| Wednesday June 19th 2002 As of yesterday, my site is mysteriously inaccessible through the firewall at work. Thus, I was faced with no choice but to finally get hooked up to the internet at home - and here I am. Why exactly my site has become 'forbidden' I'm not sure. I don't think I picked on Jean Chretien lately (loose reference to Ottawa Citizen editor, wink wink). I don't think there's a single curse word on the entire site. I suppose there is that one link to the exotic dancer in California who I mentioned in passing one day, but you'll have to a look a long, long, long time to find it ( I can hear the guys' mice clicking already... ). Now that I have home access again, consequently my Yahoo e-mail account is open for business. All you people who were dying to make contact may now feel free to do so. I know there are hordes of you. It will take me some time to reply to everyone, so please be patient. On a similar note: I discovered an email from Dad warning me not to talk about women in my life so much, else they'll have nothing to do with me for fear I'll expose their personal lives on my internet site. What can I say - he's right! Why do you think I'm such a great listener? A writer has to get his material from somewhere! And that really nasty female character in the book I'm trying to publish - the resemblance is purely coincidental. Honest! On a more serious note, for women I've met or will meet who may have a genuine concern, now and in future: I don't use anyone's real name here. I don't slander anybody, except in kidding, and I'd only dare do that if I knew them well enough to be confident they'll take it as the joke that it is. Besides, I actually can't think of anybody in the world I've met on a personal level who I severely don't like, so that makes it pretty easy. Except for the bully who picked on me in sixth grade. That guy's a jerk. If I'm fortunate enough (hopefully in the near future) to develop a truly cloes relationship, all you'll get about it here is the general idea, folks. I'm not a 'kiss and tell' kind of guy. There's plenty of other internet sites for people who want to read that stuff. Umm ... not that I know any off the top of my head .... me? ... naw. It's even possible this site is just a way of reducing the lonliness until I find Miss Right, and then I don't bother with it anymore. We'll see. |
