I am SO SORRY for posting that drunken rant last night.

I'd get rid of it if I could. Don't know whether to laugh or cry. Jeebus. Forgive me? :blush:

Seriously, that's wonderful.

Hope you feel better this AM, though.

:hug: :D

No, I don't think so! but thanks. Yes, I feel great today, having purged myself in Freudian fashion last night. Ugh.

:)

that any time I post something like that, I have drunken as an excuse. :rofl:

I thought it was most excellent, and your last line was quite poetic!

I think you should do that sort of thing more often, honestly...

:hug:

:) I'm pretty sure poetry isn't my thing. I literally woke up this morning and thought *SHIT!!! I posted that on DU!!!*

Where is the male spirit of good heart and wise learning and hard body who can bear to love the lines around my eyes?

I am a poet, and I know poetry when I see it!

And it's a beautiful line, sweetie...

:hug:

I thought it was beautiful. Like you, my friend. :hug: :loveya:

I've missed you and it's my own dang fault for not being in the right time zone. :(

:hug:

:loveya:

:*

In vino, veritas! ;-)

You should do drunk-posting more often... :P

:hug:

I missed it last night, but this post made me go find it.

Probably one of the best rants I have ever read on DU!!

is that you even feel bad about the really good stuff. And that was really good.

Laugh or cry? You can do both!

:hug:

Don't be too embarrassed --laugh it off.

:shrug:

We met last night. You were wonderful and incredibly insightful on a genius level.
:hi:

My only complaint is that it wasn't formatted as poetry. :-)

:)

That spoke to me, crim son. I read your post after being unequivocally dumped in a painful afternoon of emails after only the day before being told in person with much caressing and not a little semen-drenching how much I was loved and needed. I didn't get drunk, but I screamed a howling cry or three (you can do that when you live in rural splendour, and not bring the neighbours or cops to your door) I creased deeper the lines around my own eyes and howled and some of my howl was echoed in your post.

The quest for love and sex, love and sex with one person, dammit. It burns.

was drunken locker-room humor).

It definitely raised the bar for future ranters around here...

I understand about apologizing for a drunken rant, but really, it was brilliantly written, and even California Peggy who has become a really fucking good poet thinks so. It doesn't even matter that I read it as a 50+ man who doesn't fall into that stereotype about always lusting after the younger women while ignoring the older experienced ones; the feelings were raw and true to yourself. I hope you continue to write, drunk or not; you have some serious talent even if you don't think so. BTW, I put in the part about myself not looking for the younger women in hopes of reminding you that there are plenty of men my age who want someone with "lines around their eyes" ,wisdom and life experiences in common etc. After being dumped ( by someone about my age ) about a year ago, I'm about ready to get back into the dating world ( god/goddess/flying spaghetti monster help me) including through internet singles sites, and am only looking for women in their 40's and 50's. There's a lot of us out there like this, crim son, and I wish you the best in finding a good man who deserves you.

for more than a couple of us that have experienced relationship "issues" this year. You said a few things much more eloquently than I could earlier this year when all I wanted to scream was, "fuck you, only douchebags hide behind an email breakup!" Now that I've said it, I feel better, but I wish I'd been more stingingly witty or wistfully verbose....but that's not me right now.

I hate the feelings that I dredge up this time each year....and likely you're feeling the same. However, we get to look forward to 2010 - a whole new decade. Take care and thanks for your 'rant'....I enjoyed it.

not a damn thing to apologize for
not
a
damn
thing.

I loved it!
