Scattershootin’ Scattershootin’ while wondering whatever happened to roll down windows and toll booths...

From the Hey it’s Me, not You Corner... an excerpt from my recent breakup.

“This is just not working out between us. Well more Jess Wantz, Scott Moize, Clayton Bailey KW’s Amy Flores so PRETTY in pink!

specifically, it’s not working for me. You don’t understand my tastes, my desires, or my needs. You drag me down. My energy level is low. At first I thought I was depressed until I talked to my friends. What I need is compassion, especially late at night. You make me feel so bad, especially when I cheat on you. I just don’t need the guilt trip. I can tolerate you during the day but at nights, and especially on weekends, I NEED MORE, and you leave me un-fulfilled. My will power is not where it should be. I will keep you in my thoughts. More than likely, we will try this again, possibly towards the end of the year. I’m sorry. See you later...diet!”

Things that make me go WTF… A friend (and I use that term loosely) recently told me he was not narcissistic. His reasoning was simple. He believed he was truly better than everyone else. He even had the selfies Gorgeous Amanda Rosander, Britt Anderson & Juliette Bouchard at DCC Awards

to prove it. Does anyone still use WWW or FAX? If so, you are probably the person most likely to let me bum a stamp from you…Don’t worry…we still need you.

Love, Jeff
