, i feel that in today's technology filled world, it's just not possible. So, I gave into the whole online dating thing... shh, please don't tell my mother, I don't want to make her happy :)

Of course I want to make my mother happy, I just don't want her nagging me because we all know she will. It's just how jewish mothers work. Unfortunately I'll probably be like that one day too, that is if i ever meet my future husband. Instead I might just bug the 40 cats I'll be living with :)

So, I signed up to OKcupid.. its a free dating site... so far I've been on 2 dates from that site, and boy were those dates interesting!! I won't dive into them in this post, I think they both deserve their own posts.

So, there ya have it, my intro to this wonderful blog.

My goals for this blog are (but not limited to):
1. Writing about my wacky dates
2. Writing about my desperation in finding this future husband
3. How much I hate my dreamy way of thinking
4. Bitch about men
5. Bitch about the society we live in and how fuckin hard it is to find some1 real

Thats for now.

btw, I'm so desperate that when my coworker was on his way to grab a snack and asked a few of us if we needed anything i said i needed a husband. Mostly because this dude is fuckin hilariously awkward i wanted to see what he'd say. He said he'd try and find an old rich man for me. Unfortunately when he got back he came alone.... sigh...

So! I hope you enjoy this blog as much as I will/do!

Let the games begin bitches!!!
Operation find future husband commences!!!!!
