Over the course of the past couple of months, I have been able to take a step back and take a look at my life. I have a better grasp of who I am and what I will and will not tolerate in a relationship. One of my good friends is fond of saying "It is better to be alone than to wish you were alone." I have decided I need to focus on a second career rather than work on relationships right now. I don't think being on an episode of Jerry Springer or Maury Povich would be the boost my second career needs.
All I really want to do is write. I have an intriguing opportunity to write professionally (at least semi-professionally because it would have to be done on the side). This opportunity comes in the form of writing about sports which would/should be a dream job for me. The particular sport I would be writing about is hockey which is great but I do not know the ins and the outs of hockey like I do the other professional sports. This could work to my advantage as I could possibly give the viewpoint from a novice fans perspective.
I have come to the realization over the course of the past couple of months that my writing is horrible and needs more help than electric shock could even give it. No one pays attention to my sports blogs, my claim to writing "fame" is "the Date Manifesto" and "That Guy". Those blogs get more attention than anything else I do. Most of that attention comes from ex-girlfriends disputing everything that I write because they think the blog is about them. Maybe I should write the male version of Ann Landers except give sleazy advice. That might actually be something I am good at.
