The last 11 years have been hard on me.Plus it seems every year that go's by.Things get worse.I'm 37.Still single as ever.I at times fear that i will never marry.I hate the area of the USA i live in.People are not friendly here.If i had the money.I'd move back to Cali or Vegas.The only good part.About where i live.Is that it is cheap to live.Lousy weather here.Hate the winters here and summers.Winter to dang cold.Summer to damn hot and sticky.I feel like i have been in a rut for years.I wish a lot of things would change for me this year.I want some good friends in my life.Near where i live.Plus a special man in my life.I also wish i had better relationships with family or be strong enough to cut ties with a few.Meaning my mom and a few others.My mom has always been a control freak.Plus verbal abusive to me.I went and saw her for Christmas.It was a disaster.Then there is my aunt and uncle.They are always to busy to call me every now and then.They only talk to me during holidays.Then there is folks i use to be friends with.Ones here in IL.They have used me,walked all over me etc.The only real friends i have all live in Cali.I have become some what of a loner.I usally go to baseball games and concerts alone.Because i'd rather go alone.Than hang out with people i don't like.My best friend lives in Cali.Is 35 and still lives with her mom.Cali is not cheap to live.But i think she should already be living on her own.Her mom has a tendecy to be verbally abusive to her.I think my best friends self esteem is worse than mine.Since she lives with her mom and has to deal with being called names.I live on my own and don't have a close relationship with my mom.My mom lives in Texas.I in Illonis thank God. I am way more independent.Than my best friend.I think my best friend needs to move out and experince life.I worry about my best friend daily.Plus i miss her.Want to go visit her.But as long as she still lives with her mom.I won't go visit.Because i won't stand by seeing her mom verbally abuse her.

I hope that 2008 is better for you too!

Ever think of moving to Calif. and you and your friend getting a place together and share expenses?

If I didn't have this job I have I would be gone from this frozen tundra today. I cannot think of a worse place in the country to be than here. Minne-so-cold. Been here 20 years and DW and me have zero friends. Unless you were born and raised here you are treated like an outcast.
They call it Minnesota NICE we call it Minnesota ICE, they are tight here and no outsiders are allowed into the inner circle.

My kids do ok because they grew up here and went to school here and married girls from here. We on the other hand are not invited ever to any functions so, we just journey along and wait untill I retire and then we will be leaving for warmer parts and gentler hearts.

The thing is.I can't afford Cali.Plus if i moved.I'd want to move in with someone who has lived on their own for a few years.I don't want to move to Cali.Then get stuck with paying all the rent.If things don't work out having a roomate.Near where i live.People to act like if u did not live in the Metro area.Your whole life..You are not worth being their friend.Which i think is totally lame.
