Lesson learned........craigslist is a great place to find bargains, but a pain in the ass to sell. It shouldn't be that difficult, and many times it is not, but today it is.
So I am cleaning out my house and getting rid of all the clutter. I hate having too much stuff around me. Stuff just makes me feel nervous. Everything should have a purpose. If I don't use it, or it doesn't benefit me in someway, it should probably go to someone that will appreciate it more, right?
Anyway.....about craigslist. One thing you will learn if you start selling on there, is approx 75% of the people that will call you about something will flake out. People like to say they are going to show up, even go as far as setting up an appointment, and then fail to show. So, in essence, you feel a little bit like a slave to the craigslist system.
For example, right now, I am waiting for some dude to come pick up a stupid computer keyboard that my ex left here. I don't want it. I honestly didn't think it would sell and am surprised someone called me about it. I was asking $10. He offered $5 because it was missing some interface (it is a wireless). I told him to come over and get it. He said he will be here at 5pm and DON'T sell to anyone else. Okay sir.
So here we are.......it is 5:05pm and I am patiently waiting for this guy. I know, I know, it is only 5 minutes, but I have stuff to do. I want to change out of my work clothes, put on something normal for me, and get some work done around here. I just know the moment I drop my drawers, this dude is going to ring the doorbell. Things always work like that.
So for $5, some asshole has me by the balls. LOL That sounds bad. Sometimes it just ain't worth it.
So after my break-up with Valerie, I start freaking out a little. Mind you I said "A LITTLE." The thing is, when you are used to talking to someone everyday, and all of a sudden that human interaction is pulled away from you, you start feeling that emptiness and void in your heart. Like you just lost someone. Only, it isn't even like a loss, it was more of a "diss." They don't want to see you again.
So I am feeling I am guessing what they call, "the rebound" effect. This is the feeling right after you get dumped that you are scrambling for that reassurance that someone wants to hang out with you and love you. Well, yeah, I felt that. So my dumbass is all over the net......I am scoping out chicks on Plenty of Fish and Match.com. POF is free, so I did make a profile on there. I think I had it up for 5 days.
The thing that you realize after about two weeks of being single is that it really is nice not to have to answer to anyone. When I had this POF profile, sure, some girls wrote me. You never REALLY get to know them that well. I definitely didn't meet anyone in person. I started asking myself, "do I really want to put myself through all of that again? Things never work!" Then I asked myself this: "What is more important, companionship or freedom?" Cause there is only ever one or the other from my experience. You either spend your time getting to go do the things you want to do, and work on the projects that you want to work on, and complete the goals that you have, or you can give all of that up, and try to make your life mesh with the woman's life.
So, basically what I am saying is, the longer I am single, the more I get used to it, and the more I like it.
