Girls.

girls. for men, these creatures tend to bring our greatest joy and comfort, as well as our greatest failure, loss, and heartache.

with all of the time and energy we spend trying to understand and relate to each other, you would think we'd be successful.

why is it that girls and guys just can't seem to get along. were we fated to misunderstand each other eternally? i mean, even married couples have told me that they haven't begun to understand the members of the opposite sex!

sometimes, it seems to me that we put up with a whole lot of failure and heartache in the vain hope that someday we will find 'that one true love.' now don't get me wrong, i'm not against the idea of beautiful princesses and knights in shining armor. but the probability seems low.

i mean, i've been to the ocean. but i didn't see ariel. i've been to castles, but i never saw belle or rapunzel. i've seen a lot of carpets, but none that could fly. and overall, my hopes of 'a whole new world' have dwindled.

perhaps my story will turn out more like shrek's. you know, everything started out great. he was an ugly guy, even an ogre, but he found himself a beautiful girl. a good girl too! but eventually her association with him turned her ugly. what a shame!

also, with all of this talk i may have depressed you. if so, i do not apologize. sometimes reality does not deserve an apology. also, perhaps i have said something you didn't agree with. that is why there is room for comments after the newsletter.

luckily, because i have warned you, you have no reason to have high hopes. this should help you considerably, because you will not have disappointments.

as they say, shoot for the stars. that way if you miss, you might hit the moon. you get the picture.
