Hmm...interesting i find that annoys me when i see it but not enough for me to get upset or actually do anything about it!!

"Spears' monthly expenses include $49,267 in mortgage for two houses"

I'd call that an investment!

My self-esteem just hit an all time low. But i'm also pissed off at the state of the world - so i hope you my on-line GNR buddies will tollerate a bit of a rant!

ISSUE #1:

i've been single now for years and years. And its basicly cos girls like jerks and i'm not enough of a fuckhead (even though i am quite a bit of one! haha!). Its all in the confidence they tell me.

Anyway I thought i was dealing ok with that recently. But its kinda unnatural not to be with someone at least occasionally!! So i'm pissed about it!! LOL

ISSUE #2:

Now you'll laugh at me cos this is related to Facebook.

(yes...i used to think it was (a) shit and (b) a myspace rip off - but I recenly joined cos i had a lot of family on there and they were suggesting its better than email for keeping in touch easily).

Anyways...so i'm on Facebook and adding my friends and so forth. So I add an ex-girlfriend who still chats to me occasionaly on MSN etc. She approves the add no problem. Then facebook asks how we know each other - so i choose the option "we dated". Anyway it gives her the option to approve that as accurate - and then she doesn't!!

So I can only assume this is because she is ASHAMED of the fact that she used to date me. Like i'm so disgraceful to her that she has to hide my past existance from her friends!!

Now i know i should get a life and so on. I mean its face book. Who the fuck cares right? I mean i'm 30 not 11 i shouldn't even be using the thing. And its an ex anyway. But for some reason i'm feeling emotional today and that shit has pissed me off big time.

So i tell 2 of my band mates at dinner tonight (a guy and a girl) about it joking round for conversation and they go like "umm..well maybe you wern't dating". So i explain that i was taking her out on dates - like to see plays at the theatre and shit like that, and that we were fucking and they're like "well thats not necessarily dating". And started up about how i was old fashioned.

So this has pissed me off all the more. Like i could deal with her being an ashamed of me bitch. But  what kinda sick world do we live in - where you can exclusively see a person for months on end - several times a week - going out to dinner, restraunts, plays, movies, and having a sexual relationship as well and its NOT dating?

ISSUE #3:

Got fired from work last week

Enough said about that!

ISSUE #4:

A friend's girlfriend recently told me flat out (unsolicited) that my facial hair i've grown in the last few weeks "Won't help you get any more attractive to women" - the exact words escape me. Now you had to be there cos it really wasn't a joke and I can accept that many girls dont dig facial hair - thats not the problem - like the inflection if you were there was more like "cos your so fucking ugly even without the hair" and thats the bit that pissed me off.

I mean i could respect her for telling it true rather than hiding it i guess. But at the same time i was also kinda thinking - like who comes up and says that unsolicited? Like i wasn't talking about dating or girls or shit - she just walks in the room and starts telling me i'm uglier 'than normal'.

WHAT KIND OF WORLD IS THIS!!

Anyways...thanks for listening to a BS rant!!! Figured i'd post it here rather than waste a new thread with my crap!

This is good news I think.

Cos if the delay is due to the company then surely their need for corporate $ will cause them to undelay soon and we'll get the album.

Unless it was code for "we made out offer to the record company and they dont like our terms, its in their court now" in which case we might be in for a long wait.
