My Life in Mid-July

So, back to the blog, I guess. Haven't posted in a while, but it's been pretty hum drum around here. It's been blazing hot here in Minnesota, so that has kind of sucked. I have been having fun in my Camaro, of which I have talked about earlier. Also, I don't know if I've discussed this before, but a group of my friends from college and high school have gotten into dancing. Swing dancing to be exact. We go every Thursday night, to these caves in St. Paul, which are actually a sort of dance hall. They have a big band, and a dance floor, and all these people come and swing. And holy crap, it is a buttload of fun. Like, all I can think about is dancing now. I want to practice moves, and learn new styles, and just go dance. I don't know, I find a certain joy in it that is very hard to explain. I just love the grace, and the "cool" factor. But, I don't think I go to be cool. I go because I love it. So, I took a girl out on a "date" to go see Revenge of the Sith tonight. I suppose it was a date, we both dressed up, I picked her up and paid for her ticket. I don't know, the girl situation is complex about now. Very hard to explain. It's like, all these women are swirling around me, and both are appealing in certain ways. It's very confusing, and I feel a lot of pressure upon me to be in a relationship. One of my good friends has recently acquired a girlfriend, and has become a bit consumed with her. That and the combination of other friends of mine in relatively stable relationships definitely has me feeling a certain sort of push. But you know, I don't know, it doesn't bother me really. This sounds terrible, but I'm not envious of my friend's relationships. I could never imagine myself in a relationship like they ones they are in. I don't know, it just seems so formal. Like, I want a girl who wants to discuss why Qui-Gon's ghost isn't in Episode III, or finds it enjoyable to go swing dancing and just look dumb, and not even care. I think I just need to focus on creating strong friendships with the females that I am interested in. A strong friendship is always the best foundation for anything, and plus, it just gives you that much more support and love. I don't know, in one situation, it's a girl that has had a past quite different from mine, in terms of experiences, and such. But I feel very strongly for her. But then again, she has her own boy situations. So, I don't know, I just want to be there for her right now, and not complicate her life further. I think that should be my motto. I just don't want to complicate things right now. And people give me crap for it, but whatever. Anyways, I've also been thinking a lot about old friends, and wondering how they're doing. I have a buddy working as a counselor at a church camp whom I haven't seen, so I've been wondering how she's been doing, and how the summer is, etc, etc, etc. I have lots of friends around here who just work all the freaking time, so I wonder how they are. I don't know, work is fine, and money is good, but if you get too caught up in it, it just sort of makes your life miserable. Anyways, I'm off to bed.
