given my past (crappy) experience with eharmony.com, my current (crappy) experience with match.com, and a recent matchmaking attempt by a friend of mine, i’ve been giving some thought to the differences, the pros and cons, of the two methods of ‘meeting someone.’

on the one hand, being setup by a friend has a certain comfort of trust that paid online services might lack. there’s an assumption that the friend-turned-matchmaker has some insight that could prove quite useful as they look for, actively or otherwise, someone with which to match you. in much the same way you might trust a friend not to mess with you while you’re passed out drunk, you’d probably trust them to at least attempt to match you with someone they know…. then again, i definitely have friends with whom i wouldn’t for a second trust with myself were i to pass out in their presence (good thing that’s never happened).

i’ve had difficult as of late trying to do things that i should be doing. its a bit frustrating and i’m not sure how to break out of the rut. i could be doing any number of worth while things in the evening hours after the work day is finished.

clean my room
read the prince
read the news
read various blogs
write on more worth while topics than this post
exercise

grr….

i know i’ve posted about dreams previously, but i feel the need to do so yet again. my facility to remember nightly dreams is so limited, that when i wake with lingering images, sounds, and feelings, i’m always startled and amazed. i had one such dreams several nights ago.

unfortunately a busy schedule and a previously started essay delayed my writing this post and, as such, those images, sounds, and feelings have faded even further into the recesses of my already poor memory.
