a blog is born

i went on a date this week with someone i met online. it was pleasant enough. i had a beer and ate some spaetzel. he told me about his cholesterol and his former girlfriend. on my way home, i wondered if it was worth trying to see him again, give it the college try, see if time results in like. the wondering was in vain. i got an email the next day that floored me in its inanity. it spurred me to start this blog where people can post the ridiculous disses sent their way, whether love-related or job-related or whatevs; the world of stupidity is vast. so, i kick it off with his note, and encourage you to share yours too when and if they come your way:


Hi Jane Doe,
Just wanted to say that I enjoyed my time last evening. But I don't think this will evolve into a meaningful relationship. Time being our most valuable asset in life, I hope you did not feel last evening was a total waste of it.
Sincerely,
John Blow

Here's one from someone who I found out went on a first date with someone else TWO nights after he wrote this...

hi Jane Doe,

I hope you are well. I wanted to let you know that I am not up to going forward with this right now. I realize as I begin dating again that I am not ready - that my last
break up was just too recently and that I am not fully mended. I really enjoyed meeting you and sorry to have misled you by thinking I was somewhere where I wasn't quite yet.

Joe Blow
